My Triplet Lovers

She's Still The One

“Alright, I'll tell you... since it looks like you could already tell something's off...”

Troy hesitantly answered.

“Well, it wasn't just that one time where you caught me listening to what you all were talking about. I was listening through the whole thing. Seemed like their charms worked on you... don't worry, it's alright with me”

Troy explained with all of it sounding true but not the last part...

“I admit they're charming but it only worked when I started talking to them, the spell you casted on me when we met was far stronger because with just one look from your eyes, I fell for you instantly like I slipped, fell then landed on you hahaha”

Oh gosh that sounded wrong but I still told him while trying to at least make him smile a little and it worked. I saw a small smile form on his lips as his lips lifted on each corner and I guess kind of lightened up the atmosphere.

“Guess my spell worked to at least make you smile?”

I said starting with sounding proudly then end in a softer tone.

He chuckled at first and nodded a bit as he continued talking to me

“Well, you got parts of that right. Wasn't the joke you tried to pull off that worked though”

Ending with words he knows I'll keep asking about so of course, I started asking for answers now or else I'll keep wondering about what he meant the whole night.

“Hmmm? You sure it wasn't the embarrassing subtle joke that worked?”

I looked at him with a smug look but still awaiting for an answer obviously.

“Nope, it's that thing right there”

He replied while his smile that slowly grew wider while pointing at me.

I still don't get it-

“Hmm?”

It's all I could really think of saying, like it still didn't explain anything so I continued to stare at him with a confused look.

“It was your smile and that laugh of yours. Basically each look you make when you're reacting to something, it's adorable along with that laugh... I'll for sure miss that”

Troy's words made my thoughts completely empty yet heart completely full.

He knows those are things I'm actually kind of self-conscious about 'cause I really don't know what I'm doing at the moment and just going with the flow like, I can't even tell what my face looks like when it happens. Sure it's not that terrible but adorable?

That sounds rather far from what I expect and what I think I look like and no one's ever said that or even point it out...

It left me speechless but in a good way.

“You really think it wasn't that bad?

‘cause I don't know if you're messing with me because no one's ever said that hahahaha”

I tried low-key asking him hoping he'd answer that because I don't know how to put these words correctly in a way it wouldn't sound awkward or weird even as a question.

Without saying a word, he put one hand over my shoulder and still didn't utter a word but just looked at me as if he was scanning my whole face and as he looked more, his once worried look grew a brighter smile the longer he looked at me.

He then locked eyes with me and never thought of looking away while saying these words.

“Well, it's true. You're beautiful in every way.

These little things no one noticed about you is what makes you more breathtaking.

If no one has ever really told you any of this then...

I'm glad I'm the first to tell you and I would gladly remind you each and every single day specially on days that you forget or doubt how amazing you are”

Once again, he left me speechless. Made my heart flutter with each word he spoke like he always does.

Something I'll never get tired of...

For each moment and second that passed by while I was with him, he made me feel it again. Something that I've said no one's managed to do even with the two look alike brothers of his. There I was sure he was the only one that can capture my heart and the only person who could ever make it happen that's why I spent even more time with him up there.

We continued talking then later on, he mentioned a girl which was his neighbor who confessed to him, he showed their conversation.

“Ohh, I see... looks like she really likes you huh? why not go for her since she's near your house hmm?”

That whole time I tried to stay quiet or not make him notice what's on my mind...

Apparently he still knew-

“Ooh, I can feel jealousy in the air hmmm”

He said while smirking at me.

I just pouted and said...

“Pfft, I'm not jealous at all”

It's all I could really say ‘cause I might say too much on times I'm jealous, he's not wrong really but I just wanted to act more like what I promised, act more like his friend than of a lover because the last time that happened, I never got to talk to him for a month.

He didn't say anything for the first few minutes and grabbed me from one of my shoulder and pulled me closer to him then hugged me from the side while rubbing and patting my shoulder up and down as if he's trying to comfort me.

He then leaned even closer to my ear and whispered.

“Don't worry, you're still the one for me Ms. May”

What he called me was a nickname he gave me a few months back but he really just calls me this on special occasions or whenever we're alone so it made me think it was because of both.

It didn't matter much what he called me because I was too distracted 'cause

he stared directly into my eyes after saying those words and as both our eyes froze looking at each other within each other's presence, it's as if I could read what's on his mind...

- Troy's POV -

*alone at the balcony*

I stare farther away into the sun as it sets straying farther away from the skies just like how my thoughts have been these past few days staying a rather far distance from Maya but like a magnet, she draws me near and I can't help it but still love how she makes me feel.

She makes my thoughts all scrambled like make me wonder if I should change my mind...

Sure, I've had girlfriends before too but they never changed my mind whether I was still leaving. I was always sure that nothing could change my mind but I couldn't help but think that I should stay...

Maya is quite different and even after all that's happen, I can trust that she's still the one.

“My mind is troubled, tells me I should run,

But my heart's certain that you're still the one”
