Chapter-282

Snorlax


Keifer's POV


Angelo's words are recorded in my mind. A broken record that keeps
playing. My head hurts over and over again.
He's alive.
I have a brother who is older than me and still a boy. The inherits
or my inherits are now in jeopardy. I need to find him before he
finds out about our family.
I looked at Honey approaching. She was carrying the gift I wrapped
or her.
"Done." She said before handing me the gift.
"Thanks." I said in a plot tone.
I took out my cellphone and checked to see if
Ervin had replied. But there's none. I just threw the phone on the coffee
table.
Honey sat down on the sofa opposite me. He looks at me and my phone
until she notices my other phone. The one that I use to contact Jay.
"New phone? What's this for?" She's about to pick it up but I grab it
first.
"It's my private phone."
She pouted her lips. "Does Keigan know that?"
"No. Better not to tell him."
"It's up to you..." She said and stood to leave. "...When you fight again,
we won't defend you anymore."
I just let her go. Keigan are becoming more bossy each
day. And when we fight about who should be followed,
the next thing is he will act different. Sometimes it takes a while but
most of the time it's just a moment.
It's like he's getting my stress from what's going on. Last night
we received a call from one of my cousins. He asked me to celebrate my
birthday Watson style and they will organize everything.
I knew they had a plan so I declined. I felt like
they were just sucking it in because my birthday was coming up and the day
everyone would pass on my name.
With each passing day, I was having more and more difficulty. It felt like I was
being strangled.
I gripped my phone out of frustration. Before I could even read that,
I thought I'd text Jay-jay. I was going to say hello since it's St. Valentine's day.
I was still smiling as I pressed send.
Not that long when I received her reply. I laughed so hard when I read it.
From: MyFutureMrsWatson
Message: Pakyu!
Profanity!
Keep cursing. I'm mentally listing it. At least the weight
I was feeling was reduced. Jay-jay really knows how to make me feel better. How I
wish I could do the same to her.
I decided to go to Ci's birthday party. I brought the gift
I wrapped for Honey. I put it at the passenger seat of my car.
I ran normally because I had no reason to hurry.
I reached Ci's condo building. It's owned by the
Peraltas. Not sure though which one owns this. Maybe his brother or sister.
I went down with my gift. I didn't know where the
event was so I decided to go to Ci's unit. When I got
there, I pressed the doorbell button.
"Keifer? Hi..." It was his mother. "...come in."
I did what she said. Ci-N's family was complete but I couldn't see
that she was happy on her face.
"Mr. Watson! Nice to see you here." His Dad greet me and offer his
hand for a handshake.
I accepted it and gave him a short smile. "I came here to give it
personally."
I handed Ci-N my gift. He smiled widely while accepting it.
"Happy Birthday." I added.
"Thank you! Can I open it?" Referring to the gift he was holding.
I nodded shortly giving him the permission. He opened the gift
while biting his lip. I looked at the open gifts on
his coffee table. Most of the gifts are gadgets and shoes. Probably from his family.
"What is this?" He said while reading the certification. "Ownership? Jet
plane?" His eyes widened and he shouted in joy. "It's a real jet plane
? For me?"
I could see Ci's parents were surprised so they took the rest
of the gift. The manual, contract and target design of his plane.
They were all surprised.
"Y-you're giving my son a private jet plane?" His father asked before
looking at his wife.
"Yes, but he can't use it now."
Ci looked at the other contents of the gift. His smile never left his face,
especially when he saw the toy figure of his future airplane. His name
was written on its tail.
"Cool! When can I get this?"
"When you turn 21. You still have time to study piloting."
His whole family immediately looked at me. They were clearly against
what I said.
"I think that's impossible. He's going to Medical School
after high school." His Mother explained.
"I know, but no one can fly that plane. Its voice recognition process."
His brother immediately shook his head. He then left without
informing any of us.
Someone is pissed off.
"I think I'll wait outside. Maybe my friends will come." His
sister said and followed their brother.
"I have a plane!" Ci-N said while playing with the toy figure.
Ci's Dad faced me and looked at me seriously.
"Can we talk outside?"
I knew what they were going to say but I still agreed. We left
Ci's unit.
