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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunKepAYEpV
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XrRYltPDe
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPgHG93Hfd
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJEnhC4pEW
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJSm92Vny
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu442sKY1t4
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AwvGcoMOF
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw85rcsxZ8
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVGVtKKI2H
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrbe6LbhWc
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkP8BNyz1o
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnITBdVRHIz
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT33d4zVRKh
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gocdzksvj
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSDO78JAgr
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUCHIpBqjR
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoA4iQRvZQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwgR0snb5P
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW354tsu1P
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizlJAwfbCw
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuRXehOXRi
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W1eAIPKfM
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?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUXs01oPX
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCuxQRRJqt
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB96vj1hqB
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2dZ02ycgm
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnjIx5hxq9
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvll6mUZMRd
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!”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcv2UDz8z6
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKBWOVgwTy
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisF4NgoG5u
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAJK9PY2b1
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48BYfD015G
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo8JdJZ3GM
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUc1PyGwvk
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwFMEAcRGg
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbqudJmdH
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAsEchpmv
Oh boy.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvmhhJVzSY
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuRqT4Lads
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNfye3sVfH
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF161L7A9GZ
Kyle.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSdy8p9r7
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB7YHE7iDp
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYo4L8aH8
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQP9YCWmp0
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8qyECB1Xt
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBaa5Mmf9w
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3XkNqnmX5
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wRXNN67iC
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-804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElntS6fca4
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaApsGBtMq
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgXH4BLdDh
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jENlTpjJH
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwjc574wS6
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0abRAtTQD8
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQRQOJOTqV
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwyiIbpnDt
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0YmipJayr
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkcMpfRMQq
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfZiMJS2wh
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8UiNR821e
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcztR35vipV
I’m such a loser, I know.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DetsAfENU
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213omoa6Cj
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVEbUiTda1
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz3X6H6JsF
Oh. Of course.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB315JR03D
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyfO8TEov8
“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-“804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIipiX1FHOO
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogjoRIn8Yl
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiCvWMkghF
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo0RtaQpCn
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtrE0OWT62
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxejcXT99bd
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP81YrRJcH
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhRuPdLunh
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFEhmB6X5
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYs04O3hzO
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!”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyZBthpUy4
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOajoBf1GLW
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?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdnswTpW2W
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCZmmH7geL
“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?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPSzN6acu7
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHldd3Hzzc
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBIUwl74AG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLC76A6wsw
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS4bBALHv5
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadq1Es9T5R
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxFbMYLtSG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiacMP7IzXJ
“Hey, are you-“804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZce9XpO6k
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GuCIbYPNd
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDnmdisDv
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcVCokmZxu
Silence.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qFnVqW3R8
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqETGZ5Gptz
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqpIqKkoKG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF4UgVudkV
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WykFpYQFC
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLRtF0ZwO
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZcHnGyHPo
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡontPmBrDDa
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTTbyyNp89
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCO5NTirI1
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.
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaGRBzQJD
“Yes, I would love to.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9IWhTce4
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh712BuulD
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZhGrlX75J
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f55tXPvtg
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIlTYKONg
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvR6midMhg
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCVonsC9zZ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡube3SeS2n1
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPYqLJ4EQo
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiz25RZ0ID
I have a full shift tonight.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2HCvaqCWC
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZ7XGAEgF
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.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZFgBsh1QG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpj1oZ8Vl
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Redxm1pW
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxM7dOhVKL
“What?” I frowned.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbKCkvOzQf
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvdNJkEiNi
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?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1bpfmUP6a
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLHi1BzOnN
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNd3uXMJlJ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mAjQSxtil
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv1dVOnM0e
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaBumFl4bR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ986tSIR8Qb
8:57 P.M.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ529DDqhIRD
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPshJsg5Kp
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ71vEdRWM
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BV3KcQ92g
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrS7XKL0w
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooQTxhjLop
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWGyhAYUF
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnsH1GyFoT
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6aPxDxQgg
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGIg2RIenD
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT3efjThlV
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtBdM7ZQXt
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbam78FOEYR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohQZwMRbBg
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OM2gCOIJY
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTGshGU5fc
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RUrkv81cD
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQH5v60aT7
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJrAQdqaDG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzCCf7zO7Y
Really.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsC67pZOY3
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGqvFH2d8D
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RxfiwVDZU
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqx5jAW6Ou
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sWCcqOPTQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2AMSBjfWr
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0a5BmDzdA
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx3ydrvty9
His house is huge.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3stTdg99AR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSl7NSuRD2
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrgcRkIx2m
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1viW2vfQV
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH1jys8szb
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGSWn6Lpzq
