Chapter 8

"Leila, what brought you here?" Lucas wasn't expecting to meet Leila here but he was obviously excited. And of course Leila noticed him getting pumped up but she didn't comment on t. She just giggled and sat down beside him.

"I'm here to collect my watch for today." She put up her wrist to show that she had not worn anything for the day.

"My lady, you seem early today. Is it ok for you?"

Lucas noticed her face darkened for a split second but then she was smiling so he believed that t was just his imagination.

"Alex, its fine and can you bring me my watch?"

Upon her request, Alex got up and went to take the watch from the store room without any complaints.

Lucas noticed that she had always worn watches which matched with her clothes. He thought it was a minor detail so he did not really make a big fuss about it.

However, the more he thought of it, the more unusual it seemed. After all, Galaxians do not really tend to wear watches but then everyone has something unique they like just like him liking the night sky even though he works for the morning sky.

"Well, what brought you here?" Leila did not receive any answer since Lucas was still lost in his own world. She rested her chin on her the back of her palm and waited for Lucas to come back.

He did not really hear what she said. He noticed that he was being stared at so he straightened up and looked down to avoid eye contact as he was starting to feel embarrassed by the stare.

Leila still patiently waited for an answer. He asked her if anything was wrong.

"Well, I asked you what brought you here."

Lucas only realized what was going on when Leila repeated her question and he internally killed himself for ignoring her.

"Sorry I had too many things going on in my head. Well, I came to repair this, " he showed her the watch and felt very guilty, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to."

Leila glanced at the watch and chuckled adorably which made his heart skip a beat.

"Don't worry. I'll fix it."

He thanked her and apologized to her again.

"You seem to really like watches. I heard this one was made by Guardian Angel. Why did you give it away to someone else?"

Without hesitation, Leila looked directly into his eyes and smiled. The eye contact was making his heart race.

"It wasn't just someone."

She drew in closer to him as she emphasized on the word 'someone' which grabbed his attention. Lucas's heart began to beat faster and his face turned extremely red.

Leila giggled as she noticed that his cheeks had turned red. Her giggles just made his face to grow even redder.

"I love collecting watches so I have similar ones as well. But I only have two of those," she held his watch up and he realized that it must have been really rare.

Lucas only managed to calm himself down when Alex came back with Leila's white leather watch.

"Here you go, my lady."

She strapped the watch she received around her wrist which matched her current clothes. She then passed back the watch to Lucas and the watch had been repaired. His eyes went huge as he noticed that the watch looked like it's brand new except for the original crack that was there since he received it.

"How did this-?"

Leila got up, cutting his sentence which made him stand up as well.

"Well, it's time for me to leave. My duty will start soon."

Lucas decided to leave as well since the goal that made him come had been achieved. She smiled, "Well then Alex, please excuse us."

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Both of them left the watch shop and were walking towards the entrance. Lucas noticed the collapsed wall being as good as new. So many strange things were happening and he could not come up with a good answer to that.

They continued walking without any conversation until Leila stopped and turned to Lucas.

"Well, you can teleport now. This is a free zone."

"Umm," Lucas knew Leila had to leave again but he didn't want her to. He had so many questions to ask but he didn't know how to phrase it. Everything was messed up in his brain and he couldn't think right. He bit his lips so that he wouldn't stutter. He took in a deep breath and spoke,  "Why is there a crack on the watch? You know when you gave me for the first time."

Leila actually hesitated before answering him but then she knew there won't be any harm.

"This watch used to belong to someone but then he did not want it anymore so I took it instead."

He felt that she was actually being very cautious with her answer. He wanted to know who it belonged to and what this watch can do. So many things went through his brain but he just kept his mouth shut.

She noticed that he was itching to ask more so she leaned in and gave him a peck on his cheek, "You know being too curious can be a bad thing."

She placed her hand behind her back and gave a wide smile. She waved him goodbye and walked off without waiting for a response.

Lucas stood frozen in his spot. Only after realizing that he was standing alone in the middle of the hallway, he touched his cheek and pinched it to make sure he was not dreaming.

"Oh my god! Oh wow! Oh my!" He babbled some words that came up in his mind and jumped around in joy. He still couldn't believe what just happened and everything in his brain was replaced with pure happiness. Although, he regretted that he was not the one doing it, he was still happy to receive it. Extremely.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

He teleported back to his place and hummed. He was in an extremely good mood and looked at the watch on his wrist. I will never take you off anymore and I'll take good care of you. He felt like he won the lottery. The watch was definitely the best thing he had ever received.

He lay on his bed and looked up at the ceiling filled with the night sky. I guess I could take a breather or something. He just wanted an excuse to get his lazy tired body up to get a better view of the night sky.

He got up and went to the balcony. He placed his hands on the handle and swung his body front and back. He wondered if he was in love with her or just really curious about her. He know the way he had been acting recently was abnormal.

He licked his lips and without him noticing he shouted, "Although you are mysterious and there are lots of things I don't know, I'll still love you no matter what."

The lights of the other Galaxians' room started turning on and making noises.

"Who the hell was that?!"

"It's so late at night! If you want to confess, do it in the morning."

"Good luck, dude!"

He got so embarrassed after he realized he said and covered his face. He thought he was just thinking in his mind and not out aloud. He took a deep breath and looked up again.

The stars shone brighter than before and the moon looked much more beautiful. All of a sudden, there was a shooting star that flew across the sky. Shooting stars are rare and the person controlling the night sky was Leila. It would only mean one thing.

"Did she hear that?!" he exclaimed and his heart skipped a beat.

He ran back into his room and shut all the doors. He smacked his forehead and sighed. He thought for a while and couldn't stop smiling. It did feel good after all and he knew he meant more than just someone to her.