"You look like you need to take back your gift." He said and forced a
smile. "...My son will be the most successful doctor in our family.
I don't want to lose sight of what he's studying."
"No worries Doctor Peralta. Piloting is just a short time
away for Ci. He can still study at Medical School."
He sighed. "We appreciate your gift, but please don't
push my son to take piloting."
"I'm not pushing him. It's up to him whether he still pilots
or sells the plane."
Suddenly the door of the unit opened. We both looked
at each other. It was Ci-N and his Mother.
"We're on the rooftop!" He shouted while raising his hands.
"Stop shouting." His Mother said.
His Father gave me a meaningful look before we walked
to the elevator. Ci still couldn't stop smiling. Every now and then
he would twitch, causing his Mother to pinch him.
"Aw... Aw... It hurts." He said while scratching his back.
When the elevator opened, we went out one after the other. We
went through the fire exit to the rooftop. As expected it was a birthday party for a 7
year old.
Then they got angry because Ci was still a child. Yet they still
spoiled him like a child.
I saw the other mascots getting ready to wear
their costumes. Most of them are males. I also saw a Snorlax.
Jay-jay will definitely like you.
But I don't like the idea that she will hug this Snorlax. A man is wearing
a costume, what if he scares Jay-jay? I'll break his neck
and bury him while still wearing that costume.
"Keifer." Someone called me.
It was Felix with David and Rory. I look behind them and check if
everyone is here. We're almost complete. Almost.
"Did you give me your gift?" Yuri asked me while offering me a drink.
An orange juice drink.
"Yeah." I said after accepting his offer.
"I won't ask anymore. I already know what
your gift is." He said and smiled.
I just shrugged before looking for a seat. I saw
Calix sitting alone while her girlfriend is a bit away from him.
LQ?
Edrix noticed my gaze so he started
talking first.
"Mica already found out what we did to Jay. That's why...
It looks like we're threatening a break up."
"Aw..." It was Eren while holding his chest as if he's in pain.
"Don't be annoying. Maybe we'll get hurt." Kit immediately stopped
him and the others that were about to start.
I just sat down next to Josh who was quietly observing the others.
Yuri sits beside me.
"Do you think Jay will come?" I heard Denzel talking to Blaster.
"He's coming." He answered.
"What if he doesn't." Drew interrupted their conversation so
the others looked at them.
"I'll pick her up then." David said that makes me look at him deadly.
Grim reaper will pick you up.
"And why are you picking her up?"
"Because she won't come if you pick her up." He said
in a matter-of-fact tone.
" Burn Baby Burn..."
"Roasted chicken are the best."
"Where's the burn area?"
They reacted one after another. There was another whistle that
irritated me even more.
"What makes you think she'll come with you?" It tried my best to
remain calm.
"Instinct." He said shortly.
She turned away from us and walked away quickly. I'll let her go
now but in the next few days when I see her making a
move on Jay-jay, I'll break his spine.
"Why did you let her?" Yuri whispered.
"Right now she's the only one who can get close to Jay-jay without
receiving any reprimands."
I just hope Jay will really come. I only have a short time to stay
here. Sooner or later we'll travel back to London. I'm just making the most of the
time I'm still here and I can still see him. I'm sure
I'll be busy when I get there.
The others are starting to get food. I'm not in the mood to eat
yet. I automatically looked at the fire exit door.
Please... Jay.
I almost stood up when I saw it open. I hold myself
immediately. I might not be able to stop myself from hugging him. But it wasn't
Jay-jay who came out of the door. It's Rakki.
I still haven't taken my eyes off the door. Hoping to see a very
amiliar person. The door opened again and the familiar
person came out. It's David and he's holding a huge Jar with a ribbon. I looked to see if
anyone was following but there was none.
David put down the gifts he was holding on the table then he walked closer
to us.
"Where's Jay?" I ask.
He pointed at the Fire Exit door. "I don't want to go out."
Suddenly Ci-N ran towards the Fire Exit while
shouting 'Jay-jay' one after another. I didn't notice that she came towards us.
"Ci-N will take care of her." Eren said while eating cake.
I just hope they don't fight.
I saw Rakki sit next to Mica and they chatted for a while.
