I Better Purchase Some Locks

Chapter forty-six: "I Better Purchase Some Locks"

I observed the picture to find out that it was our picture when we were little and there was a girl that looked a tad bit similar to the statue back at the palace garden
I think I remember her slightly, she came to our school to visit Cloud on his birthday that day

Her eyes were as breathtaking as Cloud's since they were the exact forest green eye colour that we always associate Cloud's eye with, it was a quick and sudden meeting from her but from the moment I met her I knew she was sweet because of the way she presents herself and how she talks with everyone is very kind
Now that I think about it, I haven't asked Cloud about that girl

Her face was almost erased by a burnt part of the picture like it was supposed to erase her in our group pic, all that was left was half of her face and the small part of her dress being shown
Did he burn it?

I raised my head to look at Cloud who was walking back to the car carrying the telescope, his resting face doesn't convey any emotion but why do I feel he is emitting sadness? He opened the trunk and shoved the telescope in before closing it and hoped into the driver's seat

"Hey Cloud I have a question" I told him as I held up the picture

I pointed to the girl who was almost disappeared in the photo "Do you happen to know who this girl is? I feel like I have met her bef-" he instantly grabbed the photo and angrily shoved it in his pocket

His dark eyes landed on me as his grip on the steering wheel was so tight it was making his knuckles white "Where did you get it?"

"It was under my seat" I explained myself
"You were taking so long that I noticed it when I am looking for something to entertain myself in your car" I added

He started the engine of the car "Don't be so nosy Angel, that's a bad habit"

I scoffed then turned to face the window looking outside "I'll be going somewhere with Aiden on Thursday after school"

That immediately took his attention as he stepped on the brake to fully look at me "Where are you guys going?" He asked me with such serious eyes

I gave him the look as I pinched his nose "Don't be so nosy Cloud, that's a bad habit" I let go of his nose and I try to tell him to prove my point

"Alright what I said was a bit one-sided but you have to tell me" he continued to keep asking me and he doesn't want to stop

"Goddamn! Can't you shut up!?" I yelled at him and he gave me his widest grin "Not until you will tell me where you two will be going"

I plastered a forced smile on my face "You don't even have the right reason to ask!"

He doesn't seem to be bothered by my question "I do, technically since you're my pillow buddy and a girlfriend in front of your family, so yeah Angel I do have the right credentials to ask you the reason"

"My family won't even ask where I am going since they only know that I am living with you and besides it's not like you are not used to sleeping alone before"

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him that the only thing that was keeping us apart is the cup holder in between the both of us "Well guess what? I have gotten used to you putting me to sleep that I can't sleep without beside me"

"You're not a baby Marshall" I retorted

"But I do have a babyface"

The ego on this person is just annoying
He raised his chin up slightly showing me that he won our little bicker

I smirked at him "As if I would tell you"

"Oh, you will later"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We came back to the penthouse and the feeling of slamming my body on the bed sounds just right to me so I dropped my bag near the spiral stairs and ran straight to the bedroom happily laying on the bed, Cloud went into the bedroom without his shirt on and was drinking water from a bottle

After he closed the bottle with a cap, he started taking long strides to me and I can start to sense the mischievousness that he was hiding behind his serious face. Before I could run away from laying on the bed he pulled both of my feet were pulled by him

He pinned me down from both of my sides trapping me "Tell me where you are going" he demanded and I stuck out my tongue at him a little

His lips formed a smirk and he started tickling both of my sides which is my weakness, I was laughing so hard that I can't take it anymore "Cloud stop!" I said loudly

"Not until you tell me where you are going" he said to me as he stopped for a moment

"Never" I tried my best running away but he always managed to catch me and started tickling me at all of my weak spots

"Alright, alright, we're going to watch an ice hockey game!" I gave up and told him, he has a face of pure satisfaction that he managed to make me tell him

I catch my breath as he finally stopped tickling me, my hair was a mess and my shirt was up showing my belly button and almost showing the bottom hem of my bra. My face flushed instantly as I pulled it down, Cloud's eyes were still glued to looking where the hem of my bra is shown even though my shirt covered it up "If you don't stop looking I poke your damn eyes"

He shrugged one of his shoulders "At least I saw something great before I go blind"

I squinted my eyes at him as I make a thin line with my lips, he ignored my gaze when he put on a long-sleeved dark blue shirt

"You Hungry? I'm ordering pizza" he told me as he stepped out of the bedroom to go to the couch in the living room, my eyes widened when he said pizza
MY BELOVED!!

I ran to the living room to see him on the telephone ordering already, with his feet up on the couch. After he finished ordering I grabbed the remote that was on the desk and turned on the TV with a late-night show appearing

A random thought came into my head as I sat on the other long couch
How is he so calm about me spending time with Aiden on Thursday?

I shake my head, if I ask him he might change his mind. We heard the elevator chime so we both turned our heads facing the elevator, it was the twins who came in holding mac and cheese in a bowl
"Did Mom send that?" Cloud asked Mason as Oliver put down the mac and cheese on the island counter

"Yeah, she made too much that she decided to give you and your girlfriend the rest. She heard from Penelope's Mom she has a big appetite so Mom made us send the food " Mason answered as he sat beside me on the couch watching the late-night show with us

Oliver started talking "Mom told us that your Mom said to her that you gobble up the kitchen at midnight when given a small bite of food, that is why every cabinet especially the fridge is locked up"

Cloud looked at me with a horrified look "I better purchase some locks" he mumbled as he changed the channel on the TV with the remote
