Everything is quiet. Nobody is talking. My apartment feels like nobody’s home even though Tala and I are here. We’re both facing each other but the difference is that I’m looking straight at her while she’s looking at the floor. And then-

“IM SO SORRY!” She stood up and bowed her head.

“Which one? The cafeteria incident or the clinic surprised?” Said I teasing her.

I can see her getting red like she’s about to cry because of guilt.

“So you do talk naturally?” I said then crossed my arms.

This time Tala looks at me with her guilty eyes. She even scratched her head.

“I have some explanation for that hihi~”

“Make it reasonable” Said I then smirk. Tala whole body began to shake starting like a little kid.

“Do you remember when I bit you?” She asked nervously. I didn’t answer with words, just nodded.

“Well that moment I bit you- uhm- I kinda borrowed some of your knowledge. Like your language and-“ Tala suddenly stops for a moment.

“And?”

“I also accidentally borrowed some of your memories hihi” Said Tala. You can see through her that she’s ready to run in any moment now because sometimes I threw my pillow whenever she’s doing something stupid.

And when I say sometimes.

It’s always.

“ITS WAS AN ACCIDENT I DIDN’T MEAN TO! Huehue~” said Tala while covering her face.

“What memory did you received?” I calmly asked.

“Hmm let me think for a sec- hmm- about how you are deeply inlove with Catarina- yeah that’s rig-“ She wasn’t able to finish her statement.

“Is that so?” I said then slowly walking toward her.

“Ye-yes? Hehe”

The moment I stood up in front of her, I gave Tala a beautiful smile.

“I forgive you” Said I.

“You do?” She cheerfully asked while seeing her hand hugging each other.

“I do after I hit you with this pillow!”

“Ehhhh?!” She shouted and started to run.

I never thought she can run that fast. I follow here from the living room, to the kitchen, to the bathroom even though we barely move until we ended up in my room.

I threw it at her and luckily I did hit her. She fell down through my bed and scratching her head.

“Headshot!” I shouted while raising both of my hand.

Tala stared at me with her adorable angry face. She’s pouting right while her hands are between her legs. Tala’s fast movement allow her to get the pillow I threw and wanted to throw it back to me.

“Here I go!” She shouted while laughing.

“No you don’t!” I answered then without thinking twice I jumped on the top of her.

I locked both of her hands and we’re both laughing to each other like we were friends for so long.

Then laughter started to fade. There’s a sudden silence between he two of us. My hands are still on hers. Our body aren’t moving.

Tala’s eyes meets mine. Straight to each other. I don’t know why our body aren’t moving.

My face are quite close to her. I can feel her breathe through my face. Tala’s pulse seems to be beating so fast, so does my heart. Her face becomes red.

As I look at her. She’s not actually just a girl.

She’s actually a beautiful woman.

Until I realized this is an awkward position. Me on the top of hers. I slowly removed my hand and sit beside her.

“Sorry” Said I.

Tala did sit beside me too, putting her head against my shoulder. Tala’s head is kind a little heavy but I can manage.

“Nah it’s fine” said Tala with her sweet voice.

Then suddenly I can feel something heavy through my face. She hit me with a pillow.

Dammit! I let my guard down. She jumps up the bed and about to run.

At that moment I realized something.

“Hey Tala, you’ve been using my clothes until now?” I asked while looking at her through bottom to top.

Tala’s wearing my red shirt. It’s oversized when she’s wearing it.

“Uhmm. Yeah! Sorry about that I have nothing to wear aside from your clothes so yeah! Hehe” she answered.

“Then why didn’t you buy some clothes when you had the money to buy school uniforms and materials?!”

“Well that’s a different story hehe”

I sighed and her tilted a little like a confused puppy.

“How about we go for a shopping tomorrow?” I asked.

Tala’s about to smile but she turned around and shouted-

“Sure! It’s a date then!”

“Wha-“

“Just kidding! Hehe” teased Tala then completely ran away.

The moment she’s completely gone. I confusedly touched my chest. Why does my heart is beating too fast? What is this feeling? Just nervous probably.

As I touch my chin-

“Hey! About our date tomorrow! What should I wear if I have nothing to wear?” Coming from nowhere she popped up.

“Just use your skirt and I’ll just let you borrow some of my shirt tomorrow”

“Okay then!” Said Tala gladly and without me knowing it again.

She threw me another pillow.