I had a suspicion that she and Jay were really together and
David didn't pick her up.
Not that long when the Fire Exit door opened again. This time,
Jay-jay was with her. She immediately looked around. She must have been amazed
by the Party. I saw Rakki approach and they chatted for a while.
"Told yah she'll come." David boasted.
I rolled my eyes. She probably didn't pick up Jay-jay.
I have a strong feeling that she and Rakki came here together. That's
how fast she got back.
Asshole.
I look back at Jay-jay who is currently talking to Rakki. Out of nowhere
she stand up and shout while pointing at Snorlax. But what I didn't
expect was what he did next.
He hugged Snorlax.
Hugging is Snorlax is okay. Snorlax hugging her back is okay. Knowing
that there's a guy inside the Snorlax mascot is NOT OKAY! And it
never will be! I tried
to calm down. That guy is doing his job. To wear a mascot and
play with the kids. With the kids....Jay-jay is not a fvcking kid and it's not
part of his job!
I quickly stood up and rushed towards them but Jay-jay got distracted and
immediately pushed Snorlax away. I tried to follow them but because of
the kids running and meeting me I had a hard time.
Until they disappeared from my sight.
Where the fvck are they? I'll just find that Snorlax,
I'll drop him in this building.
I can't see them. Add to that the chaos of these kids. I
don't think this party is for Ci-N. I was forced to go back to our table and
sit down next to Yuri again. But my eyes are still searching for that Mascot.
"Letting go, but here you are searching for your next victim."
Yuri heard and I gave him a death glare.
I went back to searching for the pokemon. Until I saw him walking and
playing with the kids.
"Found you! Son of a b!tch!" I said before walking toward him.
I'm plotting a plan in my mind on how I will kill him. I pulled
some kids to get closer. I picked them up and immediately
threw them away.
"Sir!" I heard from inside the mascot.
"I will kill you for hugging my girlfriend!" I said and was about to throw
him out of this building.
"Sir, don't!"
I stopped when an idea suddenly came to my mind. Jay-jay
likes hugging Snorlax.
I faced the mascot and forcibly pulled the thing on his head. I could see
his fear of me.
"Take off that costume." I ordered. "
Sir?"
"Take it off!"
"My boss will get angry with me." He said and scratched his
head.
I took out my wallet and took out the money. I handed it to him and
he looked at it in surprise.
"Buy a new Boss that won't make you angry." I said and forced
him to accept the money.
He was forced to take his hand out of the costume he was wearing and accepted
the money.
"Are you serious, Sir?"
"Just give me the costume. Then leave. I don't want to
see you here anymore."
He took off the costume which I immediately took and put on.
He helped me and before putting on the one on his head he asked me.
"Are you serious, Sir? What are you planning?"
"None of your business!"
He just scratched his head again before putting on the one he was holding to
complete the mascot. I had a hard time walking at first but once
I got the technique I was able to move inside. It was also hot and
had a strange smell but I don't care.
I looked for Jay-jay but she's busy talking to the birthday boy. I didn't want
to spoil the scene so I left them alone for now. Ci-N is crying and
apologizing while Jay-jay is smiling genuinely.
Someone is forgiven.
I waited for them to finish talking until I saw Ci-N carrying his gift. But
Jay-jay wasn't thereâ€".
"Bulaga!"
I almost jumped because of that. I looked up and she suddenly appeared and
hugged me. I smiled when I recognized her. I hug her back.
My Jay-jay is hugging me.
She smiled while looking at me. How I miss hugging her. I feel so
overwhelmed. I don't want to let go. I'm here if she always
hugs me.
"Sorry earlier, huh? The King of the Snakes has a bump
." She said that makes my forehead crease "...I don't understand
what life is like."
Are they that close to the original man who wore it and
can now talk like that. It doesn't matter. What's important is that we hug now. I hugged her
even tighter and it's good that she didn't surprise me. "I wish there was a real Snorlax in the world. So I could
run away from that little Ulopong that's been bothering my mind and heart." That Ulopong is definitely me. It's
good that there's no real Snorlax. Say whatever you want to say. As long as you hug me. Even if you insult me.
