The next few days have been troublesome and confusing. He never actually called me after the swimming pool encounter and even if we meet in the hallways I never really wanted to talk to him, which is weird. Yes, I guess am ignoring him but waiting for him to ask if something was wrong. But looks like he just wants to be with his world and I was never in his world.
"Maybe you should go and ask him, what's going on?" Jane confronted me. I knew she would talk about this but didn't know how soon.
"Like, hey! Are we done talking and shit? How am I supposed to ask him?" I beam at her.
"Well, you know what exactly to ask him. Go and ask- Hey! You been avoiding me and not even calling-"
"Exactly, even I can call him and ask what's happening rather than waiting for him to make a move all the time"
"You are correct, but listen to me, he was supposed to ask you, did you enjoy the time with him the other day? What did he do? He just started to ghost you."
"Probably because I didn't smile at him in the hallways which he took it as a wrong way and now ended up like this."
As we were discussing about him, he came and sat next to me with a big wide smile. You see that's why I hate him. He could come and be all goofy where I forget I was supposed to be mad at him.
"Hey sweetheart, how you been?" he kisses my forehead and Jane watches all this with a blushy face.
"I was doing good, how have you been? Did you think let's go meet the forgotten girl today? Cause it looks like that." I snap at him. I couldn't stop myself from asking him.
"It's not like that..."
"Is it because Jane is sitting here and you don't want to talk about it?"
"No, of course not. I have no problem with your friend sitting along and knowing about this. I know you tell her everything, so obviously."
That was slightly embarrassing but he knows that I am at least sharing it with some person, so he would be careful whatever he does to me.
"Then what is it?" I stare at him.
"I just think am getting serious about you, which is quite abnormal for me, if you could say that. I never felt something like this earlier with the number of girls I have dated."
"Well, am speechless. All I could say is, everything has a first.." I was just starring at him wide-eyed.
"I love you, Gina. I really love you. Would you like to be mine?"
This was so unexpected but looking at Jane's reaction from the other side I knew what I should be saying to him.
"Yes, yes she will be," Jane screams atop her lungs. I laugh along at her reaction.
"Yes, I will."
And we kiss as everyone around us stare at us and claps for this brave act in the cafeteria.
