Chereads / Just Let Me Sleep / Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

She took out her phone and played a random song. After one song ended, she finally calmed down and decided to go back to the class. It's almost ended but she can't just leave like that.

When she went out, she bumped into someone. Before she can fall, someone grabbed her hand and helped her.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking." she apologized.

She wanted to leave after apologizing but the other party doesn't let go of her hand yet, she looked up to see a handsome face.

Yes, handsome. This description fits him the most. There's only one thing crossed in Adel's mind when she saw his face 'Why is he here?'

She can only blankly look at him, even if he doesn't let go of her hand, she wouldn't mind. This face, if it's the same voice... Then I'm afraid I did rather stuck in this dream.

He opened his mouth and said "Are you okay?"

Countless dream, hope and imagination became real in front of her. This guy was once her biggest dream and wishes that she could never realize. She knows that it's impossible but right now it seems possible.

She heard him laugh and it made her snaps out of her thought "Why are you looking at me surprisingly like that? I just saw that you ran so fast here with such a pale face, teacher told me to look for you to make sure you are fine."

Adel covered her face to calm herself down then took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I wasn't myself just now. Thank you, but I'm okay."

"I see. Then we should go back, do you need my help? You look pale." he asked worriedly.

"N-No, it's okay I can go back myself. I need to calm myself down a bit, you can go first."

Just kidding, she is very calm right now but if she go with him. Her heart might burst.

He nodded at her answer and left. Looking at that, she sighed. 'Even if I'm close to him now, it's still the same, he won't look at me for a second time.' After seeing that he's far enough, she went to the class.

When she's back the teacher asked about her condition and many other things. She only said that there's nothing much just nausea and told him not to worry much. After that, he dismissed everyone and told them they can go home.

Since she's too weak to walk home now, she sat on the nearest seat to recover herself. When she sat, she closed her eyes for a while.

She doesn't notice that someone else came to her side and sat down as well. She fell asleep unknowningly while the person beside her took of his jacket and covered her.

An hour later, she woke up dizzyingly and feel that there's something on her body. She touched it and looked to the side. And she is in daze again.

As if noticed someone was looking at him, the man who was originally asleep, opened his eyes and looked at her. "Wake up?"

She can only nod and said weakly "Yes... Why are you... here?"

He laughed and handed over a water to her and took the jacket from her body before wearing it again. Adel took the water and opened it before drinking it, totally not suspicious of him at all. The trust that has been build over the time can't really lie.

"Are you not afraid that I put something in that?"

Only by then she realized and stopped halfway. He saw that movement and laughed out loud. "Hahahah... I'm just kidding, I don't put anything, you can rest assured."

Adel was embarassed for a while before finishing the drink and handed it back to him. "Not funny."

"I'm sorry. I saw that you went here and sat down, I wanted to say something but who knows you fell asleep instead. You need to take care of yourself more, it's not safe to randomly sleep."

"I know. I'm trying to not to."

It's indeed a bad habit. Who would say it's good to sleep there and there without worry except for having someone you trust near you? She needs to fix this habit soon or else there might be something bad happen to her. If it's not because he's guarding on the side, she might be laying somewhere else now.
