Chapter 38 - Back

*A few hours before the sleepover*

Himu's body had almost lost its soul when Alma said that she would send the photo to Grandfather Carl too, but only after she told him that she was just teasing him and wouldn't actually send it to anyone, did he feel like his life was not in mortal danger.

He was sure that if Grandfather found out, he would send him back to the training, where he would have to work very hard, and he certainly did not like to work much.

During the next hour, he had been stuffed with the cake and various assortments. After which he was in Phyllis' room for the most part.

They would mostly play games that she wanted, but she would make sure to hug or kiss him randomly at least once every two-three minutes, not that Himu had a problem with that.

Even though she was two years younger than him, she was still about as tall as him and almost as attractive as his sister.

They kissed very passionately whenever Himu would correctly predict when she was about to kiss him.

After an intense session of kissing, they were both breathless and laying on the bed, Phyllis resting her head on his arm instead of the pillow.

"I love you, Himanshu." She said, with child-like innocence.

{Ah well, might as well be honest too.} Himu thought as he looked at her face and said, "I love you too Phi, but sometimes you make me want to kill you."

Phyllis giggled like a child at those words, "Dumb Himu," she said, as she closed her eyes and snuggled up to him, "kill me as many times as you want, just love me till you do."

Something melted inside Himu at that moment. Maybe it was the words, maybe it was how she acted because she felt safe and secure next to him, maybe it was the cute smile on her face, or maybe it was all of them, but something made him say, "Fine, I'll love you forever." and wrap his arms around her.

She hugged him even closer and tighter, which made it kind of difficult for Himu to breathe for various reasons.

"Umm... Phi-" He was stopped by a slight knocking at the door by Alma.

"It's time to go, Phyllis, get prepared! Also, make sure to clean Himanshu's face before you come out. The remover is in your drawer." She called out from outside the door.

"Sis, I'm not wearing any lipstick, don't worry." She said back as she stood up from the bed before giving him another short kiss.

(You know the rest)

The next day, Himu woke up at 6 a.m. to make sure Phyllis won't see him leaving.

Sure, he loved her, but that didn't mean being kissed in public was any easier. For him, the public was anyone other than the two of them.

Also, if Grandfather saw him, he'd be gone, literally.

Then he saw Swara coming out of her room, yawning loudly.

He waved to her to come to him, and when she did, he asked her in a low voice, "Is Phyllis still sleeping? She didn't wake up, right?"

She looked at him with a blank expression, paused, and then scoffed, "Good morning to you too Himu bro. You can look for the whereabouts of Phyllis by yourself."

He looked inside the room, completely ignoring Swara's irritated tone, and saw that Phyllis was going to the toilet.

{Okay, I'm in trouble. It'll take me at the very least 10 minutes to get ready and get out of this place. If she decides to look for me or wait for me in any good place in the whole house, she'll start again, and I'll have to take her anywhere I'm going.}

Himu went back inside his room and locked it from the inside, thinking about what he should do.

As soon as he sat back on the bed to think, he jumped up in happiness. The solution was very simple. He just had to go to the game world.

It's not like she could come there, she didn't have a headset, and neither could she remove the headset from him, if she were to do that, it would probably harm him and she would completely certain not do something that would harm him, at least directly.

So he messaged Gagan and Swara that he would be playing the game.

He set up everything, and then unlocked the door, he didn't even check if Phyllis was waiting outside his door or not, which she was, and ran back to his bed and started the game before she could react.
