บท 6: A Friendly Date: Get along? Trusting him? Maybe?
That night was weird.
I woke up that morning and found him beside me. And woke up like it was nothing. For me, that was hell scary, being haunted at night and waking up next to someone, and what is worse, killer, yet...
That morning...
I woke up all stuffy by the blanket that wrapped all over me. I swift to my side and found him sleeping on a chair. "W-what? Why is he here?" I was startled and got up too quickly that my head hurts. I took a good look and he was sleeping peacefully. I slowly got up, trying not to wake him. Taking a second look, he kinda looks uncomfortable and I put on some blanket over him.
"Is he planning something? He's sleeping there all of a sudden. I'm kind of worried, and there is that woman last night. What does she want from me?" That is the question that bugged me all day since he was gone after taking breakfast.
"Might as well forget, this like that will just put me in danger. I have to cope with this and adapt fast so I can find a way to go home."
At the table (eating*) he then suggested. "Do you want to come to me today? You haven't come out of the house for a while, you might go soft." I was surprised by what he said and agreed to it. If I can go out even for today with safety I can find something helpful. And we got ready to head out, I don't want to be dumb and hopeless staying cowardly in a house.
That time I was a bit scared cause the first I came to the City, I was almost killed, not once but three times! But, this time I know the dangers that lurk so this trip isn't going bad. I hope.
Leaving the house, he then handed me a stick and some groceries bag, "Here, just take this." "U-uh Okay..." "What am I supposed to do with it. It's just a stick. But what's up with this many bags though?" I thought to myself.
After reaching the end of the stairs, he then went somewhere and returned with a motorbike and fetched me a helmet. "Get on." I put the helmet on and thought, "I don't want to. He's crazy!! I don't trust this!"
"I-- I don't know if this is---" I said out of having second thoughts. "I said get on!" he said, annoyed. "Yes sir." I got on and held on to him tight.
"Riding a motorbike with someone like this is not what I have in mind. I want to live!"
Taking a look at the City. It was still the same as I knew it. At first, I thought that this place is in the middle of an apocalypse or something like that, but it seems like it just has lesser people around. Which I have no idea why.
Sadly, as much as I want to look around, I am busy holding my life, this guy drives so fast. Yeah sure, there aren't vehicles around but I wish he drives a bit safer! "God help."
After a couple of minutes, I didn't know where we are at, the street is quite unknown for me, "Where are we going." "Just wait and see." I asked him softly, "Hey, could you please drive a bit slower, I feel like I am going to fall at this speed." He adjusted a bit and I relaxed a bit.
Later, "Hey, this place. Are we leaving the city?" From what I remembered, 4km straight away in this direction is the exit. We took a turn to the right and stopped. "No, and we are here." I look up and there is this botanical building. I guessed since It has many plants hanging around in the entrance. "Whoa, It's huge. What are we doing here?" "This place is abandoned, I take care of it sometime. And remember those vegetables? They came from here." "Oh, is that so."
I remembered that he bought it over with him covered in blood.
We came inside and-- "So you took me here today to help you harvest some, right" "Yes, I did. No, your the one who does it. Call me if you're done picking some." He then left me with a basket and the bags we bought. I took a sigh and looked around. "This place is beautiful, not to mention the variety. I feel like in a market with very fresh produce."
I have done picking and he was waiting. "You come with me to the third floor." There is a third floor?!" "Hurry up." We came up the staircase and the floor was much spacious there are a bunch of fruit trees, "Come help yourself with these." He then helps me pick since he was much taller than me.
"Hey you, come here for a sec." "What is it?" He then took a berry "Here, eat this." "Oh, this tastes good. It's sweet." "Good, you like it. I'm getting some more."
"W-wait! What was that." I thought in my head.
"Done here, are you done picking?" He said. "Yeah, I'm kinda tired. Can we rest and eat some?" He then thought of something and take some of the things that I carry. Follow me. This place has a garden on the roof, it was an extension of some sort, lets rest there." I followed him way up.
Opening the door, the wind blew, and smelled something sweet from the air.
"It's a garden! This place is beautiful." The rooftop is a field of flowers and has arches to protect those fragile to direct sunlight. "Watch out for those rose arch, they have thorns. Follow me close, I swear there were tables in here somewhere."
We found some tables and settle at the most decent one. "Whoa, these are marble table set! It's rare to see things like this." I was in awe of the thing in the building. "You think so?" He then opened his hand. I handed him some fruit to slice since he's the one who got knives.
The view from there was beautiful and the flowers are in full bloom. "Site viewing later, here eat." "Thanks." The fruits are delicious. I can't help to smile every time I bite.
After that, we cleaned this up and getting ready to go home. Leaving, I saw some white and purple asters and some marigold, which are my favorite. "Do you want to bring some?" He said. "Can I?!" "Yeah, sure you can." I pick some and returned home.
After the long journey and the painstaking climb back with all those things, we finally reached home before the sunset. It was fun.
"Thanks." I said to him as I drowse off on the couch. "Hey, don't-- Have a good rest then."
Just as he said something. I think I skipped a beat. Maybe I was just tired.
