I was in the middle of making dinner when Cloud suddenly joined in and helped me, he was focused on cutting the onion chives expertly and I started making the soup. We ate dinner quietly, it was not awkward but I felt a small tension between us because of what happened at school

We finished dinner and left the dishes in the dishwasher, I turned myself around after I took out the books we need for the study when I was instantly met with dark forest green eyes. He put both of his hands on my shoulder and pushed me gently until I can feel my back hit the bookcase

"I want you to stay away from him" he told me in a low voice that is almost a growl

I bit my bottom lip in frustration that Cloud is becoming weirder "What did Aiden do that will make you want me to be away from him?" I leaned back at the bookcase that he pinned me on

His face got closer to mine's until our noses touch "can't you just listen without knowing the reason right now Angel?" He asked me

I gritted my teeth "no" I slipped out of the cage he made from him and the bookcase and stepped out of the library to sit at the dining table, I opened the book and stopped at the page where we left last night. He leaned at the door frame at the library as he crossed his arms at me

I put both of my arms at the table "well?"

He scoffed at me "you can't even listen to me so why should I listen to you?" His statement made my eyes wide with shock

Dear God he is petty

I clenched my hands a bit under the table in annoyance "fine" I let out angrily at him which made him smile with pleasure

He sat next to me and I pushed the chair away a bit further from him, he noticed what I was doing and raised a brow at me. He used his arms and pulled me close to him, even more closely than it was before I moved my chair away from him

"You're not going anywhere further from me Angel" he teased me, giving him my grumpy look as I look out at the view from the terrace. He cleared his throat and I glanced at him

"Let's start"

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

I feel like I lost my soul during the study since I have to answer the practice questions that Cloud gave me to practice the formula's in Math, I was tired in school and even in the penthouse I was even more tired

Cloud didn't even look that much tired

Or is he acting again?

I was about to pick up the books after we study when he suddenly spoke

"Leave them"

I furrowed my brows in confusion to what is going on in his head for him to think that "we are going to study tomorrow anyway so it would be a hassle of putting them back in the library"

I leaned my arm at the book tower that I just stacked for to make it easier to me who was supposed to carry it back in the library "then where am I supposed to put the books then?"

He tilted his head to a small chest at the side of the stairs"leave it in there"

I opened the chest and it was empty but clean, it was almost like an old Victorian chest that is used for travelling. I put the books and notes in it and locked the chest after

"It's time to rest" I told Cloud who was again looking up at the stars in the sky with both of his hands in the pocket of his sweatpants

"There is still time before my bedtime" he looked at the clock that was above the lamp, a small smile slipped from my lips "you have a bedtime?"

He gave me the look "we slept at exactly 10 last night" I raised my brow at him "you did but you woke up at midnight so it didn't make much of a difference"

He sat on a chair on the terrace and I followed him as I step out I was met with a strong breeze that made me cold but I liked it, he lay down on the sunbed and was gazing up at the stars

I went to the edge of the terrace and the view was breathtaking up at the penthouse, I can see both the urban and suburban areas especially where my house is located. The city lights were beautiful up here too, it was a bit noisy from the cars down below but that is the least of my problems

"How pretty" I said to myself as I admire more the view that was in front of me, my eyes had the urge to look up at the sky and it was filled with stars that shine bright like diamonds. Now I understand why Cloud kept looking up from the terrace, I didn't get a good look at the sky from yesterday so seeing it now made my mouth slightly open with awe

My eyes went down to look at Cloud but he was missing from the sun's, he was now sitting on a chair from the dining room and was looking through a telescope. I sat at the arm of the outside couch beside him and waited for him to finish, after he was done I asked him "can I look too?"

He moved the telescope a bit and gave me room to see it, as soon as I look through the telescope I saw a woman changing at the from of her window. My usual instinct kicked in and I stomped his feet

"If you have time to be a pervert, why don't you have time to get your sleep? That's it I'm going to bed first!" I started to march my way to the bedroom

He was stifling his laughter but held his foot that was in pain from me stomping on it "I'm just joking Angel" he stopped me by holding my elbow, he moved the telescope to its original position then he moved again for me to see. A gasp escaped my mouth as soon as I saw it

There were many stars even more than the naked eye can see without the telescope, it is almost like I am in outer space at how millions of them can be seen. I compared what I'm seeing to the telescope vs my naked eye looking up at the night sky

"So this is why you like being here" I said as I kept looking through the telescope, I felt a tap on my shoulder and my attention was put on Cloud that was holding a book about stars. We sat on the porch and he told me some facts about outer space that I got interested in

We were sitting on the couch near the telescope for a long time and a yawn escaped from my mouth, he stopped talking and looked at me

"Go on I'm listening" I was really listening since this is the first time I see Cloud so interested in something and was excited to talk about it, so I am curious about it too

"You're sleepy Angel, we also have school tomorrow and I don't want you to keep pinching yourself since that is self-harm" he closes the book that was in his one hand and stood up to walk back to the library to put it back, I leaned back at the soft outdoor couch and took one final look up at the sky

I raised one arm at the sky like I'm trying to catch a star that was glued to the atmosphere "if I catch you.." I say out loud as I try to reach the bright star then suddenly a hand popped out of nowhere and held my hand

I stretch my neck back to see Cloud holding my hand, he looked down on me because he was standing up and I was sitting on the couch "time to sleep Angel"

There was a warm feeling on my face as I quickly pull my hand away from him, I nodded my head "of course, see you in the bedroom" I answered as I slowly rise from the comfortable couch and stepped back into the penthouse

I jogged to the bedroom to sleep that I've been dying to do all day, Cloud was sitting at one side of the bed and patted the spot next to him. I took my hotdog pillow and hugged it as I sat beside him feeling the very soft mattress that we are going to sleep on
