bapa: indefatigable love

Bapa: chapter 22 (Ignore)

Chapa POV:

I'm opening my eyes and then I realize I'm literally buried into Bose's bare stomach. His body is so warm and soft. I hate being this close to people, but Bose is my only exception. He is still sleeping. He's always sleeping when I wake up. But I have to say I do wake up early... most of the time I'm awake at 8 AM. He wakes up at 10 AM, sometimes even at 11.

I grab his phone and see it's now 9:30 AM. I slept a lot compared to the other days. I guess I was really tired. I unlock his phone and go straight to Subway Surfers. I love this game so much.

After 20 minutes, Bose wakes up.
"Chapa?" he says with confusion and a sleepy voice.

"Bose?" I say back the same way he said it. He sighs. I just love to annoy him.

"Are you seriously playing Subway Surfers?" he says and laughs with his deep, sleepy voice. It's so attractive.

"Yes." I say while focusing on the game.

"When will you have your own phone again princess? You said since the beginning it was broken and you brought it to the repair store to fix it. It has literally been like... 12 weeks?!" he says. I'm kinda nervous right now. I don't want to lie to him anymore. I think it's time to tell him what really happened. I put his phone down and I sigh.

"I have to tell you something." I say.

"Sounds serious." Bose says and smiles.

"It is." I say and don't smile back.

"My phone was never broken... It was stolen by a boy like 8 years ago. And my parents didn't care and literally treated me like shit so that's why I left home." I explain, hoping he won't get mad at me. His eyes widen.

He looks at me quietly for 6 seconds and then softly says: "Why did you never tell me this?"

"I didn't want to make a big deal out of it." I say.

"What? It is a big deal. You really should've told me this." he says.

"I know." I say.

"But... if you left home when it got stolen, for how long have you been living in that old house?" he asks with worried eyes.

"For like 6-7 years." I say.

"What the-" he says with disbelief.

"Yeah I'm sorry for not telling you earlier." I say. Bose doesn't say a word. He's pale right now.

"Hey what's up? Are you alright?" I ask.

"Yeah, thanks." he says.

Later when Bose and I are walking together towards the grocery store to get our breakfast, he says:
"I can buy you a new phone if you want?"

"No!" I say with an annoyed loud voice, I stop walking and he stops too. "I mean no, sorry, I don't want a new phone, I want my old phone." I say.

"I didn't know you were so sensitive about all of this." he says carefully.

"My phone was the only thing I've ever had. My family was never there for me, I never had real friends, they were all shitty people. So yeah I'm very sensitive about it because my phone was everything to me." I say. I try not to sound aggressive, I'm saying it in an annoyed way.

"So now I'm your new family?" Bose asks and smiles.

"This isn't funny Bose."
I punch him on his arm - not too harsh - and give him a dirty look.

"I know," he laughs a little. "But I think it's cute you only have me right now, it makes me feel special." he grins. This bitch.

"It's not like you got anyone else besides me." I say.
