Chapter eighty-seven: "Absolute Fool"

"Wait what?" I shaked my head trying to comprehend what does he mean that I continue sleeping with him? I already am sleeping with him so what does he want now?!

Cloud was amused at my loss for words and confusion "Angel, I said continue sleeping with me even after graduation"
How on earth am I supposed to do that!? We are going to different colleges and this is what he wanted for me to repay him?

I guess it's better than paying for the ridiculously expensive seat that he has paid for me, I rested my elbow at the armrest as I watched the buildings pass by while we are on our way to Banff. The train was pretty quiet as 5 hours has passed, people at first were loud when the train started to move and now I could only hear whispers and snores from a lot of them

Cloud was super focused on reading a light novel that he has brought and I kind of got bored since I've been scrolling through social media for a long time that I'm starting to get a bit dizzy, Alice posted another party while being with Will who was holding beer cans.

Jane had a large group photo with her book club members, and Yara has posted another ero-novel in her e-book account

I was then starting to doze off slowly as I can feel my head getting heavier until rested it on the backrest of the comfy chair that I was sitting on
I must be a bit tired since I woke up too early

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

I could hear the announcer that we were almost near the station in 10 minutes, blinking my eyes multiple times I noticed that my head was rested on Cloud's shoulder. There was a small blanket that covered the both of us and he was eating cheese flavored chips while watching biology on his phone with earphones on

"We're almost near, better wake up the twins" he said to me then right after fed me a chip, the chip was delicious by the way

I inserted my arm through the gap of our chairs to reach out to wake up Nick, he was sleeping while sitting up which is something I have never seen someone do before because I know for a fact that Cloud can't even do that since he would tend to hit his head on either of the chairs or the window

It's because during our field trip to have our recreational camp, Cloud did take a small nap but that made him hit his head at the chair in front of him 2 times and almost broke the bus window when the bus took a sharp turn
It was disastrous

I shake him gently at first but he wasn't waking up then I shook him violently, so violently in fact that he was startled awake, and had his sister wake up with him also. They both glared at me and I returned it with a sheepish smile "Sorry"

"It's ok, you should've just woke me up first since I can wake up easier than stone head beside me" Nikki pointed to her brother using her thumb. Nick checked out the window and has his jaw dropped again, the ride was fun and the view was stunning but it has to end because it was sunset and we needed to sleep overnight at a hotel

I stretched my entire body once I stood up from the seat, my legs felt like they were squeezed very tight because I have my legs in an Indian seating position on the chair. There was a lot of legroom in gold leaf but I feel more comfortable me having my legs in a cross-legged seating position. Cloud stretched along with me and it did catch a lot of the passenger's attention once they saw his face

There were a group of girls who were gawking at him 3 rows away from us and they were taking secret pictures of him, I saw everything in the corner of my eyes. I tried to warn Cloud about it but he didn't seem fazed at the creepy behavior of the girls "Don't mind them" he mouthed to me

"They can only see not touch" he smirked proudly before putting on the coat and folding the small blanket that we used

I rolled my eyes at his ego again because it's hard not to, it's not hard to ignore his alluring face, heck, even the train stewardess couldn't take their eyes off of him once Cloud stood up to stretch. Nick and Nikki got the same attention as Cloud did
Not gonna lie, even the twins have charming faces but compared to Cloud he was more fascinating

I could feel the eyes that were admiring the three land on me, I was seated among them and they would be curious why am I hanging out with these good-looking people. It made me feel like they can see through me and it was making me uneasy

Turning my back and started to search for my scarf on my chair, I removed my scarf because the train has a great heating system so I didn't need it "Have any of you guys seen my scarf?" I asked them while frantically searching under my seat, I fell asleep and the scarf must have fallen on the floor

"You mean this?" Nick grabbed something under his seat and there he held my scarf in front of me with one hand, a sense of relief took over me and it was the most satisfying feeling in the world

If any of you wanted to know why I was searching for my scarf frantically because the scarf was gifted to me by Mom and Dad that wasn't an academic book on my 14th birthday, I was extremely happy that the last time they gifted me anything but an academic book must have been my 1st birthday all the way to my 4th birthday

I treasured the scarf that I even sowed my initials on it if it ever gets lost "Thank you"

Nick wrapped the scarf around me but he wrapped it too tightly that I almost couldn't breathe because it was choking me

Nikki elbowed her brother "Nick, her face is turning blue!"

Cloud shifted his attention from his baggage to me and quickly helped me remove the scarf around my neck, he glared at his best friend who has a worried and apologetic face "You almost killed Angel dude"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I'll tell you what, I'll buy her dinner later" Nick checked my pulse and face

Cloud gave him the look "That job is taken by me you absolute fool"

Haha, an absolute fool

Nick may be a goofy guy but he has a big heart alongside Jane in my group of friends, I noticed it from the beginning. It wouldn't be obvious when he acts around his sister but he truly cared for her because he requested me to keep an eye on Nikki while we go out shopping and he even took care of her when she injured her ankle right after the marathon

Like Will, he is the big brother everybody couldn't have since it will be too good to be true

He was so sorry for what he did that he even volunteered to carry my luggage but I think that it might be a little too far so I declined his volunteer, I kept an eye out for my family as we get off the train. It was a bit nerve-wracking since there were a lot of people at the train station

"Cloud?" We heard a girl's voice call out to Cloud and we turned to see a gorgeous short blonde hair and blue-eyed girl

Cloud stopped frozen in his tracks "Abigail?"
