Uncertain Attachment

He send it. He waited. And waited.

Waited.

Waited.

None.

No reply.

So he replied Harry.

To: My KindofNaughtyGirl😘😘
-Hey Harry. Just. Hanging around.

He sent it and thought that since she's texting him, maybe she would agree talking to him. He started typing another text to her.

To: My KindofNaughtyGirl😘😘
-Can we talk? Please😃

He put on some clothes and went in the living room, he waited for any replies while watching television. Then, a new message made his phone ring.

Meacah
-Need company? I'll be there if you want. 😃

He replied her with a 'No thanks, I'm good Meacah, thanks for the offer' and he texted Vanessa what he texted to Harry. He said he was sorry because he couldn't wait for her advice. Then the afternoon went on. His head still feeling like it's gonna explode.

By evening, his mother had come home and made dinner. August sits in the veranda again, watching the dull apartment. Not really sure what he's thinking. But in the back of his mind, he wishes to see Vanessa come out of the dull apartment. Unexpectedly, his mind rejoiced when he did see Vanessa came out of it. He saw her scowling at him and she grumbled her way to his gate. She just barged in the gate and reach August with a mad face.

"What did I tell you?! I told you! No showing of emotions!" she yelled at him, August stood and calmed her down.

"Woah there. Vanessa I --.."

"Don't tell me you're going to see her later?!"

"No. She didn't reply."

"See?! You shouldn't have replied! She was just testing you if you still have feelings for her!"

"Well I do have! I can't deny that!"

"We had a deal!"

"That wasn't a deal! It's an offer!"

"Well at least you took the offer! That means you're ready to take all what it is there in the offer! More like a deal!"

"Whatever! Well I'm quitting! I'm gonna do my own way!"

"No August! You can't stop now! You've started it --!"

"I can stop whenever I want! And please! Just let me handle this .." he finally calmed down. He sounded unsure and he looks down. Vanessa stepped back, disappointed and kind of mad.

"See? You're not even sure if you'll be in your own."

"I don't know Vanessa. I don't know." he sat down with his head down and Vanessa watched him.

"Come on August, tell me you're not taking back the offer. I've got everything planned for you. And I swear, after the offer, you're gonna love it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Just trust me on this. We're best friends now. Right?"

August looks up at her and smiled. He sighed first before standing up.

"I'm sorry I doubted you. And I'm sorry I replied her."

"It's okay. Just keep your love and affection for her first. Because in love, you have to know who you really are first before loving another. Okay?"

"Do you think I don't know myself?"

"Yeah. But I know you know you're a man. That's one thing you know of yourself." she said and laughed. August laughed too and stops when he found it not funny anymore.

Vanessa sat down on the other couch.

"The 'don't show any emotions' is challenge number two. I know that's the hardest of all, but that's one way to build your strong appeal. You'll have to endure that starting tomorrow I supposed."

"Right. So the first challenge was my confidence. I was confident of who I am."

"No, you weren't. I noticed that when I met you in the department store. You only know who you know and you don't dare to know a stranger."

"Oh? You've got good eye sight to see through that .." he teases her and Vanessa chuckled.

"At least, you've built a strong foundation of your confidence back there at the Kins. And when you're with me, there is no 'strangers' just friends you don't know."

"Whatever. You know many things Chunky, and I've had enough for today, thanks."

Vanessa snorts and scowls at the apartment she's living on.
