I KNOW THAT EYES

Primo's POV I've been waiting for the time that I will fall in love just like the couples I see everyday in the park. How does it feel to be loved like that? They look so happy and contented. While me? I'm just drawing those lovebirds who asked me to draw them while sitting on the bench. I wonder how can they be so happy? They are the total opposite of my parents. As I look at my drawing, I just sadly smile. When will I experience to be love? People say I should look for love because they don't come easy. I look at the couple in front of me, "Sir, it's done. Here you go." I said and give the Drawing to him. He's looking back at me while his girl is busy checking the drawing. "Hey boy, I see how you smile sadly at the drawing, why? The drawing was good." The guy said to me. "Uh no sir, It's not that." I assure him with a smile. "I see, okay here you go. Thank you, you did a great job." He says and give me $50. "Uhh, sir this is too much." I immediately said. "You know what kid? Your works worth more than that. Keep up the good work, you'll be successful one day." He said then leave. I actually hate those hopeful words, because I ended up expecting things that won't happen. Suddenly people began running and the sky get darkened. "Oh s**t!" I cuss and get my things immediately before it started to rain. Dang it, it rained heavily. I tried to run faster while I'm not aware the ground was slippery. I slipped and my things was thrown away. "Ouchhhh!" I caressed my butt cheeks because it hurts damn much. I get up and get my things, I am soaking wet now man! I hate this life. After getting my things, made myself get to my old car. I throw my things inside and get myself inside at the driver's seat. Suddenly someone get inside my car and sit beside me. "W-woah woah, who are you?! Get out of my car!" I yelled at her. But she just look at me uninterested. "Drive me at McDonald's I'm hungry." She said. She pulled the seatbelt and it got stuck. "Don't pull it like that! You might br--" she didn't let me finish my sentence and she pulled the seatbelt again and got broken. "Oops." She said and smirk. I am pissed, I am damn pissed by this stranger. "Get out of my car." I calmly said. "Oh c’mon! Take me to McDonalds! I badly need to go there!" She whined. "You came in without my consent! I don't even know you! Yet you're bossing me around! Who are you, huh?! I won't take you to McDonalds, it's raining heavily I need to go home, so get out!!!" I shouted at her. And now she's lookin at me like it's my damn fault. Her eyes, wait is she going to cry?! No, no s**t! I close my eyes and now I heard her sobbing. ”Now it's my fault! Fvck it!" I said and look outside. "I-I'm sorry, I'll go now." She replied. I didn't look at her while she's leaving my car. I just heard the door shut. I look at my rear view mirror, and saw her running through the rain. And I saw her get inside of a car but then a guy get out from the driver's side and run around the car. I saw the guy pulling the girl out of his car. What the hell is wrong with that girl? Why does she break into someone's car like that. I get out of my car and run towards the guy and that girl. She was pulled out by the guy and push her away. And I immediately run when she stumbled on the ground. The guy immediately started his car and get away. I pull her up and look at her face. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Why do you break into someone's car just like that? Look, he pushed you because you're crazy!" I irritatedly said. I rolled my eyes and look at her again, she's shaking because of the cold rain. We are both soaking wet. "Come, I'll take you to McDonalds." I said. I held her wrist and run through the rain to get into my car. We both make ourselves comfortable inside my car and I started to drive. We get into the drive thru to order, and guess what?! This girl doesn't have money! I ended up paying for this crazy girl. I park my car so she can eat what I ordered for her peacefully. She starts digging in. "You wanted to go to McDonalds but you don't have money. You're crazy." I said. She smiled at me. Her eyes curved as she smile and I can tell that those eyes are like those peoples eyes that I've drawn. She looks happy. "After that, where would you go?" I asked. "Home." She plainly said. I just nod and wait for her to finish her food. "I'll be going now, thank you for helping me." She made her way out of my car. I don't even know her name. She doesn't look like broke or something, but why is she doing this? She has a Rolex watch, probably she's rich and then ran away from their home. Crazy. I started to drive to get home. As I park my car in front of our house, I can already see my parents shouting at each other from the window. Nothing changed. I get my things and get myself inside the house. As I opened the door, my parents looked at me with their furious eyes. Their eyes that I always see since I was young. When will those eyes can look at me with love? I guess never. I look away and made myself up to my room. I change my clothes and get into bed, until I fall in the deep slumber. "PRIMO!" I wake up because of the noise. I check the time it's already 12:54 A.M. "PRIMO!" again, someone is calling me. I stand up and look outside my window. I saw a girl, she is wearing a green dress while smiling at me. Who is she? "Come here!" The girl said. I didn't hesitate, I immediately get myself out of the house to get to her. She looks so pretty. "Hi!" She happily greeted me. "May I know who are you? And why do you know my name?" I shyly asked and scratch the back of my head. "I'm Olivia, it's surprising that you didn't know me, Primo that hurts a bit." Olivia replied. She made her way to the streets. "Where