It’s only ten in the morning but I’m feeling the heat already. Worse, I’m sweating like a pig and it doesn’t help my situation that an old lady literally crinkled her nose in disgust at me before walking out of the store.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkY0bEr35o
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwwdU7TjWA
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMI2pEgJh2
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTCjOKAH7F
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfBAGgcsZs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8yaBOd66
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MDseDxvIs
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8TDhWydq
My employer, Bass Graham doesn’t like it when his employees slack off during their shift or talk to themselves, although I’m not the only one who does this. Jenny, our cake artist do this quite frequently as well. She claims she’s having a pep talk and I totally believe her. Our boss probably doesn’t even like us breathing but oh well, that’s just Bass when he gets grumpy or anxious about something. But he’s also responsible and passionate about what he’s doing and I know this because I’ve been working here the longest, besides Jenny and two other co-workers at Bass Bakes for almost two years. Still, that doesn’t mean I’m not intimidated by him, especially with his burly physique and quick temper.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttdkc5XIly
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPXYIwvAfi
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfmgsQgho5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQx1D9qCiJ
“Sorry doesn’t get you anywhere , Francesca. And why are you standing in front of the oven? No wonder you’re sweating.” he barked before walking off to probably scold some workers in the back.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCMJCkdawM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjeTJ1n6M1
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHkeZXFTUD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yJaQSbH8K
Sighing, I look at my watch and noted that it’s already my break time so I walk out from the store and stand outside, breathing in the fresh air. It’s also slightly windy and cooler and I really don’t want to go back inside anymore.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSm4BysPIT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysUyfiwzuC
Fridays never seem so dull to me right now. Usually the store gets busy with customers and orders but today seem to be an exception. The bakery looks dead and with Mallory and Jake on leave, the other two co-workers who have been working here before I did AND were part of the reason why the bakery gets so busy and going, the boss might as well close it down for today.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduHiBZDpb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyfdW2yuqO
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ833w0trgce
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNUSwuAy06
The air started to get more cooler and I really appreciate this ‘cause I needed to dry off the sweat. I thought about going home to change but I doubt Mr. Bass would even spare the thought of it. Doesn’t he care about his employees’ well beings?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2FtVLuby
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTiv3wKjZi
Not only is it very uncomfortable but it’s also unprofessional of us to work in environments like this. Sometimes I wonder why I can’t even utter something to defend myself without quaking in my shoes.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iGBCPsFH5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfgscSEjUu
Oh yeah, it’s ‘cause the money that he pays, despite the brute he is, is pretty good. And as a broke college student, I really have no choice in this matter. That, and the fact that the cakes and pies are so delicious. For real.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM3okRblfX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeUX2i3x8j
I was brought out of my trance by the sound of an open, creaking door before my boss yells at me. “Frances, what are you doing out there? Get back in here!”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1fS6NAOo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfP1XRNMun
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFaGMh06eO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjdOJKfdWg
Thankfully, the boss had to run an errand elsewhere and Jenny brought some extra clothes from our dorm. Did I mention that we’re dorm mates? No? Well, there you have it.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVpCqjBz9h
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMaC8rSJw
We tied an apron around our waist and get to work. Since Robbie, our delivery guy is out on an errand, there’s only Jenny and I in the bakery now. While Jenny is working on arranging the pies and cakes neatly in the display, I started on washing whatever’s left in the sink. Since the kitchen and the front that consists of the little oven, a cashier counter top and cake showcase are just beside each other, I could see what Jenny is doing while we converse. An hour after cleaning and tidying up the place, I swept the floors before arranging the tables and chairs properly. Jenny was halfway on telling me about her date with some guy two days ago when we had a customer.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JeckoSdpl
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U1stfir2a
A guy with tousled brown hair walk into the bakery wearing a button up flannel and skinny jeans. He looked up from his phone and I caught his gaze. My breath got hitched in my throat because it’s Kyle Samson. My crush.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT7VsdmLyT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVXVajhsW
Oh boy.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK69XeGXml
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqkSuzJlVo
Kyle was in one of my classes and I had noticed him the moment he decided to grace us with his presence in class. Remember that slow-mo scene that happens whenever you’ve caught someone that interest you and suddenly you felt like melting onto the floor? Yeah, that happened to me. But I did not, however, melted onto the floor. Or fainted at the sight of him. Jenny knows about my crush on him and as I glance to where she stood, I saw that she had a wide grin plastered on her face. I roll my eyes at her (I could feel the heat creeping up my neck already) before looking at the object of my affection.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYLV5ooCmw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHv2TQdxLq
