CHAPTER FOUR | ❝Mysterious blotches and secrets❞

┈┈┈┈

THE NEXT DAY I woke up with an aching back. Sitting up on the bed, I took shaky breaths as I pulled up my top to inspect my back. My thin fingers brushed over the smooth skin until it bumped against a mysterious small swell - causing an immediate burst of pain.

I cried out.

Even though I knew what it was, I still needed Maria to confirm that. So, I let my eyes wander around the room until it landed on the clock on the wall.

6:04 am.

I groaned as I realized the dangerous situation I was going to put myself in if I executed this plan. Maria was not at all a morning person and I didn't want to be the victim of her morning tantrums. She was a normal petite girl when she was awake but absolutely lethal while being asleep. She could kill a person with her sleepy glare if they ever had the unfortunate duty of waking her up.

And today it was mine.

So praying for my life, I strolled out of my room. I took a deep breath on reaching the light pink door which was plastered with Tom and Jerry and Barbie stickers all over it.

I tapped lightly on the door. However, there was no response, so I increased the intensity.

Still no answer.

Hence, I opened the door slightly, praying that she was decent. Her room was still mostly dark, illuminated only by a red LED in the shape of a moon that I gifted her last year. I glanced at her and seeing her decent form, I walked into the room.

Her bright pink sheets pooled around her petite body and her honey blonde hair was tied into a messy bun over the top of her head - looking like a bird's nest. Her lips were slightly parted as a trail of shiny liquid flowed from the corner of her mouth, and I internally cringed at that. The red light illuminated her face partly, causing her lashes to cast a long and dark shadow on her high cheekbones.

I thought of shaking her up like a normal civilized person would while waking someone up, but quickly dismissed it when the memory of her slapping me once came rushing back.

So I looked around for remotely anything that can help me in waking her up without being near her. My eyes scanned the room intensely until it landed on a glass of water at her bedside. And suddenly a brilliant, yet devilish idea popped into my mind.

I took the glass and removed its lid, my eyes glinting with mischief as I walked up to her and poured the contents on her without a second thought.

She quickly woke up with a satisfying yelp.

"What the fuck?! Krystal are you fucking out of your mind?" She glowered at me.

"Good morning to you too Maria." I smirked while placing the glass back in its original place.
