Degg. . . my heart almost fell out. Niko suddenly came and took my hand and kissed me on the forehead. Since when did Niko become like this? His sweet demeanor made me feel awkward. But, I admit, I'm very happy with Niko's change of attitude that is so sweet to me.
I was frozen in place for a moment. As soon as Niko uttered the sentence of wanting to learn to love me, I was again dumbfounded and confused by his attitude today. After saying that sentence, Niko left.
As Niko's car drove away, I pinched my cheeks several times and ruffled my own hair until the people looking at me looked at me sarcastically.
"Aishh, realize Nadia, Niko is being nice to you because he has a burden of responsibility towards you. Don't misinterpret her sweetness with you. Aishh, that sucks!" I shouted, getting into the car and rushing off to go home.
However, from quite a distance, there was a pair of eyes that were watching my car. I myself had actually felt it since I was at the cafe. There seemed to be someone who kept watching our table. But, I didn't know who it was and didn't really care.
Arriving home, it turned out that Niko had also just arrived home and got out of her car. I just smiled gently at Niko and opened the door. Unfortunately, my hands and Niko's touched again when we opened the door. This made us misbehave again and it seemed that Niko invited me to enter first.
"Ladies first?"
"Yes," I replied nervously, "I'll take a shower first," I said as I went to get a towel.
Niko nodded and it looked like he was also getting ready to shower and quickly grabbed his towel. As I left the bathroom, I bumped into Niko again at the door. And, it made us look at each other. I tried to divert and walk to Niko's left side, but she seemed to follow my direction by going to the left side as well.
When I took the right side path, Niko again followed my footsteps. This time, I paused and let her take the first step back because it made things awkward.
After showering and getting dressed, I grabbed some water from the kitchen. It was already 8pm, but for some reason I was starting to feel sleepy and I bumped into Niko again. Apparently, he was also about to get some drinking water.
"Is this house cramped or are we accidentally doing the same thing all the time?" I said, opening my voice.
"I don't know, it seems to be cramped," he replied, scratching his head. "Hmm, let's watch a movie, shall we?"
"Sure."
With a fairly awkward atmosphere, we both immediately headed for the TV room with nervous feelings. Because we were confused about what to watch, we finally decided to watch an action movie.
We sat far apart from each other. I clenched my hands nervously. Tonight's viewing atmosphere was quite quiet. I wasn't sure where to start the conversation because neither of us wanted to open our voices first.
"Nad?" called Niko, which surprised me.
"Yes?" I shouted unconsciously.
Hearing my shout, Niko immediately laughed. I was embarrassed by my awkward behavior.
"How about changing to a horror movie?"
I nodded and immediately changed the movie. Watching all night and focusing too much on the movie, I didn't realize that Niko was fast asleep on the sofa. Seeing Niko asleep, I decided to turn off the TV.
For a while, I looked at Niko who was sleeping so soundly. His sleeping face looked like a child's. It was really adorable. Not wanting to disturb his sleep, I decided to get a blanket from the room. However, Niko suddenly pulled my body, causing me to fall down and fall asleep on the sofa.
Niko started hugging me until I was again surprised by her behavior this time.
"Let me stay like this for 10 minutes. You don't mind, do you?"
I nodded. Niko closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Seeing Niko at this distance made me very nervous. I ventured to hold her face slowly. I also began to caress her hair lovingly.
"Good night, Niko."
Time rolled by so fast, I didn't realize that I had slept on the sofa with Niko all night. In fact, when I opened my eyes, I was so surprised that I had slept all night in the living room that there was a blanket wrapped around my body.
"Did you sleep well?" asked Niko who had just come out of the bathroom.
"I slept here?" I asked confused.
"I tried to wake you up. But, you slept so well that I couldn't bear to wake you up. Anyway, go take a shower! You have morning classes, right?"
I nodded and rushed to the bathroom. After we finished showering and putting on makeup, we had breakfast together with the breakfast that Niko had prepared earlier.
After breakfast, Niko and I rushed to the campus. While in the car, I saw Niko massaging her shoulder with her right hand. I think it was because he had been sleeping on the sofa all night, so he was massaging his sore shoulder.
"What's wrong with you, Nik?" I asked as Niko massaged his shoulder while holding the steering wheel.
"It's nothing, just sore."
"Want me to give you a massage?"
Niko shook his head. He just smiled slightly as he placed his long, muscular hands on my head. Arriving at the campus, Niko and I went straight to our respective classes.
However, before leaving, Niko turned her body around and suddenly kissed my forehead again, leaving me dumbfounded for a while and not blinking my eyes because I was so surprised by Niko's attitude.
"See you back home later," Niko said softly and then left, leaving me frozen in place.
I stared at Niko's departure. For a few seconds I tried to catch my breath. I still looked shocked by Niko's attitude who suddenly kissed my forehead like that. This was completely unexpected and I still couldn't believe Niko could behave like that.
For some reason, it felt like my heart was beating so fast. I was so happy that it made me smile to myself. My heart really felt like it was about to burst out of my body. I was so happy that I accidentally bumped into someone when I turned around, causing me to fall to the floor.
