THIRTY TWO
2506 Words
“Can you please stop bothering me? Just… go home” I said as I walked through my small kitchen and got some bottled water in the fridge. I can't believe that this is happening to me.
“Are you commanding me? No way. I told you, I won't go home until I get answers from you” Makara stood up and followed me there. She showed me her firm expression.
What would I expect? That she will listen to me? Oh god.
“You can't get any answers! I won't be telling you anything”
“I will stay here then *grin* I guess you are not new to having a woman on one roof right? Like before?”
Wait, who is she referring to?
“What?”
“That… hmm… What's the name again? I forgot”
Wait, I think I know now. It's been a while since I saw her…
“Nemesis?”
“Right, Nemesis. I am intrigued by you two. Are you guys dating or something but now you broke up?”
What the? Dating? I never thought that way. Never.
“We are not dating” then I brought back the bottle of water inside the fridge. But when I turned around she became closer to me.
“Then what are you two then? You are living in one house! What do you call that? Uhmm… just… f**k buddy?”
“What the hell no! There is nothing going on between us! We are just friends!” She always says a lot of nonsense things! I immediately walked away from her and went back to the small living room.
“Woah, woah, too defensive. Of course, you would say that. You don't have to deny it, Thanatos. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me *wink*” So she is really convinced that Nemesis and I are dating? That's not even possible!
“You are really trying to annoy me, don't you?! I swear, we are just friends. She is more like an older sister to me”
“Older? She doesn't look older”
“If you only know” Nemesis is a spectral being that lived a very long time ago. Longer than me. It is forbidden for us to fall in love and Nemesis? She is good at being a cold annoying friend. I am assured that she feels nothing to me other than being her younger friend. Look at us, between her and me, I am weaker. I fell.
I fell for this woman…
In the past, of course. I should handle my feelings for her now.
“What? Why? Did she undergo plastic surgery that's why she looks so fine and young? What hospital is that and who is the surgeon? Sometimes I feel insecure about the fats under my chin. I feel like I want to--” I didn't let her finish what she is going to say because it is nonsense, again.
“No, there is no surgery that happened okay? She… she is just like that. *sigh* You won't understand”
“Then try telling me! You don't know what I am capable of understanding”
Well, understanding my part is way more not understandable by humans like her. She may not even believe me if I tell her everything.
“No. I won't tell you anything okay? You are just wasting your time here” then I went to my couch and I sat down. Damn, it's so exhausting to talk to her and convince her not to ask about me.
“Hmmm… how about you? Did you waste your time stalking me?”
“I am not… I am not stalking you”
“Up until now you are trying to deny it?!” she frowned as she walked next to me.
“I am really not stalking you and I don't like you”
When I said the last few words, I saw the surprised expression in her eyes. But then… she began to smirk.
What the hell?
“Wow, really? Are you… sure about that? You don't like me huh?” she moved closer to me! I DID NOT EXPECT THIS!
My heart is starting to pound very fast again! Damn it! How can I control this damn heart of mine?!
“W-what are you doing?” I asked as I gulp in front of her, she is getting closer and closer! I can't do anything because I was cornered here on my couch. If I just knew, I shouldn't have sat down here.
“Well, I am just making sure… If you really don't like me” she put both of her hands at the sides of the couch making it difficult to escape. It seems like I was caught off guard right now
“I… I d-don't… Can you please move away f-from me, Ma'am Antoinette? Damn it I am stuttering!
“What if I don't want to? What if I want to get close?”
“I w-will push you”
“Really? You will? You can? Then do it” I can now feel her warm breath in my cheeks! It seems like she is seducing me or something! This should not be like this!
“M-ma'am Antoinette please”
“Please what?” I can see that she is enjoying this! She likes to see me like this.
“M-move”
“*chuckles* Why are you stuttering all of a sudden, my dear? Do you like this kind of close-up view? How about… touching you like this? Do you like it?”
DAMN! I HAD GOOSEBUMPS WHEN HE CARESSED MY SHOULDERS UP TO MY EARS! WHAT THE HECK IS SHE DOING?!
I tried not to look at her because I really can't look straight into her eyes! I am really having a hard time here. I can't explain what I am feeling right now.
“S-stop, please”
“Why? I am having fun seeing you like that. You just told me that you don't like me but your actions show the other way around.”
DAMN. DAMN. DAMN THANATOS! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!
“I really don't…l-like you”
“Hmmm… what if… I kiss you?” What the?!
When I saw her leaning for a kiss, I pushed her already. I can't take it anymore.
“Please stop!” I said. The next thing I saw now is that she is sitting on the floor.
My goodness, I pushed her too hard!
“Woah! You did push me!” Oh no, she looks so mad. Oh no.
“I'm… I am sorry, I tried to warn you but you did not listen” I immediately stood up and went near her to help her get up. She grabbed my arm as she stood up.
“You really are something, Thanatos. That is why I want to know more about you. While I am enjoying seeing you annoyed *laugh*”
She is laughing? I thought she was mad at me already?
“Are you really like that Ma'am Antoinette?”
“What?”
“You always enjoy watching people having the worst time of their lives?”
“Well, it is fun for me”
FUN? HOW CAN THAT BE FUN?!
“What are you, a psycho?” Oops, I shouldn't have said that. It just slips on my mouth.
