Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Tokyo's POV

"Are you and Alex dating?" Zanaya asked and I raised my eyebrows at her.

"How many times are you guys going to ask me that question?" I pouted.

It has been years but that question still pops out of nowhere every time Alex and I meet, of course, that's coming from my members.

They still couldn't believe the fact that we two are only friends, best of friends to be exact.

I mean, what is so hard to understand with that?

I know Alex is hot. That's given but I'd probably puke if I ever saw myself kissing him. And I'm sure he feels the same. He probably sees me as a guy friend to be honest.

"Until you find yourself a man of your own, I will always think that you and Alex are a thing. Though I actually heard something about a kiss and your name being associated with it." she smiled cheekily and my cheeks blushed in instant.

Grey Simons, you bitch.

I stood up from my seat, a little uneasy. I'm not ready to answer any questions yet when I don't even know what happened between us.

For all I know, Grey was just overwhelmed that time after he found out about his marriage.

And come to think of it, why would he kiss me?

Grey Simons, SHADOW's Golden youngest member, he will never like me, will he?

A sigh escaped my lips as I think about it.

For weeks, that kiss has started haunting me at night.

The moment my body is free from any physical work; my mind starts to drift to the image of his soft lips into mine.

Damn. Even thinking about it now makes my body shiver and my heart beat a little faster.

My hands landed on my head as I felt dizzy for a moment, beads of sweat started forming on my forehead.

"Ah, I'm going in my room. I'm not really feeling so well." I told her and I notice her face softened.

A smile escape on my lips. Zanaya must has a lot on her plate but that doesn't stop her from caring at us.

"You okay?" she asked as she was about to stand up but I stop her.

"I think I just need to sleep." I smiled at her and she nodded before I headed to my room.

"Call me if you need anything, okay?" I heard her say before I closed the door.

I heavily dragged my body on my bed and as soon as my body touches the soft fabric, I felt getting weaker.

"No. I can't get sick." I grunted as I felt my eyes getting heavier every second.

Slowly, I tried to move from where I was lying, but then I saw a figure emerging right through the door and my heart leaped for a second when I heard an all too familiar voice.

"Tokyo?"...

My eyes met his and my insides went on a frenzy.

Is that worry I see on his eyes?

Like the last time, he looked like he run a marathon as he was still trying to catch his breath.

I brushed my eyes for a moment to make sure I wasn't seeing things or something.

"Grey?" I whispered and my eyes watch in awe as he slowly moved towards my direction.

He was wearing a black polo shirt tucked underneath his tight pants.

I tried to sit from my bed as I wait for him.

"Why are you here?" I asked confused. He started scratching the back of his head as he bit his lower lip, his eyes avoiding my gaze.

Huh? Is he actually getting nervous and shy around me right now?

Before he can even speak, I had to close my eyes a bit as I felt a surge of pain on my temple.

"Ugh." I grunted as my hand landed on my head.

Headache, I hate it.

"Tokyo, are you okay?" he rushed and sat beside me, feeling my forehead along the process.

"No shit, Sherlock." I snapped at him. The fact that this is the first time he remembered showing himself to me made me really pissed off.

"Good for you to finally show yourself to me huh?" I rolled my eyes on him and his eyes widen at my words.

He did not show himself from me for two weeks and I almost die thinking about it. And then here he is showing himself unannounced like it's the most natural thing to do.

"Well, you run away from me that time, so I thought, ahmm" I saw him gulped. "I thought you don't want to talk to me." he finished.

"So that's why you avoided me, is that it?" I questioned him and right then, he avoided my glance.

"I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable after that... Ahm, kiss, so..."

And then my cheeks blushed crimson red.

"And, I know you were dating Alex, so I don’t want to burden you with it." he added, his eyes focused on his hands as he rub them together.

My breath hitches at his words.

"Alex? You thought Alex and I were dating?" I asked him, almost gagging at the very same words that came out of Zanaya's mouth earlier.

