Chapter five: "Geeky Dork"

"Ouch" I flinched when the doctor touched my ankle, I was in Cloud's bedroom when he called a doctor to check up on my sprained ankle.

"It is still swelling a bit and you are in pain when it moves so I recommend a lot of rest and putting some ice on your ankle to reduce the swelling, we'll meet again next to check up to check your progress" she smiled at me before packing up her belongings.

"Thanks, doc," I said to her

She waved goodbye to me before exiting Cloud's bedroom, Cloud was leaning at the wall with his arms crossed during the entire check-up.

We heard someone open the front door and I could hear a lot of footsteps before I can see my entire family who came to visit me "Hey Sis!" Natalie exclaimed happily as she walked up to me then hugged me.

"Does it hurt when I touch it?" Ella said as she tries to touch my ankle.

My foot was laid on a pillow for some leverage and to avoid moving much, Mom stopped Ella before her fingertips could touch it.

"Why are you all here?"

"Well you see dear sister, your beloved boyfriend used his family plane to bring all of us here to accompany you and so we can go to the outfit fitting together" Wendy explained.
Wait, I didn't know about this

I turned to face Cloud "You should've told me that they were coming"my mouth formed a wide grin.

He removed his back from the wall then shoved both of his hands deep in his pockets "You look like you needed to see them, I saw you last week glancing at your family photo with a sullen face"

Hold on, I thought he was taking a shower while I did that?

Nevertheless, he still surprised me by flying my family here to visit me

"Thank you"

I appreciate what Cloud did to surprise me because being alone somewhere far away from the people you care about is not the first time for me and yet I have to experience it again. My sisters all decided to hang out in Cloud's bedroom with me while Cloud and both of my parents were out.

Caramia walked around Cloud's bedroom "Who knew a guy like Cloud doesn't have any playboy magazines?" She checked under the clean bed.

Brie checked through the telescope that was facing out the window and said "All we see in his room are full of astronomy books and some science stuff, I think you dated a geek"

"So? I know he is a geeky dork but he is a good boyfriend so I consider that as a plus" I told them proudly

They all shrugged while glancing at each other "As long as you're happy we won't butt in" Adeline comments.

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

It was dinnertime and all of us were gathered around the long rectangular table but even the long table couldn't accommodate us all since there were too many of us, so some of my sisters ate on the couch in front of the TV along with Noah and Liam.

Cloud helped me walk to my chair since I couldn't use my left foot where the sprain was located

"Are you sure you don't want to be carried, Angel? You look like you're in pain"

I kissed his cheek "I love the idea of you carrying me around but that would make me dependent on you"

He played with his mouth while his eyes wandered around "I guess you do have a point"

Cloud gently sets me down on a chair while the rest was already eating, he sat beside me and we ate together.

Eating dinner with my family would be hectic, it was loud and rowdy but it was the very thing that I missed when eating dinner. It was that noise knowing that all of them are here.

After eating, all of them started cleaning since it has now formed into a habit that all of us has a role to play in cleaning. My family also has Asian roots in them so we also adapt the ways of being responsible in cleaning, hence my neat freak attitude because I have an obsession with keeping the place clean.

I was supposed to be in charge of washing the plates but since I couldn't stand up, I was just sitting there awkwardly while everyone cleans. Cloud chuckled at me while he wipes the table "Feeling useless?" He spoke and I nodded

"I'm not used to sitting and watching while they clean"

His hand went to pat my head "Just sit pretty for now since your idiotic decision led you to become like that, there were many ways to save that boy and yet you chose the mascot panda route"
I understand that my decision was idiotic but you don't have to say it out loud

"Isn't that the number one reason why you hate me before?"

"Yes but it was also the same reason that I have to say my feelings to you because I know that before you could say you love me, we would be already dead"

I gave him a sheepish grin "But you still love me right?"

He sighs "What do you think?" A smirk was painted on his face then winked at me before cleaning the floor.

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

Cloud accompanied my family to a hotel where they're staying tonight, I waited for him in his bedroom while looking through the telescope. It was a starry night and the telescope was perfect to see the stars up close.

"I wanna know how on earth does Cloud even identify these stars, they're too similar" I talked to myself as I move the telescope around

When I moved the telescope too much I saw a green eye up close and I shrieked "FUCK!"

I was so freaked out that I took a step back making me use my foot where my sprain was and I fell back down, my entire back hurts from that fall, especially my ankle. I groaned from the pain that spread out through my body.

"SORRY!" Cloud said loudly as he ran to my aid

"Are you hurt anywhere?" He checked my back

I smiled up at him "No, not really, because that fall was so soft I thought my back was hard that I broke the floor" I answered him sarcastically

He matched my annoying smile "Well I guess you're ok"

I stuck out my tongue at him and he copied me before standing up "I'll leave you there, you'll sleep on the floor"

"Wait! Don't leave me here, the floor is too cold" I complained

"I'm sure you'll be fine" he was walking to the door

I crossed my arms at him "Fine, I'll be sleeping here while hugging Bun-bun" my hand reached out to the bunny who was minding his own business.
I know Cloud is jealous of Bun-bun when I cuddle the bunny instead of him

He stopped walking and turned his entire body around to face me who was now hugging the bunny in my arms as I gave him a proud look, Cloud furrowed his brows and squinted his eyes at me "Put that bunny down" he ordered

His demands fell on deaf ears as I continue to ignore him, he became annoyed that he took long strides to grab Bun-bun out of my arms and carefully put him inside his cage.

"I thought you were gonna leave me here on the floor" I teased him

"You're a handful" he mumbled before carrying me to the terrace and sitting me down on his lap while he laid his back down on the sunbed.

I slowly rested my back on his hard chest and I could feel his heart beating behind me. While we were star gazing I heard my phone buzz in my pockets so I pulled it out and it was an unknown number, I answered it and it was a girl's voice was on the other end of the line "Hello?"

"I think you got the wrong phone number?" I asked

There was a small conversation that I heard from the girl to her friends "I thought this is Cloud's phone number"
I got pissed immediately

"If you're looking for him he is sleeping beside me right now"

"Who is this?"

"His girlfriend, bye-bye" I ended the call quickly

Me and Cloud stared at each other for a long time in silence before I broke it off with a question

"Mind explaining" I waved my phone in front of his face as I turned my body around to face him while sitting on his lap

"She wanted my number so I gave yours"

"You could've just turned her down"

Which was the obvious, quick, and easy way to get rid of them

"I wanted to set the line between us that I'm already in a relationship, what better way than my girlfriend answering it?" he grinned

My face turned red
He's really devoted to me, I think I'm too blessed holy fuck

I used both of my hands to hide my tomato-red face, Cloud was amused at my reaction as he tried to remove my hands "What are you so embarrassed about c'mon tell me"
He knew, he just want me to say it

"I'm too lucky" I admitted to him

"What are you talking about? I'm supposed to say that here since I didn't even think I would get this far with you"

I leaned close to him with my hand flat on his chest "And why is that?"

His hand held my hand that was on his chest "Because I thought you would reject me" his voice went low and quiet
I never knew he has that kind of thoughts

I kissed him softly on the lips "Well forget about that, I thought you would prefer a girl who has the same IQ and interest as you"

"Don't you know that opposites attract Angel?" He raised a brow at me

Well we are total opposites in more ways than one
