Chapter 160 Visiting Julius?
Chapter 160 Visiting Julius?
"Hugo…"
Alliyah's lips parted ways as their body get away from each other. Her eyes widened as she realized what just happened.
Her mouth couldn't form any words. She was just looking at Hugo as if she became a statue. When a few seconds had passed, she found the courage to run away from him.
Alliyah didn't even bother looking back. She went straight ahead upstairs. She could hear Natalie and Jimon's voice calling for her, but she couldn't care less anymore. What's in her mind was that she needed to go back to her room once again.
When Alliyah successfully entered the room, she immediately lie down. She covered herself with a blanket and rolled over.
"What did I do?" She unbelievable asked herself. She look so flustered as she look at her reflection. Her cheeks were all red and her hair was disheveled from what happened.
"Shit…" she cursed out loud. She placed her hand on her face and stayed in the position for a couple of seconds.
Now, how can she face Hugo without thinking about the kiss that they shared together?
Hugo on the other hand stayed in the kitchen. He shrugged his shoulders as he continued cleaning the fruits. He placed them in the plate and brought the rest towards the living room where they're still watching a movie.
"Here, have some." Hugo smiled widely as he placed the bowl in the table.
They immediately helped themselves in getting some fruits. Even Hendrix who was a scaredy cat found the courage to get some food.
Hendrix closed his eyes tightly as he grabbed a handful of strawberries before rushing his way back to the couch to cover himself fully with blanket.
Hugo couldn't help but laugh. He looked around and saw that all of them were focused on the movie expect for him.
His mind was wandering around. Unlike others, he couldn't focus at all on what they were watching.
'I wonder what's Alliyah's thoughts right now?' he asked himself. The corner of his lips rose up.
He actually didn't know what has gotten to himself when he did that. I must be because Alliyah looked so pretty at that sight. Her body was lightly bent forward when she was washing the dishes.
Her butt was in full view.
Hugo's grin became wider. Even though that was such an unexpected move from him, he didn't regret any thing. If he will be given the chance to do that again, then he will gladly do it.
It may sound wrong, knowing that Alliyah's emotional capacity right now was shaky, but Hugo was not forcing things.
If Alliyah didn't like their kiss earlier, she could have pushed him away but she didn't do anything.
Hugo sighed as he nodded. Yeah. That's right.
He shakes her head to the side and tried to focus on the movie. After the movie was done, Hugo and the others had a conversation.
The other didn't bother Alliyah already, thinking that it was best for her to be alone at the moment. Hugo felt that it was the best decision right now because he knows that she will just get awkward while talking to him.
"What do we plan to do about Julius?" Natalie warily asked as the four of them remained seated in the living room.
"Do you want to go to the hospital tomorrow? They will be opening the hospital so that the public could see." Hugo uttered as he look around. He as well do not know what to do after what happened.
It seems like because of the kiss earlier, his ability to think vanished as well.
Jimon and Natalie nodded. "We can do that. I wanted to see him up close too." Natalie answered with a deadly glare in her eyes.
Jimon's fist clenched. "I want him to experience the sufferings that I went through." He unconsciously uttered as he looked around. He knew that the others would want to do that as well.
Hendrix chuckled. "I will be supporting all of you." He smiled widely as he threw that blanket to the ground. "Thankfully, I have this blanket or else I wouldn't survive earlier." He speaks off as he stood up.
"Well, lady and gentlemen, I will be going upstairs now to sleep. We gotta prepare ourselves for tomorrow." Hendrix was about to walk upstairs when Hugo thought of something.
He waitied until Hendrix reached the middle part of the stairs before he opened his mouth to say something.
"Be careful! You might see the nun on the room." He teased around knowing that he left the room dark.
Hendrix's eyes immediately widened. He turned around and ran off the stairs.
"HUGO!"
Hugo laughed out loud when he saw Hendrix's reaction, 'How fun it is to tease him around.' He uttered on his mind as he continued to laugh off.
Who would believe that Hendrix who was God was scared of ghost? If Thalia would see this one, then she would surely be embarrassed about Hedrix's reaction.
Hendrix's forehead creased when he saw something igniting on Hugo's eyes. He immediately went closer to him, slightly hitting him on his head.
"Don't think of any foolish ideas, you fool."
Hugo grinned. "I wasn't thinking of anything." He uttered pledging for his innocence.
The truth was, he was already thinking how he can scare Hendrix at night earlier. He thought of dressing up as an old woman later at the middle of the night, but Hendrix has great power.
Who knows what would happen if ever he will be surprised?
Aborting the idea, Hugo chose to have peace tonight.
"Well, it's getting late already so I think we need to rest as well." Hugo stood up and waved his hands. He was the first one to leave the living room, followed by Hendrix who rushed forward when he saw that he will not be alone upstairs.
Hugo's forehead creased when he saw that Hendrix was so close to his body. Whenever he stop walking, he would stop walking too.
"What are you doing?"
Hugo could feel Hendrix getting startled by his sudden question.
"I'm not doing anything." Hendrix looked so defensive as he answered.
He was embarrassed to admit that he was actually nervous because of what they watched earlier. It was his first time seeing such creatures! Even the Demons who he have fought over the decades looked more handsome than them.
Hugo chuckled as he nodded. "Alright. I believe you." He shrugged his shoulders as he went inside the room.
Now that they have separate beds, it will be more comfortable for them to sleep at night.
Hugo scrolled on social media first. He saw a lot of news regarding Julius and Noah's well-being.
The comments were usually filled with people saying their best swishes to Noah while slandering Julius's name in return.
It was actually funny for Hugo. To think that Damien's words would greatly influence people was truly surprising.
Even if there were evidence already found, the people still chooses to be blind.
When Hugo saw that the time were almost at 12 midnight, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.
Tomorrow, there will be a lot of things to do so he should be prepared.
All of them woke up early in the morning. Even Alliyah was motivated to get everything done today.
They were busy eating together for breakfast. In the afternoon, all of them will set out to go to the mall.
Fortunately, because of Hendrix's power they will be able to hide their true appearances.
Their only problem right now was if Alliyah would be able to handle her fears on meeting the men who harassed her.
Remembering what happened yesterday, Hugo advised Alliyah to just stay inside the apartment. He was worried that she might collapse once again. However, Alliyah was determined to face her fears.
Alliyah told Hugo that if she will keep running away from her problems, then it wouldn't do good. Now, until its early, she need to dissolve it already before it gets too late.
"Are you sure you will be fine?" Natalie asked Alliyah. They were sitting beside each other, making it easier for them to talk.
"Yes. You don't need to worry about me." Alliyah assured her.
"We need to split into two teams incase something happens. I will stick with Alliyah while you three can stick together since Hendrix wouldn't be able to do anything if ever." Hugo informed them as he took out something from his bag.
It was a few boxes of newly bought phones.
Their eyes widened when they saw that it was a new model from a popular brand. Natalie and Alliyah couldn't help but express their excitement when they saw it.
Finally they already have a cellphone to use after being away from it for a few months!
Hendrix and Jimon who wasn't really familiar with it was confused at first on how to use it.
"It's my gift to you. After all, I'm sure that we will be needing this later on."
