Remember Me

Chapter 3 : Crush

"Uhm I need to go." I heard him say.

His voice is still beautiful. I feel like I'm falling to wonderland. If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up from it. I wanna stay like this, next to him. Hug him tight, feel him close to me.

He then coughed to get my attention "Oh yeah I'm sorry."

I let go of him and I swear I quickly felt empty. The feeling of letting go from his embrace feels so empty. When I was hugging him, I felt the comfort that I needed, that I'm at peace. And I swear I was about to doze off if he didn't cough like that.

Once again, his eyes caught my attention. It seems like I was mesmerized by his eyes that it keeps getting my attention. His eyes were the best thing I've ever seen.

"Are you sure you're fine by yourself? Do you want me to walk you home?" oh he's so cute when he said that.

"No, no. I'm fine really. You should probably go." I mean I do want him to take me home but I think I'm bothering him already.

"I insist."

"I'm fine really."

"Please."

He keeps on insisting to walk me home so I eventually gave up and agreed for him to take me home, besides I want to be with him much longer.

It was awkward when we were walking beside each other. I tried to open my mouth many times to say something but nothing comes out of it. I also felt him looking at me many times but he never says something.

He's probably as nervous as I am.

I don't know what's the reason to be nervous but being with him just makes me feel tense. I think it's not a good thing that he walked me home but it's too late to take back everything.

We finally arrived at the door of my apartment and that's when I remembered that day when I shouted at him at the hospital. I then felt apologetic all of the sudden.

So now I had the courage to say something.

"Hey, uhm look I'm sorry about that night, at the hospital. I yelled at you and- I think I was just surprised about what happened. I feel bad yelling at you, sorry." I looked at him with worry in my eyes.

He nodded and smiled at me.

He then puts his hands on my shoulders. I looked at it before looking back at him and was surprised when I saw him staring right through me. I think I saw something in his eyes but it was swift and I'm not quite sure of it.

And no, it was not dirt.

"Hey, it's okay, don't worry about it. Go inside already you're going to get sick." he pushed me softly closer to the door.

"Goodnight, bub," he said.

I waved at him one last time.

And when I was about to turn around, I realized something.

Wait, what?...

"Wait, did you just call me 'bub'?" my eyebrows furrowed so confused about what he just called me.

His eyes widened; he was also probably surprised about it. And then he stuttered, and I gotta be honest, I found that so cute.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to call you that I- I was caught up in the moment and-"

"Goodnight too, bub."

I laughed at his face because he was so confused and surprised at the same time, it was hilarious!

"Wait. We're friends, already right?" he said.

"Yeah."

After one last wave, I turned around and went inside, still laughing. I will never forget this moment.

Nothing much happened after that night, I just washed up and went to bed with a lighter heart and a smile on my face. I put on my favorite pajamas which I only wear on my birthdays. I know it's weird don't judge me.

The next day is as better as yesterday. I still got that smile on my face and I'm all jolly. Veronica was even pissed because I kept on singing, which I always do when I'm happy. I even made breakfast and lunch for us and Roni was so creeped out because of it.

She kept on asking about why I was so happy but I just tell her that I had a very good night. And I gotta say, her reaction was so funny!

When I was arguing with my mom, I thought that I would have a rough night. That I would not be able to sleep well that night. That I would be crying the whole night.

But I was wrong...

It was the opposite.

My mind keeps on traveling to that night when I was with him. I remembered his eyes that were shining brightly, his voice that was so calming, and his smile, ah, perfect. And when he called me bub, I swear I felt butterflies in my stomach.

I wish I could meet him again because I know that when I'm with him I feel happy and all I see is positivity.

I laughed.

I think I might have a crush on someone...
