74 Time Capsule 2 (1/2)
[Warning 18+]
(Alexandra's POV)
”Hey! Why folded it again? I didn't have time to see it all!” I protested angrily to Stevan.
He was silent in a second, but then he said, ”There's nothing interesting in his letter. Just forget about it.”
I was a little irritated. But, I didn't pursue complaining further.
His tone was a little weird when I tried to ask him again, what's that about Han's letter? Especially, when he looked at the drawing. I was wondering 'him' in the letter was Stevan?
I grab my letter and opens it. Stevan too, trying to open the letter as well. I read Laura's letter. She said,
'To the future me,
How are you in 20 years from now? You must be popular as always. I bet your beauty already take over the world. I know you and I are the same, the best girl in the world. Everyone like us because we are pretty. I hope in that age you already married to my dream prince and have five babies with him. Don't forget to always spread your beauty so that all the girls look like a monkey beside you.
-Laura Makoto (8 Years Old)'
Beauty? Best girl? The world? Prince? Five babies?!
Was she (Laura) talking about Han?
What the?
Yes, I forgot that Laura has princess syndrome since she was a child.
I've no interest in Laura's letter. Because the inside was telling you about her childhood dream which doesn't come true in the future. I felt sorry for her old self.
Sighing, I looked at the certain bare chest man beside me. I tried to peek Stevan's old letter next to me. I wonder what he wrote?
He noticed me gazing at his letter. He was guarding the letter so I couldn't see it. ”Why are you looking at my letter?” he asked.
”Why not? I'm interested in it. Why are you blushing?” I asked curiously. Because his ears became red.
Did he write something embarrassed in his letter? Now I became more serious.
”What~ What did you write? Let me see!”
I went to approach him and trying to grab his letter. He noticed and avoided my hands, raising his letter up air. Stevan was surprisingly amused by this. But he didn't want me to read his letter! What a jerk!
I tiptoed and jump trying to grab it. He was taller than me, and I was quite shorter than him. I couldn't help to grab his arm when jumping.
Behind his foot was a small rock. When I tried to corner him, he was stumbling from a loss of balance. Thus, we both fell to the ground.
”Ahh!”
Brack!
He grunted because of the sudden fall. His back was still on the ground while he faces the sky.
I fell to his chest and regain consciousness faster than him.
Oh my, I touched his muscle!
But I divert my weird thought to focus on grabbing his letter on his hand.
Got it!
I open it and began to read it. I ignore the sound of a grunted man below me. He said in his letter,
'To the future me,
I hope you already become a great man who surpasses the current Han. I don't know what'll he become in the future. But I know. He'll become amazing. I want you to become more amazing than him! and for Laura-chan. I will kill you myself if you don't marry Laura-chan and have kids with her. If you don't propose to her in those time, you are not a man! Now! Propose to her! Right now! Don't be a coward!
-Stevan Suzuki (8 years old)'
Wow, what? Could it be the child Stevan could see a future?
Stevan took the letters quickly from my hand and place it on his face. He covered his embarrassing face. He sighed and asked me, ”Can you get off me now?”
”Eh? un...yes.”
I realized that I'm still on his chest. I quickly stood up and coughing to hide my blushing face. He stood up from the ground and began to walk to the hole that we dug. He didn't say words and refilled the dirt as the way before.
He went to his car and I followed him inside.
He only says a few words for time to time. It made us a little awkward. I didn't know what to say as well. After that, he said that I should not come back with dirty clothes so he drove me to his apartment first to shower.
...
Stevan's apartment.
When I came inside his apartment, I felt a familiar feeling. Maybe the old Laura used to play in his apartment. When I tried to see the memories, I think she did. To more convincing, Stevan brought Laura's clothes that she left in his closet, and gave it to me.
Hm?
Weren't they just friends? I mean I realized that Laura didn't have a special feeling to him and harshly reject him a few times. But, was there something I didn't know about the two of them?
When I finished showering, I went to the living room while drying my hair. Stevan was there with his bathrobes, he had done showering too. I couldn't help to blush by the sight. He showed his open chest and those water droplets fell from his hair to his collarbone. Really enticing some thirst.
What? What am I saying?!
I approached him tried to act ignorance and asked him if he could drive me home now.