Kyle.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAWkATonbw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO6dz8c7u5
With his soft and wavy hair, his beautiful green moss-coloured eyes, dimpled cheeks and crooked teeth. Not only is he one of the talented kids in school and captain of the archery club, but he also had the warmest smile that could melt anyone.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ch5gsOVYt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJOFfBaIwV
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1kP8ti2GH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegFl6ju5h
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhnVdorkvk
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tyJ2Pq5ZN
He knows my name. How does he knows my name? I’m pretty sure I haven’t talk to him before, much less say my name to him. Unless-805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU8nJ4lOQx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvjUv2E08M
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9igr3l9ah
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFY6OPoT1q
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjBvsgyKHK
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrOaEn5YB7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6YAmSjBBB
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X6k9drIS5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS2fzNEagc
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIO8tyGaD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWqa9nE3vT
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfexawWHR7Q
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGX2GmuZee
I’m such a loser, I know.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXId9X144c
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI4UmdQXBJ
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPGZksojYd
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxMpDHYUwf
Oh. Of course.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnxHHAxgq6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX946ZHawM
“Right, right! Okay um, you can go and choose some on the displays over there or if you want a newly bake one, then Jenny can-“805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKYsXrluoG
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMdEiCODA
I glance to where Jenny was only to find her smirking at me. “Actually, I think I have to go deliver some cake. It’s Robbie. He forgot about the other cake. Again.” She laugh before walking to the kitchen.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g681tT31F
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOmu8NqnKj
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ZKF2HFNw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0XG63ZwYE
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgDyJYjKyP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3SUgY4wst
I managed to get to her as soon as she got on her motorcycle and put my hands on the hip, giving her my best glare.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNbUZvC9jp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08PFurfOH
She rolled her eyes. “Oh please, you and I both know you can’t look menacing with that glare. Besides, I can see the way you look at him so you should totally thank me for this opportunity.” Jenny flashes me her charming grin. Then she said, “You better get in there quickly before he finds another bakery.” Jenny revved her engine and took off, but not before I heard her say above her laughter, “Not that there’s another bakery in this town anyway!”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N3v2GWU7Q
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnn3GyQHc2
I shook my head at her as she turn around a corner. Well, that part is true.
He didn’t want any newly baked cake and that’s okay because I can’t bake to save my life-all the best bakers were on leave today. Isn’t that suspicious?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRCOojibO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJNxlIWotd
“So for today we have an orange cheesecake, blueberry black forest, red velvet vanilla, ice cream fruitcake, vanilla pudding ice cream cake and coffee cheesecake. Which one do you prefer?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnletsLqsN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHjoKruNx6
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYKBbbruH9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb5ce8tQlo
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsPNxr4g2w
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKI7woR2CS
Putting his hands in his pocket, Kyle smiled that dimpled smile at me. However, he looked nervous and before I know it, I opened my mouth. But as luck have it, he opened his too.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eM24MjzBB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qNeKKHPgV
“Hey, are you-“805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorxWHHKWJ2
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2NNXj9fRX
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBwah0kMhh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xkqwgGwan
Silence.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgKh1OqXu0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmrJtD9781
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWuNn189Aw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVab5WrTo9
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ffkzZJlem
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19FHaAh7N1
I must have looked alarmed because he’s getting red faced and at the verge of a breakdown. Stuttering out the words hastily, he said to me, “No, i-it’s my birthday today and I’m having a birthday party so what I’m saying is, do you wanna come to my birthday party? I mean please come-WAIT, I MEAN YOU’RE WELCOME TO COME.” He yelled out in frustration. After realizing what he did, he became flustered and look away. “I’m sorry about the outburst.” Kyle apologized sheepishly. I nodded mindlessly as my mind contemplated what just happened.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr7SgdGaDU
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJZfOnPT4G
Okay, so he’s not asking me out. And that’s okay because he’s invited me to his party and that’s better than anything. As of now.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABX3kIoDGu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3QDgkW2KR
Kyle was about to say something and because he looked like he felt stupid and almost regretting what he said, which I’m hoping might not be the case, I beat him to it.
