Chapter 14

I don’t know how minutes or hours have passed but since I’m enjoying watching the sky that’s full of stars, I don’t mind. My mom always says when we’re still a kid that is clueless in this universe that even if the moon only appeared at night despite the challenges he has, he still shines but what’s the real reason why the moon and sun don’t meet every day or night?

Some say that the Moon and Sun love each other not until Moon betrayed the Sun and slept with the Morning Star. Since then, as punishment, the Moon and the Sun could never meet; the moon had to travel by night, and the sun by day. But why did the moon do that even if he already has a lover?

Although I’m still not sure if it’s true it’s true, I know that the Moon regrets what he has done. It’s always regret that comes last and it should be a lesson to everyone that you need to think twice or thrice before doing it because you will regret it.

I shook my head and let out a soft chuckle. I’m being dramatic again and I hate it. Ever since I got the curse, I became this, over-thinker and dramatic which is not good for my mental health.

I decided to stand up and open the door of her balcony. I know, she’s now sleeping peacefully but I wanted to touch and mesmerize her face one last time before I transform into a dog again. This woman can only make me crazy whenever I turn to my dog from.

“You enjoy making fun of me,” I whispered and slowly sat on the space next to her. I rest my back on the headboard and stare at her innocent face.

“Even if you’re clueless, I’m still fucking embarrassed.” I place those strands of her hair that covers her face on the back of her ear and bit my lower lip.

“I didn’t mean to fall in love with you because you’re a mortal but damn this heart of mine! It keeps on pounding whenever I saw you.” I close my eyes and shook my head softly. I still can’t believe that I’m admitting my feeling to this woman wherein she’s sleeping peacefully.

“I look like a fucking coward,” I whispered one last time and lean to kiss her forehead.

“Have a good sleep, woman.” I stood up and look at the balcony wherein I saw the soon that was now rising.

“Tofu!” she exclaimed when she saw me staring at the balcony while my tail is now wiggling.

“I was so worried yesterday when I didn’t see you here in my room. I just took a shower but you suddenly disappeared!” she said but I just stare at her as a normal dog does.

“If only you knew that I am that man who’s talking to you yesterday,” I whispered in my mind which made me mentally smile.

“Did my bodyguard see you?” she asked which made me nod my head repeatedly and bark at her. When she saw my reaction, she let out a deep sigh and shook her head. A ghost smile appeared on her lips that made me curious.

“What are you thinking, woman?” I wanted to ask her but how can I if I’m just a dog here? Is she thinking of me or the man that she talked to before? Maybe it’s not. I’m just being a paranoid dog here but what if he is the man that she’s thinking?

Thinking about that made my jaw clench and let out a low growl which caught her attention. Her eyes furrowed and her forehead creased as if she were reading me. “Woman, you can’t read me since I’m just a dog but I’m good at hiding my feelings.”

“Tofu, you wanted to eat now?” she suddenly asked but I just turn my back on her and lay down but she was not still satisfied with my reaction so she massage her temple as if I did a big mess.

“Hello? I’m just getting jealous if you’re still thinking about him but why do you look so problematic about my sudden change of mood?”

“Tofu, did you see the handsome bodyguard of mine?” My ears suddenly move when I heard about that. So she’s thinking about me? What the fuck?! For real?! I didn’t know that I’m just getting jealous of myself. What kind of mind do I have?

But because of what she said, there’s something inside me that’s flying. Is this what you called a butterfly in the stomach? I thought it was just a joke but once you feel it, you will believe it. So this is the feeling of being in love, huh?

It’s the first time since I haven’t been falling in love with the werewolves even if they’re beautiful and hot but this woman, a mere mortal made my heart pound, and just by her simple gestures, I fell in love. I must be crazy, crazy in love with her.

“He’s handsome, Tofu. Should I thank you for disappearing yesterday?” she broke the silence that filled her room which made me chuckle in my mind. So that’s how you abandon your dog just because of me? I didn’t know that I’m that handsome that will be left in your mind.

“Did you just memorize my face? Because if you do, I also did that, woman.” This is true. I don’t have plans on denying it because I admit, I did that because I was too stunned by her beauty and her attitude. I wonder what kind of love is it? Is it true love, love at first sight, or last love? Because I’m clueless but one thing is for sure, I love this woman.

“But I still can’t believe that I have a bodyguard, Tofu. If you just saw him with his prince outfit, it will be a jaw drop. Good thing, I’m not that obvious because if I am, I will die of shame.” I burst my laugh because of that. She’s just like a kid who’s talking about her crush and it’s so adorable.
