In a heartbeat: R.E Version [In Progress]

Chapter 22: The things that happen without us knowing

Sherwin's POV

"Hey, what time is it?" I heard dylan asked. We were playing a card game by the name of "Monster Hunt: The board game". The game itself brings back memories, i used to play it when i was 7 though i only played it alone.

We circled around the board where we placed our monsters to do battle. As a kid it's was alot cooler to me. I sighed. "It's 5:52 pm" jonathan said.

I gasped. Then i turned my head to the window. The sun was low, orange ray of light crawled the tops of the trees. How did we not noticed it's getting dark!?

"Let's call it a day" i heard jonathan said. I looked at him as he drop his card on the board.

"What!? I was just starting to win" dylan complained as he took drop his card. True, he didn't get any luck during the past earlier rounds.

"Sherwin kicked both our ass" dylan added. I blushed.

"N-no no, that was just luck" i waved my hands infront of him in embarrassment. "No, that's more than just luck. You placed trap in the right moment and you always win in a fight" i heard jonathan said. The blush deepen even more.

I rubbed my shoulder. I smiled to myself at jonathan's praise and looked back at my cards.

"We better go. Your mom might be worried now" jonathan said as he stood up and offered me a hand.

He smiled warmly at me. I hesistantly took his hand and he helped me up. His hands were always something *Da dub Da dub* i enjoyed the brief moment of his warmth until we let go.

"So let's go?" He asked as he face me. He smiled at me. I wanted to look away but i just couldn't. I'm sure he can see the blush on my face.

I nodded. Dylan stood up and put a hand on my shoulder, earning my attention to him.

"I'll take you home" he said to me with a smile. But before i could reply, jonathan supplied for me.

"That won't be necessary. I got a bike, i'll take him" he said with smile, then grab dylan's wrist. "No, you don't need to. Plus, his mom entrusted him to me" dylan replied and i don't know if it's just me or his smile was more of a smirk.

I looked at jonathan...."is he irritated?" I thought as his smile turn to a grin and gritting his teeth.

They continued to reason to each other who'll take me home. "Ok, i think i'll call mom for a moment" i told them i freed myself to dylan's grasp.

They both looked at me for a while but continued to brickered anyway. I checked for my pockets but...i couldn't find it! *Sigh* "oh, right, i left it at home" i internally groaned.

I looked at the two........jonathan had a hand on dylan's forehead while still having his other hand on dylan's wrist. He looked like trying to push his head off! While dylan had a hand on jonathan's wrist where he was pushing his head away trying to stop jonathan and the other hand on jonathan's cheek with jonathan's own hand, pushing his head towards me.

I tilted my head. They looked little kids fighting over something. Jonathan spotted me and looked at me directly. He had blank expression.

"Ummm" I mumbled unsure what to question. Dylan also met my gaze after that. They both stopped what they were doing. "D-don't worry this is just how we umm show our affections!" Jonathan said as he smiled at me as he chuckled rather nervously. Hands on his waist.

"Y-yeah! Nothing to worry. Were just...playing, hehe." dylan said putting both his hands on his pocket and grin at me.

I smiled at them. "They really are best friends" i thought as i remembered what they shared something about themselves.
