Twisted Memories [Under Revision]

Chapter XIII

Finale

I'm not afraid anymore.

   I'm not afraid.

     Forever is a long time.

        But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.

–– I wouldn't mind, He is We

 

 

I felt something heavy.

As I wake up, the first thing I saw was Sky's face. He was sleeping so soundly; him holding me in his arms. I traced his visage using my finger, his brows were trimmed delicately, his nose had a long line and was tad protruded, his red lips were carved into a thin line. My lips curled into a small smile as I scrutinized his entire face.

He may not be generally perfect, but for me, he is.

My face suddenly went red as I recalled the events last night. I bared my entirety to him. He was my first and I had no regrets for that. 

I pressed his cheek using my thumb to wake him and he stirred. Slowly, he opened his eyes and stared at me lethargically "Good morning." he greeted lazily. He rubbed his eyes and blinked languidly.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." I greeted back.

"I don't want to get up." said Sky in a whining tone. It seems like he still doesn't have any plan on getting up.

"Are you sure?" I arched my brow and asked for confirmation.

"Yeah."

"You have to." I pressed.

"Make me."

It sounded like he was challenging me. An idea suddenly popped out of my mind. I leaned closer to him and sealed his lips with a kiss. His astonishment was evident, his eyes widened in surprise. He was stiffened, he didn't stop nor responded. I pulled back gently and winked at him.

"I'm ready to face the day! That was a good energizer! WOOHOO!" exclaimed Sky. His laziness moments ago faded, he became hyperactive in an instant. I knew that would work. A smirk furtively made its way into my lips.

After taking a bath, we ate breakfast.

"By the way, how did you get here?" I asked out of the blue.

"It's a secret." answered Sky as he gave me a sly wink.

"Tsk!" I rolled my eyes and took a small sip of the coffee. The liquid feels warm in my tongue. I breathed deeply and savoured its bittersweet flavour.

"You're rolling your eyes." he said pointedly.

"So?" I arched my brow and placed the mug down.

"I don't know, it's been a long time ever since I've seen you do that."

Something dawned on me. The mosaic face of the boy in my dreams named Sky whom I fell in love with four years ago became clearer and he had an uncanny resemblance to the Sky in front of me "Say, have we met before?" I looked at him questioningly, "You looked just like that guy I liked four years ago, the only thing that differed you from him was his curly hair."