“Hey, watch your words there. I am still your boss, Thanatos. You might almost forget”
“I am… sorry, Ma'am Antoinette. I am just wondering”
“I am staying here not for us to talk about myself okay? I am staying here to talk about yours so stop wondering and asking things about me, i***t!” then she pushed me, but not too hard. Not as hard as I did.
“Don't I have the right?”
“Yes, you don't have, Thanatos”
“But you do?”
“Of course. I am your boss. I need to know everything. Besides, you tried to tell me that I also don't remember anything in the past...that seems like YOU DO” she walked towards the door of my bedroom as if she was inspecting it. Why is she doing that? Is she going to look at my room?
“That is a mistake. You should have tried to forget that”
“But you, you are having what they call that… memory loss or such… uhm… they call it…”
“Amnesia?”
“Yes, amnesia! You have amnesia but it is somehow intriguing that you know my childhood nickname. How is that possible? Who are you really?” She stopped inspecting my door and turned around to look at me.
“You don't have to know, okay? Why don't you just ignore me?”
“How? First, you were the one who reached out to my house, and then you went to my company to become one of my employees and there was a time that you hugged me because you wanted to protect me. Now, how can I ignore that, Thanatos?”
“I was just being so impulsive that time. I am not thinking straight. Consider it that way”
“You don't look that impulsive to me.” Then after that, she faced my door before she opened it. She went inside my room! Damn it, it's not cleaned!
“Please, just consider that way”
“No. You are hiding something, you are hiding a lot of things and I won't stop unless you tell me your secret” she looks around my room. I followed her there as I tried to fix at least my bed.
“Even if you are right that I am having secrets, why would I tell you? It is a secret!”
“Well, I will make sure that your life will be more miserable if you don't tell me that secret of yours”
“Why are you so obsessed about knowing everything about me?!”
“Hey! Did you just yell at me?!”
“I am sorry, okay!”
“You are still raising your voice to me!”
Okay, nothing here is going to be better. This woman! Arghh!
*Knock! Knock!*
“Thanatos? Are you alright? What is happening over there?”
SAVED! AT LAST!
I heard Dianna outside so I immediately went to the front door of this house.
“Dianna! Thank goodness, wait for a sec”
“Oh your other girl showed up huh, is she the reason why you and Nemesis broke up?” and of course, Makaria followed me.
“I told you, Nemesis is not my girlfriend” then I quickly opened the door showing Dianna outside.
“Okay, so she is?” As soon as Makaria pointed at her, her eyes went wide. Of course, she'll be surprised that our boss is here.
“Ma'am Antoinette? Y-you are here”
“Yes, I am here darling”
“W-what are you two talking about? Who is Nemesis?” I can say that Dianna is confused right now. It is because of this annoying woman named MAKARIA!
“Oh wait, so she doesn't know, Thanatos?”
“Stop it now, please! You're making some misunderstandings here” Then I tried to touch her mouth to stop talking, but of course, she took it away immediately.
“What is going on, Thanatos?”
“Well Dianna, he had this woman before she moved here in this house” the heck! Dianna is talking to me but she just joined and said what she wanted to say!
“And that woman is my friend, nothing more.” I continue what Makaria started saying. I know she is about to tell her that Nemesis is my girlfriend which is not true.
“Ooooh, okay yes she is. How about the two of you? Are you just FRIENDS also?”
“Yes, we are. Can you just please stop Ma'am Antoinette?” she is making an issue here and I need to stop her from doing so!
“Good. So there will be no problem if I sleep here tonight. Right?” Is she crazy?! What is she talking about right now?!
“What? W-why are you going to sleep here…ma'am?” Dianna is now more confused about what is happening. Damn it. I can see her eyes, it is clueless.
“I think Thanatos and I had a lot of things to catch up” I was surprised when Makaria wrapped her arms around my shoulders. What the?
“Catch up… I don't understand”
“Oh darling Dianna, don't worry you don't need to understand okay?” She looks like she is mocking my friend! So I shrugged her arms around my shoulders and frowned at her.
“Stop it, Mara please!”
“Oh, so you call me by that name… again. Have you decided already, Thanatos?” She just smiled and looked me in the eyes. So I just took a deep breath before I spoke.
“Yes. You are not going to sleep here.”
“Oh, come on. You know that it is not what I am talking about.” she went close to my face again! The hell!
“I am sorry, Ma'am Antoinette and Thanatos. It seems like I have no idea about what you are two talking about so I should leave”
“Yes!” “No!” So we both spoke at the same time but we had spoken a different answer. I don't want Dianna to leave because she might be my last hope to stop Makaria!
“Yes, she will leave. That's an order, Thanatos”
“O-okay ma'am. Bye. Thanatos, I'll go now. Just call me if you need anything” OH NO! DAMN IT! SHE'LL JUST LEAVE LIKE THAT?
So will she do anything as long as it is Makaria's command? Really? She is too afraid of her.
“He won't call darling. I have everything he needs. Okay? Bye,” Makaria started to push her away before she closed and locked the door. Damn. So it is just the two of us now, again.
My only hope is gone!
“What the hell is that?!”
“What the hell? You always forgot that I am the boss and you'll do everything that I say”
“No!” then I grumpily walk towards my room. And she just followed.
“You won't really gonna tell me everything?”
“No. I said no, please” I frowned at her before I sat down on my bed. But…
I was surprised when she began to lay down beside me.
SHE LAID DOWN ON MY BED AS IF IT IS HERS!
What the?!
“Okay, then if that is the case, I will sleep here. I will sleep next to you *wink*”
