Chapter 35: Safe with you

Engfa's POV

As we were gaping out of the air, I stared deeply into her eyes and slowly took in what just happened between Char and me because I was not used to the feeling. In return, Char grazed my face carefully, making me look like a porcelain doll. 

I turned my head away because I still couldn't believe that I had kissed my best friend and that I liked her not as a friend but rather as a partner. Right then, she asked me with her baby voice, making me feel sorts of feelings, "Fa...are you...shy?"

At this point, my face reddens because I didn't see this side of her ever throughout the time I have known her. I knew some people, including me, might think it was weird to feel things toward a person of the same gender as you, but it's possible even just by her voice. My heart was frantically giggling at me for trying to suppress the emotion already built inside me. 

On the contrary, Char behaves normally, except that she's making her way to the door. Unsure of what she would do, I watched her every movement until I saw her close the door and lock it. 

With an innocent look she put on her face, she walked towards me and told me to scoot over so she could join me on the bed. "Emm...what are you doing?" I questioned her for invading my bed. 

"Let me sleep with you...I am so tired," She cuddled me straight away and nuzzled her head on my neck. Now, I could barely move because her body was glued onto mine. I didn't feel embarrassed that she did this. Rather, she put my heart at ease, knowing she would be here when I woke up. 

Seeing Char on the same bed as I had made me question if I was dreaming because I still couldn't believe that this wasn't a dream. 

...

The next morning, a knock woke us both and startled us. So, Char rushed to unlock the door and let the nurse in. Trying not to be obvious that she had just slept on the hospital bed with me, she struggled to organize her messed clothes due to the sleeping. 

It was at that moment I knew that I fell harder for her even more. Not paying attention to what the nurse said, my eyes betrayed me, and I paid attention to Char instead. It's over. I am looking at her so that she can give me some love. Since when have I become so needy?

I never had this issue before during my previous relationships. Getting my exes' attention means nothing to me, but with her, it's everything, as if my heart was hypnotized just by her gaze. 

Soon enough, the nurse waved her hand in front of my face as she realized that I was not paying attention to her. "Ms Engfa, are you okay?" She asked me to ensure that I am not having a relapse. 

"Yeah 3x, I am fine. I am sorry. What were you saying just now?" I tried to concentrate.

The nurse then explained that I could get discharged this morning, and I had never been happier that I could finally go home. Not to mention, with Char, whether she wanted it or not, it's not up for debate cause I am going to be a clingy person now. 

...

As we were in the car, I wondered where we were going because, judging from the road, it was not on the way to my house. Snooping around to find the answer, I asked Char, "Where are we going?" 

"We are going to my house. I am not letting you stay at your home alone," She continued saying with her endearing tone, "Let me take care of my love ones."

If only I could shout what I felt at that moment, I would probably be embarrassed because of how loud it would be. When she put it that way, my body jolted in glee like a child. 

Did my brain malfunction while I fainted on the ground? Cause what's wrong with me?

I never stopped smiling for hours now, and Char was solely the reason why. I am scared now to see the power she has in me that could make me act unusually happy. 

And then, when I thought I could finally put an end to myself from smiling from ear to ear,  she intertwined her hand with mine and pulled them closer to her thigh. OKAY, THAT'S IT, WOMAN!

Uwu, someone couldn't take it...😂😂 Again, please listen to the song below. It's one of my all-time favourite songs, and I would say it describes what Engfa felt during this specific moment.
