Being Next to You

Chapter 30: crazy dream

People tend to love and hurt each other...and usually they hurt the most those whom they love best.

It's the humans' nature.

Every book I read always has a hero and villain in its story.

Well in my story, I'm the hero and also the bad guy.

Yours truly, Shaine Knight.

However, early this morning, I had a dream. A dream in a white room where I was busy reading books. I looked bored as usual, then the scenario changed. I heard the sound of a horse and when I turned around, a white stallion appeared and ate the book in my hand. There was no rider, but it kept eating my books and it was a pain to stop the horse as it kicked me in the face.

An English Knight appeared out of nowhere caught me in its arms. And I was too dumbfounded to react as the metal dude was busy chasing after horsy, and how I wished it wasn't Italian under that helmet because that would be crazy.

The stranger came to me, face to face after horsy became a circus pony. I noticed Mr. Hero was short and dazzling, it reminded me of Italian flirt. I started to fret as its rusty helmet came very close to my exquisite face. And I could feel its breathing, and stranger smelled like molted paper with a pinch of cinnamon rolls.

'Wait!? What? What am I saying!?!'

I tripped and I fell. The hero was staring at me.

He removes its helmet, and Rina's face appeared with her giggling voice. I woke up wide awake and also, on the wrong side of the bed.

I mean, come on!! This is not funny anymore!! Now, I'm dreaming about her this time!?!

At school, Ellijah won't stop laughing after I told him my bizarre dream and same goes with lychee over the top. And I thought telling him this piece of crap was a good idea to take it out of my chest.

"Y-You sounded like a grade schooler discovering his first crush!! How cute!! Seriously, teddy bear... It's actually adorable of you!!" Ellijah hits my back like there was no tomorrow as he continued "smizing" and grinning like an idiot. But her girlfriend was a demon because she found good dirt on me..

Collette's malicious smug appeared, "Good thing I told her to go to your house and talk to ya, huh, Shaine." Looking at her ugly face.

"So, what do you liked about her?" She added. "Her innocent face? Her innocent personality? Or maybe her innocent boobs?"

"SHUT UP." I shoved her hand and hearing her pervert jokes with dead fish eyes.

"Come on! We're just having fun." Continued Collette, "But to be frank, it's not bad coming from you, Shaine."

"Just because she saved me from my depression, doesn't mean I'll start falling in love with her." I angered, "This isn't those damsels in distress stories where they marry those who free them from the tower or defeating a fire-breathing dragon. This is reality for Pete's sake."

"And reality's telling you that you're the damsel of this freaking reality," simpered his girlfriend.

"But it's normal for having a crush for a reason like that, Saf." Said E, "Look at me for an example. Col liked me ever since I defended her five years ago."

Lychee hugged him from behind and said, "El was my hero back then, and now, he's my lover." Smiling innocently, making a lovely-dovely atmosphere between them which made me the third wheel.

"Hey, Ellijah might be your lover but he's my best friend, and best friends last more than lovers do," I smirked, hogging him over from his girlfriend. And the fruit was jealous and it started to become entertaining. Then she began to unbutton the first layer of her uniform, slowly that made it worse for the man's mind..!

"HEY, PERVERT." Dead fish eyes appeared once more as she touched me with her filthy soft hands in front of her boyfriend. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

"Making your heart race and fill it with dirty thoughts," she responded with a seducing voice..

I glanced at the side, E became a steaming tomato. He sat quietly and watched us with a smile. "Hey, genius." I looked at her, "This is called sexual harassment and your partner to be doesn't seem to complain."

She smiled innocently then pinched my cheeks so hard that it hurts and left an angry red mark. I hit her nerve, but that's why she's on my personal blacklist, I really don't care if she's E's girlfriend.

Col buttoned her shirt back, then without a word, she came close to her man.

"What is it..?" He asked, confusion lingering in his head. Col grabbed his face and stared at it. And it was amusing to watch her actions.

She stared and stared, then pecked his nose with her lips just for that. It was hilarious, I had to hold my mouth. However, my friend's an idiot but I don't mind as his girlfriend walked out.

Ellijah's face was grinning, "Saf, what kind of creature do you think she is? A succubus or a troll?"

"BOTH. HALF-SUCCUBUS AND HALF-TROLL," I answered. "Seducing men without trying hard is so like a succubus, and your girlfriend eats people just like a troll. She is terrifying in a lot of ways, you must be won over by her spells."

"That might be true since I'm falling for her again," he said.

"Ahhgg, that's gross." I felt chills over my body. "I really can't understand your taste. Col's pretty and smart but she's a witch."

"That's cute of you, Saf." He commented, "But I thought you said she was a demon, but neither way, she's a good demon or witch."

"I meant the evil one," I corrected, hugging E once more.

"Hahaha... But you should keep your hands off away from Collette more, I did get jealous earlier, you know."

"Don't worry, there's no way I would lay my beautiful hands on her." I responded, "But how come you're jealous? Aren't you with her almost every day?"

"That's because she never does those kinds of stuff when it comes to me. And I hadn't laid a finger on her yet, but that also makes Collette so adorable and cute."

"She's not cute I'm telling you." Still trying to convince.

"Nobody's perfect. But you know, when you love someone, no matter how messy they turn your life to be, they can change but it's not that easy. However, even they turned to be moody, unpredictable, unreasonable and difficult to handle, you still want them in your life then you realized that those parts were already accepted and some can be the parts you love about them. Isn't that how it works?" Ellijah was returning the topic.

"Sounds romantic and disgusting," I commented.

"How cruel, but I also loved that part of you, Saf."

He was smiling like an idiot again. But who cares; I love that part of him.

"I love you too, E."
