Cherry Blossoms - Love in the air..

Chapter 9- Demon

Luciana

"Well? Surprised? He actually showed up on his own. He lives right down the hall from me, across from the elevator." he said wiping the tears that escaped as he laughed his ass out.

"Oh God, if he sees me in your house. How am I going to explain?" I cried out. Actually, I whispered. I don't want Luke to listen to me. Dylan kept laughing looking at me. I am going to murder him if he is trying to ruin everything.

"Go, hide in that room." he pointed towards a room in the corner. I ran inside forgetting everything. I closed the door and sat behind it without thinking for a second. I just felt like a dog who listens to its owner. I slowly leaned towards the door to listen to them. I should know what they are talking.

"Yo, Luke. Sorry, I had my headphones in and didn't hear you knock."

"Oh, I just came to pick my jacket."

"Yeah, sure. Come in."

I'm so jealous of Dylan, why can't I live across from Luke. But right now, I should make sure he doesn't find me here. Otherwise, he will think something wrong and I will never have my chance. I leaned back towards the door to listen to what's happening.

"Hang on, lemme go look for it."

"Okay, no rush."

When he says,'Okay'...The way he says it, I can tell he's smiling at the same time. Gosh! I wanna see his face right now. I kept listening to them controlling my desire to look for him.

"Ehh.. it's not here. Lemme see in the kitchen, you go look in the room over there." Dylan said. That room over there? Isn't it this room. Does he have another room? I can imagine his wicked smirk on his face. Jerk!

"Okay."

I got up and started running around the room in confusion. Where should I hide? Where? God help this poor child. I saw the closet opened lightly and went inside it. I am pretty sure I won't fit inside drawers. And his bed doesn't have much place under it.

"It's not here, Dylan." I heard Luke talking inside the room. I am begging you Luke. Please leave this room. Please leave right now.

"Try looking inside the closet, I must have kept it there." Dylan shouted from outside. A DEMON. He is really a demon. I slowly moved to the other side of the closet and hid behind some clothes. The door slowly creaked open. I could see the light entering the closet slowly from the room. I felt it to be in slow motion. I could see my end in slow motion. Luke is standing right outside. Please don't see me. Please. Please. I tried my best to not shiver and control my teeth which were making a sound.

"Ohh! It's here. I found it, Dylan" he shouted as he picked a jacket from the closet. I pulled my legs together and asked them to now shiver until he closed the door without noticing me on the other side.

"Oh. Yeah." Dylan shouted. I felt the 'yeah' to be more like a question. He wanted me to be caught. Jerk! Demon!

"I'm leaving now. Don't be late tomorrow." I heard the door close. I still couldn't stop shivering in the closet. I slowly opened the closet door as I heard the door close outside. I stepped outside the closer but still couldn't feel the ground under my legs. I felt quite uneasy and dizzy in fact. I stopped and stressed out way too much in the closet. I was less nervous when I was going for a blood test.

Dylan:

Why didn't Luke see her? Where did the dimwit hide? Crap! Plan failed! As I was sitting on the couch after sending Luke off, she came outside the room. She looked like she saw a ghost. She stared at me as if she wanted to punch me.

"What are you so mad about?" I asked her as she came outside. She kept staring.

"Honestly, I give you a chance to see your beloved Luke and this is the thanks I get?" I asked her as she kept staring. Knowing this girl's shy personality I expected her to be eagerly waiting to see Luke's face.

"You did it on purpose, Jerk." she shouted as she still couldn't control her legs from shivering. I was trying real hard to control my laughter. After a few seconds, she started fidgeting as well. Something is wrong. She should punch me, not fidgit in her own place.

"What's up with you?" I asked her as she continued fidgeting. After listening to my question, she started trembling and tightened her fist.

"Feel like hitting me?" I asked her getting up from my place.

"Umm..could you tell me which one is Luke's house?" she asked. I could see her face getting all red. Seriously kid! Grow up! You are completely hopeless.

"I can't believe you...come here."I groaned as I went towards the door. She followed me behind. I opened the door slightly to show her.

"See the door, right there? That's his house." I showed her his house which was like 10 meters from my house. It was right beside the door.

"Ohhh," she said looking at it. I could see hearts all around her. Little girl, you need to grow up. You can't live like this forever. She gave a short smile. The same smile, I saw when Luke gave her a hair clip. This girl, she smiles rarely and smiles only when it comes to Luke. God, she like a typical female lead from a retro movie who keeps smiling thinking about her love.

"Well, satisfied now?" I asked her as she kept blushing. Her ears were all red.

"Uh- huh." she said coming inside again.

"Lulu." I heard a voice from outside. This one is quite familiar. I turned around and say Luke standing outside the door. This is the craziest thing that could ever happened. Fun begins!
