Wake Me Up In Year 2202

Chapter 19

∞ L A U R E N ∞

There is something in the way he looked at me that day. The way he touched my face, brushed my hair and whispered the words he wanted to say. Why?! Why is he doing this? I rolled on the right side of my bed still thinking about the words Cloud told me when I ended up with a loud thud as I reached the edge.

"Ouch my butt! Ahoow!"

Can't this day get any better?! Oow that hurts! It's already 9 in the morning but Cloud is still asleep in his room---stop! Don't think about him, just don't! I tried slapping my face before getting up and heading straight towards the mirror and I was horrified as I saw my face on it. Look at all these dark circles around my eyes!

"This is all his fault. If he didn't say those words I should've had a good sleep. "

I decided to go to the kitchen to have a cup of coffee since my thoughts are in a haywire right now, I just want to somehow calm my senses down.

I gulp down the cold water and put the glass down on the table with a loud thud. That's the 5th glass and no matter how many times I try to calm myself down I can still feel my heart racing inside me. I tried tapping my face and jumping trying to get rid of this funny feeling inside me.

"Hahuu! Lauren please get a hold of yourself! This can't be happening!"

I take a glass of water once more and take a mouthful of it.

"What's happening?"

I was so startled by the voice that I jerk in my place and spit the water out to whoever is standing behind me.

"Oh crap."

I whispered at myself as I saw Cloud with his eyes close and water dripping on his face. What have you done Lauren?!

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean it, I swear."

I gulp down my nervousness when Cloud began wiping his face with his shirt. You're doomed Lauren, doomed!

"What the ff--Lauren? What are you a water dragon? Don't do that to Drey."

A "hehe" laugh escaped my lips which is freaking weird as I showed him my peace sign. He shake his head like he's so used to me being clumsy before he made his way towards the table to sit down. That's it? He won't scold me? He's making me feel more uncomfortable.

"So what's for breakfast? "

My eyes widened when I realized I haven't done anything since the last minute.

"Oh right breakfast. What do you want for breakfast? "

I avoided his gaze and turn my back at him trying to make myself busy. I just can't look him in the eye after what happened this dawn.

"The moment I painted your face in my heart."

His voice echoed in my mind which I immediately shrugged off by shaking my head like a retarded duck.

"Anything will do."

He said and I just responded with an 'ok'. I'm definitely aware that he's looking at me which makes me even more conscious every single second! I got an onion and started chopping it. Gaaa! Help me! I don't know what to do. There's something different in his eyes during that time, there's something different on how he stared at me, it feels like he was looking into my---soul.
