Can I?
1176 Words
I was woken up by the Sunlight peeking through the curtains of the balcony's glass door. I rubbed my eyes, stretched my hand to reach my glasses that were on the table beside me and wore them. My eyes were still half opened when I heard a notification sound coming from my cell phone. I lazily lifted up my body and sat on the bed while reaching for it.
"Who could it be so early in the weekend morning?" I thought.
I opened the message which was sent by Larra.
Larra: Kim and I will come over at your house, let's finish our homeworks and party in the evening.
I replied agreeing to her message. It's been so long since they came over here, and my mom is asking for them all the time.
I stood up upon hearing the doorbell ring, thinking that it's them. I opened the glass door of the balcony and took a look at who's getting inside the house at this moment.
"s**t!" I murmured as my still sleepy ass had fully awoken with my eyes widened.
I quickly removed my glasses and wore my contact lenses, then I hurriedly went downstairs, meeting a loser who was already inside the house.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him, furrowing my eyebrows with confusion.
My mom suddenly appeared and went beside loser, giving him a touch on the shoulder while saying," What brings you here Kei?"
"Mom sent me to give this to you," says the loser while wearing a slight smile looking at my mom, then he hands her a container.
"What's this?" says mom.
"Cupcakes," says loser, which made my mom create a big smile since she loves cupcakes.
"Give my thanks to your mom later, Come on eat with us, I'll let you taste my cooking," my mom mumbled, which made me look at loser who automatically looked at me upon hearing that.
My mom told loser to wait in the living room while they are busy preparing food on the table. I followed loser there while holding two ice cream sticks. I sat 12 inches away beside him and with a bit of hesitation, I stretched out my hand, giving him one of the ice cream sticks.
"M-mom wants to give this to you" I said then I rolled my eyes.
He took it and nodded slightly without saying anything then he peeled off its cover and started eating it silently. The silence between us stayed for a while, not until I finished eating mine.
"Mom called you Kei earlier, was that your-"
"My real name is Keiji." He said then he continued to eat his ice cream.
"Cool name, but I'll still call you loser" I whispered to myself but he reacted slightly, maybe he heard it.
"Suit yourself" He said then he suddenly looked around and locked his eyes on mine as he moved slowly towards me.
*BADUMP *BADUMP *BADUMP
With my heart pounding so fast, I fought back and also glued my eyes on him who managed to sit beside me. He then slowly lifted up his hand and gently wiped the ice cream beside my lips with his thumb which I allowed him to do. I was stunned on my seat but I don't want him to think that I'm weak with these things, I want to look strong enough to handle and fight back with his actions. I don't want him to think that a loser like him can make a Queen flinch.
He still had his eyes glued on mine then he gently touched my face, removing the hair that was slightly covering my left eye and put it at the back of my ear. He then leaned his face even closer which made me pinch my thighs, trying to stop myself from shivering.
"You're dying to kiss me, aren't you?" I said, trying to act so tough.
He suddenly put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me even closer.
"I'm not but...Can I?" He said then he looked at my lips for a second and looked into my eyes again.
*BADUMP *BADUMP *BADUMP
F*ck! My face turned red upon hearing that. What was I thinking!? I can't do this, I shouldn't have acted so tough.
He's still touching my nape and is staring straight into my eyes with his face very close to mine.
"Kids, Come here, the food is ready!" My mom shouted which made us push each other and look away.

"Eat up, here, let me put it on your plate." Mom said while putting a lot of food on loser's plate.
I can't help but to frown while staring at the loser in front of me, quietly enjoying my mom's service as if he's a VIP guest. He's glancing at me from time to time while my mom continuously acts like he's the president's son. Tsk, he's annoying me on purpose. Didn't he feel awkward at all from what had happened earlier?
"You're dying to kiss me, aren't you?" s**t! Why did I say that? Baka kira!
Out of annoyance with myself and the loser in front of me, I stepped on his feet which made him jump slightly on his seat and look under the table. Then he gave a look at me with his eyes starting to belittle, as if he was threatening me. But I just looked at him while raising my brows and smirked.
"Come on...loser." My mouth actually said those words in front of him but I didn't make a sound, or else, my mom will notice.
Loser replied with a slight smirk then he wiped his lips with his thumb while still looking at me which made me gulp. I suddenly remembered what he did to me earlier so I stepped on his feet again with force and rolled my eyes.
"Damn you!" I said without making a sound again.
After we finished eating, I stood up quickly then I excused myself. I was about to head to my room when my mom said, "Take him outside," which made me frown even harder and suddenly lift the tone of my voice while saying, "No!"
My mom looked at me with a threatening look and raised her brows even higher than mine. "You will take him or you will take him?" she said with those fierce eyes and threatening voice.
I looked at loser who's looking on the floor but is obviously pulling his smile.
"Fine, fine. Come on lose- Come on, I'll see you outside" I said while rolling my eyes.
Loser followed me till we reached the door but then I heard the doorbell rang again. "Wait" I said without looking at loser who's behind me.
"What?" He asked but I just told him to stay quiet.
I waited for the maid to go back and tell who's outside the house at this moment, hoping that it won't be Kim and Larra but the maid went to me and said, "You're friends are here Kira"
