Chapter twenty-seven: "A Bunny"

I pulled the duvet to cover us as I snuggle to the hotdog pillow that is the only thing separating me and Cloud, he was laying on his side facing me. I started to think up some kind of topic for us to talk about so he can keep talking and hopefully he would eventually fall asleep

"So random question but what is your favourite animal?" I asked him and he was deep in thought, a hair fell off on his face as he keeps thinking

He shrugged "I don't have any favourite animal, I'll just say tiger" he said "what about you?"

"A bunny" I gladly answered "if I ever move out and have my own place I would get a bunny as a pet" I was already imagining my own life and place that I can enjoy, the fluffiness of a baby bunny is just heaven and adorable

It seems my face was too obvious to Cloud who was gazing at me "a bunny sounds nice since they are quiet, how about a dog too?"

"Do you think a bunny and a dog could get along?" I asked him since if we left a bunny and a dog alone, God forbids what will happen between the two animals. He turned to lay flat on his stomach as he pulled out something from the bedside drawer

It was a blank notepad and a pencil, he started drawing and I lay flat on my stomach as I scoot closer to him to look closer "if we choose a certain type of dog breed that is gentle maybe they will get along" he said as he was concentrated in drawing a bunny

I took my phone out and search for gentle dog breeds "a golden retriever is first on the list" I showed him the picture of the dog and his quick hands started drawing it next to the bunny

Compared to the size of the bunny the dog was very big, he was very skilled in drawing not gonna lie "so in that secret notebook of yours what do you draw in there?"

He gave me a funny look and a small smirk formed on his lips "I draw things that I want"

His statement left me confused, I tilted my head slightly to the left "but you do have everything you want" my answer made him have a deep chuckle that erupted from his chest

"Not everything Angel, some things are hard to get. The more you can't have it the more you want it" he was starting to make me feel like an idiot, I groaned and scratched the side of my head
What on earth could a rich boy want that he couldn't have?

He finished the drawing and showed it to me properly, the bunny was asleep at the protection of a big golden retriever who was also asleep "Dad would have taken you as an apprentice if he could but he is too much of an introvert other than my family"

"Becoming an artist is great too but I still would like to think about the Astronomer career"

"You seriously took my suggestion?" I gave him a bewildered look in surprise, he pulled out his phone and showed me his notes inside

"So These are some careers that I would possibly like to have but I have to cross out some since I have to narrow it down to three" he gave me the phone as I read it out loud

"So your first option is to be a Chemist?" He nodded

"I like science so any career that has science would make me interested especially Chemistry"

I continued reading the next career option "A Surgeon"

"Woah" I let out, Cloud didn't show any signs that he was wanting to be a surgeon. Cloud's face though has a different reaction

"My Mom wanted me to be a Surgeon since her side of the family is filled with many great accomplished doctors and she got her talent from her Dad" he was not happy about the thought of adding the surgeon to his list of possible careers, I read the last one

"The last one is..Astronomer" he added it on the list of his top three careers, his face lit up at the thought of studying about the celestial

I sighed as I kept my eyes on his list "At least you already found your possible career since I am just thinking about mines" I gave him back his phone as I lay on my back on the bed again, my eyes went to the clock that was on my side of the bed

"It's 9:55 we should sleep" I say as I dim down the lights in the bedroom, Cloud pulled the duvet to cover his shoulders and closed his eyes. It was still obvious that he was having a hard time sleeping
Maybe patting him would lull him to sleep

My hand gently rested on his back and I patted it slowly like an adult would do to a baby, Cloud opened his eyes once he realized what I was doing "are you patting me?" He asked me in amusement

"Shush and sleep" I continue patting him, his eyes were slowly but surely falling asleep. I played some oldies on low volume since that works for me to fall asleep, his eyes were looking at me as he was almost falling asleep

His hand reached out for me and cupped one side of my face which I only think of him being too sleepy that he cannot think properly, I just let him touch my face if that is a way to let him sleep. I was focused on patting him to make everything cosy and comfortable to fall asleep

His hand fell down slowly as he closed his eyes and fell asleep
Finally, he fell asleep

I pulled the duvet to cover my shoulders and felt the good feeling of the soft bed and the AC running to make the room cool, I was so tired of everything today in school and studying. I quickly went off to dreamland as soon as I shut my eyes

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

I feel my alarm buzz under my pillow and I pulled my phone out to shut it, the sight in front of me made me beam from surprise. It was Cloud who was asleep next to me, he looks handsome in sleeping too. I slapped myself lightly

What the heck are you thinking Penelope? You just woke up!

I shake him gently on his arm and he shuffled from his side of the bed "Cloud it's morning" I whispered to him, I saw his beautiful green eyes as he opened his eyes to look at me
"Morning Angel" he said in a raspy voice

He blinked his eyes multiple times and even rubbed it "that was a good sleep so how long was that?" He asked me that made me excited to tell him, I sat up quickly and showed him the time on my phone

"It's 5 already in the morning so you slept for 7 hours straight, you did great!" I said to him happily as I jump off the bed and stretched a bit to wake myself up more, Cloud followed me and he started stretching too

He was shocked at himself at how he was a bit more active and energetic as he stood up from the bed quickly "This is the first time I feel more awake" he stretched his arms and legs

"So this the feeling that you always get when you wake up after a good sleep" he told me in astonishment in the realization I get to have that good feeling all the time after I sleep

I gave him a worried look "I just hope this would continue all the time" I told him as I rubbed one of my arms, his hand went to his messy bed hair
"Then you'll just have to sleep with me to help me sleep again"

He made it sound so easy for me to help him sleep, I walked out of the bedroom to prepare breakfast as I hear the shower from the master's bedroom bathroom open. As I finished setting up the table and finalising cooking breakfast I felt to arms from behind me encircle my waist and lift me up which made me startled and squeal

"Cloud what are you doing!?" I asked him as I was trying to maintain my balance since he is holding me up by my waist, I giggling that I try to get off from his tight hold on my waist but he wouldn't let go

"Cloud let go or else the food would get cold" I told him with a grin and he finally put me down and I feel my feet touch the floor, I was proud of him for finally getting a good rest today

I pour milk into my glass and I asked him "So what's with you carrying me anyway?"

He gulped down the toast "I just felt like I wanted to do it since I feel so energetic right now" he gave me a boyish grin then he ate all of the food that I made for breakfast
His appetite also increased
