Chereads / Lilo / Chapter 9 - Awakened

Chapter 9 - Awakened

Lilo's eyes snapped open and she gasped.. she was fast asleep but then felt a pair of hands caressing her face.. at first she thought it was a dream but the hand lingered for too long and as she returned back to her consciousness she realized it wasn't a dream.

wh- what are you doing? she panicked as his face was an inch closer to her face she tried to push him away.. but it was like pushing a rock.. which was impossible

Jaden whose gaze was fixed on her didn't say a word instead he continued to stay in his fixed position admiring the girl. It has been so long since he saw her..

The ritual which he and his mother performed a decade ago didn't go completely well as it instead of removing all the pain.. it removed half of the pain she felt along with half of the good memories they both shared. she had forgotten him because the spell went wrong.

What happened.. why did she forget me? he asked confused

I do not know...I told you these spells are very dangerous and powerful to perform and might cause an after effect the only thankful thing is that she didn't die.. there's nothing I can do now son

"what do I do mother" he said with disappointment.

All you have to do is "wait" just a little longer and one day she will remember you, she consoled her son.

The spell Harriet performed had affected Lilo, it erased half of the good and bad memories and she was left with few memories.

What are you doing?? she murmured

In my room sitting on my bed.. uhm you called them fluffy, he teased

Why does he have to remind her that.. You're too close, she said with a whisper.

Am i ? he asked obliviously

Uh-huh obviously she replied trying to pull back.

Are you sure..? your head is saying something else, i mean you're comfortable "on my bed", he said pulling back.

"Excuse me" she glared at him.

Or are you not?

uh? how can I be comfortable.. with you so close, she murmured

Are you trying to say that I make you uncomfortable?

Y- yes..what have I been saying since.. she rolled her eyes.

Really? do I affect you? he coaxed her.

Yes yes.. uhm I mean No

why?

uh i- i didn't mean it in that way.. she replied

"Tell me in what way do i affect you"

You affect me in every way and I don't know why, she replied

"Now look at that, I didn't know I had an effect on my cute puppy"

uhm no-no... that came out so wrong.

I doubt.

No.. and please don't call me a puppy.

Why not? you're so cute and everything

But I'm not a puppy.. she said furrowing her eyebrows.

But you accept that you're cute, he teased her.

No I didn't..it just came out wrong, she narrowed her eyes at him.

That's was supposed to be a compliment he said with a grin.

That didn't sound like a compliment, she shook her head.

You obviously accepted that you are cute..

I didn't say that I was cute..

"And who said you said you were cute?" he teased.

Stop twisting words to your favour, she narrowed her eyes at him.

And who says I'm twisting words?

"Obviously you are" she rolled her eyes.

I didn't know I was a "twister of words" until I met you.. and for someone who is lending my bed I mean "my soft and fluffy mattress" did I get it right? he smirked and she gave him a sterning look, "you are very loud.. so noisy", he said.

[Why does he have to remind her of the soft and fluffy mattress.. so arrogant, always want to rub shits on her face]

Well i didn't know i was so loud and noisy until i met you, she replied annoyed and he laughed.

Hmm.. is that so.. you know I thought about throwing you out of the window two nights ago but i declined the thought.. if you want I can reconsider the idea, he said with a serious face looking into her eyes, he saw string of fear wandering around those beautiful eyes.

No no.. please don't, she begged [this man is evil.. how could he even think of such.. and how long has she been sleeping] she thought.

Uh--uhm she gulped, I - I uh[ no she won't allow this demon throw her out of the window, not after seeing that horrible creature, she shook her head]

You what?

I am sorry, please don't throw me out of the window she pleaded.

Yes..all you had to say was "thank you" he said.

[This man was insane, there was no compliments or so what if there was a compliment.. he is so pushy but this was not the time to exchange words with this demon] but then how did she have a change of clothes she thought to herself.

Th- thank you, she said

Good, you're such a good puppy, he said patting her head.

"Don't call me a puppy she wanted to say but she swallowed her words before this demon would throw her out of the window".

Why are you patting my head? she asked choosing her words carefully.

Because i want to, why? you don't like it?

[Why was he asking when he already know that she didn't like it..]

No, it's fine.

Good, he grinned and she grasped.

What's your name? he asked
