Ghost Dusk
Chapter 19 - Dating a Ghost

...༻◈༺...

Julie and June were sitting together on a park bench. Both of them were looking towards the same sky. Where orange light looks sparkling decorate the sky.

"I really want to hold your hand" June said as she stared at Julie's hand.

"me too. But how else. If touching alone feels impossible, let alone getting married. I don't know what to do with the fate of our relationship" Julie said, grunting loudly. He was silent for quite a while.

"If I were alive." wish June. He suddenly recalled a flashback of his memories the other day. June tells Julie about it.

"I'm in your memory? Maybe you're just fantasizing," responded Julie who seemed calm.

"No! You're so different. I don't know why I feel like you're younger. Not like you now. Your hair even bangs," June explained at length.

Julie's forehead wrinkled. "If we had a relationship in the past, then why do I not remember you at all? I don't even recognize you," he said. Julie certainly did not believe it just like that.

Hearing Julie's words, June lowered her head. "If I could remember everything about my past... I don't even remember dying for what?" said it.

"Forget about the past. We just live what's there now" Julie said. He develops a smile until it rubs on June. The two exchanged glances.

Julie takes June home with her. Now they are in the kitchen. Julie's preparing dinner. The girl asked a lot about ghosts.

"Can ghosts eat?" ask Julie.

"could certainly. The food we usually eat will stale quickly, "June replied. "Eat him, I advise you to keep the food in a closed place" he suggested.

"You cheated once" Julie commented. He just finished making spaghetti. Julie certainly did not forget to provide food for June.

"Are we dating now?" ask June. He was sitting on a chair near the dining table.

"It's up to you to take it." Julie offers a plate of spaghetti to June. He certainly did not forget to provide one plate for himself.

"Your mother didn't come here today" June said as she looked around.

"He seems busy. Or maybe it'll be too late" Julie said. He started enjoying his spaghetti.

Two weeks gone. Julie and June's relationship deepens. The two met every night. It happens every day. June never misses Julie's company. Even when the ghost is in the form of orange smoke.

Now June and Julie are in the apartment. They dance in music. Songs from their favorite band were played. Julie doesn't stop smiling and laughing when she's with June.

Unexpectedly, Julie's leg stumbled. Even so he was able to balance himself so as not to fall. However, the incident brings him closer to June.

Even though June and Julie could not touch, the two of them could still exchange eyes. Their faces were so close now. Just a few inches.

Julie's heart was pounding faster. He had forgotten that the figure before him was now a ghost.

June really wanted to kiss Julie's lips. He then tried it. But her body pierced through Julie's body. Due to the circumstances, June and Julie keep their distance. They are equally disappointed.

"Let's just have dinner, please" asked Julie. This time he made a steak for himself and June.

As we were about to eat dinner, the door suddenly opened. Axton came out the door. The man manages to catch Julie who seems to be talking to herself.

"Julie?" Axton frowned. His attenuation immediately shifted towards one plate of whole steak.

"I deliberately made two." Julie gave an excuse.

"Are you with someone here? I just heard you-"

"I'm talking on the phone!" Julie quickly replied. He did not want Axton to be suspicious. Her brother put on a probing look.

"Where's your phone?" ask Axton. Because he didn't see any cell phones around Julie.

"It's in my pants pocket." Julie gave an excuse by stammering.

Axton grunts violently. He sat down on the chair next to Julie.

"Julie, I know what happened on that plane bothered your mind. Me, Mom, and Daddy, just want you to get better." Axton downed his own salivary for a moment. He continued, "how about we go to a psychiatrist? Maybe-"

"Axton!" Julie stared hard. "I'm fine! There's nothing wrong with me! Did you think your sister was crazy?!" blow it with a deep frown.

"Julie! Psychiatrists do not always treat people with mental disorders! But it can also be used as an aid to all the problems we face. Especially about all the things that bother our minds!"

"My mind is not disturbed! Get lost!" Julie was angry. He went straight into the room with a door slam.

June, who was able to watch the fierce quarrel between Julie and her brother, looked at Axton with annoyance.

"You shouldn't talk about psychiatrists, Ax!" timpal June cynical. He's coming after Julie.

Upon entering the room, June can see Julie curled up on the bed. The girl was crying.

"It's okay, Julie... Axton says it's because he's worried about you" June said. She desperately wanted to caress Julie's head. But can't.

Julie said nothing. He's just crying.

June tried to cheer up. Unable to touch, he tries to give a touch by blowing Julie.

A gust of wind from June's mouth could be felt by Julie. The girl immediately changed her position to sit.

"June! Is that you?" ask Julie.

"Did that work?" June turned around to ask. He brought his face closer to Julie.

Julie chuckles. She stops crying because June manages to comfort her.

Unbeknownst to Julie, Axton eavesdropped from the front door. He could hear Julie's laughter.

"Julie's... You worry me." said Axton with a tinge of sad face. He chose not to leave. Axton sits down on the couch and will wait for Julie to come out.

The twilight is over. The day is completely dark. June automatically changes shape. Makes Julie feel sad. The most hated thing about the girl was seeing June disappear.

That was when Julie suddenly thought of something. He turned on the laptop. Then try to find something related to the relationship between humans and ghosts on the internet. There may be information that will bring her love and June together.

"Should I just die?" Julie's mumble. He's been looking for information on the internet. But the result is nil.

Inadvertently, Julie discovers a famous paranormal ad. The psychic calls herself Madam Sharon. The thing that interested Julie was the message of the ad. The message read, Nothing is impossible. But in every miracle there must be a price to pay.'
