CHAPTER 7- Conversation With Him
I open my eyes the moment I heard my alarm clock ringing.
I almost forgot what happened last night but it's 6:00 in the morning and I'm alone.
Maybe last night was just a dream.
He is not real nor a ghost.
He didn't sleep with me.
He didn't say those things even touch my forehead.
I didn't meet him.
Convincing myself that last night didn't happen at all I stand up from my bed and went to the bathroom.
Just to make myself relax I soak myself in the bathtub full of bubbles. I close my eyes and almost fell asleep when suddenly I heard a loud thud followed by a meow.
Thankfully it was just a cat.
Wait a cat? Then reality hits me how did a cat entered my apartment.
I instantly open my eyes. when I saw him inside the bathroom with the cat my eyes went wide in shock.
"I'm sorry I'll go out now." he said to me looking away. He turned around and walk away, I felt relieved. I thought he was gonna go out but he suddenly stopped at the bathroom door.
"just so you know... I… I d-didn't see anything" he was stammering while saying those last words before walking out fast.
Surely he saw something. Just thinking about it makes me feel embarrass.
"Just how much did he see?" I asked the cat who's now walking out but the cat just meowed at me as if answering my question. I felt my cheeks grew hot.
Why am I even blushing right now? that was so awkward and embarrassing.
I stayed for a couple of minutes in the bathtub just to calm my pounding heart.
I wore my bathrobe and my undergarments before going out. He is nowhere to be found.
I started preparing my breakfast when he suddenly popped up out of nowhere. I almost drop my frying pan that I'm holding.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were taking a bath thought no ones in the bathroom because it was so silent so I followed the cat to let it out." I just continued preparing my breakfast and ignored him.
"Trust me I really didn't see anything" then he raised his right hand as if pledging.
I can't control myself now, I'm so pissed off.
"Really you didn't?" I asked him.
He nodded at me hesitantly.
"I don't like talking to liars" I told him while focusing on cooking.
"W-wait you really can see me?" He look so surprised as if it was the most peculiar thing. Clearly he's changing the topic.
"Yes I can see you" I told him bluntly.
"Sorry I really did see something like your legs." he admitted guiltily but I wasn't convinced.
"You sure just the legs?" he was hesitating but I gave him a threatening look.
"and partly here" he motioned from his chest then up. He looked down as if avoiding my gaze and I instantly blush.
I sat and started eating my breakfast as he remained standing.
"If you keep on standing there then you better leave, if you want me to do something for you then no I'm busy I can't help you with anything"
"sorry" he answered me. This guy is really making me feel guilty.
"Your name?" I don't know what's gotten into me to ask his name.
He looked at me confused.
"I mean what's your name?"
"I don't know"
And now it's my time to look at him confused.
"I don't remember anything"
"I know this is kinda rude but even how you died?"
"Yes" he answered me full of sadness.
" I'm not gonna ask you to help me remember anything just please let me stay here for a while" he said pleading to me.
"let me think about it. You may stay or leave let's talk later I still need to go to work" I told him and went to change my clothes.
