C29 Twenty nine

"We'll take care of him, you can go home now," Jake said, clearly irritated.

Sai lightly tapped him, as if to say 'don't let it show that you're annoyed.'

"He's under my sister's watch," Samuel replied coldly.

"We'll take care of him," Izi added with annoyance.

"You can go home," Jake insisted.

"Oh, Samuel will go home once Angel and they arrive, because my sister asked me to watch over him," I explained.

"Does he know your sister?" Izi asked.

I nodded. "Yes."

"Of course, I know not only his sister but also his mom, dad, and most importantly, his sister. Is there a problem with that?" Samuel replied seriously.

I lightly hit him to get his attention. I shook my head to stop him. I didn't want Cyrus's friends to get mad because of Samuel's sarcasm.

"No problem, Bro. Thanks for watching over our friend's GIRLFRIEND," Hugo said, with a hint of sarcasm.

I rubbed my temple! Looks like I'll have another headache.

"Can you all just go downstairs if you want to eat? I'm feeling dizzy and heavy. I'll just rest for a bit,"

They nodded.

"Just call me if you need anything," Samuel said.

I just rolled my eyes and smiled at Wendrix,

They still didn't remove their gaze from Samuel as if one wrong move from him and they would attack him.

I massaged my temple and took a deep breath.

I glanced at my phone, which suddenly rang.

From: My Sun.

They said you're sick, Sai?

From: My Sun.

Did you catch a cold because I wasn't able to pick you up last night? Is that why you're sick?

From: My Sun.

Sorry, Baby. There was an emergency, I'll come to your apartment later.

From: My Sun.

I love you, My Moon. I always did.

I bit my lip as tears slowly formed in my eyes. I don't know why but it feels like with every letter I read, there's something sharp piercing my chest. I couldn't help but let out a sob.

I miss him.

I quickly typed a reply, feeling my hands shaking.

To: My Sun.

I'll wait.

I waited for his reply and slowly lied down. I kept glancing at my phone, waiting for his message.

His message that could either ease or worsen the pain I'm feeling.

I used to think these things were just childish. That this was just a small thing.

But this small thing... hurts so much... weighs so heavily.

Until I didn't notice the tears falling again and my eyes closing. Here we go again.

Why isn't he replying again? Is he busy with his ex again? What about me? Is this all there is to it? He texts and I reply then that's it?

I hope it won't be true.

Hopefully it's just a dream.

If this dream, I would choose not to wake up.

I won't forget that he said he loves me and that's what I'll hold on to... because he said it... because he said it directly looking into my eyes.

He loves me.

He said he loves me more than anything but why does he make me worry and hurt so much?"

I moved slightly to the side, feeling the weight of the blanket wrapped around my waist. I slowly opened my eyes, meeting Samuel's gaze as he watched me sleeping with crossed arms.

I glanced around and saw Cyrus's friends still busy with their phones, facing me. Irritated, I looked at the arm around my waist, so I forced myself to sit up slowly. I winced before returning to full wakefulness.

A tired but gentle face met my gaze. I trembled as I raised my hand to touch his cheek.

I hope this is real.

"C-Cyrus..." I whispered.

I felt my chest tighten suddenly. I let out a small sob, prompting me to slowly open my eyes.

"Why, Baby?" he asked, concern evident in his eyes as he rubbed them.

He sat up and held me, wiping away my tears. He swallowed hard, his breathing shaky. Why am I crying again?!

"I just missed you," I admitted, embracing him.

"I'm already here now, Baby," he said softly.

I nodded and just embraced his warm hug. Because I didn't know if he'd still be mine tomorrow or later. I don't want to let go of him... I'm afraid. I'm becoming paranoid!

"Baby... Please stop crying," he urged me.
