Playmate (1)

"Ranz."

Randell looked around the empty room and searched for the voice who softly called his name.

"Here, here, I am here." The person behind the quiet voice is trying her best not to be heard outside the room.

Randell looked up at the ceiling and saw a small crack and a brown eye which was peeping through it.

"How did you get there?" he asked while hurriedly moving the bed to reach the ceiling.

The room he is in is quite empty, a bed made of foam without a frame is the only thing inside the gloomy room.

Randell, who is 18 years old, is once again locked inside a room with no windows. He didn't know why his parents traditionally locked him in this prison-like room every full moon, but he thought that his parents were only doing this because it was part of their weird way of disciplining their child.

"I went here to pick you up. Your parents won't allow me to see you, so I crawled inside one of your vents. I almost got fried, you know!" She whispered while she seriously told him what happened. "Anyway, I got lost and crawled out into your ceiling, I didn't know where the exit was and ended up here!"

Randell was dumbfounded by his girlfriend's eccentricity.

"Go back now! You'll get in trouble if mom catches you. " He poked his finger into the crack to widen it a little bit. The crack at the side of the ceiling is only the size of her eyes. He is quite amazed at how his girlfriend managed to see him through it.

"Like I said, I am lost! I don't know which way is the right way! let me down and let me use the door instead!" Her voice got a little louder, and that made Randell gesture to her to lower her voice.

She pouted as she shifted her lower body to the side, her back hurting from crawling up the ceiling for so long.

This action made the hole crack even more and made the hole grow wider to the size of their heads.

"Nice! Now guide me down!" She excitedly ordered.

But Randell's expression became anxious.

"What? What's wrong?" she asked, because he moved back rather than help her down.

"I am actually locked in here,"

"Huh? Why? Is this some kind of punishment room?" She peeked into the hole and looked around. "How long will you be here? Your graduation ceremony would start soon."

"I won't be attending; mom will let me out tomorrow."

"Huh? Why? Your graduation is important!" She shoved her head out of the hole, which made Randell panic because she might fall down.

"I will still graduate even without attending the ceremony." He gloomy responded.

Today at 6pm is supposed to be his high-school graduation.

Most parents are excited about their child's graduation, but in Randell's case, they would be exhilarated too, if only the graduation didnt happen at the same time as the full moon.

He never thought that even on this special occasion, they would also lock him up in this usual enclosed room.

"Come up here instead! Let's go to your graduation ceremony together!" she naively offered.

"But!"

His eyes shook and he swallowed his saliva while thinking about what to do. He was afraid to disobey his parents for the first time.

"Come on!" she shouted while reaching out her arms to him to let Randell climb up.

He shakes his head before finally grabbing the hand of Nida.

They struggled for a moment to climb up, but they managed to safely go up.

He saw the ceiling made of steel once he was about to start to crawl. Only part of the hole was made of wood, and the rest was strongly built with steel.

He wondered why the room was specially built that way. He then looked at the bottom of his girlfriend in front of him.

His face lightly flushed into red because he could see her girlfriend's skirt slightly showing her thighs, she is wearing her school uniform.

"Hey, move a little bit, I'll guide the way out."

He doesn't know the vents around his house, but he knows his house better than his girlfriend, who randomly infiltrated his house.

"What comes to your mind climbing out of her?" He mumbled while slowly crawling, making sure that the ceiling they were crawling on could take their weight.

"I miss you," she said, while pouting.

He paused for a moment, then smiled.

"I miss you too. You can kiss my butt if you really miss me." He jokingly said while Nida was following behind him.

Aaah!!

"Hey! You crazy!" He could not look back because the passage was too narrow. He just felt his butt hurt from a bite.

"HAHAHA! That's what you get! You just have to tell me you miss me too! Why do you have to tease me like that!"

"Okay, fine! Sorry! Just behave there! We are almost out!"

A few minutes later, they could feel air inside the narrow passage.

"Exit!" Nida excitedly shouted since she badly wanted to stretch out her body.

"Quiet down!"

He stealthily peeked out the hole and realized that they were out in their storage room. He jumped off the hole and opened his arms to catch Nida, who happily jumped in.

"Are you having fun?" he asked his eccentric girlfriend.

"sort of. It is my first time exploring like that, haha. Your house is quite fun, except it is painful for my back."

She began to stretch her body.

"Let's go?" he asked closely, while they were still hugging each other due to his catching Nida from the ceiling.

The dim and silent storage room only receives a small amount of light from its small glass window, which reflects the orange light from the setting sun.

The small amount of warm light made the two teenagers gaze at each other's eyes intensely.

No one dared to let go, and soon they started to hear each other's heart beats.

Randell held her waist a little tighter as she wrapped her arms around his shoulder.

Nida's pale complexion was painted with a reddish blush by just staring at her lover and smelling his sweet scent of baby cologne.