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWD0uJTndo
“Yes, I would love to.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX66y3GiXX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGTjSkkeN2
In that moment, I thought his smile couldn’t get any bigger as he was practically grinning from ear to ear.
After buying the cake, he left and I immediately called Jenny. Turns out, she’s just riding around the block, that little witch. I told her about what happened and we both couldn’t stop grinning as I shrieked in excitement.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBgaTbGcFS
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y1imAoQkz
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTkSNGlU6d
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlhy3M5Mf2
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOUUpxvdsr
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaxRjbsp90
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kiiv4i4wJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneEdQMKeOJ
I have a full shift tonight.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Cjoh5YKS
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOi1Et0J6r
I voiced my concerns to Jenny, panicking. “What do I do now? Here’s a chance where I get to be with the guy that I really like and now…now there’s this.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTndvlmouaY
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV0oMstk5Q
Looking over to her for help, I was quite surprised and annoyed to find her grinning and shaking her head at me like I’m the world’s biggest idiot.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN519IZmdqp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGzqymSqE
“What?” I frowned.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSSxrpFOFJ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpgAoALnqz
Putting her hands on her waist, she raised an eyebrow at me. “Do you realize that your shift is only until nine? And what time is the party anyway?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlVzMcU3G
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcENKtW5iT
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BLIIu3NM1
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7kJZi37tp
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubMzXKjSD
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD82WgC2bIX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBU1vT2XER
8:57 P.M.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctXysc4H2f
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllg3z42e8p
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkGkWhE2Lo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vT1TI7ejC
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd2iTFXFB8
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH86qV7pWc
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwI7OdyCng
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq2VX9wBVv
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI33ANiFSzi
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PTbhGypFa
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c25Ws4P1P
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FxNNTgKgh
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MgFeLK2D7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXQRPmKkz6
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4sUlrr0TB
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjVpzCYfkT
“Thank you for that and for the invite, Frances. Now, get your cute little butt out of here. You’ve got a party to attend-AND please don’t wear that hideous top we bought as a joke to each other to the party!” she slapped my bum as I got ushered out of the bakery.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucU9VgD1IP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJhEi7SOu0
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkQaytXAED
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov3xc758cm
Really.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv37AWRfGh4
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kxz1Nc3pj
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXQXF9RiT
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidTibK4y4D
She laughed. “Not a problem.” And before we parted ways, she added with a grin. “I hope the party goes well too. You know, with him.” She winked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuUUxSnPeW
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCn8IhqIb1
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcel4XYG6OG
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwuAlfLmnP
His house is huge.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uNkk7tynK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUY1FaREyi
Not like a mansion or a castle on a hill but huge as in I could hardly tell the difference whether it’s the building itself or the people milling in and out of it. Man, I knew he had so many friends and acquaintances but this is like having a party for celebrities. I thought it was going to be a normal celebration with some friends from high school or things like that but I guess that’s not happening here.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6iM3GutV0
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8cs4sLuCL