"What? He was even here earlier, lying on your bed." he snickered and I almost raised an eyebrow at his words.

Is he getting really jealous right now?

"So? You are also on my bed now if you haven't noticed." I mumbled.

"Why did you went in by the way? You did not even knock." I flicked his forehead which made him bow down a little due to the pain.

I chuckled at his looks, our face only inches apart and I noticed his cheeks turning red. "Did Zanaya opened the door for you?"

"Huh?" he mumbled. "Yeah, she said I can come in. And I actually thought Alex was here so..."

His cheeks were even redder than earlier.

Oh God, he looks like a potato. But he is still adorable.

"Wait, why would you enter here if you thought Alex and I were dating? I mean, that'll be weird."

He started coughing at my words. My eyes squinted for a moment.

He really is weird.

I pouted at his lack of reply before lying back on the bed. I'm still feeling dizzy.

"Tokyo, have you drink any medicine? You look a little pale." He mumbled as I stare at his beautiful face.

My heart fluttered for a moment. Why does he look a little different than before?

My eyes notice how his eyes look mesmerizing, his nose were so pointed which compliment his lips.

Those soft lips.

Shit.

I grunted when I remember how our lips touched last time.

I covered my face by a blanket to hide my burning cheeks.

"I'm fine Grey. I guess I'm just a little tired." I told him.

"If you're here to play a game with me, well tough luck, I'm not up for it right now. Maybe tomorrow."

Yeah, he may be bored that's why he was here.

With that in thought, I turned my back on him and removed the blanket covering my face.

"Grey, are you not going back to your dorm?" I asked, my throat hurting a little.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get sick.

"I will, after you sleep." he mumbled before I felt him move from where he was sitting.

After a while, I felt his hands brushing my hair from the back, and somehow, my insides felt warm at his gesture.

I close my eyes as I try to get some sleep, silence filled the room.

"Grey," I called his name, my heart started beating on my chest rapidly as if it will burst any minute. But I need to do this. I need to ask him a question because I might not be able to sleep.

"Yeah?" his voice was hoarse and it sounded sexy to my ears.

Wait, what?

"Ahm, why did you kiss me last time?" I asked nervously.

He stopped brushing my hair and I felt my heart hammering inside my chest even more.

"I do-," Hesitation was evident on his voice and then a long sigh escaped on his lips. "Honestly, I don't know myself. But I thought that time, that was the right thing to do."

I bite the inside of my mouth, "Even though you thought I was dating Alex?" I asked.

"Are you?" he asked and I was sure his voice cracked a little.

He sounded nervous.

"I'm not." I answered truthfully. I don't know why but I don't want him to think that me and Alex are together.

"Really?" I almost chuckle when I heard his tone getting higher.

"Why do you sound so happy about it?"

He did not answer.

My eyes closed for a moment.

His presence somehow gives me peace. Though we normally bicker with each other, I feel like he makes me feel comfortable the most.

Then I felt him moving. The next thing I knew was his hands wrapped around my waist, hugging me from behind as he lay beside me in my bed.

My body stiffen for a moment.

This was exactly how it was last time on his room.

"G-Grey," I stuttered, the loud beating in chest ringing in my ears.

"Let me stay like this for a moment Tokyo. I promise I will go once you're asleep." he whispered and I felt my body shivered when I felt his breathe on the back on my neck.

For some reason, I can't decline. The heat coming from him makes me feel contented, so I let him.

"Tokyo?"

"Hmmm?" I whispered.

"I miss you." he mumbled and I swear every fucking hormone on my body went frenzy.

I didn't move.

The silence in the room made my heart calm down a little, my eyes still close and all I can hear was the sound of his breathing.

I don't know what came in to me but I answered. Something that I didn't know I will ever tell Grey Simons, the very same person I despise a few years ago.

"I miss you too."

He did not answer but he moved a little and buried his face at the back of my neck.

And then I fell asleep.
