Love after Death

Chapter 9

PRESENT TIME

I've been lying here for a while, but I just can't seem to fall asleep. No matter how much I close my eyes, nothing's happening, it's like I'm only getting more awake. This is the first time I've felt this way, because before, whenever I lie down on my thick bed, I'd be asleep in less than ten minutes. I just can't get Liam, the son of the Devilla family, out of my mind...

"Why does my heart race when I'm with the son of Chairman Devilla?" I ask myself while gazing at the glow-in-the-dark stickers on my bedroom ceiling. With the lights off, it's so satisfying to look at the colorful stars...

I pushed the bed cover off my body and sat up. I rubbed my face before staring at the open door to the veranda. Only the moonlight lit up my room and the view outside. I walked over to my computer desk and turned on the PC. When the photo of my family appeared on the desktop, I couldn't help but smile. Every day, when I open my computer, it's always that photo, and I never get tired of it...

I sighed before tapping the Google search bar. I bit my nail, trying to gather my thoughts for the question I was about to type.

Wait! Maybe I shouldn't?

I didn't know if I should continue, I was afraid of what I might read. I was scared that it might confirm what I was feeling.

Arghhhh!

Do I like him??

A big F!

I just saw him earlier, but when I smelled his perfume and saw his face in front of me in the elevator, I suddenly felt something strange. It was as if I'd been with him before, like I missed him. That's exactly how I felt like my heart was tickled, and it made me feel light and fluttery.

"How... is it possible... to fall in love... with a guy that you've just... met for once?" I said aloud while typing the words slowly. I pressed enter, then let out a deep breath.

In less than three seconds, many links appeared that could answer my question...

It's what we call love at first sight.

If you fall in love with someone you don't know yet, it means that you don't care about their personality, which is the most important thing in love...

Damnnnnn!!!

As I scrolled down with my mouse, my hands were sweating, and my brows furrowed.

It's true love.

I immediately stood up and rubbed my forehead. "What a big F!! You're all liars!!" I quickly sat back down and grabbed my mouse. I selected all those words and cut them... "Is it... possible... to fall in love... with the... same... gender if you are a straight man?" I repeated those words aloud, pressing the enter button firmly.

Yes.

I immediately stood up again, my mouth hanging open. I rubbed my eyes and covered my face with my hands. I took a deep breath and peeked at the screen, leaving just a small opening in my fingers.

And,

Yes.

So, I slapped my forehead and immediately pressed the power button on the CPU. "This can't be happening!!! Am I gay??" I quickly stood up, sighed deeply, and ran to my comfort room.

"No!! This can't be! No! No! No!!!"

Once I reached the lavatory, I turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face. I looked up at the mirror and tapped my cheeks a bit... "You're not gay! You like big boobs... It's nothing! It's nothing..." I said calmly while looking at my face. But my eyes widened when the word YES appeared in the mirror, and I remembered earlier... "Arghh!! No!! You're not gay, okay? You're not gay..." I rubbed my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when the word disappeared from the mirror. "What's happening to you? You're a playboy! Mr. Chic! Mr. Chic! You have so many women, okay?" I smiled and turned away from the mirror.
