Thank you everyone for the review! Gosh, I am so busy right now! Well, here's this chapter.
By the way people, if you don't mind, I decided to add "Oniichan" which means "Big Brother" in Japanese for Jenna. I think it's cool, but if it's a bother, let me know! D
Chapter 5: A Sudden
"Felix, I-I-" Sheba stuttered. She kept her head down low so he couldn't see her red face, "I really need to say this. I wish I have told you this before, but I believe this could be the right time, so, um, Felix, th-"
"Felix! Sheba!" shouted Piers, holding a colorful beach volleyball, " Wanna play Volleyball with us?"
Felix turned around, "No thank you," replied Felix and murmured, "and for some reason I really have a big headache…" Sheba heard and began to worry and of course Piers didn't hear, so he just shrugged,
"Fine with me, but if you want to come, we're in the water."
"Ok, thanks," smiled Felix.
"How about you, Sheba?" asked Piers, holding the ball in the air, "you want to come-oh wait! You don't like the water!"
Felix turned back to Sheba, and Sheba, still with her head down, shouted, "IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE THE WATER!" then she added quietly, "I just do consider the fact of going swimming."
Felix smiled and patted her head, and then he spun around and walks to a palm tree, leaving her behind.
Seeing him walk away, Sheba didn't know what to do, to follow or to walk somewhere else. But at the same time, her thought read, he's left all alone. Sheba turned to look at Isaac and Jenna; who are obviously sitting next to the lifeguard's chair together, Ivan, Garet, Mia, and Piers are hitting the ball in the air and cheering each other. Sheba smiled, Yes! This can be the only time I could thank him! No more disruptions!
She took one step and frowned, But what do I say to him if he asks me why I'm here? Duh! I'll just tell him what I wanted to tell him earlier! He can get the picture!
As she walked, she began to wonder. What would Felix say when she says "thank you"? Would he even care, and say "you're welcome" or "no problemo" or yet what if he doesn't care: "who cares about you? I did it 'cause we need you".
I don't know. Maybe I'll bother him. She stopped and hesitated out loud I must tell him! He says I can tell him when the time is right, right? I could just tell him that this is the right time and the only time that is available without anyone butting in! Please Felix! Understand my feelings and patience!
She took another step, this time bigger, and kept up, until she was bought to a halt. She held her breath to keep herself from surprise. Felix, lying against a tree, was asleep. He did say he had a headache. Maybe he has a fever! I must check on him. I don't want him to get worse.
Sheba strolled faster to get a better view of him and then it happened.
Something that was so unexpected.
She has done it.
Something that Sheba would never forget in her whole life.
Something that felt like a dream…all except the fact that it really happened.
She has tripped over a dead root.
This is how it happened.
As Sheba came closer and closer to Felix, her thoughts blinded her vision to the real world. So, without noticing, she tripped over a surface root above the sand.
When she finally realized that she was in the real world, she screamed, panicked and tried to get back on her feet. Only she couldn't, and fell forward… and in front of her was a sleeping Felix.
She twisted her body around to catch balance, but it was no use. She fell backward, then plop! fell on Felix with her hair flying outward, not knowing where she exactly landed, on his chest or leg. Either way, it didn't feel right.
But this is something she'll never forget at all. When she fell, she figured out she has fallen in his chest with Felix not even twitching on the force on him. He was dead asleep.
Sheba sighed of relief and she was just about to stand up when she felt something warm grabbing her arm swiftly and pulling her back of where she stood up. Ack! It's Felix! I think he's sleep-not-walking-but-acting act! I-I- her thoughts were not completed. Felix wrapped his arms around her, still asleep. Sheba blushed so much and her heart ran 300 mph, but at the same time, it felt warm and cozy. His body was warm and cuddly like a bed. Sheba just sat there, "staring into space" position. Part of Sheba wanted to scream, holler and run away, but another piece tells her to relax…its cool.
Sheba felt her eyelids suddenly became heavier and heavier. She leaned back and felt Felix's soft breathing above her head. She smiled and tucked her head under his, and soon enough she fell into a wonderful sleep.