I won't give a fvck! "...Never mind... I can move on from that pest too. I'll lose my feelings for him too, and I
can't wait ." She said that makes me stop. Did she just say the word 'Move on'? No! It's not possible! She can't
move on from me. Not now! And its never! I let go of her and looked at her. "I won't let you!" I shouted and
removed the head thing. She slightly moved away from me with a wide eye. "I won't let you move on. I won't let
you fall out of love. I won't allow it." She couldn't speak. I slowly took a step closer to her. "You can't do that!
You can't move on and forget everything that we've done!" Instead of answering me like she always did. She
suddenly ran away from me. I chase her as fast as I can but this costume is giving me trouble. She's wearing
it everywhere so it's making me even more difficult. The kids also confused me so it's making me even more
difficult. Until I saw Jay at the top of the inflatable slide. "We need to talk!" I shouted but she just shook her
head. She was supposed to go down but she changed her mind and suddenly slid down. I thought I could stop
her but because of this costume I kept falling. "Damn it! Remove this thing from me!" I tried to stand up again
but I was having a hard time. Until two arms helped me stand up. It was Rory and Edrix whose laughing at me.
"Are you serious Keifer?" Edrix asked with a laugh and shook his head. "Stop laughing and help me remove
this thing." They helped me remove my costume. It was like I had escaped from the corral and breathed a sigh
of relief. I handed Rory the Snorlax costume. "Put it away. I'll take it home." Rory just shook her head while
laughing. I immediately searched for Jay-jay but she was nowhere to be found. I saw Ci-N walking while
holding a balloon. "Ci. I need a place where I can talk to Jay." "I still have another unit. That's where you go
through the Fire Exit." He said and gave me the room number and door code. I went back to looking for Jay-
jay. I went around the rooftop. It was almost 30 minutes before I saw her. "We need to talk." I said and grabbed
her hand. She didn't resist or complain so I kept walking towards the room Ci pointed out to me. She still didn't
move even though we were inside the unit. I was sure. I'll tell her the truth. I won't torture ourselves anymore .
"I will explain to you everyâ€"." A strong slap stopped me. Anger consumed me but I needed to control it. I
couldn't do anything to hurt her again. "Is it hurt? Even though, to be fair." She said sarcastically. I took a deep
breath to control my anger. "I deserve this." I said in a plot tone. She chuckled bitterly. "You know because YOU
TALKING! I'M GOING TO BREAK YOU SO MUCH! I want to break your bones." I bit my lips and looked away.
Maybe I pushed her to her limit. I shouldn't have made this take longer. I tried to reach her and grab her by
both arms but she slapped my hand away. "Don't touch me!" "Let me explain." I said calmly. Please listen to
me. "Explain what? Okay, let me hear another lie of yours." I swallowed to clear the blockage in my throat. I
wanted her to listen. I wanted her to hear my explanation. "Jay..." I almost beg. "...I understand that you're mad
but please listen to me." "Just please! Just explain... Because I want to understand why you're playing with
me. Why you keep hurting me . Why are you here again and bothering me." She gave me a fake smile. "...Just
explain. Maybe it will make me clear and be a reason for me to forget my feelings for you." NO! She can't move
on. She can't forget everything just like that. I couldn't stop myself from punching the wall. I breathed heavily.
There's so much pain in my chest right now. "I told you. I won't let you." "Who are you to stop me? Why? Aren't
you the reason I want to forget? Then now you won't let me? YOUR FACE IS SO FAR!" She starts to cry and its
giving me more pain. "...I don't want it anymore. I don't want to love you anymore." "I can't." "I don't want it
anymore!" She shouts. "I can't." I repeated. "Stop it! I can't love you anymore!" " I can't." "That's enough! Don't
make me suffer anymore!" Please stop! "I can't!" "Why don't you let me go?! Why?! WHY?!" "BECAUSE I CAN'T
LOSE YOU!" I couldn't help but scream as tears fell from one of my eyes. It hurt me to hear that he would be
gone forever. I can't. I can't. How can I continue if I lose my reason to fight. "I can't lose you. So, please... Don't
move on." I pleaded. Suddenly she cried loudly. I knew she was struggling too. I didn't want this. I wanted
nothing more than to make sure you were safe.
