Chapter 166 - Truce (1/2)

(Tom's PoV)

I was right when I thought that I knew the man; Siji, I mean. I always knew he wasn't the common ghost that we knew, that he was something more than that. To my surprise, I was right. He was the adviser of First Army, or White Army.

The last time I saw Siji was when he sent me back to my body, but at that time, I thought he was only a bodyguard sent by her ancestors to protect her. Only after I knew her identity as the Master of White Army that I realized how much my girlfriend had changed.

Of course, she changed to be a better self.

However, the moment I laid my eyes on her, my surrounding seemed to blur. I was a bit surprised when I saw Sanjaya the moment the door was opened. Seeing that he remembered me and acted guarded against me made me a bit uneasy. He didn't even ask why I remembered him and how I got here, instead he asked why I was here. It was as if I was not welcomed in the house and he was guarding a very precious treasure.

Since I didn't really like him, my answer towards him was a bit hostile, too. For a second, I thought that he was the Master, but thankfully Siji said it was not him. I really forgot that the one I saw that night was a woman.

Then, I heard her voice. My whole body stiffened for a split second as I recognized that voice. How could I forget her voice? My body acted before I knew it and I had barged my way into the house. Sitting on the couch with a pair of curious eyes was the one I had longed to see for months. Her wavy hair was tied in a bun with some shorter strands framed her oval face. Her curious eyes widened as she got up and walked closer to me hastily, anxiety was clear in her eyes.

I stood rooted on the ground, waiting for her to reach me since I was too afraid I couldn't hold myself back if I were to make the first move. But, she stopped. She might be thinking that it was not me, and on the next second she would think it was me.

If she were not to move, then I would make my move. I couldn't wait, so I pulled her into my bear hug. The feeling of her warm flesh against my body felt so good that I couldn't help but feel emotionally moved and physically aroused.

As her scent drifted into my nose, I nearly lost my mind. Why did she have to smell so intoxicating? Was this the effect of being abstain from any s.e.x.u.a.l intercourse for months? But, even when I was still in the hospital, no matter how s.e.xy the nurses there, I wouldn't feel aroused at all. And because my memory of Jane mostly had been taken away by that creature, I couldn't think of her at all since I couldn't picture her in my mind.

Now that she was in front of me, I could feel her warmth, smell her scent, and touch her body, I could feel my own blood and heat went south and nearly blanked my mind. I had to fight so hard with myself to control my primal urge.

She had that effect on me! But, I didn't know it would this strong.

Easy, boy, calm down. Easy! I reminded myself over and over.

Until I felt her tears and heard her sobs. All the pervert thoughts flew away, leaving only worry and anxiety over what made her cry.

”I thought you forgot about me.” She said between her sobs and I secretly breathed out a sigh of relieved when I heard the reason she was crying.

Pushing myself so that I could see her, I saw her eyes were red as tears streaming down her cheek. Not only her eyes, even her cheeks and nose were red. Seeing her like that, I felt guilty for making her worry about me. But, she was so cute, reminding me that time when I saw her crying in our room.

”How could I?” I wiped clean her tears with my thumbs as I smiled gently at her. She was still saying what made her anxious and I couldn't help but laugh when all the reasons she said were exactly like those in the drama in the television.

She was so cute like that, but I knew better than to tease her at this moment. I didn't want to ruin our reunion with my teasing. However, there was one person who ruined that moment.

Sanjaya.

Long story short, we had a long talk while Siji and Jane were waiting in the kitchen. I was still feeling displeasure with the presence of Sanjaya, especially when he reminded me that he was Jane's fiance.
