Unnoticed

Entry 007

Yeah, I purposely cut out the entry. The other part was missing because I couldn’t bear to talk about it yesterday. I was just too shocked that the towel man (I named him ‘towel man’ because when I first saw him, he was wearing a towel but it was the first and last time I saw him wearing those blue towels though) was the one who purposely brought me a soup and meds when I was sick. I just couldn’t believe it. And now that the idea finally sank in my mind, I could finally retell what happened yesterday.

I was about to enter my room again because I just couldn’t be nice to him but he stopped me midway.

“Where are you going, you owe me, right?” he said coolly.

I sharply looked at him but he only flashed a not-so-innocent smile as if he was just the cutest thing in the world…though it’s a bit true. He had those big brown eyes, his nose was cute and his lips…never mind about his lips.

I tried to look away but it's pulling me to look again and so I did. His lips were the most beautiful lips I’d ever since. It’s not too red, not too pink, just enough but the idea of kissing him was very delectable.

What am I even thinking? Okay, I think I don’t know myself anymore.

“What do you want?” I asked as I tried to busy myself counting imaginary stars above just to make myself busy, trying to fight the urge to lose myself in his beautiful face. But it was very hard that I even caught myself looking at him again. And I hated myself for that.

“Be my friend.”

It took me ten seconds just to decipher what he said. And when I finally did, he was already inches away from me. I never saw him walk closer but I must be spacing out that when my senses came back, he was just inches away.

“What?”

“I said, be my friend. Comfort me when I’m sad, talk about stuff and hang out with me,” he replied with deep enthusiasm.

I looked at him with wonder, why was he even acting like this? It’s not like he’s a wallflower. In fact, everyone would come throwing themselves to him but why was he even asking me to be his friend?

“That idea is just so absurd,” I barked. He glanced at me with a pained expression on his face, was that genuine?

“You owe me and you have to do what I want,” he snapped and regarded me with his big brown eyes. Ugh, his eyes were just too expressive that it made me nod like an i***t.

“Fine,” I said casually but deep inside, I was jumping with joy. Someone asked me to be his friend plus that someone was not like any other someone, he was like a Greek God for God’s sake!

“Great!”

He smiled and gave me a bear hug. I was shocked but it made me even shocked when I heard his faint heartbeat. God, I must be dreaming.

And that was history, now, he’s inside my room. Stuck on his ears were my earphones and on his hand was my phone. The last time I check, no one ever dared to be this close to me. But it seemed to me that it’s not going to happen anymore…because I have him.

I would never be alone again because towel man by the name of Dino was here, right beside me.
