1119 Words
After an hour of resting...
I wake up feeling really dehydrated... I turn to the right and see Mashura sleeping face. She's sleeping gracefully... Her breathing is really steady. Just from that alone says to me that she's not that tired...
Holy hell... Have you really train for hours and hours without much rest and then with only an hour of sleep and you already recover...
Haaah... The woman that I love is really strong huh... Really respectable in my opinion... Anyway... She's really holding on to me... I can't break free... But I want to eat and drink!!!
"Nngggh... Mashura... Can you let go of me? I'm really thirsty and hungry..."
"... M'kay."
Oh... And with that, she let go of me by taking away her arms that's on top of me and then I quickly stand up...
It's dark in this room huh... I never knew how dark it could be. Because I never sleep with the lights off... I prefer to sleep with lights on because I'm always alone... I just imagine there's something that's there with me...
And it creeps me out... But now... I don't really have problem because I know that I'm with someone...
Anyway... I immediately go to the Dining Room... I drink a lot of water and then grab some snacks from the table... And then, I bring it back straight to the bedroom...
The snack that was provided for us is a replacement for our lunch. Dinner is still being made. The scheduled Dinner is not going to go to waste because I'm awake to wake Mashura up...
Our snacks today is just beef that was cut to a couple centimeters thick that was covered with a spicy peanut sauce...
I snatch a couple of beef before I wipe my fingers with some tissue... I look at Mashura. She's sleeping with no defense... I can imagine that Mashura always the type of woman that sleep with things in her mind. Will she get attacked? Will thief broke in her house?
She's on constant guard... But with me... She has little to no defense... It's honestly an honor for me that she trust me that much... She's not sleeping without defense because we're in Rhea Absolut... She does that. Because she's with me...
"Well fact is... I'm always waking up first..."
I muttered that softly... I smiled when I see her face... For some reason... My hand move toward her cheek and I started caressing her cheek...
"Hhnnnn..."
Mashura let out a really cute noise... I move my hand from her cheek to her hair... Truth be told... Her hair is really pretty... It's short... But not that short... It's not as short as average male. But it's short than usual female...
After doing all of that unusual stuff... I quickly grasp my sanity back and then continue eating my snack...
It's not that embarrassing for me to caress her cheek and hair... Because she's not awake...
"Fuuh... It's really has been a long time since I do this huh..."
I also can't believe what I've just done... I don't have the courage to do that to anyone. Touching their cheek and hair...
I can't even start a proper conversation with normal people! I can only start conversation with workers of some kind! With other normal people that's trying to have a normal conversation... I can't do it... I'm too scared and embarrassed about what's going to happen.
Rejection is what I'm scared off...
But for some reason. After remembering Mashura... I didn't think much to do things to her... Maybe our relationship not a normal friend anymore... We're something special... Well, clearly I'm someone special for her and she's someone special for me...
Shuuush! Let's include her in this conversation.
I look at the table and for god sake! It's already 1 AM! It's already the next day... Holy shit.. Dinner... I forgot about those!
Well, I guess now it's considered as Snack...
"Mashura. Wake up... Let's eat some snack!"
I've been talking to myself all this time. I'm too captivated to Mashura... Anything I think about relates straight back at her... I love Mashura... Is it a First Love situation? I think not. Because I feel like I already love her when we're little. And then, I forgot about her and that means that I forgot about Love.
And now, it's not a first love anymore... It's just an Old Love coming back to me...
"Hnnngggh.... Alfredo? What time is it?"
"It's 1 AM. Let's go eat. You haven't eaten anything since Breakfast right? I already have a snack at 8 PM..."
"... It's been that long since you woken up? Why didn't you wake me up then? I too, want to eat!"
Mashura get a bit upset that I didn't wake her up when I wake up... Hey... You're sleeping quietly... I feel like you're having a nice dream. So rather than waking you up. I just enjoy my time...
Well, truth be told, I'm captivated by your beauty to the point I forgot about the time...
"Let's not waste any time Mashura. Let's eat and then we can continue sleeping."
"... You promise me you're going to sleep?"
Mashura eyes turn cold... Eh? W-What's going on? Y-You're not going to smack me right? Stop it. I don't want to get hurt!
"Y-Yes! I won't be going anywhere! I will be sleeping!"
"Good then. You can continue working on your project in the morning!"
Mashura face light up when she said that... Now that I think about it... It makes sense... I do need to rest since my brain is fried...
"If you break your promise and go to finish your project... I will be really mad. And the next morning... I will be making you face me in a spar from morning till evening. You hear me?"
I chuckle...
"Don't worry. You don't need to even threatened me... Because tomorrow, I will be joining you on training. You can spar me if you want. But if you promise me you won't break any of my bone. Hurting me is okay, but to a certain extend. Don't incapacitate me in any way that I need recovery for a long time."
I want to join her training. I need to sharpened my movement more... Because when I can link to her Infinity. It gives her more choices that she can choose. But also... I want to give her the Sword...
Her face light up and then she hug me tight.
"Okay then! Let's go tomorrow!"
I pat her head and then carry her on my back... She continue hugging me while I carry her down to the Dining Room...
