"Does it still hurt?" I shook my head no after he rotated my toe.

"Get some sleep." I covered myself with a blanket, unable to look at him after that incident.

"I'm sorry about earlier." I mumbled.

"What about it?" I hear a ruffle of clothes. He must be taking off his shirt.

"You know.." does he really want me to say it? I wanted to glare at him but I'm still embarrassed so not now.

"That thing..." I clutched my pillow. I swear if he-

"What thing?"

"Yah!" I sat up and glare at him.

"I really don't know what's to be sorry about." He shrugged and stripped off his short pants, making me look away.

"The kiss... it was an accident." I muttered lowly and went back to cover myself.

"As you said, it's an accident. Let's just say your lips bumped into mine and I'm sure my girlfriend won't mind."

"Your what?" I shot up in bed and attentively looked at him

"My girlfriend." He looked straight to my eyes. He didn't even bat an eye!

"B-b-but..." I whispered, staring into nothing

"Hmm?" He propped up his elbows on either side and tilted his head at me

"I didn't know you have a girlfriend." He smiled

"Of course you don't.." is he being sarcastic?

"So are most of the people." I stilled. Holy moly! I totally forgot there are cameras here. I think I'm hyperventilating and I don't if it's because of his revelation or the thought that every move is being watched. Watched! Kill me now!

I pointed at him but no words came out. Of course he has a girlfriend, he's just a natural flirt, but he didn't say he's flirting with you. There are guys like that in the world so don't assume. I slowly laid down and tried to sleep but I  can't.

I remembered all the things that happened and I kicked and punched the air. Careful not to make any noise as he is already asleep while I'm still wide awake.

"Was he planning on making me a third party? Mee? How dare he!" I whispered to myself. I can't take it! I stood up and started pacing around.

"Does he read erotic novels to his girlfriend? Is that why he's reading kama sutra? Living in this house must be painful for him. I bet he's very healthy when it comes to that. But then, they might be doing it on purpose, to build excitement and have a much more mindblowing sex when they meet again. And because he does not have any chance to touch her physically for what, a couple of weeks? That's why he had an impulse when he pinned me down in bed. But why does he have to tell he's gonna masturbate? What is it for me? What's in it for me? They must have been long together if they can talk such vulgar things to each other.." aisht! I stomped and grabbed a pillow then marched over to his bed side.

I held the pillow and then remembered the cameras. Omygosh, my first crime, and a serious one at that, will be caught on camera? I really don't know how to be a criminal. Tsk. The pillow limped on my side and I stomped back on my bed.

One thousand.... I've counted that long and I still can't sleep. I sat up and felt my throat dry. I stepped out of the room and went to the kitchen to get water.

"What? The room's not cold for you?" I jumped at his voice.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"Getting water. What are you doing infront of an open fridge and just standing there." I blinked. How long was I out of it.

"Sorry, I fell asleep a bit." I scratched my head and got a pitcher of water.

"With your eyes open?" He got two glasses for us

"It's a skill I just learned." When I'm deep in thought, my soul goes out of my body so it's the same as sleeping.

"Why are we whispering?" Right. I cleared my throat.

"So uhmm... how long are you together?" I drank the water and I hope I sounded casual

"A year and a couple of months." Still early and they're that active?

"Aren't you scared of losing fans?" He put the glass down and he stared at me when he answered.

"I'm scared of losing her more." My breath was taken away. His eyes held pain and that's just the thought of losing her.

"Ooh, what? Are you gonna propose already?"

"I kind of already did." My eyes widened.

"You're quick. You have to know her more first" I muttered.

"We can have a lifetime to get to know each other. Besides, it doesn't matter what I learn about her, I'll love her nonetheless." My heart pricked. Lucky her.

"Oh wow. You're smitten huh?" He smiled

"Truly, madly, deeply falling in love." My head ached

"Let's see, have you ever felt that way with other guys than him?" I immediately said no

"Aweee our baby's fallen truly, madly, deeply in love."

"Hey you ok?" I looked at him and nodded

"Yeah. Just remembered that one song from savage garden..." who's him? That was definitely me they're teasing.

"You really love her huh?" Why ask a question you don't want to hear the answer? Cause she's a masochist. I shooed away my inner consciousness.

"So much that she probablg can't remember how much" why did that seem painful?

"You're sleepy." He flicked my forehead.

"Yeah. Probably tired." I mumbled.

"You can go ahead. I'll just wash these" he motioned to the glass we used.

"Oh, ok. Thanks." He smiled and took it to the sink. I absentmindedly returned the water to the fridge and walked up to our room.

"Goodnight." I called out.

"Goodnight, chipmunk." My heart skipped a beat. I went in the room and clutched my heart

"You have to stop. You'll only get hurt." A tear escaped my eye and I brushed it off. I jumped on the bed and closed my eyes. I instantly fell asleep. Probably because of my exhausted heart. I murdered it after all.
