The Boy Next Door

Chapter 13: Back Home

I moaned from the tapping sun-light against my face, wondered
how long I'd been sleeping. I blinked, shut my eyes, blinked
again. I yawned, managed to fully open both eyes.

I was still wearing yesterday's dress.
I took seconds to realise where I was, all the memories from last night flashed through my eyes. How Cruz saved me? How we ended up sleeping here?

Cruz was not in the room, I checked my phone and it was eight am. Where the hell Cruz is?
I dragged myself out of the small bed and rubbed my temples. My head was heavy. I saw the pillow border between us knocked down.

Did something wrong happened between us? Ohh fuck! What the hell I am thinking about. Nothing happened, we both were damn tired.
Suddenly I heard someone laughing.
I arranged my messy hair into a bun and headed out.

I slowly opened the room door and saw Cruz laughing with the old couple. The woodcutter and his wife were sitting on an old shabby couch and Cruz was getting them breakfast.
I stood there smiling at the lovely seen. It was nice to see Cruz respecting and enjoying with the old couple.

"Ahem. Ahem." I cleared my throat to make them realise my presence.
"Ohh! you are awake, your husband is an awesome guy, how lucky you are!" The lady smiled. I faked a smile back which made Cruz chuckle.

"I think we should leave." I suggested Cruz with a forced smile. "Yes!! But first have something to eat" He smirked.

●●●

After eating the breakfast the old lady forced us to have a photo with them.
I and Cruz were in between them, standing like a couple, his hands over my shoulder. After the photo we headed outside.

We were about to cross the threshold of the small cottage when the lady said, "Do visit us again." "Of course we both will." Cruz winked at her.
"No! Not only two but also your baby," the lady said which made my cheeks turn red. Ugh! This is to much. I glared Cruz who was also blushing at the lady's comment.

"The bus stand is a mile away." Cruz informs."Its okay, my legs are good and strong." I reply. We were walking when suddenly my feet got trapped in an animal trap which made me tumble down.

"Ouch!" I groaned. "Are you okay?" He asked helping me stand. "Ouch-Ouch." I held his arm support."I think your ankle is sprained, do you need some help?" He asked

"No am good." I said stumbling.
But suddenly I felt someone picking me up in bridal style.

"I can walk," I state. "No you can't, bus stand is not so far, I will carry you." He shrugs. I could smell his cologne.

I didn't argue much as I knew it was useless. He is very stubborn. Cruz has changed, I should not say but I miss that old Cruz. Blake-1 Cruz-1.

"Come on." he said dropping me down. "Jeez, that could be a little polite" I yelled. "What could be a little polite?" He mimicked me.

"The way you dropped me." I state.
"Ugh! it was you? I thought I was carrying a heavy buffalo" he taunted.

"A chimpanzee saying buffalo" I teased sticking my tongue out at him, he repeats the same. "Don't ever call me that again." He frowned.

"Okay! Chimpanzee." I smirked.
"Yes, buffalo," he said running after me. I did not realise when the pain in my ankle disappeared. He was chasing me, he suddenly stopped seeing the bus coming.

We entered the bus and chose seats far-far away from each other. Soon the bus dropped us. We headed towards our houses.

I saw Brook sitting outside with his face burried in his hands."Brook." I shouted. "Blake!" He exclaimed in surprise and came running towards me pulling me into a deep-warm-lovely hug. I hugged him back.

"Where the hell were you? I was damn scared, and why is he with you? You never stay so long at parties?" He showeres questions and a tear rolled down my cheek. I started sobbing.

"What the hell, why my sister is crying?" He shouts at Cruz, then turns back to face me. "What happen?" He wiped my tears. I hugged him back tightly, then I realised how much I missed him and the way he care's for me.

"I think, I should leave." Cruz said with a soft smile and we both nodded in unison. We went inside the house and he got a glass of water for me, I loved the way he protects me and pampers me.

"Tell me everything. What happened?" He asked sitting infront of me.

"Mhm Jasper happened, he tried to Molest me because of revenge." I sluttered. "Oh my god!" He gasped, shocked and pulled me into a hug.

I could hear him cursing himself that how stupid he was for letting me go to a party with a stranger. "What revenge?" He asked. "Jasper was Jessica's brother, I mean is." I murmured, holding back my tears.

"What!" He exclaimed in shock as his eyes widened and Jaw hung loose.
"Yes! But Cruz saved me." I tell him everything in detail. "This all happened because of me." He moves his hand through hus hair, in regret.

"No nothing happened because of you, if you had known it, you would have never let it happen." I calmed him down.

"I really owe to Cruz." He whispered.
"No, I returned his favour by getting him fruits and water in that jungle." I smiled.

"Blake you don't understand, you can never return his favour, he nearly saved your life." Brook said cupping my cheeks in his hands.

"Hmm! By the way what you did with Jessica? I want to know, was Jasper right?" I asked. "I will tell you Blake, but its not the right time."

"No, I want to know everything." I said. "Okay! I will tell you everything but first you need some rest, I promise I will tell you." I nod and head towards my room.

I take a hot shower and slip inside my cozy bed. I really need rest but I am really very eager to know what was Brook and Jessica's history.
