After a moment of silence,
Sam's brain restored hearing the girl beneath him calling by his name.
It was first time she called him by his name so casually!!
But he immediately jumped off from her embarrassingly.
Shit!!!!
What was I doing!!!
Why I seem to lose control everytime!!
Elsa stayed in her bed quitely!!
It's still difficult for her to understand what has just happened!!
She was still in dilemma!!
Then slowly slowly got up from the bed and said in a low voice,
" I.. I was just joking.. "
Sam(looking away) : " Well, I'm sorry..
I was not in my mind!! "
Elsa just replied coldly lowering her gaze, "Mmm".
A few minutes have already passed!!
But there was not any words heard coming from their mouth!!
What an awkward situation!!
But something has to stay!!
Coincidently at the same time, both of them said, " well.. "
Elsa(nervous) : " You go ahead first.."
Sam(clearing his throat) : " Well, I wanted to ask is there any problem with you being in the darkness?? "
Elsa(sighed heavily) : " Yes..
Actually I am suffering from Nycophobia. "
Sam(frowned) : " From when?? "
Elsa(lowering her gaze) : " Since my childhood!!
Once I was playing hide and seek with my friends near the small forest of our previous home..
I went to hide alone in a broken house at that forest.. But one of my friend locked me there intentionally to scare me!!
My other friends couldn't find me!!
I was stuck there, screaming several times for help but nobody found me!!
It was not until almost mid night, the police rescued me from there..
I was so afraid alone in that room, almost fainted!!
After that incident, I seem to like afraid of dark so much..
My mom took me to a psychologist because of my fear towards dark..
Then the psychologist told mom that I became like this because of that trauma.
Don't know when I will be brave enough to face the dark!!
The psychologist suggested that only I can remove this fear from my mind..
I have to be brave enough to solve this phobia of mine..
But he still suggested me some rules like trying to breathe frequently, trying to relax!!
But you just saw!!
I didn't try any of this!!
Immediately fainted!! "
Sam(seriously) : " Just because you didn't try at all to recover your fear!! "
Elsa(scratching her head) : " Uhhah!!!
You know I don't have that courage to stand in the darkness for a minute let alone trying to relax!! (Hissed) "
Sam(smiled) : " Too bad!!!
Unfortunately you married the Lord of the dark!! "
Elsa(bitter smile) : " Yeah!!
Perhaps, it was in my fate.. I have no hands over that!! "
Sam(looking at her gaze) : " Yeah, I guess so.. "
Elsa: " By the way, you are still awake?? don't you sleep??
I heard vampires don't sleep.
And what was that a while ago!!
Your eyes were sparkling.
You almost scared me to death!! "
Sam(laughed) : " Well, we have an especial ability to see anything clearly in the dark.
In order to see you, I turned on the power inside me.
That's the reason my eyes were lightening in the dark.
And yeah, we sleep.We are not vampires.
We are also very active at night.
We don't need much sleep like humans. A little while sleeping can give us a lot of energy. "
Elsa nodded her head understandingly.
Suddenly the electricity came back breaking their awkward situation.
Sam(worriedly): " Are you okay, now?? Will you be able to stay alone tonight? "
Elsa(affirmatively): " It's okay!! I can stay alone. "
Sam: " Okay then..
By the way, We have to leave for our world tomorrow..
We will stay there for a few days.
I already have applied
an application for your leaving in the University. "
Elsa nodded her head and said reluctantly " Okay!! Then..
good night.. "
Sam coldly replied "hmm" and was about to leave the room
but the electricity cut off again!!
Shit!!
Sam(hurriedly) : " Elsa, don't be afraid.. I am here.. I am here.. Take a deep breath.. Take a deep a breath..
I am lighting up the candle.. Don't worry.. "
Elsa(grabbed the bedsheet tightly taking deep breath) :
" Okay, okay.. I am okay.. Hurry up.. Lit up the candle.. "
Sam quickly lit up the candle and the room became brighter than before..
Sam(sighed) : " I have to stay with you tonight.. The weather is messy today.. May be some problem occurred in the station.
That's why load shedding is happening again and again..
It's better that I stay with you tonight!! "
Elsa(muttered) : "but... there is no sofa here.. Where are you going to sleep then?? "
Sam(clam) : " It's okay. I will sleep in the floor. "
Elsa(worried tone) : " No!! How can you sleep in the floor..
No, no it's not a good idea.. I disagree. "
Sam(confusedly) : " Then I will just stand here. You can sleep.. "
Elsa(hesitantly) : " How about we share the bed for tonight?? "
Sam blinked his eyes awkwardly.
Sam(coughed) : " but.. How can we.. "
Elsa(vaguely) : " Well, I think it's the best idea.. You and I both don't have to suffer then..
Beside I will use this pillow as a partition between us..
Don't worry(grabbing the side pillow in her hands)
Sam(nervously) : " Okay, then.. I will stay here with you tonight. "
Elsa smiled at him nervously!!!
But her heart beat(bump.. bump.. bump..)
What nonsense!!
Dear God!!
My heart is a mess now!!
As the both party lied down on the bed without saying anything!!
Elsa stared at the ceiling with her nervous body.. It felt like she was even taking every breathe carefully!!!
That day when he was drunk, she didn't feel that much awkward staying with him in the same bed..
But perhaps, this person felt like more dangerous when he was in his sense.
Especially his scary eyes back then..
Why I felt like those eyes had mixed emotions!! (Elsa shook her head)
Stop thinking nonsense!!
He doesn't like the human!!
Yes!! Just try to sleep you idiot brain!!
