Chapter eighty-nine: "End Of Me"

I rubbed my nose and groaned in pain "What the hell is your chest made out of? STEEL!?" I asked him loudly, it felt like my nose got crushed.

Cloud snorted "People say I have rock hard abs but that's a first"

He was only wearing a towel to cover his lower parts "Why didn't you bring your clothes in the shower" I narrowed my eyes at his face
Too much staring can make him assume that I like him and that is a risk factor I'm never gonna take

"What? Are you gonna hit me again?"

"Just move Cloud, I need to wash too"

He moved out of the bathroom and used both hands to point directly in the bathroom, I grabbed the towel that is in the bathroom and put down the clothes on the shelves. Before I closed the door I could see Cloud's broad back as he wore a t-shirt
His everyday workouts are paying off real good

What the fuck did I just say in my head?!

Maybe I need a hot bath to wake up my drowsy head a bit, being sleepy can make you think a lot of things that were never meant to be thought of too deeply.

I removed my dirty clothes and gather them all on the counter and hopped into the shower, the hotel gave us soap, shampoo, and conditioner. How thoughtful. Although I did bring my own Shampoo since my hair is frizzy and I can't risk it by having another product being used on.

As soon as the hot water touches my skin my stiff body finally relaxes from the intense day I've had, well, it's not intense but I did have a great time during the train ride. My thoughts suddenly went to Abby who saw Cloud across the train station among the crowd

When her eyes met Cloud's it gave a sense of longing and warmth, she was a lovely girl. Pretty in fact. She was so nice even though she found out about my relationship
But why do I feel scared?

Like if I don't hold on to Cloud he will go straight to her arms, I was getting mixed emotions and my chest feels so tight like I couldn't breathe that I have to put a hand over my chest just to check if my heart is still beating. I turned off the shower faucet and grabbed the soap
What kind of history do they have and how come nobody knows Abby?

If anything I would like to ask Cloud but that would only make his ego higher if he assumes that I might be jealous

I hurried and finished up showering before drying myself with the fluffy towel, putting on my clothes quickly, and continued drying my hair with the towel right after. Before I could turn the doorknob there was a woman's giggle on the bedroom

Slightly opening the door and peeked through the small opening, Abby was at the door talking to Cloud with a huge smile on her face
Why do I care?

I shrugged off this weird feeling and stepped out of the bathroom while drying my hair, it caught their attention and Abby's eyes has a hint of shock, and her hands that was playing with her hair stopped all

"Angel"

"Hm?" I snapped out of my thoughts once he called out to me

He pointed his finger at the floor "You're wetting the floor again"

The floor was indeed wet, I was supposed to go to the bed "We aren't in the penthouse anymore Cloud"

He rolled his eyes and sigh before taking long strides to take my towel out of my hand
It seems that he doesn't like wetting the carpet or the floor

Cloud was drying my hair and scolding me "If you leave the floor wet you are gonna slip and fall that you might hit your head in the process, can't have your brain get any smaller do we?" That was the final straw before I glared at Cloud and punches him in the stomach

"cAn'T HaVE yOur BRain GEt aNy SmalLeR dO wE? SERIOUSLY!?"

Cloud quickly recovered from that punch and stood up straight "Lucky for me I am used to your violence" he fixed his shirt and smirked at me

We heard someone clear their throats and we both turned our heads to see Abby still at the door, she was standing there awkwardly and she was not looking either at me or Cloud but the hand with the towel that Cloud is using to dry my hair. Nick looked so bored waiting outside "What are you guys doing in there? I want food and I don't want a couple fight to stop me from eating!" He complained out loud to us

I removed the towel and grabbed the hairbrush that I put on the nightstand
I'll brush my hair while we go to dinner

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

While walking I brushed my hair but my hair was so tangled and wet it was a bit hard, Abby wanted to tag along and Cloud seemed to be okay with it so nobody spoke about it. Nick and Nikki was walking beside me while Cloud and Abby were behind us talking and laughing

I don't seem to understand what they were saying because everything that Abby is talking about is an inside joke with Cloud, only the both of them could understand

We decided to eat at Mcdonald's since it is closer and the only seats available is the booth at the corner, I sat beside Nikki and Cloud sat in front of me with Abby beside him. Nick grabbed a chair and sat at the middle

He asked us what we wanted so he can order and I just wanted a Big Mac with fries, the rest told their orders to Nick and he got up to order at the cashier. My phone got a notification and I looked to see that Aiden messaged me

Music Geek: Hey where are you? I tried to look for you but I don't seem to know where you are?

He then sent a crying baby gif

A small giggle escaped from my lips

Pip: Guess where I am

Music Geek: If I did know where you are I'm not gonna ask you

Pip: I'm staying overnight at a hotel because tomorrow we will leave to go to Banff

Music Geek: We?

A grin has spread across my face, I turned on the video in my camera and focused it on Nikki "Say Hi!"

Nikki waved at the camera, I then focused the camera on Nick who is waiting in line then shifted it to Abby and Cloud "Say Hi to Aiden"

He rolled his eyes and flipped his finger at the camera, I turned off the recording "Hey! That wasn't nice"

"You're not nice either Angel" he mumbled

I sighed and sent the video to Aiden anyway, can't do anything about Cloud

Music Geek:...

Music Geek: You guys didn't invite me

He then sent a depressed baby bear gif

Pip: I'll go to your first concert as we agreed, don't worry

I sent a happy Darwin from Amazing World of Gumball

I decided to shift his attention so he wouldn't feel sad, this trip with Cloud's friends was sudden and unplanned, I could hear Cloud and Abby's voices but it was all drowned out when I talked to Aiden
I feel like there aren't any worries when I talk to him

At the corner of my eye, Cloud was talking to Abby but he sometimes peeks at me smiling at my phone and his face is now frowning. Why is he frowning? Shouldn't he be thrilled he is talking to his friends beside him?

Aiden sent me a picture of some people he is with right now and all of them are musicians who will be with him to make his music

Music Geek: Can't wait to introduce you to these guys, they'll be thrilled. They've been wanting to meet you since I told them about our childhood

I didn't know that Aiden talked about our childhood with his buddies, he seems to be happy where he started learning music and I just so happen to be included in the story. Nick finally arrived with our food and we ate silently because we were so focused on eating a lot

Abby kept staring or peeking at me in any way she can while I eat, it feel uncomfortable knowing that someone is watching you while you eat
What does she want from me?

It was unnerving that it made me give the other half of my burger to Nikki since I lost my appetite, Abby was acting weird and I think I know why

It's because of the guy in front of me who is dipping his fries in ice cream before eating it, I swear to God, Cloud Marshall will be the end of me if this relationship continues
