CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8

I WAS HUFFING, catching my own breath as I ran hard. I don't know where I am, all I can see is a dark abandoned building. I don't know why am I here.

I ran as fast as I could but it was no used, I heard some growling noises, the noise of the falling leaves which blows cause of the wind.

My heart was beating so fast, I can also feel my legs shaking and wanted to give up. In any minute, my legs could turn into a jelly cause of nervousness and scared.

My legs are trembling so as my whole body. My eyes starting to watered, because of the darkness. I'm scared of darkness because I can feel that someone migjt watching over me.

"H-Hello? W-Who are you? W-Why are you being like this?"

I don't know what comes to my mind when I uttered those words. It feels natural when I spoke those words.

Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Yves and Xavy?

I clenched my fist to calm all my nerves, I'm still shaking... I don't know why did I felt like this.

I was startled when someone grabbed my hand, it was Xavy who's crying on the top of me. I also see Yves who's on the corner of the bed, looking at me intently but I didn't mind him.

It's a dream huh? But why does it felt so real.

I looked at Xavy's who's crying badly, "Why are you crying?"I asked him.

I gently put him into my side and sit near next to him.

I rubbed his eyes, his eyes were red and also his nose, "Because you didn't wake up when we tried to call you. You even started struggling and it seems you were in pain."

"Hmm... is that so? But I'm okay, it's just a dream."I assured him to make him stop crying.

He looked at me with his innocent face, "Is it that scary?"

I chuckled at his response, "Yeah but I'm okay since it's not true. Besides, there nothing to be afraid of since I have you, a cute little kid."

He grinned and chuckled when he heard what I've said, "Yes. I'm cute and adorable. If someone tries to harm you, I'll beat them to protect you."

He even tried to show his tiny little muscles which is his arms, he even show me his one abs, his stomach. I can't help but to laugh at his sudden gestures.

"Yes, yes."That's what all I can say.

I glance at Yves who became silent while still looking at me... intently.

I can't help but to asked him, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

He shrugged and looked away. He's acting weird. Well, whatever since he's weird from the day we met.

"By the way, what kind of dream did you experience? What is it all about?"He asked me directly making me looked at his direction.

"Why are you asking?"I asked him.

"Is it wrong to asked you since you were suffering in your dream?"He coldly replied.

"Lol, don't worry it's just a little nightmare and I kinda don't remember what happened next so whatever stays in dream weather it is a nightmare or not, it stays in dream."I said but he just stares at me without even blinking.

I can't help but to avert my eyes, "Stop staring at me."

I felt relieved when he avert his eyes, he really makes me uncomfortable. The kind of comfortable which can make my heart beats, not like a heartbat which I've experienced on my dream... this time it's different.

Wait... don't tell me that this is already love? It's still day two when I started living here for babysitting his son. Am I already falling in love?

No. No. No... It can't be, there must be wrong with my heart. Yeah, that's right it's just nothing.

I'm like a crazy girl who's been convincing myself that I'm not inlove with him. Well, I don't want to admit it. Yes, he makes my heart flutters like a crazy but it can't be that I'm in love.

Don't fuck with me! Like, what?! As I've saying earlier, it's still early for me to develop this kind of feelings.

Damn. I should prepare myself since were living together, and in the same bed but were not in a relationship.

Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this for Xavy nothing more, nothing less.

I was taken back when Xavy kisses my forehead and smiled, "Goodmorning, Mama."

I can't help but to smile also, I return his kisses by kissing him in both of his cheeks,"Good morning, adorable."

His smile can really melt all my fears. The sudden texture of emotion that I've felt earlier was disappeared when he smile.

I glanced at Yves and smiled at him, "Good morning, Sir—Yves."

If this man smiles, my heart would really pop off my chest that's why he's dangerous, he might kill me with his smile. That's why I conclude that he should better off not smiling, I might die.

I was about to stand up to get off onto the bed but Xavy stop me by grabbing my hand, I looked at him confusely why he stop me.

"You didn't kiss Papa, Mama. Give him also kisses, he might be lonely not receiving kisses in the morning."He pouted making me closed my eyes and slap lightling my forehead.

"My dear adorable, you Papa doesn't need a kiss besides he isn't lonely. Just looking at you makes him happy, now give you Papa a kiss."I sweetly said and he nodded and kissed his father on his cheeks, Yves also kissed his cheeks and forehead making Xavy chuckled.

Xavy looked at me, grinning ear to ear.

Uh-oh, I feel bad about this. I was about to run away when Xavy talked, "Mama, papa is lonely without receiving a kisses from you."

I sighed, "Xavy, you Papa isn't lonely."

"Look at Papa."

I glanced at Yves who was a little bit down which made me sneered. You've got to be kidding me?!

I looked at him in his eyes, 'Damn you! Why did you play along, stop using that lonely expression!' I said those words using my eyes but he didn't understand—no, he didn't just listen to me.

Damn.
