Friends to Lovers

Chapter 2

It's already late, and I'm here at her place, cooking dinner for her because she might be able not to do so. That's Mila. She tends to forget about her health, which I became her person to do all of that.

I sighed when I looked at my wrist watched only to see that it's already eleven in the evening and yet she's not home. I'm sitting down on one of the chairs in the dining while looking at her ready dinner as I keep glancing on my phone because she might text me.

I yawned while I was trying to stay awake to guard her food. I hope that she'll be here at any minute because I don't want to serve her cold food. I don't want to reheat the food either because it could lessen the nutrients she may get from it.

The next thing I knew, I felt something on the back of my head, caressing my hair. I smiled, even if it saddens me to wait for hours. I didn't know that I fell asleep and when I looked at her window, there was already sunrise.

"Hey, you fell asleep, Lau," I looked at Mila as I tried to pull myself together and let myself smile at her widely.

"I did?" I chuckled as I looked at the food in front of me. It was still there, not even one bite on it.

"Yep," She responded as I felt her back hug me and kissed me on the top of my head. I closed my eyes when she did that, "I'm sorry, I couldn't eat what you've to serve last night. I've already eaten with him." She whispered in so much embarrassment in her voice.

I smiled as I raised my hand to reached her face and pinched her cheeks. I suddenly felt a tear fell from my left eye. I chuckled as I tried to make up excuses so she won't feel bad about it.

"Ouch!" She reacted.

"Don't be full of yourself. I practiced cooking last night for my future husband." I laughed at that lie. What kind of stupid reason is that?

"Is that so? Oh, I couldn't afford to lose my friend yet!" She said. I secretly wiped my tear as I turned around to looked at her. She's already pouting at me like a kid.

"Hmm, why? Because I'm a good cook?" I jokingly said, and she chuckled as a response.

"Nope, because you are so cute!" She suddenly pinched my cheeks as if she'll miss doing that.

How could she let go of me that easily? Am I not worth it? Could she not make things for me to stay? Because I want to stay the rest of her life. Would she let me?

Why do we love to comfort us by the person who hurts us?

Is it normal to let the person hurt and comfort us at the same time? Is it okay to longed more for them even if we should already avoid them in the first place?

Mila is the meaning of Love for me, and it would be hard for anyone to change that. I love her more than ever. I don't care about her flaws because everything about her is important to me. Every single of her is worth like a diamond, the thing that I would keep and take care of because that's her value. She deserves everything, and I want to give it to her even if I'm not in the spotlight of her attention.

I am willing to step back on everything for her. I would do everything that she asks me to do. I'll keep chasing her until at the end of the road. Even if it's an endless road and leads nowhere? I'll take it.

I've never been attached like this before, and I didn't know that the person that I would fell for is the person that could hurt me in the end.

I guess that's how we love someone. We sacrifice a lot of things.

After I discarded all the food I've cooked, I washed all the plates and everything I used last night.

I walked to the living area as I sat down beside Mila. She was watching a series that I know about, and It was a good one.

"What's that about?" I asked her, even if I already know about it.

I always like to make conversation with her like even if it's nonsense, I'll still keep going. I want to hear her voice all the time, and it's like music in my ears.

"Shh... A good scene will come!" She quickly said while trying to focus on what she's watching.

It's our day off from work. We decided that every after of Inventory day, we'll take a rest day at her home. It became our habit and bonding as well. At least, we still get alone time with each other.

"There you go!" Mila giggled when the two in the movie suddenly kissed while I'm watching her. It made me smile to see her reactions. It's adorable.

"You support the girl-to-girl relationship?" I suddenly asked while we were watching another movie.

"Hmm, of course. I'm an ally," She smiled. I guess she won't judge me for liking her. I'm in so much trouble for being in love with this woman.

She suddenly turned around, and I almost jump in a bit of shock because of her sudden actions. She's too close, and all I could hear is my loud heartbeats!

Mila looked at me intently as she stared at my face as she moves closer. I just stare back, and I couldn't think of anything that would stop her. What is she thinking? It's new, and I couldn't read her mind!

She suddenly smiled as she moved the strand of my hair from my face to my right ear with her fingers because it's hindering my face.

"I want to kiss you, Lau."
