The first thing I need to do is apply 10 points to stamina increasing it from 17 to 27, my endurance was very low, no wonder I got tired easily, and tomorrow Fodel will be training me. I have a feeling that he will trash my ass for hours. My body shook involuntarily at the thought, I also applied 5 points to strength and the last five remaining I applied it to agility.
My stats now looked like this
Level : 5
Strength : 25
Agility : 30
Stamina : 27
Constitution : 38
Intelligence : 40
"I definitely need a shower." I muttered while sniffing my armpits.
After getting refreshed in the cold shower I instantly threw myself at the bed.
The bed was too soft to be true. I slowly shut my eyes.
*Knock *knock *Knock
Who ever was at the door finally had the courage to knock, my heightened senses picked up footsteps at the door a while ago.
I swang the door while yawning.
My heart almost leaped out of my chest as I stared at Layla with wide eyes.
She kept fidgeting with her fingers and averting my gaze multiple times.
The purple slip she was wearing made her look like a seductress, her big pecky boobs outstretched the fabric, I could see her nipples pointing directly at me. The slip was so small that I could see her panties when she moved, I couldn't stop gazing at her voluptuous curves.
"Stop staring." She whisperd in a cute expression while looking at the floor.
I lifted her chin with my finger, revealing her radiant adorable face.
"What are you doing at this hour?"
"Um, I don't want to sleep alone, the past events are making me paranoid, I'm scared." she shuddered.
I told her I don't mind, she slowly walked inside the room, her bosom bouncing on every step, when I stared at her plump ass swaying left and right, heat immediately rose from my groins.
I acted as if everything was normal and slept next to her.
"Ain't you going to sleep?" I raised my eyebrow.
It took time for her to finally reply.
"Um, you will sleep on the floor I will sleep on the bed."
I woke up from the bed and smirked at her. "As if I would do such a thing when they is a fluffy bed next to me, you will sleep here in my embrace right." I grinned.
"No no no way, you will do lewd things to me."
I moved closer and groped her soft thigh, she jerked away from my grasp.
"See what I'm talking about." She sneered
"How about I make you my girlfriend then? You know I'm still waiting."
Layla was taken aback a year ago when Kean confessed his feelings but she told him to wait a little longer, she was indecisive because her friend fell in love with her childhood friend and their relationship didn't end well, she was afraid the same thing may happen to her.
She stared at Kean who's gaze was also on her, or I should say her boobs to be precise.
"These past weeks have been hectic and today, falling from the water fall, getting chased and Alice, it's just too exhausting you know."
I stood and grasped both her tender hands.
"You always gave me excuses before all this chaos started, now we live in a world where something unexpected always occur, we learn to always expect the unexpected, the events that take place shouldn't make us postpone our decisions, because they will continue circulating in a never ending circle."
"But."
I instantly cut her.
"Layla you are the best friend I could have ever asked for, you are gorgeous, kind hearted, and you always see the good in people. You have helped me in so many ways, just being around you fills my heart with joy. I don't want to be just your best friend, I love you Layla. More than anything.
My gaze blazed with passion as I stared into hers.
"I- I- I." Layla's heart was sent in bliss that her brain couldn't process anything, this was the third time Kean confessed to her but everytime she heard him say those three words her heart couldn't take it.
"This will intoxicate our friendship Kean, I'm afraid we may end up not being able to be friends if things don't go well."
"I know you love me too, we are fated to be together."
Tears filled her eyes. "Just a little more time I promise to-
"You know what, a clear rejection is better than a fake promise."
Kean instantly went to bed and faced the opposite direction.
Layla slowly crept in the bed, she didn't even bother covering herself, her heart pained so much as she sobbed quietly.
'I know he's different, my mom is wrong.' She thought recalling her mother telling her that boys will always be boys. She always teached her the gospel of all men are the same, her mother feard that her relationship with Kean will go to high lengths and she will be broken by him just like her husband who didn't show up on their wedding day. Her mother's hatred for men was due to this.
On the other hand she thought of Kean who always protected her since at their tender age, in high school he even pretended to be her boyfriend so that the boys in school will stop approaching her and her locker will finally be free from hundreds of confession letters every day.
'After all he has done for me, I'm alive in this apocalypse because of Kean, and here I repay his kindness by breaking him.' Layla flooded with tears as her heart bled.
'I think I love him too, but I'm just indecisive. Kean always had patience, why did he look pissed today. And too emotional. Layla pondered for a while until her eyes lit up as she came to a resolve.
'How could I be so blind, he's angry because of what happened today, he probably confessed to me with the thought that mybe I will also die or vanish without him getting eccepted by me. Mybe I'm wrong, he has some other reasons but I know what to do now.'
Layla wiped her tears and slid under the sheets, she slowly moved closer until she touched Kean's back, she hugged him from behind.
"I know you are awake, I'm sorry for always throwing excuses because of my fear of something that may not even happen, I think I also like you, but I need a couple of days so I can sort my thoughts."
Kean shifted and faced her.
"You see what I'm talking about, it's always this and that."
He continued his blabbering until.
Layla gently stroked her face and kissed him, ending his endless whining.
She gently sucked on my lower lip passionately while while pulling me closer, I was thrown in daze that I couldn't even kiss her back. Her soft lips finally separated from mine ending the intimate kiss, she snuggled me closer, pushing my face in her bosom, I don't think the words to describe this softness existed in this era. Her sudden behavior made me unable to think properly.
"Stop whining, let's just remain like this." Layla whispered in a soft voice making my body ache for her love.
"Yeah I too agree."
I slid my hand over her lithe waist, we embraced each other
She kissed my forehead. "Goodnight."
