"Sorry, I didn't think about that," Amy said quietly, and I gave her a slight squeeze.
"Don't worry about it. It's not that I don't think you are attractive; I just don't want to make things awkward. While I am not what you would call nervous, I don't normally sleep like this with a girl on the first night," I joked.
"Just how many girls have you slept with?!" Amy asked, trying to turn in my arms, but I held her in place.
"Next question, and first rule. Never ask a question you don't want to know the answer to. I may be a bit of a shut-in and a nerd, but I enjoy chatting and doing things like this with females from ti to ti," I said, briefly thinking about Anya, Mr. Holdt's daughter.
She wasn't the only one, but like the others, they all had plans for the future and would move on at so point. That's what I looked for in a woman, soone that just wanted to spend fun alone ti every once in a while.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Amy asked next, sounding peeved that I had ignored her first question, and I held back a sigh.
"No. I prefer to make connections with people that have plans to move on. I am looking for life's simple enjoynts, but I think those things will beco nothing but dreams now," I said, closing my eyes.
"Are we going to talk about what happened after you saved ? How are you still alive?" Amy asked slowly.
"I don't have a good answer for you, mostly because I don't believe what is happening is real. I feel like tomorrow I will wake up, and you will be gone, and I will be back to my normal life, but," I said, stopping at the end, not sure why sothing in my mind seed to want to change.
It was like a feeling in my head that prevented from just wanting to hide and go back to being normal. The feeling kept pushing towards thinking of my growth and how I could move forward from here.
"But now sothing has changed inside of you? You don't want to just be a nobody?" Amy asked, her voice getting quieter.
I could feel her arms clench that she held under her breasts, pressed into my arm. Sothing about those questions seed to bother her.
"I guess it's sothing like that, but I feel like I am being pushed into it," I replied.
"I wish that I could disappear. Your life that you had sounds like what I want, but my family keeps pushing to beco more. I just want to relax for once!" Amy said as she started to shake.
That made sense to , and I could reason with her for the most part. I was alone all the ti, and no one could tell how to live my life, so having people like parents forcing you still as an adult had to be exhausting.
"Well, until we figure out what is going on with this power, you can stay with . I am sure you can get a hotel if you want, but if the power and phone stay out, you might have a hard ti getting money out. I have so cash, so I can buy you clothes tomorrow," I explained, and Amy's shaking slowly subsided as I did.
"Are you sure I can stay here? I only have my father's credit card, and I am not allowed a bank account, so I have no way to get funds. So, I will only be a burden on you," Amy explained, and I shrugged.
These parents sounded like real monsters written into a light novel, but this was real life. And real life was about to get really weird if there was a single word of truth in anything that Orphus had said.
"Sothing tells that things will get much worse long before it gets better from tomorrow going forward. I don't really want to talk about it yet, and it's not because I don't trust you; it's just stupidly unbelievable. Even for , that reads fantasy as a passion; I still have my belief suspended mostly," I said, and I felt Amy nod.
"We should get to sleep, but I want to thank you for saving my life and allowing into your bed like this. Also, for being a gentleman, which is truly surprising with the way you talk about yourself," Amy said with a cute giggle, putting a hand on my arm.
"Goodnight; I hope tomorrow turns out to be a good day," I said and closed my eyes.
I was still awake after Amy's breathing had beco rhythmic. I was trying to wrap my head around everything that had happened.
From the point that Amy had called out for to help her. That mont will be burned into my mory, but the God seed like he was going to be a problem.
The biggest thing that stuck out was the fact that there would be evil people that would more than likely have Systems like mine. Hopefully, the other good people like would start popping up, but he said there would be more bad people than good.
How many of these evil people were in the city right now? Would they just start destroying things and killing people, or would they be attracted to ?
I looked down at the girl in my arms and sighed quietly as I watched her sleep. I was going to have to keep her safe from now on, but there were other girls that I wanted to track down since I had been close to them.
With that settled in my mind, I started to count my breaths. It took a bit, but I slowly slipped off into a deep sleep.
Watching unseen, Orphus laughed to himself but then let out a tired sigh. This boy had no idea what was coming for him; no matter how strong he was, this would break him, maybe.
There was also sothing about him that made the so-called God get excited. The others tended to give the good side a few more to make a sport out of destroying worlds, but the good had prevailed last ti, and the previous world was spared.
This ti, the others wanted revenge, and only Orphus was left as a defender. All viewed life as worthless, but Orhpus had grown to like being a Defender.
This was his test because he was the best, and for jest, he would not take this seriously and be nothing but a pest!
