A Few Days Later...
Some how I managed to drag my ass out of bed and work the morning shift. Luckily it was only a short shift, so I'm off earlier. Speeding down the back roads, I make it to my apartment in record time.
Hurriedly, walking into my apartment, wandering into my room to see Dui sitting on my bed.
"Welcome home, Abbey." He greets me happily.
"H-hey...I-I'm back." I bashfully wave to him, setting my bag and keys down on my desk.
"Have a good day?" He asks.
This is kind of different...never had someone waiting for me at home.
It's a good different...
"Y-yeah." I nod and let my hair out of its ponytail, combing my fingers through my hair.
"That's good." He smiles.
"So, what did you do today? Did those weird noises happen again?"
We still haven't found the origin of the strange noises that'd been happening around my apartment. I've try to convince myself that it may be just a technical malfunction. However, there's just something not right about the sounds, and how they can be in one area then suddenly appear in a totally different area. So, as much as I want to tell Dui my theories, I can't bring myself too, because even I'm skeptical about it.
"Today was fine." He gets up and walks over to me. "Can I have your hand for a second?"
"Sure." Automatically I outstretch my hand to meet his.
With a huff Dui speaks. "Now, where is this evil thing that's worrying you so much?"
I burst out into a laugh. "Why did you say it like that?"
Dui chuckles at my reaction, then he snaps his fingers.
But the room remains silent. Nothing appears.
"See?" Dui says.
I raise my hands in surrender. "Okay, okay."
Then I think again, that maybe I'm not so much skeptical about my theories than really enjoying Dui's company here.
"I'll be with you tonight too. Relax." He reassures me.
"I'm sorry, if I'm asking to much, y'know..." I rub my arm, looking at the floor. "You can tell me if I am.
"Please, don't apologize." Dui pats me on the head.
"But—"
"Then...you can say thanks."
"Thanks?" I incline my head to look at him with a puzzled expression.
He nods, flashing me an innocent mile. "Yeah, that makes me much happier to hear. It probably makes me want to take care of you even more."
My heart skips a beat.
Take care...of me?
When he says such things, I get all shy and embarrassed, unsure on how to deal with these types of conversations and situations.
"So, what are you going to do tonight?" He asks.
"Oh, I got some work to do tonight." I tell him.
