Beyond Souls

[3] Stealthy Hubby

Reign

Babi and I were in our usual place. I stared into the unknown. He pushed me, but I managed to hold his arms ended up for both of us to fall.

He didn't move or anything. I was trying to kiss him, but he shouldn't know that I love him. I don't even know his reaction if he knew that I fell in love with him. I don't want to end our friendship.

So instead, I just licked his cheeks. We laughed so hard.

Minutes later, he asked, "Are you into someone?"

Honestly... I didn't see that question coming. I showed him a picture of him tried dragging. By the looks of his face, he was shocked.

We stared again in the peaceful sky, while the waves' sound makes me really calm. I noticed Babi's rattle. So I asked him if he was okay, he simply responded, "yeah, I'm okay."

Time passed by, I heard snoring coming from my back. Sean fell asleep, so what I did was carried him to his room. I felt tired after that, so I decided to sleep beside him since his bed is large enough for 2 people.

Babi waked me up by blowing into my ears. He really knows me well. He even managed to find my tickle spots.

He asked me, "Yow, what time is it?"; being light-headed since I just woke up, I replied, "It's time for you to love me back." After I realized what I said, I just showed him the time using my hologram.

He was about to stand up, but I managed to get a grip of his hands and pulled him closer to me.

I told him that I want us to sleep more, but he insisted on preparing our breakfast. I don't want to starve, though, so... I loosen my grip and let him go.

15 minutes came by, and he came with a tray full of different kinds of food.

"Guess what, Babi? I have foodies!" He said. I was starving at that time already, so I sat as fast as possible and even clapped my hands since the long wait is over.

After we ate our breakfast, I helped him clean his house. When I say 'help,' I just watched tv while he does all the house chores.

He was very sweaty. I felt sorry. So I helped him to wash the dish wares, causing my shirt to get drench.

After we did all the house chores, he asked me if my dad was not looking for me since I did not go home last night.

Didn't he need me now? After all, I did? I sulked.

I joked about going home since he didn't need me now. And I regretted it

"And when you step out of that door, there will be no Babi at all," he said, shifting his voice.

I freaked out. I don't want to lose the person whom I had feelings for. I don't know what to do; instead, I run to him and hug both his legs.

He opened about having other friends to replace me, and that's where I explode. Who wants to be replaced? No one and no one should be.

"I'll kill them if they will. I just want to be your only friend and comfort." I responded to him.

Yes! I'm being possessive now... and I don't know how to control my words when I explode.

He said we're gonna call our friendship to quit if I'm gonna do it. I stand up, saying, "Okay, okay, just don't be angry with me" I pouted.

"Just don't be angry with me," he mocked.

He took a bath after he mocked me. I took a bath after he did.

The cold water makes me remembered my childhood. Where I don't have feelings for him yet. Where everything doesn't have malice yet. Where everything was fun; no pain, no tears, just... euphoria.

"Hello, what's your name?" the little boy asked.

"My mom said don't talk to strangers," I responded to him.

"My same is Sean de la Fuente. Now you know my name. Can I ask what's your name?" He asked. His voice was so angelic. It was the softest voice I've ever heard, more soothing than any girls out there.

"My name is Reign Darwin Knoxx, and...

I'm a cyborg," I said while my head bowed.

"That's nice! We just moved here yesterday, and you're my first friend here, and what's even nicer, you're unique!" He said while smiling.

The next day, I waited for him at the same spot we first met, the 'seaside.' I've waited hours just to see him, 'my friend.'

"Hi there, my friend! I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" He shouted while gasping air since he ran just to make it in time.

"Hi, do you want to play in the water with me?" I asked

Before he finished his words, "Hmmph, lemme think abo..." I grabbed his hands and ran onto the water.

We both got soaked in water. We both had so much fun. We enjoyed the moment...

I love this moment...

And kinda like...

this boy too. 😊

"BAABII?! What took you so long? It has been exactly 30 minutes since you went to take a bath!" Sean shouted, bringing me back to reality."

I panicked. I lost words; I don't know what to respond.

I just came with "O-okay Babi, b-but I forgot to b-bring my towel, can you g-get it? I left it on the sofa, please," I replied.

He then knocked on the bathroom door. When I opened the door, I saw Reign covering his eyes with one hand while the towel in his other hand.

I smirked. I purposely take the towel very slow just to make him wait in his position even longer.

"Faster! I don't want to be exposed in your body!" He retorted.

"As if you don't want it," I murmured. I think he didn't hear what I had just said since he asked, "What?".

I just simply responded, "Nothin', just get out so I can dry myself quickly."