I’m starting to feel insecure now because everyone’s dressed up for the occasion and then there’s me with my tattered jeans and long sleeve striped shirt. Also, I don’t see why I should even feel like this. It’s a birthday party for music sake, not a gala or something! Perhaps I could back now and he won’t even know that I came here….but on second thought, that would be a totally shitty move considering how I said I would come. And I just love the way his smile lights up his face. He would probably be bummed.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2JsufwLEP
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnwBXjzd7G
Gah, I’m hopeless. 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq11QGbNuR2
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDVCB4rHUS
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9yLY0IeGz
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XWQmix4Z7
I must have stood in front of the house for quite sometime now because a guy looked at me weirdly. “Are you gonna come in or…?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JNQe4N9q
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh70XfL2n5
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqqAwqfJq
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEtmLkJish
It’s just a party with people having fun and my crush is inside there. No big deal, Frances. You’re going to go find him and wish him a happy birthday even though you already did earlier and it’s gonna be fine.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUrKeBQYKN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDWcziKjY
There’s people everywhere. It’s literally a room full of people grinding on the dancefloor to the upbeat hits. Flashlights beaming everywhere. People making out passionately and impatiently at each and every corner. I started to feel the traitorous blush creeping up my neck so I looked away and pushed my way through the crowd. I spotted a line of table at one corner where there’s cool drinks, snacks, sweets and a huge bowl of fruit punch. Since the music is so loud and my head is starting to throb, I took a cup and poured myself some drink before heaving a sigh.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPWDvPjARU
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68qHfnSYnt
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRfZVQX8l5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL0U0DwRNf
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQlT6195A
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJroiWcv5t
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDcv89AFmq
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUFqHT7tkt
Dressing up real nice with a long navy blue sleeve shirt that’s rolled up to his elbows and new jeans (at least I thought it looked new), I didn’t think he could look any better than he already did, not to mention he also smelled good. Was it something akin to vanilla? 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlvyT2yir6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7dJtmLx2i
Kyle also looked relieved as his eyes lights up and his smile widened. Or maybe he’s just happy because well, it is his party after all.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WDcy1Pdjg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcTycYbQNy
As if I have lost all thoughts as my mind tries to get them to work in order, the first thing I blurted out is, “Happy birthday, Kyle!” with a beaming smile.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ne6AGQ1OQ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPY9vfgY8o
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls6OjxDhoQ
Feeling a sudden heat of blood rush to my cheeks, I stutter out, “You can c-call me Frances.” I mentally slapped myself and added as an afterthought. “And thank you. You look good yourself.” I smiled.
He lean against the wall with his arms crossed, smiling that gorgeous dimpled smile of his. Kyle was about to say something when his attention shifted to another as someone called out to him.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuThEUXILYD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gI8HRvZWj
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYTrv1pv6z
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CXSZuDUmr
He nodded at that person before looking back at me, reluctant as he excused himself from me. “Uh, sorry but I need to go check what’s up. I’ll be right back.” And with one last smile, I watch as he walk towards a group of guys as they discuss something before heading upstairs.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwaqQp95m
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wZcvE6N5u
Figuring I should probably busy myself so I won’t look like a friendless person, I tried engaging some people into a conversation but that only lasted for about five minutes before they found some better things to do. So I walk away and into another room to an empty couch. The place is pretty vacant as most of the party going on is in the main living room and the room I’m now in is mostly for people who wanted some privacy with their partners or whatever.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXiUtYoH7L
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW2VW3Dmtb
Minutes turn to hours (okay, maybe not hours because I’m pretty sure it’s only been twenty minutes but it sure does felt like it) and I couldn’t sit there on the couch watching two people making out enthusiastically so I got up and decided to walk around. There’s at least four rooms, a dining room, a huge kitchen which overlooks the backyard with a swimming pool and a balcony, that I’ve counted.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZFSzUdg2m
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfqTpFITCU
