Nimbus Clouds (Stethoscope Series #1)

Static Clouds

Chapter 5

We go back to reviewing kanina kasi nag-send sa akin si Grizz ng attachment sa isa ata naming klase.

"Twenty minutes?" He asked all of sudden. "It really help me last night." He put down his pen to look at me.

I must admit it, I enjoyed it. So, yeah don't be boring and dull, like what Otis told you.

"Deal. No strings attached." I offered my hand. He just stared at it and took him a minute before he take it.

That's the only I can do to safe myself. I'm slowly loving my life with him, but I just can't. I promised that I will be gone after this.

He don't want to see you, Ivo.

Ant, cussed some words. I saw that his pen wasn't functioning anymore and I can saw him panicked. Baka nahulog niya kanina. I get my other spare Pilot G-Tech C3. And put it down in his side of the table. He raised his head and look at me.

"Take extra care to that pen." Pinagbantaan ko siya gamit ang aking mga tingin. "I take them as my offspring. 'Pag 'yan nasira papalitn mo 'yan nang isang box na Pilot G-Tech C3." I hissed.

He shock his head and just finish what he started. Nag-alala pa ako nang makitang marami siyang sinusulat. I heard him once called it Digest.

I heard him yawned though he tried to stifle it. Mukhang antok na antok na siya. It is so unfair kasi wala man lang siyang eye bags kahit hindi siya matulog buong gabi tapos palagi pa siyang fresh. Para siyang laging bagong ligo napaka shiny ng buhok niya. Tinary kong pakelaman gamit niya para malaman ano secret niya sa buhok niya tapos shampoo lang?! I'm starting to think that it is so unfair! He also doesn't have to put so much effort just to look good. It is in his genes! Now I want to strangle my parent's perfect genes like why isn't they hereditary or I just got all the bad omen?

After hours of reviewing and tons of make out we just decided to watch.

We are watching Stranger Things while he is eating his popcorn and I'm devouring my chocolates. He put the container down the table.

"You want more?" I asked him regarding the popcorn.

"Nah, I'm good."

I was caught off guard when he pulled me and lay his head on my lap. He start to draw patterns on my knees. His touches... oh God!

"Why do you always watch these?" He point his fingers on the screen.

"There's just something about being a kid." He adjusted his position and look at me. "Being a kid... and free. The camaraderie of their friendship. The mother who's willing to safe her child. They are just so free and adventurous... and they're happy." I take a deep breath.

"And?" He squeeze my hands.

"And when all they have to think about is games, alien invasion and not the world's cruelty." I sigh. "I shouldn't have told you that." I forced a smile. I can't be too attached. Otis can fuck girls and forgot about them, so it must've been easy.

"I get it. Escaping reality because it sucks." He closed his eyes and the moment I know he is already sleeping. Kawawang bata ngayon lang nakatulog.

We stay like that for a while, but I need to pee so I get a pillow and put it to his head pamalit sa legs ko. Hindi naman siya nagising kaya tumungo na ako sa banyo. I paused what I'm watching. Naisipan ko na ring magpalit ng shirt. Grabe nakakahiya na nga kasi yung mga pangbahay niyang shirt designer clothes din.

Puro designer clothes pero walang pangkain. Lamang ka sa part na 'yun, Ivo.

I choose to wear one of his sleeveless shirts. Medyo mababaw yung hem sa armpit kaya nagsuot ako ng tube. I bun my hair kaso naputol yung tali ko. I search for ponytails in his room, I've never roam in here before even though I sleep here, yet I think it is still his privacy. There is this small table with drawers, I pushed my luck to find something I can use to tie my hair.
