Unknowingly, my heart faltered at the mere act of her. She was acting like a child that was deprived of the liberty to get what she wanted.
Judging at how she cutely pouted and stumped her feet, I instantly knew that I had finally wormed myself into her heart.
Halt from walking up to keep up with her, I amusingly looked up at her with a broad smile. Only then did she realize that I wasn’t actually following behind her.
“Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to come up with me?” She called out, still playing to be angry at me.
“Huh?” That was all I could say to her.
“What? If so, then you stay there!” She angrily spouted and hurried her pace upstairs.
It made me laugh wholeheartedly at her cuteness, admiring her at the same time, even looking at her losing her temperament.
How can she get angry over a small matter and even take it seriously? Huh! Woman! They sure are interesting, it's like getting yourself knocked off for no apparent reason…
With this in mind, I hurried to follow her but it was too late that when I almost came up to her, she slammed the door shut and locked it from inside.
Luckily, I was alert when stepping back. If not, I sure would be kissing the wooden doon.
“Hey, why are you so mean?” I acted protesting. Might as well play by ear with her.
“Don’t talk to me! I'm asleep!”
“Oh, are you? Then who am I talking to now?”
“Who do you think?” She angrily responded. I don't even know if she was serious or just playing with me.
“ALE… come on, open the door.” I faintly knocked on the door and pleaded for her to open it. But sadly, she was playing even harder on me.
“Ale… Where am I going to sleep?”
“ On the floor!”
“Okay, if you say so.” saying this, I composed myself, preparing to launch. I leaned against the wall as I slowly slipped down and sat on the floor waiting for her to open. Followed by a long silence, we both waited for one of us to break the border.
I just knew that she would soon open the door for me, so I sat there quietly and patiently as I waited for her to let her guard down. While on my butt, I happily looked back on how we were used before, up to what we have become right now. Wondering how I managed to be able to make it through her iced rock walls.
Not long after, I realized that I had been sitting there for a few good endless minutes already.
“Wait! Was she serious about me having me sleep here?” I asked in silence while rubbing my nape in confusion.
“Ale…” I called out once more, but she didn't respond.
After waiting for a few more seconds when she, on the other side of the door, didn't respond, I finally decided to stand up to get the spare keys that we intentionally kept for further purposes. What I didn't expect, was that it'd be used in a situation like this.
