It will be and understatement if I say the adjustment period is easy. Though it ain't that difficult since Al and me doesn't hang out that much. So it seems that all are normal except for the fact that someone is inlove with me and that someone is my bestfriend's brother. It's also the same with Ace,she didn't push her brother or me into something. She just let us go with the flow. And I really like that part of her.
"Ace." "Yeah." She said will typing. Hmm..there is something with this girl. She's been texting and texting. And to top it,she even smiles from time to time. "Who's that?" "Nothing. Just a friend." A friend,huh! Hmmm....I'm smelling something familiar. Like..."Spaghetti." I said. She immediately look at me. Gotcha! Hahaaha... "So...what's his name again?" "Grace,I know what you're thinking." "What? I just ask his name!" "Hmmm... Fine. We've been texting for days now." Woah! Way to go for my bessie! I smiled broadly at her. "Okey. I already told you ,so stop creeping me out." "I'm not creeping you out." "Whatever! Oh,by the way,don't ever tell my brother about this." I just nodded.
"Don't be late okey?" "Yes brother." Then he went in to his car. His going back to his work again. "Stay safe and healthy!" I shouted. He just waved at me. Then he's gone. I went back inside the house and watch anime. So back to being alone again.
I was checking the house when my phone buzz. It's another message from Ace reminding me not to be late or something. Yeah...like I will forget that today we have five quizzes. I just reply her that I'm already going. I lock the main door and the gate. And started walking.
This tests are very mind blowing! They seems to be that easy at first glance but when you started to get through it. It will became more and more stressful. I am on my last subject for the day. Taking my last quiz for the week. Yey! TGIF!
After the stressful day,I texted mom if she will pick me up. And she said that she is busy so Ace offered to accompany me. "Where are we going?" "Hmmm...someone invited me to her birthday. So I just thought it's nice to go there first before going home." "Ooh. Who is she?" "Her name is Ecarg." Ecarg? I don't know her. "You don't know her for certain. She is my friend from childhood." I just nodded. I wonder what she looks like.
After an hour of,I think,being lost. We are finally entering the venue. "Oh shit! I forgot my gift inside the car. Grace,wait for me at the door okey? I will be quick." Then she took off. I wonder what her gift is. I haven't seen it.
A century later,Ace is back. But not in her usual look. She'd dress up! "Am I presentable enough?" I just narrowed my look on her. She keep me waiting for almost a century just because she wants to dress up? I thought we will just be passing by? "C'mon?" She offered. "Ace,don't you think it would be so 'amazing' for me to be as presentable as you are? Like, hello! I'm only wearing my uniform!" "Nah! She will not mind." I just rolled my eyes on her. Then suddenly she held my hand and shouted. "Let us all welcome! The debutant!" Then the door opened with some smoke effects. When it's already wide enough for me to sneak peek inside I was so shocked to see all my friends and my family. My mouth formed a big 'O' when I realize that at this very hour,my mom delivered a baby girl 18 years ago. It's my birthday for the sake! How crazy is that? I totally forgot that it's my birthday. When I think that all surprises are already out. Another came. Just meters from me is the man I have been dreaming of seeing. For years now,he is still the same. He smiled sweetly at me and for that second I want to run to him and hugged him tight. But then as tears began to blur his image I slowly smiled. Even until now he still is watching over me. 'I love you dad. And I miss you.'
"Your mom is awesome. She still manage to throw this party in the midst of being busy." I just nodded at him. "Aren't you happy?" I look at him. "I'm not happy Winston. I am contented. Contented being with my family and friends." "Right. Friends." Then he suddenly look at the ground. "Winston?" "Hmmm?" "I think..." What was that again? What was I am about to ask? Tsk! Seriously?? I forgot what I should ask? "...ahm..nothing. I forgot it." "Okey." Okey?? Am I feeling it right? That the scene just went something heavy?? "Grace..." I turn to him. "I...I need to tell you something." "Okey. I'm listening." He took a deep breathe which made me feel nervous all of a sudden. "Grace...I...I like you. No! Wait...no...I mean...arg! Sorry,this is just not easy for me." "Relax. No ones telling you to hurry up." "No. I mean yeah but my mind is shouting so loud. And I can't handle it. So am...Grace...*sigh*...I don't really care what will be the result of this but....I think this is the time to tell you this." Winston is driving me insane!! His nervousness is flowing to me!! "I am inlove with you Grace." He said after a minute of silence. "Since that day I layed my eyes on you I totally felt it. That you are that one. You might think that this is so insane. But to tell you this,I have been doing crazy things just to prove that what I am saying right now is wrong that this is not love and it is just affiction or something." He pauses and sigh heavily. "But Grace I have failed so many times. And that only proves that this...this is true. What I am feeling for you is true and no one can erase that. It has been embedded on my system and I have living with it. So today, I want you to know what I have been feeling. And I just hope you will not look at me with pity or something. I just want to let you know. And I will respect your decision and whatever you will say. But then I will just remind you this." He look at me intently and smiled. "You are my Grace. My Grace who have been making my heart so eratic at times that I don't really understand. And my Grace who soon will be bearing the same last name as mine." Then he kissed my cheeks. "Now what do think?" He asked. I'm still processing everything. Wait... I'm... "But Winston...I'm not...I'm not allowed to have any romantics yet." I sigh. Urg! I so hate this. Before is Al and now is Winston. "I know." he said. I turn to him. "So you mean...you will wait until we graduate? Because that is the only time I can have any relationship." I look up and stare at the stars for a moment. "Because if you haven't known that,then you can started packing." He let out a small laugh which made me look at him. He turn to me and smiled playfully in which I find it very cute. "You underestimate me,Miss Grace. If you are worrying if I will ever get tired waiting then worry not. For I will wait for you,because patience is good virtue. And of course you are worth the wait." Okey. I'm drained. I cannot deny it. My butterflies are having war inside me. But its just so good to hear it from him. How I wish that tomorrow is already graduation. I smiled. "But what I want to give you now is something that cannot wait,Miss Grace. I hope you will accept it." He is giving something? "Wha-..." I wasn't able to finished my question because he started to move closer to me. Okey...just relax Grace.
12 inches. I can feel his gaze. 11 inches. I can feel my heart race. 10 inches. My butterflies are going crazier. 9 inches. My hands starts to feel cold. 8 inches. I can feel his breathing. 7 inches. I can fully smell his perfume. 6 inches. My heart wants to jump out from my chest. 5 inches. My face starts to heat up. 4 inches. I started to hear nothing. 3 inches. I can smell his mouthwash. It's mint. 2 inches. My head is singing. 1 inch. I can feel his warm. And finally I can feel his lips on mine. And my body,my butterflies,my head,my every being starts to relax and accept the fact that...
'Yes,there are things that we both know but,I am ready to unfold it with him.'
