Love Magic: Two Different Hearts novel Chapter 17

Glen's POV

We went straight home after that. I immediately went to my room after dinner and Ace is still not convinced about me fighting with Tobios.

(Tsk he still doubts my skills. He thinks I can't fight that guy wait till he hears the news tomorrow) I thought while laying on my bed.

He didn't tell our parents and I am very thankful for that since if my parents knew that I fought with someone and especially that it was an elemental then I guess they-- especially mom will explode.

I might be punished or worst grounded and I really don't want that to happen. I like to believe the idea that my brother was helping me not to get in trouble but life is unfair since the main reason that he didn't told them was because he doesn't believe it.

He kept on insisting that I'm trying to joke around and he thinks that I already lose my mind making me really lose my mind and want jump and punch that bastard until he believes it. But I calmed myself and just watch him laugh as he enters his room.

"Damn you Ace, I will really make you eat your words once the issue will spread at school" I said while looking at the ceiling.

I was in my room trying to calm myself by ranting whatever is in my mind while glaring at the ceiling.

When I was about to shout in frustration while covering my face with a pillow to lessen the loudness, a soft knock echoed throughout my room making me stop myself from what I'm about to do.

Knock knock the soft sound was repeated again and I look at the room.

I look at my door and stare at it in confusion before glancing at my watch and look at the time.

(Who is knocking at this time already, I thought everyone should be in their room and probably asleep now or maybe I'm just hallucinating) I thought that maybe I'm just dreaming and it was just an imagination but I heard another knock sound again.

Knock knock it sounded and I. Suddenly realize what

"Who is it?" I asked still staring at the door.

(Still safety is needed. You don't know maybe it’s a thief but who would even try to steal from us) I immediately hold my weapon and slowly went near the door.

"Uhmm.... I said who is it" I said while slowly going close to the door.

"It's your grandma, Glen. Can you open the door" she said and I sigh in relief while putting my sword down.

And it turned back to its original state before I put it back on my pocket.

(Damn I thought it is a thief or something) I thought while I release a deep sigh.

"Grandma" I repeated again maybe I heard it wrong and just to be sure.

"Yes, it is me, now open the door kid" she whisper slowly and I know that tone.

(I guess she's trying not to wake anyone in the house except me at the same time she's getting annoyed already)

I chuckle softly before slowly opening the door and it revealed my loving grandma holding something in her hands while I smile at her.

"Yes grandma do you need anything?" I slowly asked while looking at her in question.

"Oh I just have something to tell to you" she said looking at me.

I can see her wrinkles already getting harsher each passing day. She is also walking slower each passing day.

Over all she's already getting older each passing day.

(I hope that she will have a longer life)

"Are you going to continue staring at me or you'll let me in and enter your room" she snorted making me blink my eyes and look at her.

"Oh sorry grandma. Please come in" I said apologetically ushering her inside my room.

(She still has her manners. Oh yeah, she's the one who taught me to have manners but I also learned from her to be sassy and joke around)

She scoffs and I slowly give her a way and she went inside my room. She scanned my room first then nods in satisfaction.

"Looking for something grandma?" I asked while looking at her.

"Good it's clean not like your brother's room, it's so messy" she said shaking her head in disappointment.

"You never knew what is living there if it's a pig or what" she complains in disgust while standing.

I sighed and look at her I amusement making me try to picturing her reaction in my head when she entered my brother's room. I bet she was screaming and scolding him that a room should be clean all the time.

(She always wants everything to be clean, arranged and in order. She despises a messy and dirty place just like my brother's room)

She went to the side of my bed before using her powers and created a chair that could hold her.

(She's a caster just like Kaylee by the way if you may ask....)

"Can't you also use that to try and make your face younger" I snorted and she glared at me.

"I'm no longer in my youths so stop shoving it on my face" she bickers and I just laugh at her.

"Come on try it. Maybe it might work" I joked and she eyed me and then scoffs.

"If it worked, I already have done it years ago. Heck I might be younger than you and more… sexier" she said and I chuckle at her.

