Part 13 , 14 , 15Suddenly, she took the bus tickets I was holding .
'Look away first ! ' I did as I was told and after five minutes she hold my wrist and put her fist onto my hands . Am I in heaven ?
'I have nothing to give you , so I made these two hearts myself . One for you , one for me . ' I looked at her origami made from the bus tickets and wondered whether I should do something similar . Well , I Just couldn't do anything at that moment but to thank her .
Shortly after , her stop arrived and she had to alight . We got down and I insisted on sending her all the way to her block .
' It's ok . It's not good if I am seen by my neighbours with a guy so late at night you know . ' I nodded and relented . Well , every date has to part eventually right ? I watched her figure fade away as she made her way to the estate until I cant even get a glimpse of her . I am so over the moon today .
For the next few months , we chatted everyday and each time I felt that I am slipping into this pit of angelic darkness called love . She told me she couldn't go out very often as her guardian is very strict - At last she is talking more about herself . Her parents are overseas working , leaving her all alone , which contribute reasons for her character . I know she longs for my company like I long for hers. We are like one inseparable pair of best friends . Whatever problems she has , she consults me and I will be there to give my best advice . Maybe this is what true love is , someone to be there regardless of whether you two are together , someone to guide , shield and depend on .
Jerry, the women's men , said that I am wasting too much time on a single girl . I should just pop the question and leave the thinking to her , after all life is too short to spend on one person . But the urge to reveal my feelings hasn't reached to a stage of desperation yet . Maybe next time I would , but when is the right time ?
' Cloud , I have something to ask you . ' Oh no , not again ?
' What do you think of me ? ' Oh ^!&# , peer evaluating time ! Even though I speak easily to myself , when it comes to expressing to HER , I'm bound to score an F9 for it .
' Cute ? And you are a very good friend of mine .'
' That's all ? '
What do you mean that's all ? Oh dear , I have to say something that she wants to hear or forever I will be condemn in her eyes . Noooooooo... I decided to avoid the question using my avoiding tactics .
' There are a lot of things in my heart that I feel about you , but in this short span of time , I can't express it out . But regardless of what is it , I want to let you know that I treasure you a lot . ' Phew, lucky thing I managed to come up with this marvellous sentence . It seems that after knowing her , I am beginning to learn the trades of using words .
' Oh , Ic =] . '
I didn't know how to reply her smile and decide to leave it until she reply me with something else . Five minutes went by and I started pondering whether I should reply anything .
' Cloud , can we meet for dinner tomorrow ? '
Another date ! Yeah !!!! I screamed literally at my computer screen .
' Sure ! What about your guardian ? She allows you to go out ? '
' Yea , she allows me to go out tomorrow . '
' Ok , we'll meet at Mac at Parklane ok ? '
' Ok I have to go offline now . Oh and remember not to be so early ok ? I'll feel bad if you have to wait for me . '
I smiled at her consideration for me . Before I could reply with anything , she already went offline . Guess that I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see her again .
I arrived early as usual , this time about 15 minutes earlier , waiting for her outside Macdonald patiently.
