“Wah, Paul, appear! It?s a puppy!” I stated out loud as we walked at the sidewalk.
Paul decided to take me property and carry my bag for me. As for Leiah, she stated that she ?doesn?t wish to be a bother?, so she went home on her own.
So here we’re, walking together.
On our approach to my home, we happened to see a cute puppy. I welcomed it with open arms but unexpectedly?
“Riana, don?t! It might bite?”
?It didn?t go precisely as I wanted it to be [for the puppy]. Paul grabbed me away from the puppy as soon as possible. He twisted our position, letting his back fell on the cemented sidewalk. Each of us groaned in complaint. I wasn?t supposed to complain because he was the one who truly got hurt. The minute I looked at his eyes, our gaze was fixed into one another. I forgot the globe around us. I was mesmerized by his gentle light brown eyes? His red lips that looked soft and… Why the heck am I thinking of all these thoughts?!
I hurriedly stood from him, realizing we had been lying in the middle of the sidewalk! Each of us cough as we tried to hide the reality that we blushed, yet we failed? obviously.
“L-Let?s get you home.” he said sheepishly.
“Sorry?” my fault we fell and he got hurt. This was the third time I did something to humiliate and hurt him. 1st was inside the hallway, second was along the benches, now this. He is so nice not to obtain mad at me!
“It?s alright.” he managed to smile, his angelic smile, that created me felt calm and embarrassingly helpless. How could I believe of these thoughts so boldly!
Few moments later, we arrived in front of my house. He handed me my bag. I waved goodbye having a pleasant thank you. Then, I went to face the door and held the knob slowly. Honestly, I didn?t want him to leave but. He?s special? as a friend that is. “Please don?t go, please don?t go,” I chanted continuously in my mind as I twisted the knob slowly, truly slow. I waited for him to at the very least say ?goodbye?. Eh? So what if he did say goodbye, what would I acquire anyway? I opened the door typically.
“Riana.”
He named me.
?Why do I really feel somewhat excited? “Yeah?” I managed to respond usually.
“I?m? I?m sorry.” he stated in a low voice.
“Eh, why?”
“About what happened to you and Matthew.”
Oh come on! Of all the topics he could say: ?Matthew and I?. Anyway, he was my last boyfriend. I caught him cheating on me; he was passionately kissing one more girl although I hid somewhere, then I popped out suddenly rushing to him. He ignored me that time so I punched him within the face that he fainted! Muhahaha? just kidding.
This was the genuine event:
I went to them, to Matthew and his ?new girl? as they walk about the park exactly where he courted me. Yeah correct, Mr. Ideal Actor. My buddies told me about him becoming a player. Some acquaintances even stated that he was dating them so we planned to take revenge. Further luck, we heard that he had a date so I made my approach as the other people hid.
“Excuse me. Are you currently his girlfriend?” I asked as I faked my smile to hide my temper.
“Yes? Are you currently a friend of his?” his innocent-looking girlfriend answered. Matthew was certainly nervous and perspiring.
“I WAS his girlfriend yesterday.” I smiled back at them, specially to that guy, “Until I dumped him minutes ago even though you two were cuddling.”
The girl was so frustrated at him that she slapped him really tough. She cried and ran away. I felt no guilt at all. Besides, I even enjoyed watching him getting hit by All of the girls he dated. Isn?t it fantastic? We went to see the girl afterwards and comforted her with us. I secretly cried all night although.
The flashback ends.
I had a long pause but I snapped out of it. “It doesn?t actually matter now. And don?t apologize, unless, you were 1 of his past lovers, or were you?”
Paul blushed, “What type of conclusion was that?!”
We laughed, smiled and waved goodbye once more. My feet and hands had forbidden me to open the door further and go inside our residence as he stood there.
“I nonetheless don?t want to leave you.”
His words made me gasp and created me turn to face him. He was seeking away and was severe.
“I like you,” he continued, “As a friend which is.”
My mind was blank that I felt nothing. It was dark and empty that I was speechless.
“Ever considering that I saw you walking alone with a lonely face, I wanted to safeguard you and make you laugh. I want to see you smile always.”
The noise of our neighborhood was silenced in my ears. Only his voice entered me. It was sweet but he stated it bitterly.