So far I’ve amused myself with people’s antics especially the piss faced ones but all of that has to come to an end anyway as I was forced to realize that Kyle is nowhere to be seen. Maybe he ditched me. Maybe he forgot about me, I don’t know.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtOPnFD8uu
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR570vAodA
But what I do know is that I’m not going to sit around and wait for him to come back. I mean, yeah the party is great but I’m not and I feel like I do not belong here so what exactly am I waiting for now? With a mission set in mind, I walk towards the stairs that I last saw him at. Standing at the last top of the stairs, I noted that there’s a huge but long hallway that has rooms on almost every sides. The hallway ended with a different and spacious room around the corner. As I walk through it I thought I heard some faint music but the closer I got to the room, the louder the music became. And finally I came across it….805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jVMpKdisw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaC9FGArCd
….only to abruptly halt in my steps.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GuPBWuQnx

I had to blink my eyes several times and as I did so, I felt hot tears started to pool in my eyes. Is my eyes deceiving me? 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p8KmFHz1v

In a room full of guys and girls (I supposed this is one of those lounging space where people play video games and such), there stood Kyle who seemed to be passionately making out with one of the girls there on the couch. His lips moved slowly against hers in a sensual way as everyone cheers them on. I also spotted several bottles of beers.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbEPru3YhF
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fvlGegTZ
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgISh1n1eKK
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciJuo02M19
I know I shouldn’t harbor any jealousy towards him because he’s not even my boyfriend and he can do whatever he wants but still, it hurts because only now do I feel like an absolute fool who’ve been making a fool out of herself with foolish thoughts and notions about him. Funny how things got real so quick the moment you’re heartbroken. 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2q5Pz2Gnt
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ydIUyHW4
And I couldn’t get over the possibility that what if he had planned that encounter slash moment with his friend as he excused himself earlier because “he had to go check what’s up”. If so, that’s a great play right there. 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFYhGI8eeM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l9kaOv34O
I must have let out a loud sob because several people turn to look and were alarmed at the sight standing before them. I don’t know how I look at this moment but I’m pretty sure I would be alarmed as well. Kyle too looked over and what I saw broke my heart even more. He looked at me with such indifference that I wonder how this guy could be the same Kyle that I met earlier. I guess some people are just good at pretending.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPulz72hW7G
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ISvIcJry
Too embarrassed to even utter a word, I let out another sob before racing through the hallways….and tripped myself. As if that wasn’t enough, I had to crash into one of the doors in the hallway.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYSHIoG2xR
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPh1iI2uNZ
As soon as I landed on my rear with a thud, everything went pitch dark.
I don’t know how long I’m stuck in this dark and enclosed space that I assume is a room. All I remember was the shock of finding out about Kyle and his indifferent act before running off and falling. I tried feeling up the wall for any switch and banging on the wall but to no avail. All of these feelings and what’s happening now is too overwhelming for me as I started to panic and cry silently. I don’t know where I am and I’m pretty sure no one else does too because I just had to run and fall into this dark room. Hugging my knees to my chest, I thought of Jenny; about how her date would have gone well and she’d probably tried calling me but because I was getting ready in a haste, I forgot to bring my phone so now I’m contact-less. What time is it now? Is it three in the morning? Did anyone saw me in the hallway? Did-805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYGxRARbp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5KYEonY24
The sound of heavy footsteps shook me from my stupor as I listened to any sounds or where it’s coming from. I’m desperate for any form of help as I need to get out of here so in hopes that someone would hear me, I started screaming, banging on the anything to make sounds so that I could be heard. And before I know it, a very bright light was shone to my face. On instinctive act, I shield my eyes from the glaring light as I tried to search the face of the knight who saved me. But relief quickly turned into horror as my mind tried to process who the person standing before me was.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRgpxYrzkS
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wc22kzDpf
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcsThAP49r
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprFeKr2gV
And because of the events that happened tonight taking its toll on me, I screamed.