are you going? It's late night and it's dangerous for a girl to roam around this late." I told her. "Who said I'll roam around alone? You're with me! So let's go!" Olivia happily said. What is happening to the world lately? This afternoon I met a crazy girl in the park that breaks to somebody else's cars. And now a girl who came and shouted my name in the middle of night, I didn't even know her. What the actual hell is happening? "Olivia I'm sorry, I really can't remember you. I'll go back to my house and you should go back to your home too." I said. "No I won't. Don't you love me anymore?" Olivia asked. What the? I don't even know her! I don't even have a girlfriend before! "What are you saying? I have never met you before, I never had a relationship before, so what the actual heck are you saying? Stop playing with me, maybe you just called the wrong Primo." I said and walk through the door steps. I felt her hands on my wrist. I look at her puzzled. Her eyes they were beautiful, her electric blue eyes are like ocean, they were stunning. I think I've seen them before, her eyes are never a stranger to me. "You never changed Primo." Olivia said and smile prettily. It's like her eyes is pulling me to her. But then I get my senses back. "O-olivia, I'm sorry. You should go home." I suggested and she just nod. I get myself inside the house and run to my room. I fall in the deep slumber again. My phone alarm began ranging, reason to wake me up. I slowly opened my eyes and sit at the edge of my bed. "Is that a dream?" I said to myself. Well, I feel it is just a dream. I can only remember her eyes, electric blue eyes. I immediately get my paper and my pencil to draw those eyes. I draw every detail that I remember from last night. What if it's just a dream? Am I able to meet her again? What am I thinking? psh. I should prepare my things and go to the park now. I prepare and wear nice clothes then made my way to the kitchen. I saw my mom crying, she looks at me. Her eyes, they were sad. "You're leaving now?" She said uninterested and sob. "What did he do this time?" I asked her about my father. "Stop asking and leave." I heard my Dad behind me. I immediately leave the house and get into my car. I make my way to the park. As usual this park is filled with happy people. They say you need to fill your surroundings with happy people so you'll receive positivity. Does this people knew that I use them as a fuel to make myself calm and relax? I am thankful for these happy people. "Hi!" a kid came by with his balloon. "Oh, hi! how can I help you?" I bend my knee to get my height leveled to him. "You're the guy who draw people in the park right?" The kid said. "Uh yes I am. Do you need something?" I asked. "Actually c-can you draw me? With my balloon?" He asked cutely and shyly smile. "Okay sure, you can sit there at the bench and I will draw you. This might take a while." I told him. "I don't mind. What's your name?" The kid asked. "Well, my name is Primo and I'm an artist." I smiled. "I am Jacob." He happily introduces his self. "Well, Jacob sit and relax because I'm going to draw you now with your balloon." I said and he nod. I look at his features, and draw it. I should not miss those little cutie cheeks that he have. While I am drawing him, he is wagging his feet while sitting. He looks so cute. "Is it done Primo?" he asked. "Give me 2 minutes more and it'll be done." I said and continue drawing him. And voilà! It's already done. "Jacob come here, it's done." I said and he run towards me. He looked at the drawing and his eyes widen. "Wow! this really looks like me!" He amazingly said. "Haha of course." I said. He look at me with a wide smile and hug me. I was surprised by his act. This is my first time getting hugged by a kid, it feels nice. "You're my friend now!" He happily said. Then he run away. Well, I just got robbed right there, he doesn't need to pay for it. While I'm looking at the running kid someone just spoke that made me shock. "The kid didn't pay hahaha." She said. I look at her and it's the McDonald girl from yesterday. "I will not take you to McDonald's so get away from me." I said and hissed. "Hey, you're rude!" She yelled. "I'm not! You're crazy!" I yelled back. She was in shock when I yelled back, her mouth was left in awe. "Now what? you're gonna cry again? I'm sorry I won't get fooled again." I said and sit on my spot. "Your drawings sucks!" She shouted and run away. That girl is not sane! Gosh. I look at my side and saw Jacob coming with the crazy girl. Why is he with her? "Primo, this is my auntie." Jacob said. Unlucky me, she's the auntie. "Oh she's your auntie." I extend my hand to this crazy woman in front of me. But she's not accepting my hand. So I get it back. "I'm sorry, Auntie is on her period right now." Jacob said and run. I laughed softly because of what he said. "Woah, you know how to laugh?" The crazy woman said. "You know what, you should pay for my drawing, and the McDonald's food that I bought for you." I said. "In your dreams." She said and smiled. I was taken aback by her smile. It's pretty. "What are you looking at?" She asked. I get back to my senses and I realized I was looking at her smile for how many seconds. "N-nothing. Get lost." I said and turn my back from her. "You like my smile, don't you?" She teasingly said. "The heck are you talking about? Get lost already!" I said. She made her way to her nephew and I get back to work. One day I'll be having my own Gallery and become a successful artist that is known worldwide. One day I will be loved by many. Suddenly I remember the girl from last night, is she just a dream? I'm puzzled up because I confused my dreams to reality. I hope you're real, I am really hoping you're real.
