The magic keeper

Chapter 4: Risk

Shit! Shit! Shit!

I woke up to the sound of the damn alarm ringing in my head. The sound was so loud. Damn it!

The earphones and the alarm weren't a good idea, but it worked. Everybody was sleeping.

I carefully opened the bag.

It's a box. It was .. A game?

"Risk."

Never heard about it.

But why was he so serious about a damn game?!

Maybe there isn't the materials of it in that box. Maybe he used it to hide something else.

I opened it a little.

Nope. It's a game. Really? It's a joke or what?

I just sighed and sleeped.

********************

"But he woke me!"

"Oh so you're gonna tell him to stop snoring?"

Oh, David. Sometimes he's worse than kids.

"It's okay bro you got you revenge. Your annoying voice woke me." I said with my eyes still shut.

"Good."

"Yeah."

"Okay so I'm not going to stay mad at you because of your snoring. I'm bored."

I smiled a little, but didn't open my eyes.

"Oh come on! Wake up!"

"Stop being such a kid David. Let me rest a little."

"Okay I'll shut up."

"Good."

Not even one minute passed.

"Why are doing this to me?"

"Okay okay I'm awake. Just.. Shut up!"

"So, how was your night?"

Memories of the bag and the man in the airport flashed in my head. But he didn't notice the change in my expression.

"It was great. I slept well"

"Did you dream?"

"No, u?"

"Yeah."

"Cool."

"You don't want to know what it was about?"

"Sure."

"I was running in a jungle, carrying a bag full of chocolat, and my mom was chasing me holding a basket of fruits, shouting and telling

me to not eat the chocolat.."

And he laughed so hard that I think the whole plane heard his laughter.

"I understand that, when you're bored, you act like a child, but your dreams become childish too?"

He just laughed more, though I don't think it was possible.

Then I joined him.
