Chereads / Almos / Chapter 16 - Date

Chapter 16 - Date

Sixteen:

 

"It's a date."

 

Almos said it as if it's so simply, while my heart cannot settle from the thought of dating him in an open space, really?! It made me so speechless!

 

"…" I was about to say something when I notice from a far that I saw someone that looks familiar to me so without a word I quickly hold his hand and run away to hide.

 

"Hold on! What are you doing?" I heard him asked but I just ignore him and look for a place to hide.

 

"Here!" I said and quickly pushed him through the corner and when we're settled I peek out to see if we found the right place to hide away from the public eyes. When I'm sure we're save only then I finally feel at ease.

 

"What's the meaning of this?" I heard him asked and I just only realize the wrong move I've done.

 

When I look up to him, I finally realize I pinned him through the wall and our body was too close but I couldn't move away since the place that I choose is too narrow to move back. That makes his breath touch my skin and it makes my heart beats so fast I can even hear its thump.

 

"I…" I don't know what to say as his eyes focus on me.

 

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

 

"What?!" I surprisingly answered. "No!"

 

"Then what is this?"

 

"I… I saw an acquaintance so… this happened." I explained though.

 

"Is that so…" he replied as if he doesn't believe it that made me mad and I slap him through his chest. "What!" he surprisingly asked.

 

"You…!" I'm speechless.

 

"What was that for?"

 

"What?"

 

"That slap?"

 

Oh, yeah! That 'slap' and I wanted to hit him one more time. "Because you deserve it!" I said and slap him again as what I wanted to.

 

"Ouch!" he reacted as I move out of him.

 

"Alright! I'll go home." I said and was about to leave when he grabs my hand tightly, I can feel his warmth all over my body and even if I try to take away my hand off of him, he holds it much tighter. "Wh-what?!" I nervously asked him and almost holding my breath.

 

"This is our first date." He spoke of it as if it's so normal.

 

While my heart couldn't take it anymore because of the extreme nervousness I am feeling and I didn't even notice that I was able to wake up myself, leaving him alone to our supposed to be… 'Date'?

 

 

"What the f@ck!" the first words I speak out loud as soon as I wake up.

 

Fortunately and luckily, I'm alone at home because my parents and my siblings left me behind to visit our grandparents. I was left because I had to finish a group project that we need to submit on Monday.

 

Yet, I'm not sure if I can still focus on it because I never expected to have that kind of dream.

 

'Date?!'

 

Is he kidding me?!

 

I close my eyes tightly before I begin to move out of my bed and start my day without even thinking of him. Though, I have a doubt if I can truly be able not to think of him.

 

 

"Hey! Are you okay?" Claire asked me that made me stop my doings.

 

"Yes. I'm okay. Why?"

 

"You…" she deliberately looks around me. "Took all the works all by yourself."

 

That is the only time I finally noticed she was telling the truth, because as I look down. I really took all the works that's intended to be a group project.

 

"What's your problem?" Rina worriedly asked me.

 

"Nothing."

 

"Then, is it still a group project or not?"

 

"Yes. Sorry." I quickly answered.

 

"Are you alright?" Rina worriedly asked again.

 

I just take a very deep breath as I stop and look at them.

 

"I think I need some breather?" I decided as I stand up and walk out for a while.

 

I don't know but all my frustration was put on to our group project. Now, I think I get really tired of it, especially my hands, its freaking tired. And yet, I still remember 'Almos' that keeps popping out of my mind.

 

"Found you."

 

'I even heard his voice, what is wrong with me? Am I going crazy?' I tightly close my eyes when once again I heard his voice.

 

"Are you going to keep ignoring me?"

 

"What the!" I quickly turned around only to be surprise seeing… "Almos?" I surprisingly answered with my eyes wide open. "Wh-what are you doing here?!" I stammered yet I still managed to quickly look around and I feel at ease when I assure that no one is around.

 

"To meet you."

 

"What?! Why?!"

 

"Because you left me so suddenly that I--"

 

"Stop!" I cut him off. "I left you? How did I do that?" I asked almost to myself.

 

Almos gets closer and said. "I don't know how did you control your power right at that moment but you truly used it just to avoid me, that I'm surprised."

 

"Sorry." I replied before he vanished or rather I let him vanished without me not knowing how I did that. I just simply want him to get lost.

 

"Anne!" Claire suddenly came and I quickly turned to her in surprised and quickly grab her shoulder to pull her away.

 

"Hey! What is going on with you?"

 

"Nothing! I just wanted to continue our project." I answered as we go back inside her house.

 

"But we already decided to continue it by tomorrow."

 

"Huh!" I stop as soon as I heard it. "But why?"

 

"Because it's already late…" she answered. "And besides, you look tired, so get some rest and we will continue by tomorrow and another thing. You've already done much which is why we only have few more work to do so, go home now okay?"

 

No! Because that was the last thing I don't want to do.
