It All Started With A Pen

Chapter 9: Nap Date

"I won’t. I swear. Bastard deserved it anyway. I would do the same. Except I’d show them another side of me where they wouldn’t take advantage of me no longer." She says. Admitting her intentions. "But I promise. This is only between us, and us only." She gives a warm and reassuring smile towards Hafwen.

Hafwen didn't react in a few seconds but smiled back softly. "Yeah yeah whatever." She rolled her eyes playfully, placing both of her hands at the back of her head as she laid down and closed her eyes

"Also I thought you wanted to nap." She opened one of her eyes to look at her.

"Mm. Well, yeah of course. I’m tired but I don’t know why my eyes don’t want to close. It’s like something’s telling I have a few more words to say. But, i just don’t know what.." obviously she knew. She was starting to develop feelings for Hafwen. But she was unsure since they barely hung out for the day. But she remembered how Ignatia would tease Hafwen right in front of her. And she was starting to figure out what that could’ve meant.

Hafwen stared at her for a moment then closed her eyes again "Must be very confusing." She said. "Feelings can be an asshole sometimes, even though you didn't expect it to happen. Same here, I don't know what mine is either. Sometimes it yeets but sometimes it yeets in." She yawned, her eyes were half closed. "But I just brush it off."

"Pfft. If you brush it off it’s gonna come back as always. It just knows how to find it’s way back to you. Then you’ll be questioning it twice as much." She yawns, and stretches. But as she stretches her arms, one of them goes behind Hafwen on accident. But she retracts her arm back and looks genuinely embarrassed. "Crap— sorry I didn’t mean to do that."

Hafwen snorted "Whatever." She said before taking her arm "C'mere." She spoke out softly, putting Lectrix's arm around her waist while Hafwen wrapped her arms around her shoulders. So definitely cuddling. "Just..." She yawned "... Sleep." She said while her nose kind of nuzzled Lectrix's hair, closing her eyes. Hafwen didn't knew why she made this move but enjoyed it anyway. She also smells like cigarettes and lavender as they got closer.

Lectrix, being a calm and collected person, was now caught off guard and in a complete train of thought where she didn’t know what exactly to do next. She just had her arms around Hafwen’s waist. But eventually let her resting position relax. She just went along with Hafwen’s arms around her shoulders and felt.. warm.

Hafwen slowly fell asleep from the cuddling.All she could hug from her apartment was her pillow but now she's hugging a real person.A person who made her feelings confusing.

"Hafwen?" Lectrix says. Quite softly While her head rested on top of Hafwen’s "When you were talking about your feelings- were they directed at me? You can be honest with me."

Hafwen's eyes were half opened. She hesitated to respond but she did anyway. "Maybe yeah." She softly said in a little bit of a tiring tone.

Lectrix’s eyes were slowly closing by the second. She nodded. Letting Hafwen Know that she heard her. "That’s—cute." She let the words slip from her mouth.

"Oy-" Her voice was not tiring this time and she was obviously pouting. "That ain't cute, you blue haired- dingus-" She said but she was still holding her tho.

Lectrix pulls her head inward to get a better look at Hafwen. Both their eyes meet "Mmmm, no. I thought that was pretty cute." she chuckles.

Hafwen looked down at her, squinting her eyes at her before she moved a bit. "Just sleep- my god-" She closed her eyes again.

Lectrix chuckles, and buried her head into Hafwen’s chest. She smiles, and let’s her worries go. Maybe this was a step forward to their new bond with each each other. And with that, she falls asleep being in Hafwen’s arms.

After a few hours of having a nap(date). Of course Hafwen didn't woke up because she's a big heavy sleeper but until now she's still holding Lectrix tight.

As time passed, it was starting to get dark. Right now, it would have probably been 7pm. And to interrupt, of course Salem has to jump on the bed

Lectrix opens her eyes and look at the foot of the bed. "Salem— What the hell??"

Her sleep was interrupted by a sudden head rubbing. She perked her head up a bit to look at her but her eyes were still half closed.

She closed her eyes again and nuzzled her face into the pillow again. "What time is it?..." She muffled.

She picked up her phone, looking at just the homescreen for the time. "7:10pm. You have somewhere to go?" she asks

She made some muffled grumbling sounds first before pushing herself up "Nah I just need to go home." She yawned before sitting at the edge of the bed and starts wearing her shoes.

She got up too, sitting at the edge of the bed as well. "I could walk you home—"

After she wore her shoes, she stood up and wiggled her feet a bit before picking up her coat and wore it. "Nah it's alright. I can ride my bike back home." She said before taking her phone and looked at the screen.

"Oh.. okay. But please be careful. Here— it’s my number. In case of anything." She displays her phone number from her phone.

Hafwen looked at Lectrix's phone then back to hers, adding her phone number to her contacts. "Ight, got ya number." She winked and chuckled before she even walked out the room then down the stairs. She also took her bag from the living room.

She watched her leave, but ran down the Stairs to see her out. And to say goodbye. So she goes towards the door, and opens it for Hafwen while being beside the door.

Hafwen said her goodbyes at Lectrix before leaving the house and lifted her bicycle up. "Got any plans tomorrow?" She asked before hopping in her bike.

She crosses her arms and leaned against the threshold of the door "Uhh, no actually. I’m completely free. Come as early and as late as you want. Mom already seems to love ya."

"Pfft,i thought I gave a bad impression." She chuckled "Anyways. See  ya!" She says before she even pedaled away.

Lectrix watched her bike off into the street. Eventually disappearing. But she was still able to hear the chain of her bike by a bit. Obviously till the sound faded. She still seemed worried.

As Hafwen rode off the street, she was pedaling faster and faster till out of nowhere before she even tried to turn the other side. A loud honk of a truck came that was the same speed as her bike. Hafwen turned her head behind her then her life flashes before her eyes.

The truck quickly stopped and the driver got out while muttering the word 'shitshitshitshit'.
