CHAPTER 29✏️

💖Melvin’s POV❤️
.
My cheeks began hurting as my gaze lingered on Kayla, our eyes boring into Each other’s caused an unexplainable movement in the pit of my stomach and and fast movement in my heartbeat.
My face twitch a little when I began sensing a familiarity in her eyes, I saw someone I’ve met in her eyes, it reminded me of someone but I couldn’t place a hand on who and where.. For a moment, I had a feeling of fulfilment looking at her, it was as if I had found a person I dearly wanted to meet again but I still couldn’t place a finger at ‘why’
I heard the heavy thumping of her heart against my skin..
“Why are you breathing so fast?” I asked and immediately, she lowered her gaze from me.
“Cos I’m terrified! With an unexpected movement like that, who wouldn’t be?” She asked and I laughed. She gave me a frown and nudged her head forward, I was confused at first and she nudged it again, pushing her body upward..
“Oh!” I mumbled and got up from her body. “I’m sorry” I itched my temple
I helped her up and she began swiping off the dust and dirt from her body.
“Okay, what was that about?” She asked, pointing to the trap.
“Oh..I was bored so I made a net trap, I didn’t see you coming and I saw a bird going close to it so I released the net, It was a bit too late when I saw you but I did see you and pushed you off before the net would take you instead” I said, giggling silently at my imagination..
If it had caught kay, it’d have broken no doubt.
“First off, that was a pretty creative idea and work! But again, I’d have filled the place of that bird!” She said, sighing.
“Yeah, but you didn’t. Too bad”
“Wait..what?” She asked, giving me a frown.
“Let’s have bird meat for lunch!” I enthused.
“Geez..no way! Eww!” She primped and walked into the cave.
I laughed and walked to the net, watching the bird struggle to release itself. I smiled and slowly loosened the net off it’s body, it flapped its wing, ready to take off but its feather got caught and trapped, I chuckled and released it again and in a swift flap, it flew off, chirping happily.
I smiled and arranged the net in a s₱0t before walking into the cave to meet Kay.
I saw her focused on connecting a wire to a large and flat object that had little similarity with a phone but it was way bigger and larger.
“What are you doing?” I asked her.
“Trying to connect this to the speaker,” she said, standing up. “And it’s done!”
“Why?” I asked, even though I understood none of what she was saying.
“Remember that movie I told you about? Beauty and the beast? I was able to get it on my phone yesterday so I lent my mom’s iPad so we could watch it together” She explained.
“Ohh..that’s great!” I said.
“I know, right? I’ll just turn it on and we can watch” she worked on some things and the screen began displaying the movie, I could read Beauty and The Beast clearly displayed on the screen.
“It’s starting, come-on!”

🌈Kayla’s POV🌈
.
The animated movie came to an end and Melvin sighed happily.. I walked to it and began taking the wires off the iPad.
“That was epic!” Melvin said and I nodded, pulling the plug standing up. “But some parts were kinda a little weird and unbelievable”
“What parts?” I asked, giving him a glance.
“The part when she fell in love and agreed to marry him” he said.
“And what was weird and unbelievable about that?” She asked, taking the iPad and coming to sit beside him again.
“She was a human though she chose to stay with and marry that beast guy cos of her father but she still was human, yet she fell in love with that..huge and ugly beast even though he was a little grouchy to her. Isn’t that just weird and impossible?” He asked.
“There’s nothing impossible when it comes to love, Melvin” I said “it might only be an animation but it does happen”
“Really?” He asked. “A human falling in love with a beast? ”
I nodded “it’s how love works, it doesn’t matter about how you look or act. When you’re in love you become blind to all faults of that person!”
“Seriously, so if that guy hadn’t become human, she’d have married and stayed with him that way?” He asked again, curiously.
“If she was still in love with him then sure. That’s why love is amazing” I said.
“Really that’s still so hærd to believe, no one ever liked me as a beast, not even for a little bit, when they happen to see me, they always want to kill me, not even a single soul had the tiniest bit of pity talk more of love” he said.
“Not everyone loves a beast Melvin, even I didn’t like you at first but look at us now.. We got to know each other and now we’re best of friends, Belle was a little scared as well of the beast but with time, care crept in, turned to love and surfaced unexpectedly. It’s strange but love works in different form and with different people too and sometimes you won’t even know it” I explained.
“Yeah, you’re probably right, but this kind of love is rare and-
He stopped talking and began giggling, placing his palm over his l-ips to muffle it.
“Why are you giggling?” I asked.
“I was just thinking of something.. You know, this story is kind of similar to us and since Belle, just as you initially, was afraid of that beast but later began getting close to him just like you again and then it led to her growing feelings for him-
“So..what are you insinuating?” I asked, interrupting him and giving him a frown, he giggled.
“I was just thinking, if the story somehow matched us in a way then does it mean you have feelings for me?” He asked and I scoffed.
“What? No! And this is just a movie. A fiction. Not a real story being played so don’t even think of it, Melvin” I said, suddenly getting uncomfortable.
He giggled..
I left him to go make some food and as I searched the bag for one of the food I brought, I couldn’t help but reminisce back on his words..
I shook my head, waving the thought aside. Feeling hot, I took my jacket off.
I grabbed some fruit instead and gave them to him, taking his palm and ignoring the ignition.
“So-” he was saying when his words trailed off. “You still have that on?” He asked, his countenance changing, I traced his gaze and realized he was talking about the necklace. I gave him a frown.
“Yeah, you said I can’t take it off, right?” I asked.
“Well you can-
“Really?” I asked and he nodded.
“Look, I lied to you about it then cos I didn’t want you to keep running away from me..
Then, when you were at the verge of dying I gave you half of my life through that necklace, the blue liquid in it, was the life I gave you and it was meant to make you well fully by the time it finishes. You had the power to take it off but it’s either you die or stay in severe pain for a long time depending on how much of the life your body takes” he explained..
“So this is your life?” I asked pointing to the tiny blue liquid that I was certain would barely make two drops.
“Yeah but right now it’s more of a remainder to me cos when it finishes, I die too cos it has exactly half of the life, I have left when I gave you” he said and I opened my mouth to talk but couldn’t, I was suddenly speechless.
“Th-this tiny thing, is your life?” I asked with my brows narrowed as I lifted the tube and he nodded.
“Well, why don’t you drink it up and add more life to yourself? You could’ve told me about this earlier, I could’ve given it back to you when I was-
He stopped my from completely taking off the necklace by holding my hand, thereby stopping me from talking and I gave him a look.
He shook his head, letting go of my hand “It doesn’t work that way Kay, I gave it to you, taking it back won’t change anything, it can’t add up to my life cos it’s your life now” he said with a blank expression.
“B-but.. This really represents your life? Your wh0le existence in this life?!” I asked and he nodded.
“B-but-
I sighed and gave him a look.
I took my fingers to the necklace mouth and began taking it off, I pulled it off and waited but felt nothing, only a slight pain at my shoulder that vanished and resurface at interval.. I stared at him, he nodded..
“Wow..”
