Chapter 29 - Not Cute At All

Days passed by, and it was Sunday today. It was already past 11 in the morning, but Luka was still sleeping on his bed like there was no tomorrow.

Suddenly, his body was covered by a shadow, and the voice said, "Hey Luka, wake up."

"Shut up and let me sleep." Luka turned to the other side of the bed.

"Wake up, or I will kick you."

'Kick me? Lily has never said anything like that before.' Luka opened his eyes to see Ana glaring at him with a serious look on her face.

Luka stared at Ana for a while before opening his mouth to say, "Is this a dream--"

"No." Before he could even finish what he was saying, Luka was shut up by Ana.

"Can I ask what are you doing here?"

"Waking you up."

"Can I ask why you are waking me up?"

"Because I love you."

'Hey, that's cheating!'

"Hearing 'I love you' from you as soon as I wake up, am I doing to die soon?"

Ana pulled Luka's hand and sat him up. "Don't talk about dying, please."

"It's already 11; wake up," she added.

"Yeah, I am up." Luka got up from the bed and stretched his body.

His gaze then fell on Ana's hand, 'Huh?'

Ana was wearing a bracelet on her left hand.

'It's not the one I gave.' Luka noticed the bracelet and glanced at Ana. "Hey, Ana, that bracelet..."

Ana touched the bracelet. "I got it as a gift."

'Gift?'

"From whom?" Luka asked.

Ana turned around and walked to the door, and said with a smile on her face, "It's a secret."

"Come on, tell me."

"Find it out yourself." she left the room.

Luka went downstairs and ate breakfast, then took a bath. He was lazying on the couch.

"Luka? You are not going to Ana's house?" Luka's mom asked.

"Huh?"

"Ana came to call you for that, right?"

"No...?"

"She didn't say anything to you?"

"No...." Luka then pondered. 'Why did she come, though? She just woke me up and then left. Why would she do that? She said she came to wake me up because she loves me.' Luka stopped pondering after that thought.

"Ana said Irene wanted to talk about something to you, and that's why she came to get you, but you were still sleeping, so I sent her to your room."

Luka stood up with a broken heart and walked out of the house.

'Liar. 'Because I love you, my ass! '

Luka walked into Ana's house without knocking. "Oh, Luka, you are here." Irene, Ana's mother, greeted him.

"Hey, aunt."

"You can call me mom."

"Okay, mom."

"Mom! You shut up," Ana roared and then looked at Luka, "And Luka, don't you dare to call my mother mom."

"My, why so angry? You will marry him in the future, so it's okay, right?" Irene teased.

"It's not decided yet."

'Not decided? Yet?' Luka wanted to pass some comments, but he chose not to prove an angry dragon.

"Well anyway, make yourself at home. I will bring something to drink." Irene welcomed Luka.

"No, it's fine."

"Now, now, don't be shy."

"No, really... I am full." Luka politely rejected.

"Geez, mom."

Luka sat on the sofa and glanced around. "Same as always, huh?"

Ana was sitting right in front of him. "Yeah"

"So..." Luka glanced at Irene. "What did you wanted to...?"

"Oh! Yeah, don't worry about it. It's already taken care of." Irene stated.

"..."

"Mom wanted to deliver something at dad's, so she called you, but Joseph insisted on delivering it, so..." Ana explained.

"Oh!" Luka clicked his tongue. 'That chiby!'

Luka stood and started walking in the direction of the stairs.

"Hey, where are you going?" Ana stood up after Luka.

Luka turned to Ana and answered, "Your room."

"Like hell, I will let you go in my room."

"You come in my room every time, so what's wrong if I go in your room for once?"

"It's different for girls."

'She is acting suspicious.'

"I am going." Luka turned around and walked up the stairs.

"Don't you dare!"

"I will dare."

"If you go, then..."

"Then?" Luka stopped and looked back at Ana.

"Then I will break up with... you."

"Break up? We are not going out in the first place."

'But still, she doesn't want me to go in her room. It's like she is hiding something, so I will definitely go.' Luka dashed into Ana's room.

Her room was a total mess. There were clothes including underwear, books including the magazines, and some other stuff lying on the floor.

"Luka, you idiot!" Ana yelled as she entered the room.

"It's not my fault." Luka looked at Ana, then glanced around. "You were acting so suspicious, so I thought you were hiding some...thing." He stopped when his gaze fell at Ana's desk.

Luka walked to the desk and asked, "What is that?"

There was a rectangular box on her desk with the gift wrapper wrapped around it, but the gift was opened as if someone had opened it recently.

"This bracelet..." Luka glanced at Ana's hand, or rather at the bracelet she was wearing, then looked at the opened gift and questioned, "Was from this gift?"

"Yeah, so what?"

'This box and the gift wrapper is the same as the gift Tero had that day' Luka bit his lips and clenched his fists. "I see, so that's what's going on."

"Huh?"

"You said, 'It's a secret and 'Find it out yourself.'. Do you like this gift that much?"

"Yeah, I like it."

"You never wore the necklace I gave you, but you wore this thing."

"What are you so angry about?"

"Why don't you date him then?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Tero; you like him, right? You always talk to him on our missions, and you even wore his gift. If you like him that much, then why don't you date him?"

"You idiot!" Ana slapped Luka. "Do you even hear what you are saying? How could you say something like that even though I love you?" she questioned.

"Then why are you wearing his gift?"

"Who said Tero gave me this gift?"

"I saw it. He had the same gift like this."

"He didn't give me any gift. And why would he even give me a gift?"

"Then what is this?" Luka grabbed Ana's hand and pointed his gaze at the bracelet.

"Lily gave me this gift on my birthday. I put it in my closet and forgot to open it. Today, when I was cleaning the closet, I found it, and when I opened it, it was a bracelet. I liked it, so I wore it" Ana had no idea what Luka was talking about.

This all was just a misunderstanding. Clothes, books, and magazines were lying on the floor because Ana was cleaning her closet.

"And about Tero, I just wanted to make you a little jealous because you look cute when you are jealous, but right now, you are not cute at all."
