A Pocky Promise

Part 2: The Messenger

(Milo received a message from his children asking for him to go home, and they would take care of Xibalba for the rest of the night.)

"Daddy, can we please have the night with grandpa, you can go home and sleep we can handle this."

(Milo agreed to the terms of his children and let them take care of this father for the rest of the night.)

*Xibalba smiled
Xibalba: you rascals now ready to hear the story?
Milos children: yes grandpa, we're ready.
Xibalba: okay okay.

-Xibalba-

"This story doesn't start with a happy chapter, it started with a single glance to the most beautiful woman I ever met."

(Xibalba was slouching at the corridor, waiting for his friends to go out of class to proceed at the canteen and eat lunch, as he was winding down time, a lady walked by past him, his eyes stucked to the lady, his heartbeat rushed, he felt like time was stopping, his feet locked down to the floor, he felt it was her and only her.)

Xibalba: La Muerte.💕
Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see
Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow.

*Xibalbas friends went out and joked about everything.

Chim: how you holding up man you seem tense?
Xibalba: I saw her for the first time.
Kirby: who?
Xibalba: La Muerte.
Ace: La Muerte? Her? For real man?
Xibalba: yes La Muerte.
Chim: okay hahaha if La Muerte it is, La Muerte would it be.

(Xibalba and his friends continued their meal and convenient conversation)

-Their Afternoon class-

(Just like any other bad seed students in a highschool institution, the first thing Xibalba would always do is sleep, until their last scheduled class, or stay in the back and make some noise or mess.)

(But when La Muerte passed by, he always, always, always stops-looks and listen to whoever is talking in front. Thats why La Muerte was a very big part of Xibalbas change.)

(Xibalba saw something)
"Xibalba went home after school, not a word uttered in his mouth, he simply took it upon himself to be alone in a faithful afternoon. But what he don't realize is La Muerte's eyes are snooping around him, looking at him from a distance. But Xibalba just walked through the long halls of their school, through the long lonely brick sidewalks of their school and went out of their campus without anything out of his mouth."

-The Everyday nights-

(Every night, Xibalba would try to talk to La Muerte, but every night was a very epic failure, every night he brought up long messages, but every try is a fail. Not because La Muerte refused, but Xibalba was scared, Xibalba was scared of rejection, scared of failing, scared of something real.)

             -The Wednesday afternoon-

(Xibalba was just an avarage joe, doing stupid things but accidentally, he bumped himself to La Muerte. His eyes stuck, his heart rushed, his hands shaking, his knee fading, La Muerte looked Xibalba in the eyes, and Xibalbas motion? Stops. *Xibalba couldn't say anything, La Muerte just flicked her hair and smiled at Xibalba, walked away bringing something with her, Xibalbas heart.)

Xibalba: I felt something different, i felt something new, I felt like, she's the one😵.
"That accident brought strength within Xibalba, he thinks, if it would be real, if it would happen, im going to make this work."

                    -The Night😎-

(Xibalba was ready, Xibalba was scared but also Xibalba is not backing down anymore.)

Xibalba: Hey?
(Active 2minutes ago)
(Nice try champ better luck next time)

Xibalba: hey?
La Muerte: oy hello😊
*Xibalba fainted
Xibalba: you joined the cheer dance yes?
La Muerte: yep you?
Xibalba: yeah.
(She just laughed)
Xibalba: so how are you today? How have you been doing?
La Muerte: fine, im doing well actually.
Xibalba: you know why star glitter?
La Muerte: well actually no, i wanna know why though?
Xibalba: they try to shine my way to you😊
(La Muerte didn't say anthing, she just smiled.)
Xibalba: you getting sleepy?
La Muerte: yes a bit, actually.
Xibalba: ey so lets sleep shall we?
La Muerte: well I want to okay lets go.
(The two love birds ended their chat, with a basic Goodnight nothing to special about it.)

"But what Xibalba didn't realize is La Muerte was the lady she dreams but cannot have💔."

Old Xibalba:  you know kids, La Muerte was the lady that completed something, she was very special, she cared, she loved but she was also smart. I doubt she'll settle for a jerk like me, but i may be am 60 years old but, if some jerk breaks her heart, i swear this old limbs gonna break his face.

(The Grandpa story was cut due to a interrupting father.)

Milo: okay kids, im back, i have food, lets go and let grandpa sleep and relax shall we?
Milo's children: BUT DAD😭
Milo: no kids, grandpa needs rest.
Xibalba: hehehe you're daddy's right, go ill tell you the story tomorrow.
Milo's children: okay grandpa, *kisses Xibalba's cheeks.
"Milo did the same and as milo was opening the door Xibalba had something to say."
Xibalba: Milo? Son? Choose someone who you want, someone who will love you for who you are, i may be am old but i was always stupid, please forgive me.
Milo: dad don't say that😭
*Xibalba smiled and slept
