I sleepily stir awake when I feel something warm and heavy lying on top of me so turn my head to my side only to squeak in surprise when I get to face to face with Bryle’s sleeping face so close to me with his leg entangled with mine and his arm wrapped around to me.
Shit! He’s also not wearing any shirt on?!
I can feel my face heating up from the mere sight of his sleeping face so close to me. I slowly and carefully remove his arm from my stomach to not wake him up. It might make him feel uncomfortable if he wakes up and finds out that he’s cuddling me probably all night, I don’t know. I almost successfully remove it when the door suddenly bursts open with a bang, revealing his one and only mom who’s staring at us with her mouth agape.
The sound startles the half naked sleeping beast beside me and immediately opens his eyes but soon it becomes as wide as saucers when he sees that he’s hugging me and it becomes more wider when he sees his mom standing at the doorway looking at us with wide eyes.
He immediately sits up from lying down on the bed in utter shock. “Mom! It’s not what you think!” He exclaims like he got caught red handed.
Meanwhile, I don’t know what to do and just stay in bed, staring at the ceiling, and didn’t move a muscle like a paralyzed person because of embarrassment. All I want is for the ground to eat me right now!
“Oh, really?” Ms. Kraisee’s voice is so stern that I feel like I’m going to pee in my pants any minute now.
“Yes, mom! I swear! We didn’t do anything! We were just sleeping!” Bright is panicking beside me, “Alwin! Say something! Why aren’t you doing anything?” He says to me and shakes my shoulder so I have no choice but to look at his mom with red face.
“W-We’re so sorry if we m-made you misunderstand the s-situation but we weren’t really doing a-anything...” I embarrassingly trail off while stuttering in the process and Bryle bobs his head in agreement with me.
Suddenly, his mom laughs so hard while clutching her stomach, tears are even evident in her eyes so we look at her questioningly.
“You two are so hilarious! I can’t— hahahaha!” She continues laughing uncontrollably while talking, “Why are you so defensive, son? I was just kidding, you know!”
Bryle nervously open and close his mouth like a fish stuck out of water but when he couldn’t get a single word out of his mouth, he looks down. I glance at his ears down to his neck and I’m shocked to say that it’s so red.
I laugh nervously and stand up from the bed to excuse myself and go to the bathroom.
Finally! Some comfortable place I can go to and breath!
I sight a breath of relief and wash my face in the sink to wipe away my blush. I left Bryle with his mom so I hope he can handle her and survive without embarrassing himself even more. I know that he’s probably being interrogated in the bedroom so I plan to not come out here so soon until she leaves the room.
That dipshit, really! This is all his fault! Why was he not even wearing a shirt on while sleeping? I don’t even remember him taking off his clothes last night before going to bed. He probably took it off after I fell asleep!
I start counting the time by just using my mind because I didn’t bring my phone when coming here. After I calculate that it’s probably already past ten minutes since I got here, I decide to finally come out from this spacious bathroom and to the bedroom just to see no one.
“Bryle?” I call out Bryle’s name but no one responds, “Where did he go?”
I walk towards a small closet and finds some comfortable clothes I can wear. These are probably Bryle’s old and tattered clothes that he hasn’t used since he moved in. I grab a pair blue T-shirt and pants then proceed to go out from the room. I walk through the hallway down to the living room but still see no one around so I proceed to walk towards the kitchen and finally spot Bryle with his mom and two maids assisting them with the cooking.
Bryle and his mom are enjoying what they’re doing a lot. They are both smiling so widely to each other while preparing for the table. They are so happy that it also makes me smile. I don’t see his father around so maybe he already went to work.
Suddenly, Bryle’s mom spots me standing at the doorway and smiles at me. “Oh, hi, Alwin! Come and sit already. Bryle cooked some dishes for us!” She says and drags me towards a chair and makes me sit down so I comply without a word.
Bryle glances at me and when he sees that I’m also looking at him, he immediately looks away then proceeds to what he’s doing. I don’t wanna question his actions because I think he’s just concentrating on his work but when my eyes land on his ears and neck again, I then already know that he is not just concentrating on his work but is also avoiding me.
Shit! The thing that I’m avoiding to happen between us is finally coming!
