bapa: indefatigable love

Bapa: chapter 18 (Mika's Questions)

Bose POV:

Glerp runs away after what Chapa said and did to her. She's crying. I kinda feel bad for Glerp. I didn't know Chapa could be so jealous. Didn't people notice she was jealous? I hope they didn't.

"Chapa look at what you've done." I say but with a calm voice.

"Sorry but I honestly don't care." she shrugs. I roll with my eyes and walk up to Glerp. I hate to see people cry.

"Hey Glerp. Are you okay?" I ask.

"It's not like you would care." she says.

"Well if I didn't care, I wouldn't be here to ask you whether you're okay or not." I say. She looks at me and wipes away her tears.

"Thank you." she says.

"No problem." I smile.

"Can we still hang out today?" she asks with a pathetic voice.

"I think we can. But as friends." I say. I don't want to hurt Chapa or make her feel insecure about our relationship. But Glerp is broken right now and I can't leave her here with so much pain.

"That's fine. Thank you." Glerp says.

"Oh and why do I look older?" I ask.

"Because we embraced. When aliens like me embrace with humans. They will get older."

"And do you know how to undo this?" I ask.

"No." she says.

"It's fine Schwoz will figure something out." Miles says.

"Okay great." I say.

"What are we going to do?" Glerp says.

"We can drink something at Hip Hop Purée." I say.

"Yes please." she's still sobbing.

Chapa POV:

What the fuck? Did Bose just ask her out? He didn't mean it like a date and he probably only wanted to cheer her up. He's always so compassionate, and I respect that. But not when it comes down to Glerp or other girls who are literally trying to steal what's mine. I know it's not a date or anything romantic according to Bose, but to Glerp it is. I don't really care if he hangs out with other girls, but Glerp? She saw him for 3 seconds, immediately fell for him and told him how she felt.

I trust Bose but I don't trust her, and that's why I'm going to Hip Hop purée to spy on them this afternoon. Bose thought I was too harsh on her. I think she fucking deserved it.

Bose and Glerp are walking towards the tube. Bose turns around with his head and looks at me. He winks and smiles. I don't smile back. I can't take Bose serious at this moment. He looks like a weird 25 year old. I hope Schwoz can fix this. And I hope they won't embrace again. I don't want to kiss an old grandpa, hell no.

After 5 minutes I say: "Hey guys I gotta go sorry."

"Why?" Miles asks.

"None of your business." I say.

"You're not about to spy on Bose and Glerp, are you?" Mika says.

"I'm not." I have to make up an excuse and fast.
"I have to work, uh I have to babysit." I say.

"Babysit?" Miles asks with confusion.

"You hate children. Why would you babysit them?" Mika asks with curiosity.

"I need money." I say.

"Alright, fair enough." Miles says.
