That Shy Girl

Chapter 6

When I woke up, he's already gone, leaving a note on my night table just under the same brownie I had earlier at school.

Sorry, something just happened at my house so I had to leave. Anyway, I baked this brownie hehe :>

He baked this? I thought it could be bought at school!

It was so delish…

I stood up and stretched. I feel better now.

I see that Felix set up Lixie's bed just fit in the corner space of my room. Lixie was sleeping. Right on her bed were her toys with evidence of chewing it up by her. And there was still some leftover in her bowl.

Felix did take good care for both of us.

AND I KEEP FEELING MY CHEST BEATING WHENEVER I THINK OF HIS NAME.

Could I be…. In love???

I mean he keeps on showing motives and I have no idea what i'm talking about now.

I quickly got my phone and called mom who is probably at home now. I am freaking nervous.

As soon as mom picked up I blurted out "Mom when can you know if you're in love?"

There was silence "mom?"

"Oh my, Is that you Amora?" That's what my mom calls me. "What did you just ask?"

" Uhh, I… I kind of made friends at school. And one asked me this question…" I hate lying to my mom "Anyways, nevermind. How's your day mom?"

"Me and my colleagues are going to go out tomorrow to celebrate Kristina's birthday" she's my total opposite too. She's way too outgoing "Hey, you mentioned friends! I'm so proud of you honey!"

"Well, yeah. We just hung out the past few days, they're nice"

"About your question, you know I don't remember much of how I fell in love with your father. All I can think of is how he always makes me feel like he's always there for me when all things fall.

Your dad was very famous when we were your age. He always had the vibes with other people, and I was kind of annoyed at him for that. But then, everything changed when bad luck sided with me. I lost friends, your granny and gramps got angry with me and let me sleep outside,"

This is literally the first time I'm hearing this… All I know was they were highschool when they got together but she didn't tell me what they had gone through. Ooooh I bet Quentin's gonna be jealous about this hehehe.

I listened carefully to mom, "And when I was outside our house, your dad just happened to pass by. And it was raining that time"

"This sounds like a drama" I jokingly said, but am envious

"Well it kind of is, so going back he offered me to sleep in his house. Mama and Papa's anger was no joke, so I had no choice. I can't stand being in the rain you know!" Yeah she's not a fan of rainfalls "That's when I realized how good of a man he really is. Although he's a very annoying person. In short, my heart just beat for him. And that time I was still with another guy"

"Oh my god, really?? This is like the same in the novels I read!" I exclaimed in disbelief

"Do I sound like I'm lying?"

"Yeah!" I said without hesitation and she just laughed

"Well believe it or not, it really did happen like that. Tell your friend, if he or she feels flattered whenever

that person is around then it's still not sure whether he or she's in love. Everyone can feel flattered by anyone. But you'll only know you're in love once you can see the rest of your life with him"

"Is that Jaja you're talking to?" I heard dad's large voice at the back

"Yeah, here talk to your dad honey. I'm gonna change love you sweetheart!"

"Love you too mom, and thanks for the advice"

"I knew it's you who needed it"

"What? No! I meant thanks in behalf of–"

"How's my little girl?" I sighed. I can hear mom's evil laugh from behind the phone. She loves to tease me.

"I had a fever earlier at school but i'm fine now. How about you dad?"

"Well, you know I always get scolded by your mother here and it's nothing new. That's what I love about her"

"You love being scolded? That's weird"

"Meh, if it's your mother then yes. If it's my boss? Hell nah" I giggled at what dad said "what's this love topic you just had with your mom huh? Is there something you should tell me too?"

Argh, dads always get protective over their daughters

I'm done with lying "I think this is just crush things"

"Oh yeah? Who is it? Will I like him? If it's like those punks who likes to knock people out for fun, I will seriously–"

"Dad, relax. My standards are high, and he's not that type of guy. In fact, he's really nice"

"It's not wrong to love someone, sweetie. Just make sure your heart is safe. I don't want to see my baby cry, mkay?"

Sigh "Yes dad, thanks for your kind words"

"Good. Or else I'll whack whoever hurts you" I laughed half-heartedly

We chatted a bit more and I hung up. Letting out a sigh, I just said Felix is my crush. Well, I do have lots of anime crushes. Rarely on real humans, like that korean idol Jisung and now Felix adds up to my human crush.

Oh my gosh I sound like an alien.

Anyways, I thought of felix. I mean yeah he's handsome and kind and artistic, but I just don't imagine us being together. Why? Because I'm just so simple and he's everything every girl would dream of.

Probably would get mad at me for experiencing being taken care of by him like earlier.

Sigh.

That's why I'm not much of a fan having a crush on real people I know.
