Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Josh's POV

My eyes flew opened when I felt my body being dragged away from my bed.

What the hell?

I looked around to see Samantha pulling me by my right feet , I'm almost close to falling on the floor.

How the hell did she get in? Did I forgot to close my door?

I looked at the clock beside my table and realized that I was knocked out for three hours, I barely slept.

"Yah, Samantha! No, no, no, Ouchhhh!" I screamed as my body crashed on the floor.

Still not used to the light, I squinted my eyes as I try to look at her.

"Jesus. You scared me." My hands landed on my chest as I saw Sadako instead of her beautiful face.

"Wow."

I was still lying flat on the ground.

But it did not end there. She continually pulled my body out of my room and she did not let go of my feet until we reached the living room.

I had to cover my head to avoid hitting my head on the corners.

Once we came, I saw Haiden and Rome sitting helplessly on the couch while Jake was lying face flat on the floor.

"What the hell is this?" I can't help but mutter. Sleep already out of my system.

I watch her as she marches her way towards Yohan's room which she was unable to open even after the continuous knocking.

Yohan probably put something behind the door so no one can enter on his room.

Why did I not think of that? I groan.

My eyes followed her next movement. She went straight into Vash's room and after two short minutes, I watch in awe as he pulled him out exactly how she did to me earlier.

I looked at the other three to ask if they were dragged the same way but Rome beat into asking.

"Yes, we were freaking dragged by the foot all the way here."

"I swear she's going mental. I was on the restroom and she was trying to dismantle the handle using a spoon, Oh my god." Haiden said still looking hella freaked out.

My eyes landed on Jake who looked like he had barely gotten any sleep.

The next thing we knew was Jason being dragged as well until we're almost complete except for Yohan who was happily sleeping on his room.

A sigh escape on my lips.

I'm actually getting a little scared of what she'd like to do next.

"Are we going to experience this cruelty every month?" Rome asked almost half asleep.

Jason and Vash were still both sleeping even after they were dragged out of their room.

"Great. Now we're almost complete!" I watch her as she claps her hands while jumping up and down. Excitement visible on her expression.

"How about we play hide and seek?" she said.

Haiden groaned.

"Why, you don't like it?" she pouted.

She's still so cute.

"Or how about we go out to eat at McDonald's? I'd like to have some fries. We can go inside McDonald's playground!!!" she cheerfully suggested.

I can't help but realize how she must have been so hungry. All she ate yesterday were tubes of strawberry ice cream and some other sweets.

"Are you hungry?" I sincerely asked her. I stood up and walked towards her.

My heart started beating faster as she looked straight into my eyes as if I'm someone dear to her.

My right hands automatically reached down to her face as I started to brush the strands of her hair to the side.

My heart ached a little as I realized how exhausted she looked probably due to stress, lack of food and sleep.

"How about I cook you some pancakes? Would you like that?" I asked her sweetly as my hands automatically pulled her body towards me. I have this weird feeling that she doesn't really have the strength to stand on her own.

"You'll cook for me?" she responded a little joyful than I anticipated. Then her voice suddenly dropped.

"Jake never cooks for me." she said as if she'd start to cry any moment.

"Ah, please! Cook her some food hyung, get her out of here, please!" I heard Jake shout as he tries to stand up, still as groggy as hell. "I'm begging you, hyung"

A chuckle escaped my lips. My hands landed on hers as I drag her carefully to the kitchen.

We were able to reach the kitchen after a few minutes of struggling because she was trying to hit Jake while the other decided it's good to piss the girl more by hitting back, with less force if I may be clear about that.

She looked so cute wearing a huge black hoodie, probably by Jake's. I swear to God, one day, i'm going to throw all of Jake's clothes on her closet.

"Oh, can I help?" she asked like a cute little bunny.

"No dear, the kitchen is mine." I said sweetly and I can't help but pinch her cheeks as I saw her pout.

I like her a lot but she can't go around the kitchen in her current state. For all I know, she may be more dangerous than Rome who breaks a lot of things.

"Beautiful..." I can't help but whisper. "Now you, my lady - " I grab her from the waist and lift her up until she's seated on the kitchen counter. "will behave here as I prepare the best pancakes for you, okay?"

"Yey!" she started clapping her hands as she swings her feet while hanging below the counter.

I just smiled as I reached the cabinet to search for the pans. Then, I took the milk, eggs and flour at the refrigerator as I start doing my stuff.

I occasionally look at her side while cooking, afraid she might start another episode of hers.

Once done, I placed the pancakes on a plate and put in some maple syrup at the top.

"More, please" she said which I gladly obliged.

I signaled her to wait when she almost grabs the pancakes using her hands. "Careful sweetie, that's hot." I told her as I grab a fork.

I decided it's safer to feed her.

I feel pretty bad for the boys. They really look like they need to get some sleep. It's only 7 in the morning and we actually went inside our rooms almost past three.

"You know what, I like you better than Jake." she told me as look straight to my face.

I'm actually standing just beside her, her face in the same level as mine as she's seated at the top of the counter.

"Why?" I asked her. I don't want to be imposing and I'm sorry but I won't let this chance pass.

"Because you cook for me."

I smiled.

"Oh, and because you're allowing me to hug you. And because you're not getting mad at me." she pouted.

"I will never get mad at you." I said as I feed her the last bit of pancakes left. Then, I get her a glass of water to drink.

"And you smell so good."

Again, my heart started beating like crazy.

Afterwards, she looked at me like she's expecting to do something fun afterwards.

I sigh. "How about we go to sleep?" I told her.

She frowns. "I don't want to."

My eyebrows furrowed. "May I ask why?"

"Ahmm..." she hesitated. "I get nightmares. A monster in pink always comes and sh's going to get me."

I can't help but chuckle. I cupped her face and have her eyes look into mine. And then I smiled. "I promise I will stay by your side, okay? I won't let any monster take you away from me. okay?"

She hesitated a bit. "Promise?" she showed her pinky while I accepted. "Promise. Now let's go." I carried her out of the kitchen, bridal style and after some thought, I decided to bring her in my room instead.

I hope she sleeps peacefully this time.
