A Spirit's Love: The Romantic Shadow

It was almost dusk when I finally reached my dorm. After a long and tiring day at campus –plus with the addition of the strange behavior of Senior Rizal, I finally had my time to relax. I had just stepped in front of my door when a weird chilling aura suddenly hit me. I turned my head to the source of the chilling aura and found my eyes hit a pair of cold eyes, staring right at me.

My breath hitched as I saw that pair of eyes on the familiar face. My heart felt like jumping out of my chest as I rubbed my chest to calm my wild beating heart.

"Tom, what are you doing out here? You're scaring me!" I scolded him in a low voice like a whisper.

"You had fun with your boyfriend?" He asked but the disdain was clear in his voice.

I opened my door and stepped inside, ignoring his question. I have been getting this question when I came home later than usual. It was true, my class had finished before two this afternoon, but something came up at campus so I had to stay behind to take care of it with my friends.

And, Tom would assume that I was late because I played with Senior Rizal. If I was not mistaken, it was the sixth question he asked me.

"I was not playing. I was studying and taking care of some issues with our project." I explained as soon as he walked through the wall and sat in front of me.

He furrowed his eyebrows, thinking if he could accept my answer, probably. "Then, can you break up with him soon?" This time, he didn't bother starting it with sugar coating words.

He was getting more and more brave in voicing out what was in his mind. But, I also had something in mind.

"Tell me, Tom. Can you really enter a human's dream?" I asked.

"It depends." He shrugged. "Answer my question first." He stared right through me.

"Then, did you or did you not enter into Senior Rizal's dream and threating him with something again?" Ignoring his plea, I asked straight to the point.

Tom's eyes widened in shock as he shot me a disdain look. It was as if he was saying 'why would I stoop myself lower to threaten that poor boy?'

"I would never do something like that!" He protested. "What? Did that boy say that to you?" He frowned.

"No?" I asked him back.

"NO. Never. I have never visited him in his dream since the inauguration!" Tom answered disdainfully.

From the way he talked, I was pretty much sure that he spoke the truth. Then, what was the reason of Senior Rizal's sudden change?

As I was thinking about that, Tom moved to sit in front of me, supporting his cheek with one of his hand. His face was so close to me that it made startled.

"Don't think about him when you're here. Haven't we talked about it before?" He reminded me. His handsome face pouted a bit.

I smiled. His jealousy was indeed scary sometimes. But, he made a distinct line about my treatment to him and Senior Rizal. Even though he would suggest me to break up with Senior Rizal and got severely jealous after that, he had never flown to Senior Rizal's dream to do something I didn't like.

"Also, why would I get into that boy's dream when I have your dream to enter?" He smirked.

I blushed. Oh, whatever.
