A Ghost Love Story

Chapter 11: I don't know who I am

"I'm sorry what?"

"I'm a ghost Grace....I'm no longer living"

"Please tell me this is all a joke"

"I'm afraid not"

I stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to properly react. In front of me is a ghost. And he's even talking to me. Of all the people in this planet, why is this happening to me???

"Why are you doing this?" – I spoke to him. He seemed to be puzzled with my words so I clarified it to him.

"Why are you talking to me?" "Why did you chose to show yourself to me?" "Why are you here?"

There are so many questions juggling inside of my head right now. I don't know which one to ask him.

"Pfft..."

I turned to see him trying to stop himself from laughing.

"What's so funny?" – I say in a cold manner. I'm perfectly serious and so is our topic of discussion here, so why on earth would he try to laugh?

"Ahahahahahah!!"

He probably couldn't handle it anymore...he suddenly burst out laughing. Is he a lunatic? What the hell is wrong with him?

"Excuse me, I don't see anything funny here"

He seemed to stop laughing when he saw that I was serious. But he was still wearing a small smile in his face that made me wonder if he really is serious.

"You're different"

I was startled with his words.

"What you mean different?"

"You're a good type of different. I mean, most people would have already ran away upon knowing that I'm a ghost. But you seemed calm. And it seemed that you became even more curious as to who I am & what I am"

Well he is correct. I'm not really the kind of person to scream & run away but I'm not sure I'm that calm either. And yes, I was quite curious about him.

"So...."

My gaze trailed onto him as he slowly leaned by the edge of the railing. I looked up to his face to see a smirk slowly forming onto his lips. This guy, who does he think he is?

"Are you really interested me?" – He asked me with a confident smirk on his face. I was quite puzzled with this kind of behavior of his. If you ask me, he's definitely not an ordinary ghost. He looks & acts more human.

"I could tell you who I am, or who I truly was but... that wouldn't be fun" – he suddenly gave me a wink.

FUN?? Seriously something is wrong with this dude. I think I need to get out of here.

"I won't ask you again Grace. Do you really want to know who I am?"

"And if I did want to know? Will there be consequences?" – I ask in full curiosity.

"Well first of all, being able to see me is already a rare phenomenon. And it's already gonna be a bothering part of your life. And being able to know me well....that's gonna be an even more bothering phenomenon on your part"

"Just spit it out already"

He seemed startled with my words. His eyes grew a bit wider than usual but a few seconds later, his confident smirk was back.

"You really are different. And quite impatient too..."

"Could you please tell me who you really are already? I haven't got all day"
