31 Conquer Your Fears (1/2)
Alexi was waiting inside the living room. The day finally shifted into another.
He sighed in relief, ”It is another beautiful morning for me!!” he then glanced at the wall clock that featured a world map at its center. The carefully curated wall clock was an attractive and perfect display for any living room; it added a rusty classic yet elegant touch to the home décor.
”Wow. I cannot believe that I am the one waiting again,” he whined in disappointment.
His right foot was tapping the floor. He was waiting patiently. The sounds of tick-tocks from the wall clock echoed inside the room. It was only Alexi who was sitting on the sofa. The room was lavishly designed yet too bad it was only him who could enjoy the experience.
The room was too great that was suffocating for Alexi.
”We are here!!” Evelina and Alexander exclaimed in unison
Alexi was staring at the ceiling, waiting for a pinnacle of miracle to show up before him.
”Hahahaha… thank you for letting me wait for you. I have been waiting for hours!” he gave them bombardments of complaints.
He ambled towards Evelina and forwarded his head right beside her ear, ”So, what made you late for the training?” his voice was lowered yet it was enough for Alexander to hear and comprehend their conversation clearly.
Alexander grabbed his collar, pulling him beside him, ”I suggest you refrain from babbling gobbledygook. You are the one who is corrupting her mind and I will not allow that,”
He glanced at Evelina, gently grasped her soft and smooth hands, ”Dear, are you alright?”
”I am fine and you do not need to fret,” she assured him. She then grabbed his hands in return.
”I am serious, dear. Do you feel pain in your waist?”
She shook her head, implying disagreement, ”Not at all. I can even show you how to split,”
Hearing her answer, made him even more worried
”There is no need for that, dear,” He condemned her, not wanting her to experience pain.
She raised her eyebrows, ”Why are you so worried?” she asked, curious about his sudden wariness.
”I just want you to be alright,” he patted her head
”She moved his hand away from her head as soon as he patted her head, ”I dare you not to do that,” her eyes glared at him
”Why is it, dear?”
”It is so bothering. I am not a dog. You do not need to pat my head like that,”
He chortled softly, ”Why do you say so? I am extremely fond of dogs. It only means that I care for you,”
She sighed, ”I am already a grown-up lady. Why are you treating me like a child?”
He stroked his chin, as his eyes glanced at the ceiling, ”Hmmm… probably because I want to build a family with you,” he smiled as his eyes landed on her
”That is too early for that,”
”Well, it is very early for you because you are still a mortal,”
”You don't understand, Alexander,”
”What do you mean?”
”Alexander…. Let us not talk about it for now,”
”Oh… alright then,”
”I hope you can understand,”
He then realized that today is her training.
Alexi cleared his throat, ”Are you two done with your conversation?”
”…” Evelina and Alexander remained silent
”I take that as a yes,”
”So, Evelina, I would like you to come with me,” Alexi instructed
”Alright,” she paused, ”May I ask where are we going?”
”I don't know what it is called, but I consider it as a training room,”
Evelina did not ask questions any further. She had no time to dwell in an insignificant matter. After all, there was no time for it.
They were currently heading towards the elevator.