They looked stricken by my reaction as one tries to calm me down while the other muffle their ears and glare at me. “For goodness sake, shut her up or I will!” The carbon copy of Kyle Samson said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKTAXEDz9e
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IrTie9vCm
“What do you think I’m trying to do here, brother?” Kyle said in a tone of annoyance at the other guy. I’m not sure if that tone was directed at me but it looked like it was aimed for the carbon copy one.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHPUQr9sr8
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzUaipEouY
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz87ybrATy
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFe5dhdrmS
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdqRZX5kIM
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXSN90FPDl
Kyle nodded while Kyle look-alike narrowed his eyes with an indifference at me which, come to think of it….looks similar to the one at the lounge area earlier. The realization dawned on me now that the guy whom I thought was Kyle is actually his brother…..and by the way he’s narrowing his eyes at me like he’s beginning to piece two and two together doesn’t help either. By the glint in his eyes, I think he recognized who I am now.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhmTqKtsF9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaLT7NjscP
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllIKDkLto6
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdM0eff5ZL
Oh. My. God. Twins.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt77xKn2Nx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z6tKzVIIv
“H-hi, I’m Francesca.” I wave awkwardly, feeling like I should at least introduce myself even though I just completely humiliated myself in front of him because I mistook him for Kyle.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUTvbQPJKC
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqyzhpiBLR
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3mpeCWMjh
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgsFnFsxF
He still hasn’t stopped glancing back and forth from Kyle to me and that made the former feel a big uncomfortable as he rubbed the back of his neck. And I’m not sure if I’m imagining it but I think Kyle’s cheeks just went red a little bit.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AHx7r2kN8
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk87JNrbgq
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnGHvbWhM9
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzwjmvqJ54
I brought my gaze to them both back and forth while they’re arguing about something, scrutinizing and finding some similarity or differences that could validate it and concluded that despite the height, hair colour and physical attributes, one difference that I noticed is their eye colours. While Kyle’s had been green, his twin were blue. Heck, their outfit isn’t even the same! Kyle wore a navy blue long sleeve shirt whereas Len wore a black fitted t-shirt with some band’s name on it.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNPpGxhjAN
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ70QmcOZEh
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYEZv8G3HY
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhPwRf8uIN
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6MFa11kgH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIbLrn2zDt
The twins gave each other puzzled looks before complying-although Len seem to be quite reluctant to do so that it looked like a grimace. But as they smiled, I concluded that while Kyle has dimples on both his cheeks, Len had a dent only on his right cheek.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplZuNcXxzX
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd6iorEfDX
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz541kC9gx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzAaExYwIm
Len Samson gave his brother a disbelief look and said, “Is this chick for real?” Then looking at her, “We’re identical twins, for goodness sake! You must be pretty dumb not to put two and two together.” He smirked.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRITo75LiD
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFQiFM5Fpt
Kyle protested at his brother while I huff indignantly. “Hey! I just happened to be slow okay…pretty slow to piece things up sometimes so beat it.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I5nKfexEw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnTJJHlLPt
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” Len said as he walk away. But before that, he cast us a mischievous look. “By the way, Francesca, you could just ask around about Kyle, you know.” Then he pointedly look at his younger twin. “The poor thing. She saw me kissing and thought it was you.” And just like that, the older blue eyed twin cackled as he walk way, leaving Kyle frozen to his spot and I to deal with the disaster Len has unraveled. I was stunned and speechless as my jaw went slack.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQStTrIhKU
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Yz8mTQ6K
I hate this guy already.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGwUoTQivZ
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2DZo7YjT
So there we are, both of us standing in front each other, looking away as we ponder on how to approach this properly. I was thinking of ways to escape this awkward situation when Kyle spoke.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20DMSx8Mjd
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGmh7H3MZ
“So…you were crying.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PhOPsBRs7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCdxM4fRN
I’m afraid to speak right now ‘cause I don’t know where he’s going with this. It’s quite the moment of truth, really because he probably knows how I felt for him now and it might be a yay or a nay. Either way, I think I’m prepared by whatever he’s going to say so I just nodded.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNzXaqT4vk
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUtMmwHeS
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavdpImxDw7
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhtJwhT7qn
