Chapter 11- Cliff: Mellow Stars

After that kiss, I realized, she was the one.

I grabbed my car keys. I was driving using my new Land Rover.

"Nice car, Cliff." She commented.

"Thanks." I answered.

I opened the car door for her. She seemed…pleased.

But, as soon as I started the engine, the car didn't work!

I looked at my gasoline meter.

"E" I read.

"Claire…I—My car is out of gas…" I rushed.

"Ah! Um—oh, I'll just take a cab." She excused.

"Claire… It's 11 o'clock p.m. Why would anyone still be out?" I asked.

"Yeah… you're probably right. Can I sleep in your house?" she asked.

"What!?" I shouted.

"I—I mean… In a separate room!!!" she protested.

"Oh—yeah. S—Sure." I replied.

"There's a vacant room beside my room, you can stay there. It has a bathroom and a bed. That's good." I continued.

"Oh-okay, thank you." She answered back.

"B-But… I have nothing to wear for the night…" she said.

"Don't worry… you could wear my clothes." I answered happily.

"What?!" she shouted, turning red at the moment.

"Yeah… it's fine. You could wear my clothes for a moment." I replied.

"O-Okay. Thank you." She chatted.

I lent her some clothes, gave her some soap and shampoo so she could clean up.

I looked at the clock. It's 1 a.m. already?

I wondered if Claire was finished, I looked in her room.

I saw her there, in the bed, lying.

It's been a long night, I told myself.

I sat beside her. I brushed away her bangs. She looks beautiful.

A whole hour passed, I didn't want to leave her.

I didn't care if it was 2 a.m. I only care about her. It's just the two of us.

It was getting late. It was only weird if I slept beside her. She would think that I did something to her.

But… I guess a little nap wont hurt…

"Zzzzzzzz…." I said.

I woke up. I looked at the clock, it was 4 a.m. Good thing Claire didn't see me.

I left Claire in the room. I returned to my own room. I didn't want to bother her.

I took a short sleep.

"Gyuhahahaha" I heard, from a voice in front of me.

I peeled my eyes gently. It was Claire.

"You'll never get my diamond, you evil Dwarf!" she shouted.

She went closer to me. I think we're gonna kiss again!

Before I knew it, she slapped me!

"You just got fooled, evil Dragon! I will never fall in love with you!" she exclaimed.

What kind of a dream is she having? Dragons, dwarfs, what else? I said to myself.

I tried waking her up. I was shaking her shoulders.

"Claire! Wake up! Wake up!! Claire!" I shouted.

She slapped me again!

"Claire why won't you wake up!?!" I exclaimed.

"I'm already awake." She said.

"A while ago you weren't." I replied.

"How do you know if I wasn't sleeping or not?" she asked.

"You slapped me!" I responded.

"I did that just for fun! Hee hee!" she joked.

I got kinda mad, but she was so cute that I just went along with it.

"Ha ha ha! Okay." I replied back.

"Sorry." She said.

"Uh… why?" I asked.

"I tricked you." She replied.

"Wah!? It's okay. I do stuff like that all the time! So no need to apologize!"

"Okay. I'm sorry for waking you up." She replied.

"Nah—It's fine." I responded back.

"Let's go back to sleep." I continued.

"Y-Yeah! That's a good idea!" she replied, like she had nothing to say.

We returned back to sleep.

"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" someone shouted, it was coming from Claire's room.

I hurried there. Something might of happened to her!

"Claire! Claire? What's wrong?!" I asked, worried.

I paused as I stared at her.

She was just having a bad dream.

"Claire… wake up. You're in a bad dream." I answered.

"Ugh… Cliff… I need you. It was scary!" She replied.

"Claire… Someone told me that a person will feel better if they talk about their bad dreams…" I chatted.

"R-Really?" she asked.

"Yes…"

"Even when it's about someone you truly love?"

"Yes…"

"Well… Cliff… I—I had a dream that you got bumped by a car…"

"!"

"Yes… and I cried and cried and regret that I haven't been your girlfriend."

"…"

"But now I realized…"

"?"

"You're…"

"?"

"The one…"

"Cliff, I've made my decision already…"

"Really?"

"Yes…"

"…"

"It's… you.

"!"

"I was so blind… I was looking for someone who could truly love me."

"…"

"But… I forgot, that the person who loves me so much… was just the person in front of me. The one that stood by my days of happiness and sorrow, the one that helps me realize who I really am."

"I—didn't know that you really thought of me like that…"

"I really do think of you like that, you're…my prince."

"…"

"Cliff… who am I?"

"You're my princess."

"…"

"I love you."

"I love you too."
