Love Found in Him (Ongoing)

Little Secret of His Heart

CHAPTER 5

What a tiring day it has been for the lad who just got home looking so weak and dull. Must have been exhausted by the training this afternoon. He damped himself on the bedroom beneath him as he paved himself to take a rest. He just came up of his room. Minutes already passed before he forced his body to take a bath.

"It's quite a long day, " he told himself as he undress from his sweaty training uniform shooting it to the bin outside the entrance of his bathroom.

Soaking his body in the warm soothing water he had mixed on the tub. He took his time to relieved his soring muscles as he shut his eyes to relax himself.

Setting his thought on a white plain T-shirt and a blue boxer for the bedtime as soon he got out of the bathroom. He was alone in the house at the moment for his parents were busy on their coffee shop, either the two will come home late or choose to sleep there in the shop tonight.

He took his feet downstairs to look for something to eat. He had eaten his dinner with the team earlier before going home yet he still felt a sudden starvation. As he approached the kitchen, he cautiously opened the refrigerator that was behind him and immediately looked for food to eat. Two packs of pan, butter, sweets, drinks and fruits welcomed his eyes upon opening it. Beers in a can and bottles of water were also seen. He searched for something and find nothing else. So he closed the door and looked for something in the cabinet. Nuts and curls were inside the first one he opened while on the other were noodles of different flavors. Disappointingly, he closes it too as he turned his attention at the dining table. Surprisingly there were two boxes of pizza awaited him as if expecting to be recognized by him. He opened them hoping for a piece or two inside. With the fate of luck on his side, three pieces of ham and cheese flavored cold pizza unfolded him on the second box. Grinning widely as he can, he carried it to the microwave, putting the remaining pieces in a plate into the microwave and turn it on to 3 minutes of reheating.

With a plate on his right hand and a bottle of water on the other he slowly paced to his room. Turning on the tv on his quarter, clicking numbers on the controller as he looked for something nice to watch -horror would best suit his mood. Yet after many attempts of clicks he can't find something nice to suffice himself so he just decided to turn that thing off and throw to the side the remote he was holding.

He puts his attention again to the pizza on his desk. Putting them one at a time on his mouth filling his hungry tummy and dozes off the whole 500ml bottled water as his system happily responded with a burp.

He was on the chair beside his desk recalling his day at school when he suddenly remembers to get something. He crawled himself to bed picking his phone on his backpack. He can't stop but blush as someone's name suddenly popped up on his mind. He fixed his focus back on his screen and scroll on his phone. There were stolen pictures and saved one's hidding on his notes. Without making any second thought, this young man happily opened it. Upon opening it only two things appeared on his screen. A girl who was stalked -obviously by him or the said girl who was with another girl.

One of the pictures in the screen was portraying these two ladies who were in the corner of the library who had total focus on their books. And other pictures seemed to be taken inside the class when they were talking or reading, on the canteen while eating, them while walking in the hallway or even outside their building taking their time on the benches and more.

"How cute of her when focused on something," he told himself in a whisper adoring the apple of his eyes on the picture.

"Three long years, " he reminded himself.

"I had kept this feelings on her for three years already, " he added.

"What a coward am I?" wondered himself.

Recalling all their bond, this three including him have known to be close with each other yet only became a little distant himself when he figured out he had fallen for one of them. He focused himself on basketball to hide his coward self from being caught for he was also afraid to know her side and the only way that comes to his mind inorder to avoid destroying the friendship founded between them if he failed them by confessing was this. Addition to it were girls that stick to him like glue from time to time who make rants and bullies to the two which made them a bit off with their friendship. But that was part of the past already, this time everything was starting to back to normal for him his guts told him so.

Back on his tracks, he continued to scroll his phone. Zooming on all the picture that mets his gaze as he blush every now and then and day dream about the day they'll become couple. What a dream come true for his longing heart.

'He must be the luckiest guy on Earth' he thought to himself while looking forward to that day to happen in the near future.

He can't help but stop for a moment when a picture of a happy looking girl pops on his screen. A sudden electricity from the picture on his phone seemed to cross through him making his heart flutter so hard. 'Thud' 'thud'. His heart beats fast seeming like it will explode anytime. Girly, others may say but boy! he was feeling this way. Heat was rapidly increasing on his cheeks as he kept on staring at her on the screen and can't stop but blush.

What a lovely woman in front of her. Looking so gorgeous with her shoulder length silky hair that complemented her face and pale color. With her alluring eyes and those long thick lashes he can't help himself but be mesmerized with them every time they meet each others gaze and every moment she smiles or laugh he felt like hearing music on the clouds and they were pleasant on his ears.

The three years of admiring her without her knowing was hard for him especially when there were times when some guys tried to impress her or if she got conversations with the boys or even their classmates which made him jealous but can't do anything about it because he was just a friend for her or he just think so. And that long time made him realize how deep that love he felt was for her making him want to take the risk to confess to her sooner.

He kept on scrolling and staring at her for the longest time today.

"It must be this year, " he pursued himself.

"Whatever may be the outcome of this," he firmly stated.

" I LOVE YOU, " he sincerely told the girl on her screen and lovingly kissed her forehead.
