ONE SHOT COMPILATION

WITH LOVE RESERVED

I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU, LOVE

I started to like Mark, not just because he's a gentleman, or handsome, but because he makes me smile. He never failed.

It all started in intramurals; we're on the same team; we're not close yet, and we've already made a connection; my day doesn't interact unless I'm with him.

I remember those days when he went his way for me, constantly buying me water, inviting me to lunch, small gestures; we were like that all day.

He's always there for me to support, and cheer me up.

Until that day came, I realized that it's not just a simple admiration for him, this is what they called love.

The day after, I'm not the only one who felt that because he confessed his feelings towards me, and yes, he felt that same way as mine.

He courted me, just how I wanted to be courted, the way he was treating me, I felt like I was a princess.

I allowed myself to be happy again, to feel love, the kind of "I'll love you to the end".

As days passed by, we became in a relationship, and he didn't fail to make me happy.

He's sweet, but most of the time, he's getting colder. Because of me, yes. I'm a cold and boring person, acting like nothing has happened.

I tried to understand. I hate arguments, because I can feel anytime, he can just drop me and anytime he can leave me.

There's not enough time that I give. We don't always get together. I don't know what he did all afternoon. For me, it doesn't require us to always talk and be together, but I trusted him.

I know I'm not good enough for Mark. I gave my best, but I still feel useless.

Months passed and we broke up. I suddenly wiped my tears while still feeling the pain in my chest.

I let him, as he wanted it to happen, not because he cheated on me, but because I love him so much.

Just like other boys, he didn't fulfill his promise.

LOVE TAKES TIME

The man I didn't expect would come into my life, named Jomar. In one chapter of his storyline, he was used and the person he liked didn't like him.

I knew him, because he was a friend of my friend.

Months passed by, he confessed his feelings towards me, and he said he liked me, but I didn't believe it, for the reason that he wanted someone else, and maybe he was just confused, because the person he wanted didn't like him and I saw him at times that hurt him.

I told him that. I didn't feel the same way. In fact, I did. Our feelings are mutual.

He is so sweet and caring, he's my ideal man actually, but I am only up to my imagination.

Because I can't do what I have in mind.

Days passed by, I thought he would lose his liking for me, because people nowadays when you say you don't like them, they will hate you too, like everyone else does. I have made a way to dislike myself.

I am afraid, because it might happen again. The only difference is different people but the same event.

Despite the rejection he got from me, he still continued and, without pressure, he didn’t insist.

Get a man who will strive to get you in the right way and will wait even without certainty.

THE PERSON I LIKE, LIKES ME

"My day is beautiful, like it's just you." Fred introduced himself as I entered the classroom.

I did not manifest a thrill.

"Yen, what do you want? Water or me-"

"I want you out of my sight." He was caught in his chest and it seemed to hit him from there.

This one is very overacting, he must over to be thankful because I like him.

All day, I ignored him, because I didn't want him to feel like I wanted him.

"Yen, have you had lunch yet?" I continued reading the book and let him speak next to me.

"What are you reading? Romance, gen. Fict-" I closed the book, and was about to stand up, when he stopped me.

During these times, I want to stay by his side.

"Yen, wait, where are you going?"

"In the place where you are not there." His facial expression changed, but he was still handsome.

He let go of my hand.

"The heck yen!" He was acting hurt.

"You look like a fool." I was about to leave when I saw a witch in the distance, and she was on our way.

I looked at Fred, because I was sure he was the target of the witch.

"F-fred, do you want to have lunch?"

I didn't wait for him to answer and I pulled him out.

"Yen! Tell me if you want to, let's escape." I stopped pulling at him.

"Just a joke." He said and laughed. He pulled me and kept it away, but that won't happen even if I want it someday. Kidding.

"Yen, do you know-"

"I do not know." I said seriously, while eating chips.

"I like you, Yen."

It was as if my world had stopped and I was completely choked.
