"Hmm? How about your sister?"
"She's taking a nap."
"Today is the first time a youngster called me an uncle..." he ugly sobbed.
"Usually girls would go crazy for me..." he added.
I guess girls would go crazy for you if you sealed that lips of yours, but I wouldn't say a thing. I don't want to add salt to the wound.
"Besides, why are you here?"
"Why?? You asked me? Young lady??" He looked kinda mad.
"Oh! Yeah... I forgot. Hold on, let me get my laptop."
As I stood up, he grabbed my arm.
"Stay with me."
I looked at him and blushed.
"I can't beat this boss!!" He sobbed.
Ugh! Get a hold of yourself, Jilly!! Why are you even blushing at his words! He is an adult. You're just a kid to him. Don't get your hopes up!
I slapped myself and he asked whats wrong.
"You went to boss without me and Vinc?!" I playfully pretend to strangle him.
"N-n-nooo! Forgive meeeeee Jillll! This is my alternate accounttttt!" He yelled.
I stopped and laughed. He also laughed.
If only everyday was this fun...
I smiled and went back to my room so I could get my laptop and went to seventh floor.
"Oh, you're back with your laptop," he chuckled.
"Yeah. Since somebody went ahead without me."
"Hahahaha Jil you're so cute, little girl."
"Ugh this uncle is so annoying."
"W-w-why'd you call me uncle too?!" He quickly turned and looked at me with puppy eyes.
"Cause you called me 'little girl', uncle. Doesn't that make you sound old?"
"Alrighttttt! I'll stop calling you little girl so please don't call me uncle!!" He ugly sobbed.
I looked at him with a judgemental face.
"Oh ya! Today is Saturday. Let's invite Vinc too!"
"Let's."
"Do you have discord, Vincent?"
"Yeah."
Why does he seems unhappy? His replies are short too. It must have been my imagination.
"I'll invite you to our server."
"Alright."
This guy... is acting weird. Oh well, he is weird to begin with.
"Done! Accept the invitation and I'll ask Vinc to join the channel."
[Jilly has logged into the chatroom 'FriendStory guiseeee'.]
[Vincent has logged into the chatroom 'FriendStory guiseeee'.]
[Vinc has logged into the chatroom 'FriendStory guiseeee'.]
Jilly : Yooooo! Sup Vinccccc :)
Vinc : who is this vincent lol?
"I'm... her... boy....friend..." (Vincent is typing while saying it out loud to Jilly)
Vincent : I'm her boyfriend
Jilly : an old uncle. btw he is not my bf
Vinc : oh. hi uncle
Vincent : omg! i want to crai (cry)! this is the third time some youngster called me uncle!! T.T
"You deserve it, uncle," I smiled.
Jilly : anyways, vinc come fs and do event. you free?
Vinc : yea. 100 w uncle? (Level 100 with uncle?)
Vincent : for the last time!! I IS NOT UNCLE. IM ONLY 22!!!
Vinc : wow. isnt 22 old? ;)
Vincent : kids nowaways... == i dun even want to know ur definition of 'old' anymore...
Jilly : just admit you're old, vincent :)
Vincent : how old r u, vinc?
Vinc : oh. actually, im the same age as Jil.
"What?!" We both shouted.
Jilly : your job...?
Vinc : part time at my grandpa's shop. he pays me tho (though)
Jilly : come to voice channel. lazy type
"Hi Jil~"
"Hellllllo Vinc!!"
"Hi Vinc."
"Ha? Who's that, Jil?"
"Oh. I forgot to inform you, Vinc. This human here is Vincent!"
"Why are you even there with him?"
"Err.. actually... you'd be surprised."
"We're neighbours, kiddo."
"Ugh shut up old uncle I'm talking to Vinc here."
"What about my existence, little g-" he stopped before completing his words.
"Shush. Let me talk with Vinc or else I'll put on headphones."
"I'll just put on headphone as well and join voice channel since I'm in as well," he stick his tongue out like a kid.
Seriously... am I dealing with a 22 years old adult or a seven years old kid...
"Jil... Why didn't you answer your phone? I called you a lot of times but you never picked up."
"Oh? Ah! I left my phone in my room! Hold on, let me get my phone."
What if mom calls me to ask about Sylvie. I've forgotten about Sylvie as well... What if she woke up and is afraid of being all alone...?
"No it's okay. I'm just worried."
"She already left, Vinc."
"... I have nothing to say to you, old uncle."
"Like I said, I'm only 22. What's wrong with you, dude?! I'm only six years older than you."
"Whatever. Do you like Jil?"
"Of course I like her!"
"I meant not as a friend."
"..."
On the other hand...
"Please hope that Sylvie is still asleep!"
As the elevator door opened, I saw mom standing infront of my house.
"I'm doomed."
"Where have you been, you witch?!" She yelled at me angrily.
"I-"
"Don't you know that your sister's afraid of being home alone, in a stranger's place?!"
I could only stood there and listen quietly to my mom's scolding. If I said anything, it would only make the situation worse.
"Whatever, witch. Open the door! I will never bring her to your place ever again! Even if I'm desperate to find a caretaker, it will never be you monster!"
I opened the door. The moment the door is opened, Sylvie rushed out in tears and hugged mom.
Mom warned me again and went back with Sylvie.
"Why did you... even come here at the first place... if I'm just a witch to you...?" Tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry... for being born. I'm sorry... for being a witch to you..."
