ELEVEN

Sleep Over

Eating was essential of course and necessary but what I need right now is Sebastian’s detailed explanation about what he knows versus what I know. Let us now begin the hot seat lol!

“Should we sleep now, Eleven? Hey?! You’re spacing out!”

“Ah yeah! I mean NO! What do you mean we sleep now?!”

“You are already twenty-three Eleven Shear! A simple definition of Sle–”

“f**k you Sebastian! I’m not a fool! You owe me a lot of explanation! You told me ‘later’! Are you even fine hah?! Can you f*****g stop making fun of me? Will you?!”

“Hey! Don’t cry! f**k! I’m just kidding! Alright, we will talk!”

My supposed tears stop me from being one lol! He should be for real because if I run out of patience, he’s done. For f*****g real!

“So, foremost, what do you know about why I am a witness? Like what’s the deal? I can’t understand everything! I fe–”

“Shh! I know what you feel! There’s a possibility that someone held a grudge against you and broke into your apartment. That day, I was sleeping in my condo, but I dreamed that you were calling me, so I rushed to your place. However, the suspicious man who sneaked inside had already escaped. When I checked, nothing seemed to be missing, but I'm still baffled as to how he gained entry into your room."

“Someone has a grudge against me? What the hell?! They even got someone to sneak into my apartment!”

“Yes. But… I reported it immediately to the police and a minute passed, and then they went inside, but they found you there in front of your room.”

“Of course, Seb, they will find me there because I might doze off because of what I am suffering, okay?!”

He just stared at me for a second, but what sent shivers down my spine were his next words.

“They found you there, but like I told you, I already checked everything in your apartment and nothing is missing except you.”

I was stunned speechless from the moment I heard what he said. I was so shocked I felt deafened, and if he hadn't tapped me on the forehead, I wouldn't have snapped out of it.

“So, why did you just appear like that, huh? Eleven Shear Miller? Are you perhaps hiding something from me? Hm?”

“Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t know what you were saying if I really disappeared at that time? Because promise Seb! I don’t know what happened! All I know is that I–… Then—… f**k!”

“You what?!”

“I k– then.. It– s**t! What the hell!”

“Are you kidding right now, Eleven?! What are you saying?!”

I realized then, what I was saying to him, … he didn't seem to hear! Like I got locked? How do I say that? It’s blocked! The words coming out of my mouth didn’t come out right! This is f*****g scary!

“I think I might be under a spell or something, because I don't remember anything, and then you said I suddenly appeared in front of my room door, out of nowhere.”

I lied. I remember staring at my mirror before clicking on my door and I think that’s the start where I headed out to a dreamland? I am not sure, but it felt that it really happened, and I am not certain about anything now. I can’t tell everything to Seb because I can’t really trust him right now, because if my dreams were true, then I would never marry him and surrender my mirror! Wait! The mirror! I should get home because what if they’ll get it? f****d!

“That might be possible! Eleven, how many times do I need to tell you that you need to be with me 24/7, but what did you do?! Now! I will be mad, but not that mad right now because you made the right choice when you decided to stay here with me.”

I’m damned. How can I now squeeze in what I want and that is I need to go home to my apartment? I'm in trouble!

“I think this is enough for now. You can sleep in my room while I sleep on my couch near my bed so that you will not be afraid. Is that okay for you?”

“No. You can sleep in your bed and I can sleep on a couch, Seb! You have already done a lot, you know!”

“Don’t get me wrong, Eleven! You see that this condominium of mine is very spacious, so I’ll tell you! I have one guest room and also my study room where I can sleep, but what I’m trying to say is that I have a lot of beds, but I don’t want to make you feel alone, okay? You will sleep in my room, and I’ll sleep on the couch! Got that?!”

“Whatever Seb! I’ll go home early tomorrow! Goodnight!”

“Serves you right! There are complete toiletries and everything you need in the bathroom and don’t ask how! I just have spares for future purposes! Goodnight!”

Not that I am interested psh!

I just did my nighttime routine and didn’t argue even if I wanted to. It’s just that he shouldn’t ask me for what I prefer or if what he said is fine with me if he will not do what I objectified a while ago! It’s just frustrating as f****d! Aaaa! I want to go home!

I went to his room and found him sleeping on his couch like what he said. I want to kick him to wake up just because! Tsk! He just has ways to get on my nerves! But then, at some point, I felt like we were connected to some things. This is cheese! I am getting myself in trouble, aren’t I?

Before lying in my bed, I saw a square mirror hanging near his door. I wanted to get a look at my reflection, but I got stiffened. It felt so wrong or was I just traumatized? Well, I just decided to pull myself together, and I ended up lying down and dozing off.
