Chapter 2 : A day with Ghost

Did I scare to her now? I don't know how to answer that question, but she's waiting and expecting something from my answer. And, seems she wouldn't hear anything bad for it.

Alright, take a deep breath and say... "Nah I'm not" but... it'll not satisfy her. So, I look at her eyes directly, and say... "Why should I scare to the cute yet beautiful ghost like you, Mrs. Brown?" God... it's like I'm teasing her, for real. Why should I say something like that to her now? How stupid I am.

She Blushed, her face redden like a tomato now. And, she hides it with her palms, how cute!! "Stupid you" she says.

I can't help but chuckling so hard seeing her reaction like that. Well... it's my first time seeing it after all, so... I've to say it's really amusing me.

"Don't dare you to say something like that again, okay!?" she said, still blushing spread out on her face. It's she's a... Tsundere¹? But, whatever is... she's actually cute, and beautiful for a ghost. And yeah, I never thought she'll act like it, how adorable.

It's Friday night by the way, and I still continue to clean up the room, it's almost done with the help from this cute ghost, Lucy Brown. Even though she's not doing so much but it's still better than I'm working alone.

Right after finish the cleanup I let my gasps out while plopping myself to the couch, is so comfortable, seems I'll be sleepy in no time, I'm exhausted too.

Then, when I started to close my eyes, suddenly the TV turned on, and yeah... it's Lucy. "I'm bored" she said with giggles.

"You surprised me, you know that? I'm almost sleeping earlier" I'm trying to protest but seems she doesn't even pay attention to my complaint, just locking her eyes on the TV screen. I'm just letting out my sigh and try to stood up but... my energy has been drained away, I can't stand up properly on my own legs now, and yeah... Lucy doesn't really care about it after all. And why I expected it? What a weird.

Before I realized, I'm sleeping on the couch with sitting position, isn't comfortable, right? But I don't care anymore, I'm tired already. Another thing, I feel fingers roaming my hair softly, it must be Lucy.

"You wake up, Young boy?" she asked, but her eyes still on the TV, her fingers still tracing my hair, and messing it up.

"Am I sleeping?" I asked with groggy and flustered.

She smirks, like she'll tease me again now, "you're drooling much, you know" she said, and chuckling after.

I don't know, but... it's weird like, she's a ghost, and I was a human, we're living together now. She looks uh... happy? But I think she's hiding something, especially with those tiring eyes even though still looks beauty.

I'll ask her directly then... "Hey... can I ask something?" I asked while looking at her face, and seems she didn't realize it yet because still focused on the TV show.

"Go on, ask me anything" She said, not even turn away her gaze from the TV.

I take a deep breath again before asking, I don't know why but it's feel nervous already. "Why you look so tired?" I ask her, "No need to answer if you feel uncomfortable"

She still hasn't even moving her face from the TV, but I noticed she sighed softly before answering my question. "Almost all of my day after my death, I'm alone here. No, more like I feel lonely because I look scary. I'm ghost after all" She said with flat yet uninterested tone.

"Then, after long waiting, you come. Like, you didn't see me as others see, even though I don't know what in your mind but still... I'm happy knowing I'm still acceptable here, also you already say I'm 'cute', right? So... yeah, I won't let you go" She smirks at the last word.

Dammit, I don't expect she'll say something like that. I mean, though she just feels lonely and will get bored with me in no time but... "I won't let you go", that's kind of words, you know that. Even though I'm not really sure about the meaning behind it but seems she'll glue to me since now. Yeah, literally now.

Suddenly she's leaning towards me, and wrapping my waist with her slender hands. It's feel like someone hugging me, I mean... she literally clings to me right now. I also feel her warm breath on my neck while she's resting her head to my shoulder. Gosh, I really feel her now. Am I dreaming now? Of course not, it's real. But, unbelievable because I am able to felt the ghost touching against me, and seems she was feel same too. I still don't understand what the situation is but... yeah, just let it go for now.

"Stay still, I'm sleepy" she said while yawning. But, did she's just planning to cling on me for along night here?

Well, I think it'll be uncomfortable here so... when I noticed she was already sleeping, I lifted her—still surprised I am able to do—and move her to my bed. Yeah, my own bed because I've no more room. And seems better to share the bed with her. Nothing wrong, right?

With careful laid her on my bed, and I lay beside her. Pulling the blanket for us, and I'm trying to close my eyes but...

Still feel this was weirdest thing
