Error Heart

I quickly backed away from him.

"Where are you going?" He arched his head to the side.

"I-I..." He was stunning.

A complete work of art.

Every beautiful word you could possibly think of.

A lion ready to attack his prey.

I inhaled quite a lot of oxygen to process everything that was going on.

First, leo functioned all by himself.

Yesterday, he was just a complete mess composed of metals and plastic, and right now? How the hell...

"You looked confused. Why?" He then arched his head on the other side.

"What happened to you?" I asked him, totally confused and dazed at the same time.

"Why don't you ask yourself, you are the one who made me." He answered without giving away any hint of emotion.

Well, what do I expect? He IS a cyborg after all.

"I left you here yesterday, and you were actually lying in my makeshift bed and now... Look at you." I pointed at him and my eyes fell onto his body, Oh God.

He is not wearing anything!

I quickly shifted my gaze to the computer beside him and took a step back.

"Where are you going?" Why does he always ask that?

He took a step forward which made me take another step back.

"Where are you going?" He asked again.

"I-I... I'm just going to get you some clothes." I turned my back from him and walk towards the door.

Until someone grabbed my wrist and turned me towards him.

"Where are you going?" He was looking straight into my eyes.

"Take me with you." He said still not breaking the eye contact.

And let me tell you one thing, it's killing me.

He's breathtakingly handsome, guess I should pat myself on the back for making him this gorgeous.

"Take me with you." He repeated.

"I cannot." I snatched my wrist from his grip and continued my journey towards the door.

"Take me with you." He quietly announced again.

I take my chances and gave him a glance; he was quietly standing in the middle of the room. His tanned skin sparkling under the light of the overhead lamp, his ruffled hair that was almost sticking in his face, and his eyes piercing right through my soul.

Boy, he looks dangerous.

"I'll be right back. Okay?" And with that, I sprinted through the house as quickly as possible.

Rummaged through the cabinets of my father for clothes.

"What on earth are you doing Lea Marie?!" Mom shouted when she saw what I was doing.

"Mom, mom... Look. This one's urgent. I need clothes." I then continued my search.

Mom grabbed my arm to make me stand. She shooed me out of the way and rearranged the clothes, holding it one by one like it was a rare gem bound to get broken with one wrong move.

"You shouldn't touch your father's clothes! If you wanted clothes you should look at your own room!" Mom shouted emotionally at me. She was on the verge of crying, and I felt pity for her.

My dad died when I was 8. He was working with his research team when an explosion occurred on their laboratory. Nobody got out alive.

But dad was able to send his last message to me. Mom never knew about this, and I have no intentions of telling her.

I'm keeping it a secret.

 For now.

"I'm sorry mom. I shouldn't have..." I cut of myself and kneeled down to retrieve the clothes that was scattered on the floor.

"You said you'll be right back." Mom was startled and started looking for something inside the cabinet.

I was about to cover leo for I know he was naked when I noticed that he has put on some clothes.

"Where did you get that?" I asked him, my brows almost meeting. For I don't understand how he does this strange things.

"Lea, MOVE. Get out of the way." Mom was instantly holding a baseball bat, she shoved me and I fell butt first on the floor.

"MOM, NO! I KNOW HIM!" I stood up and made myself a human barrier between mom and leo.

"Who is he then?" My mom, who's still on her 'touch-my-daughter-and-you'll-eventually-end-up-leaving-this-house-without-balls' was still holding her baseball bat ready to aim.

"He's—" I was cut off by my sister when she suddenly hugged leo on his knees.

My mom's grip on her baseball bat tightened even more and was about to attack when my sister loosened her hug from leo's knees and backed away.

"You're finally awake." She smiled prettily.

Mom dropped her baseball bat that fell on the floor with a loud thud and a confused person was painted on her face.

Leo bended his knees to pick up my sister and she instantly nestled on his neck.

"All thanks to you." He quietly whispered on my sister's ears.

That was my cue to open my mouth and stare at the both of them as they continue to harass my brain with whatever was happening around here.
