Chapter 35 Part 1 *Keep An Eye

~Sophia

“Pie.”

“Draky.”

“Why did you do that?” he says disapprovingly, as soon as Xyrielle walks out of the house.

“What do you want?” I ask, “Leave Rain all by himself?”

“It’s not that,” he says, scowling at the floor.

“What is it then?” I challenge.

“Never mind,” he mutters.

Rain pulls my hair to get my attention.

“What baby?” I murmur, tightening my hold on him because he might fall from my grasp.

“Ma. . . ma,” he says.

“He’s searching for his mother,” Draky says obviously. “What will we do when he starts to cry?”

“Give him his milk,” I suggest.

“What if he doesn’t like it?”

“Then we’ll do something about it if it happens.”

He grumbles something under his breath, and then asks, “Why did they name him Rain?”

“Maybe it was raining when he was born,” I guess.

“What if it was hot at that time, would they name him Sonny?”

“I don’t have an idea,” I say warily, and then I ask him, “What are we going to do now?”

“Can you still tutor me?”

“Yes,” I answer, “Let’s go back to the library.”

Draky carries Rain’s things and then we make our way towards the library. He resumes reading A Midsummer Night’s Dream as Rain pulls my hair and plays with it. It’s not as hard as before so I let him do it. Besides, I don’t want him to cry.

Rain’s speaking baby words that I don’t understand. He’s so cute. He looks like a baby angel.

When my arms start to feel stiff, I put him on my lap. He crawls towards Draky then.

“Take him off me,” he says, pushing Rain to me.

“Don’t you like him?” I ask, carrying Rain again.

“I can’t concentrate on this,” he mutters, not answering my question.

Rolling my eyes, I tell him, “We’re not loud, you’re just easily distracted.”

Rain stretches his hand to Draky.

“See?” I say, “He likes you, even though you don’t like him.”

“I didn’t say I don’t like him,” he mutters.

“It looks like it,” I say obviously.

Rain frowns at Draky because he doesn’t want to get him from me.

“Don’t worry Rain,” I say, “he’s just jealous because you’re much cuter than him.”

Draky barks out a laugh. He’s even slapping the table while doing so. Rain joins him, copying Draky’s moves. He has a nice laugh; a silvery kind of laugh that reminds me of Matt.
