Eric's POV:
Riiiiiiing!
My phone rang but I did not want it to disturb my sleep so I ignored.
I'm tired anyways. Last night I put the kitten I found on adoption and had to deliver it to it's new foster home as dad won't let me keep pets in his house. I barely got to sleep.
Riiiiiing!
Riiiiiiiiiiiing!
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
"Damnit!" I yelled out as I threw my pillow on the ground out of anger
Fuck this b***h!
I took my phone and answered it. An unknown caller.
The moment I answered the tone, I heard a voice ordering me.
"Get ready in 30mins, I'm picking you up. We have an interview with the press." He said and hung up immediately
Just who does this Control Freak think he is to order me around?
"Whatever." I mumbled and turned off my phone as I went back to sleep but before that I saw one last message
"Don't make me come get you."
As if I'm scared of him.
***********
I sneaked out of my house only to run and find a beautiful garden. There were so many flowers, fruits over there.
The birds were singing happily.
I plucked a flower that looked like a little star and admired it's beauty but then I saw a Shadow growing bigger before me.
I turned around to see a giant.
"It's my garden and only I can play here. Trespassers shall be prosecuted." The giant said as he picked up and tried to strangle me
I finally saw the face. It was Chase with two horns on his head. He was laughing at my misery.
"s**t!" I woke up immediately from my nightmare
What a terrible version of the kids story 'A selfish giant'
This guy scares me even in my dreams.
I sighed and took the glass of water beside my bed on the table but saw the jar was empty.
"Mrs. Beth?" I called out to our maid but no response
I got up myself unwilling to move away from my comfortable position
I feel hungry. Since I'm out of bed anyways, might as well get something to eat.
I saw my mom in the kitchen. I went ahead and gave her a tight hug.
She smiled and kissed my forehead
"Morning dear."
I snuggled closer to her. Moms smell so nice, so comfy. They smell like home.
"Mom, can I get some more juice?" I heard someone say and walk towards us
"Sure dear, I'm getting some right away."
Mom replied with a smile
I looked at the person before me with absolute anger.
He had his mouth completely stuffed with food
"Why are you here?" I asked and realized my mom was suspicious
"I mean why are here at this time?" I changed my tone to a sweet one
What the hell is he doing here?
And what's with him calling my mother 'mom'?!
He's f*****g getting on my nerves!
Damnit!
"Well, I came here because I missed you and when I got here mom insisted so sweetly for breakfast so I couldn't refuse." He gave fake killer smile
My mom looked really pleased
"I really like Chase and I'm happy to see you have chosen someone worthy for you. You guys suit each other."
Suit each other? From what angle?
"You guys go and sit. I'll bring your breakfast." Mom said as Chase raised his empty glass like a little kid making my mom laugh
She ruffled his hair tiptoeing because of his 6 feet height.
"And juice too." She said
"Mom, we'll be in my room." I said as I dragged Chase all the way to my room
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I closed the door
"Mmm.. breakfast?" He raised the waffle he had in his hand.
He put the last piece in his mouth and dusted his hands
"Why? They don't serve breakfast at your place?" I asked with a mocking smile
"This place is tacky. Mine is much bigger." He said completely ignoring what I said and looking around my place
"Are you even listening to me?" I asked putting my hands up in the air in disbelief
"I called you but you had the nerve to turn off your phone. How do you think you should be prosecuted for breaking the rules?" He asked making me remember my dream
I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts
"I don't feel well today, can't we postpone that?" I muttered
"You're just fine." He raised an eyebrow
"Physically..but my mental health needs rest." I muttered
"Put it on rest tomorrow, get ready for now. You already wasted time. Go, fast!" He ordered
Bloody Control Freak!
"What are you waiting for?" He asked and I rolled my eyes and I went to cupboard to look for clothes.
I randomly took out a suit and was on my way to the bathroom but I heard a little squeaking noise and saw a little creature staring right at me.
A mouse!
I screamed at the top of my lungs and Chase was confused but when he saw the mouse, I already got on the top of the bed and started jumping
"Get rid of it!" I yelled out
"Wait what? Okay, come down first." He said but the mouse ran towards the beds and I ended up putting a step out of the bed
"Careful!" Chase warned but it was too late and I fell
"Oww!" I hurt my elbow as I fell on top of Chase whose hands had a grip on my waist
I paused for a second when I realized how close our faces were
Eric
Turn away your face and get up
I heard my inner voice but still I kept staring at him like an i***t.
His face is so my type.
But I realized it wasn't only me. His eyes were staring right into mine and I felt his hands travelling all the way upwards from my waist.
His fingers interwined with mine and we rolled over.
This time he was on top of me.
Get up!
I heard the inner me but I just can't make myself to not go with the flow. Chase was still had this desiring look in his dark eyes.
Our faces were close enough for each of us to feel the other's hot breath.
He squeezed my hand tighter and kissed my temple as I subconsciously closed my eyes
"Are you guys okay? What with the commotion?" My mom opened the door and saw us in that position
"I'm sorry, I forgot to knock." She said making both of us realize what we were doing
We pulled away at once.
I looked at Chase who opened his mouth to say something but didn't.
"Get ready fast." He said as he turned his head away and left
If I remember his expression at that time, then did I just see him getting all flustered?
