Chapter 370 - The Musician (9) (1/2)

”Rika!” Luke shook me awake.

”What?” I groaned, remembering the building in my dream.

I stiffened as I noticed I was still hugging Luke tightly, not leaving much space between us. I immediately unwrapped my arms around him, slowly looking up at his face. Freezing from staring at his beautiful face from just waking up, I quickly turned my head once I came back to my senses. Although I was used to his inhumane beauty from his family descended from fairies, there weren't many times I could see a vulnerable part of him.

His face was brighter and more energized from sleeping with me, unable to continue staying up. I stretched my arms before rolling away from him. There was no way I could get up from the bed, wanting to continue sleeping. My face dug into the pillow as I muttered one more hour of sleep. Luke sighed, leaving me alone once he was freed from my grasp.

”Only for today,” he rose from the bed.

I watched him yawn as he struggled to walk properly, tethering side to side. Opening his marble to prepare to go over today's lesson sent by the teachers, he sat down on the couch. But his eyelids couldn't stop dropping every few seconds, showing he was still tired. He continued to wobble as he tried to keep his eyes open until he found the upper part of his body falling onto the couch. I covered my mouth, trying to prevent myself from thinking he was so cute in trying to not fall asleep.

Giving up with the strong temptation of taking a short nap, he eventually fell asleep with the silence that filled the room. I smiled before deciding to stop watching him and continue sleeping on the bed. Passing the entire day by sleeping, my eyes slid towards the couch, finding Luke was still sleeping. I started to feel bad he was on the couch while I was on the bed. At the same time, I didn't want to wake him up.

I tiptoed around the room, trying not to make a single sound. My stomach growled, being hungry for not eating a single meal yesterday. I slowly turned the doorknob, escaping from the room after silently closing the door. I never knew practicing to softly close the door would ever become helpful.

I almost cheered once I was stepping down the stairs as I could do whatever I wanted while Luke was sleeping. I ran into the dining room where the tablets were located, wondering what to order for breakfast. But I was soon interrupted as I was getting a call from Shelly. While I started to order some cake, I found Alex's face on the video call instead of Shelly. I instantly regretted picking up the call as I hid the tablet behind my back.

”Is there anything you need?” I wondered what was wrong.

”Luke hasn't been picking up any calls yesterday and today,” Alex looked worried for his cousin.

”He's sleeping. We've been both sleeping ever since we arrived here,” I explained.

”I'll come over,” Alex began to get into a hover car.
