LOVE Plus Minus

Sunday Night (2)

"i'm afraid of the dark cyn." she replied quivering.

"Jeez.." I pat my eel frustrated. For the first time in my life, there was a grown man who was afraid of the dark.

In an instant this room darkened, thank goodness the electricity was already on. So I don't have to bother thinking about how to take care of this guy.

Dave then loosened his embrace and let go of me.

"Sorry." said Dave clumsily as he scratched his head, which I'm sure is not itchy at all.

"It's okay" I replied.

"Congratulations.." I just wanted to say good-bye and leave this room, it suddenly darkened my eyes again and Dave hugged me again.

"Oh, it's really dizzy to take care of adults who act like this boy." I said in my heart.

Dave POV

"I'm sorry" I said slowly while scratching my non-itchy head. It felt strange and clumsy even though it was just an accidental hug. I mean, it wasn't on purpose because the electricity was all of a sudden and the room was getting dark. Luckily the electricity was back on.

"it's okay".

"Did I hear wrong? This usually chatty Cyntia forgives me that easily?" I murmured in my heart.

"Congratulations.." She was just about to say good-bye, and suddenly darkness fell back on my sight. And I unconsciously hugged the girl.

I closed my eyes and hugged this chatty girl, something chewy and tender now colliding with my chest.

"Wait a minute, I didn't expect it to be this big." I rambled inwardly realizing the size of the twin mountain Cyntia.

The girl in my arms moved uneasily, and it made me uncomfortable. Well, of course it's uncomfortable, something inside me just woke up from my sleep.

"Cynthia..." I whispered slowly while trying to get back to my consciousness.

"Yes?" tanyanya slow.

"Can you please take my phone out of my pants pocket, and please turn on the flashlight." I said in a voice as normal as possible.

My mind and body are not friendly. I sighed in trying to fill my lungs that felt tight, but unfortunately my position was closed and hugging Cyntia's body even made the scent of this girl enter freely into my sense of smell.

"Cyntia.." call me huffed, my voice just now sounds like a groan.

"Aps....What the hell is Dave?"

"Don't move too much, just grab the phone quickly" I said frustratedly realizing something had hardened between my base both times. And honestly the girl's body movements even make her swiped several times. It was a real hard test for me.

"How do I find your phone if it doesn't move?" ask this girl.

"Gosh.. Is he stupid or too innocent?" my nagging in heart.

"Hurry along. Take the phone." I muttered again.

Instantly the fur I sat on my body bristled, when something felt into the pocket of the cloth pants I was wearing.

"It's not there" I said in frustration when Cyntia touched something that had hardened down there.

Spontaneous touching it away and a few seconds later I sensed that my phone had been taken out of my pants pocket.

For a moment the atmosphere became very quiet, until I could hear my own heartbeat.

"Argh..sucks..what if Cyntia hears my heartbeat now? Is he gonna think of me as a pervert?" tanyaku riled still in his heart while keeping my eyes closed.

"I've turned on the Flashlight." the voice finally dawned on me.

"Thank you" I said as I opened my eyes, and it was true that the dim light from my phone flash was filling this room.

"I'm sorry" I let go of both my hands that have been hugging Cyntia's crazy body ever since.

"I'll sleep." she said later.

"Don't..." I held back the girl's steps with a quick movement I clasped one of her wrists.

"What's wrong?" ask without seeing my face.

"We'll just go out. There must be a brighter place, like a cafe." I said slowly.

"But I'm sleepy." he said without changing position.

"Please. I wouldn't dare to stay in this dark room by myself, and my phone might be out soon." I said sadly.

Finally Cyntia agreed to my request. And why did I ask him to come out? Of course to save me from two things. The first is my fear of the dark, while the second is if a strange feeling suddenly arises in me. If we stay here until the power's on, I'm not sure Cyntia will like what I'll do to her later.

Finally without wasting any time, we landed in a cafe that happened to be open until dawn. Cyntia and I sat face to face at a table. Busy with our own thoughts. This situation felt very awkward, since earlier Cyntia was just downcast as if she was hiding her face from me.

"Do you want to drink something?" my many.

....

Cyntia simply shook her head which was still bowed staring at the table.

"Cursed?" ask again.

....

The girl nodded slowly without raising her face.

The awkward feeling really attacked me, seeing the chatty girl who always denied my every word go silent like this made me feel confused and upset at once.

"Cyntia, what's wrong?" I decided to ask this question after ordering a coffee latte from the cafe waiter.

....

"Are you going to bow down so until morning? is there something on the floor? if you're sleepy you can sleep."

....

Without answering my question, the girl placed her head on the table. His two hands folded together.

"Yes just sleep." said I tried to suppress the irritation that burst in the chest.

"Ma.hh." Finally the girl opened her voice, albeit with a face that was hidden and attached to her arm on the table that separated us.

"What's wrong?" manya curious.

"I accidentally touched it"

"What do you mean?" I'm confused by Cyntia's statement.

"Something's hard when I take your cell phone out of your pants pocket."

'my heart's 'deg' suddenly beat faster, the sentence reminded me of what happened a few minutes ago. Suddenly the touch turned back inside my head. I want to curse myself who suddenly turned into such a pervert.

"I'm ashamed." Cyntia's words reawakened me from the dirty things that had filled my head.

"Stop talking about it" I said at last.

"Why?"

"So much better."

"We can forget it, right?" His face immediately lifted and looked at me seriously.

"Gosh, didn't he say he was embarrassed? Even now he's asking me to forget about it." I murmured in disbelief.

"So you mind forgetting about it? yeah, don't talk to me, don't meet me." he protested, bending his head back on the table.

"But, why?" ask me to feel unfairly charged. "Am I not the victim? He touched my private area. I'm the one who got hurt, right?" I muttered inwardly as I looked at the girl before me with a look of disbelief.

....

Cyntia returned in silent mode, until the cafe waiter delivered my order. I sipped my coffee latte wholeheartedly, enjoying its taste and aroma.

"But why Cyntia? why can't I talk to you or see you?" I asked, once again I suppressed my emotions and ego.

"Because it's too embarrassing Dave."

"You mean?" I'm a little emotional, how could I be the victim but she's the one who's embarrassed. It was as if I was just a criminal.

"Did I commit a crime against you? Is it my fault when you touch it?"

"Gosh, I didn't think you were this stupid." Cyntia lifted her head and looked at me irritatedly.

Some of her wavy hair children joined the protest and framed her beautiful face to look more cute.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Did I just say she's pretty and cute? Oh my God, what is this thinking? I must be crazy. Is this the effect of my trauma that came back a while ago? it could be, right? This must be some kind of error in my brain." I'm discussing it with myself right now.

"Stop looking at me Dave..!!!"

"I'm not. I'm looking at you." I said as I looked at Cyntia's face, which was now flushed like a tomato.

"You're a disgrace." The protest was back to keep his face on the table.

"What am I wrong????"
