You're My Mate (BL) Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Grimoire

Leon

—–

I just nodded and smiled at Mr. Henderson because I couldn’t refuse the offer of having dinner with him and his son so that I don’t get chased as a bad friend to David.

Well, it feels like this ti, I can only follow and flow with what is currently happening to because being in this magnificent house is not a plan that is in . So I can only go with the flow.

“David, you can take Leon for a walk to find out the whole area in our house!” Mr. Henderson said to David.

“Okay, Dad!” David answered, smiling widely at his father.

Well, I feel like a special guest this ti, in a house that is so grand and like a palace. Maybe I’ll be exhausted when I get ho because just looking at a house this big; I can’t imagine where I’m going to go.

.....

“You who get along with David, I’ll go out for a while!” said Mr. Henderson until he smiled at .

I smiled, nodding at him because I didn’t know what to say to David’s father, who looked so young. Not long after, he was gone and disappeared from my sight.

It’s just the two of us now; David and I are in the living room. I try not to pay attention to the man currently fiddling with his cell phone while smiling at himself.

Because I think it’s better that way than I have to respond to it.

“Are you ready?”

I looked directly at David when he asked , “Are you ready? What do you an?” I asked him back with a confused expression on my face.

“I’ll take you to get to know the entire contents of my house; at least you won’t get lost when you’re inside my house!” David replied, smiling at . Then he got up from his seat.

“Oh, yes.” My answer was short because apparently, he wanted to invite to go around his house.

Hearing the word “get lost” makes my head spin, imagining where he will take later because I am one of the laziest people to walk, considering many places.

I finally went to stand while walking behind David, trying to listen carefully to David’s explanation. It’s as if David is now the leader of my tour guide to see David’s house, which is so magnificent.

“This is my father’s library; sotis I also often read in this place,” David said as he led into a room full of books.

The books were arranged so neatly on the shelves like a library in the city center, but the difference was that the library in David’s house was wider than the library in the city center.

I can only open my lips while widening my eyes when I see the large collection of books arranged in David’s father’s library.

“Did you buy all these books?” I asked David while looking at so of the books in front of .

“Yes, my father loves reading history, and so do I,” David answered as he took one of the books that had a red cover.

“Historians, so you like history, right?” I asked, smiling at David.

“Of course, maybe I can answer all your history questions that I know!” David answered as he handed him the red cover book.

“Do you believe in Grimoire?” David asked as he showed the red book.

“Magic book? Haha, really?” I said directly when David showed the magic book.

But when I laughed in disbelief when David handed the red book to , David kept quiet while looking at with a confused look. Is David serious about this?

I was silent, took the book given to by David, then slowly I brought the book and sat on one of the benches in the library.

David joins. Sitting across from , he also carries a book with a dark blue cover.

After I sat down, I looked at the red cover of the book I was currently holding.

“Is it all right if I open it and read it?” I asked David to be sure because I was a little scared when I was about to open the book I was holding now.

“Don’t worry, Grimoire will only affect people who have magic power within them, aka witches. But if a mortal holds it and reads it, then nothing will happen. So relax!” David explained with a smile to , from the look in his eyes as if he was asking to open the book I was holding right now.

After hearing his explanation, I try not to think strangely about the book I’m holding Because I am a mortal with no magic power. So what are you afraid of?

But strangely, when I looked at the book I was holding right now, my heart was beating so fast, then my fingers holding this book felt like a small electric shock was sending them, but I could feel it.

Was this the effect of holding the magic book? Or is it just feeling too much?

“Okay, I’ll try to read it,” I answered David while looking back at the book I was holding.

I could see the look in David’s eyes if he smiled while nodding his head at .

And without further ado, I decided to open this scarlet-covered Grimoire.

‘SPLASH!’

“Awwwww!” I groaned spontaneously and threw the book away.

I felt a strange pain when I opened the book; suddenly, a red light was stinging my palm.

“Hey, Leon, are you okay?”

I heard the faint voice of David coming closer to ; he helped up from my fall. I also just realized that I fell from my seat.

I don’t know what just happened when I opened the book, the red light shot into my palm, and I fell backward.

“Leon, are you okay?” asked David while trying to help walk away from the library.

I still can’t answer David’s question because my tongue feels numb when I try to say a few words. I could only be silent and weak; serious dizziness felt enveloped my head.

“Leon, hang on!”

I could hear the soft voice near my ear, and then my body seed lifted into the air. It felt like David was carrying to a place because my body was so weak I couldn’t forget to pay attention to the area around .

I’m helpless; I don’t know what’s happening.
