Waves Of Love(GL)

Chapter 11

Akari's POV         

                       "Her mood swings"

I'm still so worried and restless—what I witnessed was horrible. It seems she experienced something terrifying that continues to haunt her.

It’s not easy; she must be having a hard time. I feel so bad for her.

It was a good thing I immediately caught her when she lost consciousness earlier, and then I carefully laid her head on a pillow.

I rushed to ask the staff for help. They became restless and deeply worried when I told them, especially when they saw Solenn lying unconscious.

They quickly helped me carry Solenn to my bedroom and carefully laid her down.

I’ve lost my appetite, so I’ll just wait for her to wake up so we can eat together. She’s been sleeping for over an hour now.

Look at that grumpy giant, peacefully sleeping.

"Please don’t…" I was about to get up when I heard her speak.

"Solenn? How are you? Does your head still hurt?" I asked worriedly while gently patting her hand.

I noticed she was sweating, even though the room’s air conditioner was on.

"Hey… are you okay? What’s—" My heart nearly jumped when she screamed.

"DON’T! DON’T DO THAT, PLEASE! I’M BEGGING YOU! LET THEM GO! PLEASE, PLEASE! I’M BEGGING YOU!" She pleaded in fear, clutching the bedsheet and tightening her grip.

"Solenn, wake up! You’re having a bad dream—please wake up!" I shouted desperately. I was so worried.

"NOOO! DON’T! DON’T DO THAT! YOU’RE EVIL! JUST LET THEM GO!" she screamed, and it only got worse. What should I do?!

"Holy moly, please wake up, Solenn! You’re making me so nervous—I’m so worried!" I shouted, and then an idea suddenly popped into my mind.

"I'm sorry, but I need to do this—it's for your own good! You’re having a horrible dream, so you need to wake up now!" I shouted as I grabbed her right hand and bit it hard.

"AAAAA! WHAT THE HELL?!!" she screamed as she abruptly woke up.

"Gomenasai! You were having a bad dream, and I couldn’t wake you up—that’s why I did that," I apologized, bowing my head.

"What the heck?! You can wake me up without biting me! What are you—a dog?! Damn, it hurts!" she complained as she caressed her hand.

"I'm sorry, okay?! It was the only thing that came to mind—I'm really sorry!" I said awkwardly without meeting her eyes.

"Oh, really?! You're unbelievable, Ms. Sekiguchi," she said in disbelief.

"But still, thank you," she added softly. I looked at her.

"Don't mention it—um, sorry again," I replied shyly.

There was a moment of awkward silence.

"Um—you must be starving. Just a moment; I'll heat up the ramen," I said as I got up immediately.

"Okay, take your—oh wait! Ms. Sekiguchi," she called before I even left the room.

"Yes?" I faced her, confused.

"How did I get here? Don’t tell me you carried me here all by yourself—unbelievable," she said, chuckling.

Fine—I can’t lift her alone. How am I supposed to lift a giant like her?! Tsk.

"I asked a staff member for help," I explained as she became serious.

What's wrong with her?

"What? Why did you do that?" she said coldly, leaving me confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"You shouldn’t have done that—you would have left me on the floor if you couldn’t lift me," she said with a hint of anger.

"What—wait, are you mad? I just couldn’t bear to leave you lying on the floor—is that wrong?" I said in disbelief. What did she expect? That I would just let her lie there unconsciously?!

Why would I do that?! What's with her?!

"You don’t understand," she said as she got up from the bed.

"What?! But really—I just don’t get it! Tell me why what I did was wrong," I said in disbelief.

"What?! Why would I? It’s none of your business, Ms. Sekiguchi," she snapped angrily, then turned to leave.

Goodness, what’s wrong with her? I really don’t understand!

"One more thing—can you just forget what happened? Just pretend you didn’t hear or see anything and don’t mention it to anyone again," she said firmly before leaving.

"What?! What's with that grumpy woman?!" I exclaimed. I wasn’t sure if she heard me; I heard the loud banging of the door.

She really left—she left me dumbfounded.

Jeez! What’s wrong with her?! I’m just so worried about her—is that wrong?!

She’s really moody. Is she bipolar? But it's okay; I know she’s going through a lot—that’s why she’s like that.

Since we’re under the same roof now, I’ll need a lot of patience to understand her.

That grumpy giant woman.
