The Puerile Queen

Chapter 24: Smiles

"What a surprise." Candice said in a very sarcastic tone, her hair was messy and she's covered with her thick blanket. Obviously, inistorbo namin siya sa pagtulog and that's the worst thing you could ever do to her.

"It's only 2 am in the morning and it's freezing out there so even if you're both not welcome here, I will let you in because I'm a good fucking citizen." Pumasok na siya sa loob kaya naman hinila ko na rin si Ryker papasok, baka magmukha pa kaming snowman pag nanatili kami sa labas.

"Sorry, she's usually like that whenever someone disturbs her beauty sleep." Paghingi ko ng paumanhin, "You want to eat?"

Umiling siya, "I'm not hungry." He said, roaming his eyes around the room.

"I'm hungry though." I pouted before walking straight to the kitchen. Pagbukas ko ng ref, puro eggs and cup noodles lang ang nandoon tapos puro canned goods naman ang nasa cabinets. Good thing dahil mayroong pasta at tomato sauce, pwede akong gumawa ng spaghetti fo myself.

I yawned exasperately before getting the ingredients pero nang ipikit ko ang mata ko, parang gusto ko nalang matulog. Pero gusto ko din kumain.

Matulog o kumain? Mahalin nalang si Ryker. Hehe

"Are you really that hungry? Or do you want to sleep?" He chuckled from behind. Nilingon ko naman siya saka ngumuso, "I don't know either."

He pat my head and returned the things I'm holding, "You're probably tired. Let's just sleep."

Humikab ulit ako saka tumango, "I'm tired of walking too. Can you give me a ride, horsey?"

"Sure, sleepy head." He laughed softly bago ako kinarga sa likod. I directed him the way to my room. Nakangiti kong tinignan ang mala-ulap na design ng pader at ceiling ng kwarto ko pati na ang mga posters ni Ryderbebelabs.

"I miss my room." I mumbled before he carefully led me to my bed. I snuggled my white pillow and rolled over the cushion.

"Where should I sleep?" Ryker asked, standing in front of my bed. I absent-mindedly, crawl towards him and pulled him to lay on my bed. Niyakap ko siya na parang teddy bear, "Good night, Ryker."

I felt his lips pressing against my forehead before sweetly whispering, "Good night, my Anna."

Waking up, seeing the face of your most beloved one is indeed the best, "Ang gwapo talaga ni Ryderbebelabs."

"I know you're complementing my brother so shut it." Ryker said annoyed before snuggling his face closer to my neck. His hand resting on my tummy.

"What? It's true that he's handsome kaya!" I told him, still looking at Ryder's poster that I purposely pinned on the ceiling.

Dinikit ko kasi talaga sa taas yun dati para kapag umaga, maganda lagi ang gising ko kasi siya ang palagi kong masisilayan. Hihihi

Ryker moved his face and scowled, "Are you blind, Anna? It's obvious that I'm more handsome than him."

"Whatever. Ryder's my world." I stick out my tongue which made him frown more.

"I'm supposed to be your world now, I'm your boyfriend." He said which made me giggle. Piningot ko ang tungki ng ilong niya sabay sabing, "Ryder's my world but you're my universe, King Ryker."

That, made him smile. Aww, ang cute niya talaga. Pero seryoso, akala ko pinakamagandang umaga na noon kapag nakikita ko ang poster ni Ryderbebelabs pero mas masaya palang makitang katabi ko si Ryker pagkagising ko. #keso

After a few moments, tumayo na ako para maligo kahit pa ayoko talagang maligo kasi sobrang ginaw ngayon dahil nga winter season na talaga. Nakakahiya lang sa boypren ko, baka maturn off siya. Hehe
