Deja Vu

When they reached Ziro's house, Alina was surprised and shocked.

The house was totally fine, as though nothing had ever happened.

'I just came here yesterday, and it was all broken…' Alina was even more confused now.

They entered the house, and Ziro took Alina to his room.

"Make yourself home. But then again…" Ziro kissed Alina and said, "This is going to be your home sooner or later."

"Where is Angelica?" Alina asked.

"Huh?" Ziro furrowed his brows and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I told you in the morning, right? Mom and dad went on their honeymoon."

"....!"

'What is this? Is this some kind of dream? Why is this happening?'

"Anyway, sit on the bed. I will play the song," Ziro grabbed his guitar and started playing it.

As he played, he looked at Alina to see her reaction, but Alina was lost in some thought.

Ziro sighed and stopped playing the guitar, then threw it on the side.

Alina came back to her senses after the 'thud' sound and looked at the broken guitar.

"What happened?"

"If you don't want to listen, then say so, don't act like this," Ziro asserted.

"It's not like that. I wanted to—"

"You have been acting strange since school. What's wrong? It's something bothering you?" After a brief pause, he added, "Or is it because of what I said to you in the morning?"

"Huh?"

Ziro exhaled sharply and said, "There you go again. Acting as if you don't remember anything."

Alina's eyes got teary, and her lips trembled.

"Hey, hey," Ziro rushed to Alina and hugged her, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I am just worried about you, okay?"

Alina hugged him back and said something in a muffled voice.

"What was that?" Ziro asked.

Alina looked up at Ziro and said, "Kiss me."

"With pleasure," Ziro kissed Alina on the lips.

"One more," Alina requested.

Ziro kissed her again.

"One more."

Ziro kissed her again, but this time, longer. They kissed each other as though nothing else mattered in this world. Ziro pushed Alina on the bed and pinned her down.

"You made me do this," he said and started kissing Alina again.

Ziro started squeezing Alina's breasts and kept kissing her. They kissed for some minutes, and as Ziro was about to get his hand under Alina's skirt, Alina pushed him back and said, "That's enough."

"Come on. You can't blue ball me like that," Ziro kissed Alina and sat back.

Alina stood up and kissed Ziro, then said, "You haven't eaten breakfast or lunch yet, right? I will make you something tasty to eat."

Ziro pulled Alina on his lap and said, "I can just order something."

Alina pushed Ziro on the bed and said, "But I want you to eat my handmade cooking."

Alina went downstairs to make some food. She turned on the stove and opened the fridge to take out the ingredients.

"Why do I feel like I know what's going to happen next?"

Alina's memories were overlapping, and hence she was forgetting the future memories.

She chopped the vegetables and put them in the pan.

"Should I stay the night here?" Alina asked herself. "But if I stay, then we would definitely end up having…"

Alina's face flushed just by imagining that.

SIGH~

She sighed and looked at the clock in the living room.

The time was 12: 00: 40.

Her face tensed up as the time passed. Suddenly, a scene flashed before her eyes where she saw Ziro lying on the ground, and his watch showed the time '12:01'.

"What is this tight feeling in my chest?" Alina clenched her chest and looked at the clock.

It was 12:01.

BANG!

Alina heard a loud banging sound from Ziro's room. She remembered everything again and started panicking.

"No, no, no, no. Please no!"

She immediately rushed to the stairs and dashed to Ziro's room. As she was running, she slipped on the stairs and scratched her leg with the glass on the stairs.

She got up again and rushed into Ziro's room.

"Ziro!"

She glanced around his room, but Ziro was nowhere to be seen.

"Ziro!"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ziro came out of his closet.

Alina sighed in relief and hugged him.

"What happened?" Ziro asked with a puzzled look on his face and hugged her back.

"What was that noise?" Alina questioned.

"Oh! That was…" Ziro showed the closet to Alina. "I changed my clothes, and suddenly, I had an urge to look at the swords. So I opened the secret drawer. And as I was taking them out—"

Ziro was explaining the situation to Alina, but he stopped as his gaze fell on Alina's leg.

"What happened to your leg? You are bleeding."

Ziro placed Alina on the bed and licked her wound.

"Don't lick that!"

[Blood Identified.]

"Hmm?" Ziro furrowed his brows with a puzzled look on his face and turned to Alina, "Did you say something?"

"Yes! I said `don't lick that`."

Ziro stood up and licked Alina's cheek as he said, "I can lick you anywhere."

He opened the drawer beside the bed and grabbed the first aid kind.

"I want to say my saliva is the best antiseptic for you, but I don't want to freak you out, so I will apply a real one for you."

Ziro applied the antiseptic and covered the scratch with a bandage.

"Here you go," Ziro kissed her on the cheek and said, "Be careful next time."

Alina grinned and hugged Ziro, "I know you are always there for me."

SNIFF! SNIFF!

Ziro started sniffing.

Alina smiled without looking at Ziro and said, "Don't sniff me."

"Something is burning," Ziro sniffed.

"Oh!" Alina exclaimed. "I left the stove on."

"You stay here; I will turn it off." Ziro patted Alina and went downstairs to turn off the stove.

Alina stared blankly at the wall and uttered, "Why was I so scared after hearing that banging sound?"

Alina had two different memories from the two timelines, and her brain was rejecting her foreign memories.

She sighed and removed the bandage from her leg to see the wound, but it was fully healed.

"My healing powers are getting better."
