The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 23: I Love you.



It's 6:30 AM

"Guess I can't sleep now."

As I was lying on my bed, I heard footsteps coming towards my room.

It's my mom. She is here to wake me up, like always.

I hid under the blanket. The door opened, and the footsteps stopped near my bed.

It's my mom. When she lifts my blanket, I will shock her before she does the usual thing.

My mom lifted my blanket. Now is the time.

I left the blanket and said, "I am awake!"

"Wah..."

"Hmph, shocked you, right? That's what happens when you...wait for... Elena? What are you doing here?"

"Your mom told me to wake you up, so..."

"No, what are you doing here? In my house?"

"I said I would come here on Sunday, remember?"

"You did, but it's only 6:30 AM yet, and weren't you ignoring me?"

"Huh, ignoring you?"

"Yes."

"I wasn't ignoring you."

"You were, you didn't reply to my texts and calls, and you didn't even log in yesterday."

"That was..."

"Was?"

"Selena, my twin sister, came home yesterday from my grandparent's house, and my parents told me to spend my time with her so--"

"That's no reason to ignore me!"

"Listen to me."

"Okay."

"I told my parents I don't want to spend my time with Selena, so my father took my phone and locked my room, and so I couldn't reply to any of your calls and couldn't play the game either."

"..."

"And today, my sister was going back to my grandparents, and my parents are going there too, so I asked them to drop me here."

"I see, so that's why."

So she wasn't angry? Wasn't she ignoring me? I am glad.

By the way, Selena is her twin sister, younger twin sister. She lives with her grandparents.

"Why did you surprise me when I tried to wake you up?"

"I thought it was my mom."

"Why would you do that to your mom?"

"It's because of the way she wakes me up."

"The way she wakes you up? She does something when she wakes you up?"

"Yeah."

"And that is?"

"...iss me."

"Huh?"

"Ki... me."

"What?"

"She kisses me."

"On the lips?"

"On the cheek! What are you imagining?"

"I thought...."

"Thought?"

"Never mind that, but why do you hate it when she kisses you on the cheek?"

"I am a teenage boy; it's embarrassing!"

"What's embarrassing about that?"

"What's embarrassing, you ask?"

"How would you feel if your father woke you up with a kiss?"

"I would strike him that he would never come near me again."

That's scary, but I hope now she understands.

"I get it, I am okay if my mom wakes me up with a kiss, but if it's my dad, then I will hit him."

"See? Same with me, it's embarrassing when my mom kisses me, but if my dad wakes me up with a kiss, then...yeah, I would hit him too."

I just imagined that. I get why Elena would hit her dad.

"Das?"

Looking at her face reminds me of what happened that night.

"I am sorry.", I apologized to her.

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?"

"About what happened that day. You were afraid of the sea, and I teased you, and then that happened."

"It's okay; there is no need to apologize."

"Elena..."

"8 years ago, I went to the beach with my parents, me and Selena, and then the wave came and..."

Eight years ago? I have read about it. Eight years ago, a mini-tsunami suddenly came to the beach. Everything on the beach was destroyed. No one died, but many were injured.

So she was one of the victims? Eight years ago, she said? She is 19 now that means eight years ago she was only 11, which happened to her 11. Anyone would be scared.

"I am sorry."

I hugged her; I am hugging her tightly; she is soft.

"I am sorry," I kept apologizing.

"It's okay; I am okay, you are here with me; if you are with me, then I will always be fine."

"Elena."

I leaned forward to kiss her. This is the first time I took the initiative.

"Das..."

Her face is red.

"Das, say you love me."

"What?"

"Please say it."

"I...I love you. "

"I love you too."

She kissed me; her lips were soft.

"Das."

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me."

I kissed her, again and again. We kissed many times.

She grabbed my hand and put it on her chest…

"What are you doing?"

"It's okay."

"Huh?!"

"It's okay..."

Her breasts are soft; I am kissing her, her lips are soft too.

Isn't this bad? She has been in my room many times, and I have been in her room many times, but something like this has never happened.

We are still kissing. Her lips are soft; her breasts are soft. 

Dammit!

I don't even know what I am saying anymore.

This is pretty bad! If we keep going, then…

"Das, kiss me more..."

Dammit, I don't care anymore.

We kept kissing; we have kissed many times before, but this time it's different. We have kissed outside often at the park, in school, in the library, but we have never kissed at home.

Last time we got caught kissing in the park, but here, no one can see us...here?

I saw my mom peeking from the door. I pushed Elena back, and she noticed my mom as well and hid under the blanket.

"M-mom? H-how long have you been there?"

This is pretty bad; it's embarrassing. She saw us kissing. Having your mother see you kissing, that's the last thing any son wants.

"From 'Das, kiss me more.' "

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Seeing my son kiss his girlfriend, I am having mixed feelings."

"...."

"I sent Elena to wake you up; she didn't come down, so I thought I should check, and when I came here..."

"...."

"I don't mind if you kiss her, she is your girlfriend, you can do whatever you want but keep in mind that your parents are still downstairs and if you are going to do something early in the morning, then make sure to close the door."

"..."

"If you hadn't noticed me, then I am sure you would have gone all the way."

"W-what are y-you t-talking about?"

My mom walked to my bed and…

"Elena, come out."

"It's embarrassing; I can't show you my face."

"It's okay; as I said, I don't mind, but I think you shouldn't do that until you graduate from high school."

"Mom!"

"Fine, fine, I get it. Come on now, Elena, we have a contest."

Contest? What is she talking about?

"What are you talking about, mom?"

"Elena and I are having a cooking contest."

"Huh? What?"

"Elena and I will prepare the same breakfast, and you will decide which one is better."

"You are forcing Elena to do something again?"

"I am not; she agreed to this."

"Is that true, Elena?"

She nodded.

"You go take a bath; we will prepare breakfast."

"Will you be okay, Elena?"

"Yeah."

I went to take a bath; I will just take a quick shower and…

"I think I will take a long bath today."

I can finally sigh in relief. Elena is okay; I am okay.

"We are okay."

I looked at my hand; it reminded me of what happened just now.

"Her breasts were so soft.."

If my mom hadn't come, we might have gone all the way.

"Thanks, mom."

I didn't see Elena for just one day, and I felt so uneasy.

"I just can't imagine my life without her..."

I love her.
