"Someone might call it absurd but I don't believe in love. Sweet Couple? For me it sounds cringe, walking while holding hands? How can you find it romantic?" I rolled my eyes and look at Thomas with my disgusted expression but he just laugh sarcastically. "Really? It's cringe? Who do you think you are trying to fool Christ? Thomas said with a smirk. His too close that I can almost feel his breathe. Too close that even if I move an inch our lips well meet. I looked at him with my fierce and serious face. "What do you mean?" I asked him and maintain my composure even though I feel like losing to him. My heart is beating so fast, and I can't stop looking at his kissable lips and It's too tempting to ignore. "You're just jealous" Thomas said with his provoking tone. I laughed and grabbed him. "Stop this nonsense Mas or else I'm really gonna punch you this time" I said with a warning on it. Thomas is my childhood friend or rather my childhood enemy. I don't know how it happened but we're too close when we're still in kindergarten given that our parents are bestfriends. But suddenly he started hating me out of nowhere. I don't even know the reason he just suddenly acted like that without a proper explanation. "Then prove it to me Christ, be my girlfriend and let's see if it's really cringe or not" Thomas grabbed my waist and look at me with his hypnotizing eyes. My mouth drop and all of a sudden It's too quiet, my heart is pounding faster than before and I feel like it will burst any moment. Our silent was interrupted by the fireworks. The sky is too dark but it still looks beautiful with the fireworks. I still remember why our parents named us Christy and Thomas. It is because Christmas is the day we are born, and it's too meaningful. We're basically like twins, I treasure and treated Thomas like my real twin brother but it just pain me whenever I recall his despise expression when he told me to never ever treat him like a twin brother. "Fine, but after this childish play promise me that you won't never ever show your face in front of me again" I said but Thomas expression doesn't look good and it's my first time seeing him with that expression. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am ashamed to admit, Too afraid to commit, Too late to regret, But all of it it's just a bet. It's a Christmas holiday when we make the bet Yet, it's still vivid when he call me Christ It's like a music with a beat Causing my heart to melt. @Ziostar