"Tsk.... well it didn't happen so--"

"Enough" she said and I chuckle at her.

(I always tease her about that and she always try to scold me and say that I she had that magic she'll be the most beautiful creature that you will see. But that will never happen.... hahahah)

She then slowly sits down and I immediately went near her and helped her sit down.

(What does she want to tell me this late at night? Is it something urgent that she needs to tell me now?) I thought while going a little bit farther from her.

Then I jump on my bed and did an Indian sit as I face her. He also made herself comfortable as she looks at me before taking out what she is holding.

And when she takes it out, I was surprised and sigh before I stare at my grandma as she looks at the book she was holding.

(A book, is she going to read me a story wait the book is familiar) I smile before looking at her.

"Grandma are you going to tell me a story" I said chuckling while looking at the book she was holding.

(Back when I was still a little kid every night my grandparents always come to my room late at night and tells me a story. I can always remember that I always look forward every time they come and stay in my room for the night)

She just looks at me and smile.

"Nope I'm just going to give you this book now" she said making me crunch my face.

"Why would you give me this book, isn't it your favorite one?" I said confused while staring at the book that she's holding.

"Yup it's mine but now it's yours" she said handling me the book.

"I know you would be excited since you're the only one who wants to take it" she said and I laugh at her.

"Maybe you forced them to listen to your stories" I said and she tries to pull the book so I immediately grab it.

"Oh come on grandma I'm just joking no need to feel angry beside you already told me that It's mine already. Don't take back your words" I said eyeing her and she let the book go and I didn't waste any second and took it and scoot away from her.

(You never know she might change her mind and take it back. I always wanted to have this book ever since. Back then I remember that I searched the whole house to find the book when they went out only to be disappointed at the end since grandma really made a joke on me, he practically hid the book in my room. She already saw through my plans of searching the house for that book, so he hid it in my room since she knows that I won't search there and she was fucking damn right)

"Damn I really want to destroy my fucking room back then" I mumble in annoyance while looking at the book.

"You're fucking mine now" I said as I grip unto it not wanting it to fly away.

I flashed her my sincere and overwhelming smile at grandma that I don't usually show to lots of people before I put the book in my chest and hug it.

"Promise I'll took good care of it" I said and she smiled then went to hug me before giving me a kiss in my forehead making me chuckle.

"That's what I like about you" she said and I look at her confused.

"You always wear a happy smile despite of everything that has happened" my heart melted and I hold her hands.

"And I will also tell you that you are the best grandparents I ever had. You and grandpa even though he might not be usually visiting me here" I said smiling at her.

She touches my face and give me a teary-eyed face.

"Oh geez grandma don't cry you'll grow old immediately" I joke while wiping her eyes.

She chuckles making me chuckle too.

(I really love my grandparents so much it is hard to be away from them) I thought to myself while looking at her.

"I wish grandpa could come and visit us here" I said in disappointment.

My grandma looks at me with a sad face and then gives me a hug. I smiled at the gesture she did.

"You already know that he needs to stay there for his health and he also miss all of you too especially you" she said making me chuckle.

"You know that man. Every time I go home he always ask me to tell him about you first then the rest" she said and I chuckle.

"Of course, I'm his favorite" I boost but took it back.

"Joke we're all his favorite grandkids so tell him that he still has many grandkids don't just focus on me" I said in a joking manner but actually I'm telling the truth.

(He was so overprotective to me because when they found out I don't have any power like my family does. They immediately told my parents that they would keep me safe with them. My grandparents tried all their best to convince both of my parents since they were both against it but they agreed at the end according to grandma)

I look at the picture next to my night stand and sigh. It was a picture of my family with our grandparents that was taken when my family went to visit us at the country side.

And also, that's the first time grandpa taught me how to use that sword until now.

"Grandma could you tell me a story" I asked and she look at me smiling.

"What story would you prefer" she asked and while I went inside my blanket and she tucked me in.

"The story where that person appeared and save the students" I said and she smiles.

"You always love that story. Okay then let's start. Long time ago...." she starts making me smile again.