Gah, I’m hopeless. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvygCtTsOba
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirbNMewXpt
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9RZjIw3gQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKJtlnE78j
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…?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQl387FxTA
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewuBoXN0F
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyOQGE7qZR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY8Bh0lIai
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgUdhmmZU8
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiAmAFF7Tv
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIETzg8ydx
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGJby4K7J9
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHINln9Cjy
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvOdkv0bT3
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cbmeaQRH
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkuWTFmYF
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGExnoLuKD
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3djAg9Qz
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? 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M6nAmUygz
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzhqDCOuFP
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi0abXkeDa
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3aDEcrXK6
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC4UDODxVO
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVbXW4Y5Et
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ7mhkQT5n
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UPqYe6Mz
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HtjzoIMtY
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUKxrzJpCB
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZXuovVC03
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlSVLgBJJg
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzK912hxvn
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yhUlH9xNG
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcF4AgQj9D
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoPoZcpTnn
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5PDcrUrge
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwCvOICYbZ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FeTkdIXFE
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….804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq1wh8y8SL
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3IgssfrbQ
….only to abruptly halt in my steps.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90jz05GzCA

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? 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJcERM6msa

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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXnyFWBsDB
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF7EzvmC5C
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOufChS7v
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2GQ2SEqo8
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. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNXcSa5CPb
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMxTdFtaO
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. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8elpk13A3K
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPYudVmBbs
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bf7GHJxm
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGIZlBZwAK
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAiQ9EGn3Z
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XVDCEQshX
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-804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzye9WJFFU
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IMNA2x0Db
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9ogFaLM8Z
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oy220nYfW
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCpyHiFaFR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0MZPMT79L
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvp4KOB0Jl
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUnT7RPFLM
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPcfrlwfDY
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y1kJo2z4J
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNhItt2UmS
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZUsnlShy8
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfc4jr8dqp
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToYP89aG5X
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5PCAyPvHQ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39pvv81pui
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUHoy3YLs
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNqSOhr1Eq
Oh. My. God. Twins.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gNlSTcamh
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMIXuqtCXS
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9u5ESmrNA
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ovHhdJc4
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmHlDUy0z
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJEIrrfVoC
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8AgjbfqGq
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT2tkTfNa3
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKCMvXER0
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJmqemLM61
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoZPdh4jFs
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW9gZXVUMf
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBjSLmsLMW
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qYhRJz5Ne
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK7cl15kjU
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJCKsxGx18
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBtgMFVbKb
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySEUC3XwEv
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLCB7GzBdc
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDlgCImFWI
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weMasHROi
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBxr3VjPA
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.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rzrp3CwHy
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2m4Abb5H
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2RqN54Ez
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7t99dnsPb
I hate this guy already.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEq3iFazt
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITyPyhk9CF
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRhzKvM0v7
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zYlUNBBzm
“So…you were crying.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmc5Z10dPr
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuqVnfwbM
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmvmwlE71U
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyzJQ2V95B
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRA67eoHfT
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDV5sLLoK9
I nodded again.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9ofEjpwKJ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZtAMGuqXe
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2CcDQCwd
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolkHkdGPN2
“Why what?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC6MWRZAft
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9auOG8tcGO
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu47vxMcpjZ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2qzuws3Z
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBeyTuU2H
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JA2Z4ayXJ
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XZC4Ezq2
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡridbmO0dKL
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvemzF44I
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzLhRkbAf2
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXYEIqAQMO
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECu0FUPKVu
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWCVNrYIVO
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJvQVqEHNM
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5KUqJ2tm
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Qsv9AydN
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvh9sIaizv
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7tpYRvO9
“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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gkP5I5LJ
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GX9jnSBmy
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl45QtsQ5wM
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD9cSVxNQw
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbUtKk4b2i
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YjU0Elku0
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?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdBYrz4RXM
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD00JoB7TH
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAX6GXiuxN
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHIDn4mCVb
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraVOscr9uc
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoPDXsS8C8
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjrV2Or9gk
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsMW1SWkva
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaCstlO7Kk
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8rz5GZPal
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J8yfRlMMP
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkZmRvW8Bs
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bxyk3ItGR
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QN9t4Iwgz
I gasped. “For real?”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLvBgV7i4
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLnnW9WCfc
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3wFrMCMUw
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQkXJzqv6E
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2PUKIEMOp
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsFblRJluD
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.”804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CFIwLebIv
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7TnguEcaE
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM9lu57Xbd
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqUyfBrEag
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCsp8LOeBL
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGBmY9dDW8
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.804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGhI6z9drA
804Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37mjndUGy7