I nodded again.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjldivqQUdA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt28nWlTHN
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX1MLtVMFA
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iH362MRRu
“Why what?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKKqTvpQcw
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtgCVdjREe
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslP9JF6Goa
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhMHke8T1m
Oh boy. I might as well say it now. If Jenny were here, she’d probably locked me in a closet or something with the guy that I like as she guards outside, whistling jovially as we demanded to be let out. My lips twitch at that mental image.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWjSYtfbvW
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC3m5vtacY
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP92IhIcDe
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyWd51fFcr
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZQgUkw4ZC
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsgSaHQVNO
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJruMOBsIH
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBsV7ICLe
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7atARo6Ejv
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpZI5oCAZu
Kyle looked affronted. “Boring? You’re the coolest and interesting girl I’ve ever countered. Sure, you’re pretty quirky and all that but that’s what makes you who you are….Frances.” He was grinning.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZAhSuNEhg
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4Eju52zS
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07epBbR1x
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioDCO5lzhq
“Besides,” he continued. “I was looking for you too.” I didn’t realize that we were actually making our way towards the balcony until I saw that the party was actually over and there are some people that were either passed out or too drunk to care, loitering around on the mowed lawn.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JnlIc6cO
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNp9lumB4m
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiBexKA9Oi
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6xmYdm65J
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOTK3Qq8fo
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICKF6SpZT1
The atmosphere were beginning to feel pleasant and ease as we chatted about things for a while. Just then, he asked me, “What were you doing in the closet earlier?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepuqXLjF0g
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDz2gjYfio
I blinked. Ah, so that space was a closet. And remembering that incident earlier was enough to make my face turn a little red. “I-uh…I tripped and crashed into it.” But come to think of it, right after Kyle helped me up, I noticed that the door was still intact as there isn’t any damage to it.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SKk9sCHp5
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOvxbWKCqU
My face must have looked puzzled because Kyle let out a low chuckle before saying, “That was a closet and the door is spoiled. See, we’re still trying to fix one of the doors because while it has some trouble opening, it's pretty easy to get locked out. I was taking some things out earlier before the party and I completely forgot about it.” He sheepishly said.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ARQYO5em
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ8qrgdDZz
I glare at him. “So technically, you’re the one who caused me to get locked in a damn closet for who knows how long.”
He laughed but apologized. I think the sound of it melted my heart a little bit but I kept I straight face, even though my lips were about to twitch.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFPoyb8XgE
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy5YHpQQRn
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSz6t3gg9K
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR24gXqu3pK
I rolled my eyes but giggled a little. We look at each other with smiles that reached the corners of our eyes and we couldn’t look away. Tonight has definitely taken a turn that I did not expected at all but somehow, I was kinda glad it did. And because of the mistaken issues earlier, I felt bad for saying mean things, being the weird person that I am. When I mentioned and apologized, he had laughed and told me he appreciated it, that I was forgiven-in a mock seriousness that he could muster.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKdVrfXOGr
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DKFgqIdlT
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5v5rk4P93
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50xyx5dtww
I gasped. “For real?”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlvMIWFhnx
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNGzaHlRI
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqTLGMQTb
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTeLwRy44B
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzaSGw6WVp
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2GuCI7Tan
He nonchalantly said, “I don’t. I figured if you did went home, I’d just come over to the bakery next time and give you your share.”
I laughed. “How thoughtful of you.”805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgn5UXKUc
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTzxe7TUMG
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqXOpnlkvf
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ustKwcngM
Laughter starts to fade and smiles starts to dim as Kyle and I held each other’s gaze. His eyes seek my permission to proceed while mine slowly starts to drift away from uncertainty. Body languages shifted as we got closer. And closer.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCPzOuam3N
805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqqAKIz2ZS
Neither of us knew who leaned in or made the first move to kiss but we’re both aware of the change that’s about to happen between us as our lips touched. But before it did, Kyle murmured those eight words that made my heart skipped a beat as I smiled into the kiss.805Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYRoMxWJa6