She lightly chuckled at the thought of him still using baby cologne.

Seeing Nida's smile, Randell's heart beat beats wilder. Then they started to give each other light kisses until the kiss slowly began to go deeper and deeper.

Nida just let her feet hang. She wrapped her arms around his neck, then messed up his silver-blonde hair while she felt the warm movements of his tongue.

The dim and silent storage room was painted by the two teenagers' love.

"What to do?" Randell asked while both of them caught their breath.

"What?" she asked as he let go of her body.

"I won't be in jail for teaching a fifteen-year-old kid to kiss?"

"Just marry me if you don't want to be in jail." She winks at him, then they walk together out of the storage room while holding hands.

The sun was already gone, but still they could see the color of the sky in violet and orange.

Randell started to walk, but Nida pulled his hand and made him stop.

"What's wrong?" He looked at her worriedly because she just kept her gaze on the ground. "You won't leave me and forget about me when you go to college?"

She is fidgeting while asking this question.

"How could I leave you if you are my everything." He slightly bent his knee to look into Nida's eyes, still looking down "You won't leave me, even if you meet more beautiful and mature women?" She looked into his eyes worriedly. That made him chuckle, then brush his fingers across her face.

"What kind of thing are you worrying about? You, and only you. I don't need anyone else. " He kissed her cheeks and drew her hand to start walking again.

"I promise under this violet sky, which is the product of the day sky and the night sky combined, that I will always love Nida Mildea. No one else."

Nida smiled at the romantic oath from her lover and nodded her head in assurance.

"Come on, we will be troubled if mom finds us here."

Nida held her boyfriend's hand tighter and let him lead the way,

"I love you forever," she shouted happily.

"Well, I don't." A low voice suddenly interrupted her dream.

'Huh? a dream?' She got up from the bed and looked around the room.

"Why do I have to dream about that?" she asked herself.

"What dream? Wet dream?" The low voice was still talking to her when she looked into the curtain that was hiding the man on the other side of the bed.

She actually asked for a break in the company clinic because her scalp still hurt from her manager's rage at pulling her hair, which she ended up dozing off in one of the comfortable clinic beds.

There is another bed beside her with a curtain as a divider.

She rose barefoot and slid the curtain to the side.

"Danny, why are you here?"she asked him as she looked at the hot compress on his stomach.

"Is it the time of the month?" she asked teasingly.

Daniel frowned and threw the pillow toward Nida, which she instantly caught.

He doesn't feel well due to excessive vomiting, that he feels like he also vomited his internal organ. He went to the clinic to rest only to see Nida also sleeping on the other bed with weird sleep talking.

"I don't feel well enough to be joking with you." He turned away from Nida and covered himself with a black blanket.

"Wow, you even have your personal blanket here?" She looked at the black blanket that was obviously not from the clinic.

"Go back to sleep; it seems you have an intimate dream."

Nida made a fake laugh and then sat on the bed where Daniel was lying. She then gave him a light nudge.

"intimate? I don't think that was intimate, I dream about the time we were still dating, the time we were still happy together. That was the time we were still both innocent, That time I still don't know." As usual, she opens up to Daniel without any awkwardness. She doesn't know what made her comfortable with him, but she knows that Daniel is a good listener.

"At the beginning of the night, he promised not to love anyone else but me, but after the full moon showed up, that promise was voided at the same time. He tried to kill me."

She looked up to stop her eyes from tearing up.

"I was happy before the night came. It was a sweet, nice dream, but not until midnight when it became a nightmare."

She continued to share, unsure if Daniel was listening.

"Nida, have you ever tried to date someone else after breaking off with him?" Daniel asked as he turned his body to face Nida, but he was still covered in a blanket except for his face.

"No, why?" Her tears backed away due to the sudden question from Daniel.

"Want to date me instead?"

Nida jolted up and made a step back.

"d-date you? Why? suddenly? we just met yesterday!" She stuttered and became confused by the sudden proposal.

Even though they just met yesterday, Sunday, she feels like she and him got closer to each other because that Sunday afternoon, until midnight, they talked about many things. They shared so much personal information, but that doesn't mean she would date him.

Daniel sat up and laughed at Nida's reaction.

"YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME!?" Because of his prank, she hit Daniel's chest. "Why do you like me?" He let go of the blanket and moved closer to her so they could feel each other's breath.

"You have a pretty face. Who won't like you?" She awkwardly moved away and walked straight to the door.

"Y-you fucking overboard with your prank! don't cross the line!" She shouted, then ran out of the door but came back immediately because she had forgotten her shoes underneath the bed.

"Bye!" She said goodbye and hurriedly left the clinic.

"What line I shouldn't cross?" His lips curled up while looking at the door where Nida left it open.

"This time I won't be playing anymore."
