Cupid's Portal

Part 8: It's Consistent

"Wake up now, your highness..." I heard her tender voice as I felt her hand stroking my hair yet I'm too lazy to get up. Besides, I'm into this moment. Let me cherish this longer...

Angel keeps on waking me up as she gave my shoulder a gentle nudge and keep on poking me. "Hmmm? It's too early... give me another five minutes." Mumbling, I cuddled her that made her chuckle as she caressed me. But not longer, she stopped and spoke, "Hey, wake up, cutie..."

"A moment more, please..." I pleaded as I hugged her a little tighter. "No, I'm hungry already, hmp. You'll cook..." she uttered and got up to sit while I just laughed as a response. So, she just woke me up therefore she could eat, how harsh. Amused, I get-up as well and grope for my glasses.

"It's really thick... is your eyes this bad? Mine hurt wearing this, it makes sight too blurry..." She stated that made me stop searching. "Yes... so if you mind, can I have my glasses now?" I said as I laid a hand towards her to receive. "Let me, please." She requested that I can't respond.

Angel approached nearer and started to fix my glasses gently on my eyes while I was stuck staring at her like a statue. I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach and my heart is racing once again. "Uhm..." I wonder why is she takes every chance to fix this binocular for me each morning ever since the first day.

"Yes? Did I put it wrong?" She responded. "N-no, it's perfectly fixed..." I answered that made her smile. "I'm just wondering why... you always do this every morning." I uttered and just bowed my head down as I wait for response. "It's been 4 months and you're still doing it consistently."

"Because I want to be the first thing you'll see every day." She stated as she moves closer. And to my surprise, she kissed me on my forehead. "O-oh..." been really astounded, I froze and got speechless while she moved away.

Angel stand off the bed and went downstairs. Meanwhile, I was left here stiffened as my brain was still loading what just happened. In a belated response, my manhood got triggered as it ejected something...

Eventually, I realized that isn't it I'm supposedly the one to kiss her that way? She's taking advantage of me! There I lost it and just unexplainably planted my face on the pillow. I can't accept for real that I'm the man but she's got the power. "Oh, my hated self, shut it..."

Having a hard time on pulling myself back together, I eventually find it to reality and decided to follow her downstairs. I managed to cook our breakfast as we started the day right. But while having our breakfast, I can't help it but to grouch on her about that semi-unacceptable forehead kiss.

"I'm supposed the only one to kiss the forehead of the other between us... don't repeat it please... I mean, not on the forehead, it hits ironic." I murmured that caused her been slightly choked by the food and laughed out loud. "Stop laughing, I'm serious."

She doesn't seem to stop on laughing that I spoke, "I'm in sulk right now, don't talk to me." Where she finally stopped and started on talking to me in a most placating tone she got. "Hey, come on... respond please?" she said while smiling as the poor me had eventually given up and we started on talking about something else.

Talking with Angel feels so good but it's way too hard to avoid slipping my tongue on telling her my real identities. So, I got extremely careful of my words. Might gonna make some script for next time... but at least not too bad for this condition somehow taught me to manage myself better on talking. And with the help of her, I gradually learned how to communicate confidently with someone.

Back then, I was an extreme introvert who just talked with at least three same people every day, or no, some days. I sometimes even stutter while talking for I'm feeling nervous every time I speak. But now, I realized something changes from the way upon letting my voice out.

Angel is just my opposite. She's an extrovert as what I have written on the petition letter. Glad I made myself write it down that time. I remember before how I laughed when I read about someone says that his partner is the sunshine of his life. I just found it cheesy, but now I think I can relate with him. She was so warm and friendly, a perfect sunshine. Her presence is cozy, and she can relate to everything. Unlike me, I have no one to relate with, but not until I met her.

As the days pass, we are learning from each other and I'm so happy with it. But it was sad to think that we have only two months remaining together. Things will be forced to end after. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Uh yeah, don't mind me..." I answered as I throw a smile. She looked at me confusingly but didn't say a word for any more. She just continued the topic while I get rid of the thoughts that bothering me. I just have it to cherish the remaining months with her and stop thinking about how it will end.

After eating, she feed Shadow and Snow. I can't help myself but to stare at how lovely she is. Suddenly, she caught me staring and she just smiled. Oh, I'm not gonna admit it but, I'm lost in her eyes, drowned in her smile, and fallen for her soul. I madly don't want this to end.
