Warm, that's what I feel right now. Lighting ray of the sun that peeking a little has come to shining the whole world. I sit on the sofa, opening my book that I brought with me and read it with enjoyment. The breeze gushing, blowing the leaf and twigs, making a nice sound of nature in harmony.
"Latina,...."
"Hmm,...?"
I called her, but her response somehow always like that when she's focusing on something.
"You're kinda heavy you know,...."
"Wha-!"
All this time, when I reading something she will be with me. Also reading a book by my side but, rather than leaning to the sofa she's leaning towards me instead. It's not like she's interrupting my reading but, I always feels weird at what she's doing.
"How rude! For your information, I'm light as a cotton!"
"Hmm, I think I agree with you,"
She puzzled, it seems she's didn't expecting that I will agreeing with her and making a baffled expression.
"But you see, you feels like a bunch of wet cottons to me,"
"Wha-!"
She snapped again and punching me with her slender hand. Even though that punch didn't feel anything, it still annoying if she do it continuously.
This is our daily routine since I came to this house. We laughed together, bantering about something weird, and even teasing each other. Well even though the one that always teasing is me but this is what we do together.
It's barely a month, but it's feels like she is always my part of family in this world. Sometimes a strange feeling come, a tingling and sharp feeling that I always feel when she's out of my sight. It is anxious? I don't particularly know. Maybe deep down inside me, I don't want to lose someone that can be called family again.
Around mid of the day, I finished my reading. I fixing my posture and close the book at my hand.
"Latina,..."
"Hmm?"
"Want a little snack?"
Her eyes sparkling, with a haste she get up and dragged me to the kitchen.
It's just an easy and light snack in the middle of day and we enjoyed it with small talk.
The day after, when I woke up. In the bed that I was sleeping, there's a beautiful girl at my side. Yes, she is Latina. With a light single piece clothing, she's asleep soundly. It's bugging me at first why she's sleep with me even though many times I sleep on the sofa, at the end of the night I always wake up at bed with her. Is she always like this? Always sleeping with random people that barely know? Somehow I genuinely worried about her.
But right now I'm not care less, she's adorable in her sleep, warm, and it's make me at east. So I don't particularly mind if this become a routine either. Even if she has her own reason, I can't probe her because she's not probing my past either.
Like always, I wake up earlier than her, making breakfast as usual and read some book. But this time is different. After learned that there was a village nearby, I decided to goes there. Selling some potion that Latina's make and some scroll. When I asked her if we can sell those, she seems don't mind it even though what she sell is kinda high quality scroll.
Time to depart has come, with a cart on my back. I was getting ready for pulling it. When I thinking about the route, my mind suggested that I shouldn't do this. Goes down the hill, goes through the forest, and then finally I can rest at a village.
"Are you, sure?"
Latina coming from inside the house, asking me a question that's already known the answer.
"Of course,"
"....."
She's keep silent, until when I already starting to pull the cart she's make a quite and low sound.
"Make sure,...."
"Make sure you come back,...."
I turn my head around, looking at Latina with her medium silver hair. She's looking down, grabbing one of her arm.
I'm smiling, and then exhaled. Continuing my step to the village and then answered, "Of course, this is also my home afterall."
