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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrrbXNZ2yw
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6BvwRyIUS
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNysAdcPlr
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZhFwE86z
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJqSxXiD6a
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3bG25v380
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcDpHqcvgX
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZwKdOM3jP
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8aWEVHYjN
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyehxmjbTfu
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccgUxIxMh
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3VfRKKZhm
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODMWaI2HSj
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxq2I4XeQW
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC0ea731lc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkMmOI4iqf
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwevFBkh5
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT72CSbZhy3
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYQYn77gWS
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbesOWdX9
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFm0tHpvaz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ255g035mtb
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?931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAS7sPATd4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwsbBO0FVY
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIZtb3exQq
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHqyxkikWQ
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSoJBOTy6H
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBcHlAjIi
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!”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5PpwwcSDP
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFVAbU61kI
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEAdSkEg2i
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfRt24j3nA
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvPJOHdMxn
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJRi6hDZ4o
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPAUPVTpFH
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMQctc4HnO
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLAx67HrTF
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOJviWU5TR
Oh boy.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Okrc4atP
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQmFvCwOX
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2p46tMK67
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD59sX8ODU
Kyle.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuM1xlgn4N
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTvYGRPBAt
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGURWSmXj
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinZ9PTk0Zt
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsXCAb10Yu
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyeMENRt6L
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IgYeg6eH0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ylUpe6Mj
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-931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO21VyssLg
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBmOcyMyBq
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx5HwrOXqE
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfDtDTSVw
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXyv8GDu3w
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc2o3kAGW1
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuFsqjeIro
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u4d4TiKKv
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9sc20w6mX
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sga2kUVEX
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAl4thOAS
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwJWVJ8Gq
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0dGUOs3Yu
I’m such a loser, I know.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk1uo5fis4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXvtQQKpff
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDKGpkDCT7
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpujLM24a0q
Oh. Of course.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqabHoBQhm9
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3TfrfOoud
“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-“931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOaaI9CcRC
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5tdP06f5b
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoy6HVafux
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBlYR4fiI
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6c3udp3qE
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQptksqC3nM
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gqjfS9ZW2
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3scc5GiCw
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO5T6GQylq
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqlnEatGjU
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!”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgRmN34f4e
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2606pg0fU
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?931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfkkPBd74n
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXKyTLR6y
“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?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI38P8Nt34
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2HmSZcmtX
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvhROLoj9B
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RyhBsFiY0
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpI0HgzuOa
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsetYgZjqk
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJxJLzlst
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOXzjQsfKk
“Hey, are you-“931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4haJXLaXz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DPt6CoRAy
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBsP0hjNgk
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSq8tpqYkR
Silence.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1358NSM71
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsI8leGRnP
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDvmPIAwVd
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDQDUVkm2
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtRCyrb1Bc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93hzXTdIY9
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrLEbL5R93
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiFs5DNZMn
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvEuuw966l
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPDu63zJnM
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.
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseHyy9eQF6
“Yes, I would love to.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgODPeGb1S0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mxSTjEEn2
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1cbxZu6qp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTmZlJ4nqy
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVCtrbu5JP
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nE2FXiMt
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyhH66N6Oz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns0NnnblCy
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcggkzRLBD
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Eqld1Bsd
I have a full shift tonight.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGs25BJ69
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvEV5hruVH
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.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMjRcPiqXW
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEzdwWLboh
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGrOxj8vSW
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwEzPfLZj
“What?” I frowned.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqTalbRLOg
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIJvHNHqOX
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?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJW6nYkbUk
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxITgHUPSQg
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGDyZ9exdO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2bjU7mgFM
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4eqfZigW4
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyX9fFA3D
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BN6QkkfyN
8:57 P.M.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQd0K1eD1
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLUIOaSwfW
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYPt1sJ4b0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxeXEHJJA3
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp84LqX64Q2
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZyiI62bTa
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0qjxwaYX0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaLU3MtJA7
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEPnQCijp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAuHPgkO1
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEPNdTDkG
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZZipaKQUm
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVgywSQAI
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBMeW1Kihs
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNSwyqzYmN
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNTxUFwPkM
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYly9kOBTnM
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57JdGqVGh
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyouSe8Nbp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa9WH5wHPl
Really.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGDDH2DRq8
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOrgDuM0CF
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBNX5xNHJE
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzejUfpRBTY
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9xfCGmBVv
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6IQmXqZ4K
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HbzyJ2jUk
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZXIu4QPu
His house is huge.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qeLXMm3ad
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZvGHmVtlD
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JM3ENXoE4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUVEbuZc2j
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnjB01x1AN
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolkSNkt9hc
Gah, I’m hopeless. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxSkQiShVd
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7cLLnx43S
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXwiFHPF0k
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDktzqcoNC5
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…?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRsNgnY0iz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWtkt59lVX
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzkRTPDT35
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxTAni6T5
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3XZjnpvVZ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5E36F62ju
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeeK0ZGK89
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyUr19uRt6
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUic0a4JPNh
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaytZ3G4t5
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFaq75XlRZ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3b1FkL6gz
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBWBKSpSIc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6V7gBg6r6
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? 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkczskOpa5N
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVdcSdWYzG
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpj2Si6IrV
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM8SdZB2e3
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyit4sQlc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCY4vfwLrI
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcrEzgxF35
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1C0FvBOMx
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUakeAIotPl
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MHrNANhH
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmpswqJjbz
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA6iRf4FGz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd1V8eIrrP
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3599QEoAhZ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO3iBKEHH9
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltziTaLAtl
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEwXfSzePq
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSa1Cyz8zc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWV8WyItQN
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….931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSJKeC0JxP
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQvqdsRGo6

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? 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXu9RhNoit

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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uaVhwItZS
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4V8zSaEV
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnpOR56FM0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3QTJfsLYS
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7uEz5gnBF
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6i9p7WKK
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0Te2jwwc
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBgF12MWY4
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4cJMJuDBJ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMH675n4Lf
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaL5ic9hGr
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrgcNLzwKW
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-931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPveLTvbDD
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lmmy7cDvc
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnXejkw0yp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU86CAOAyoi
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq942rMEj6
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0m9eRvWYF
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv1cwNfiqO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxL1qtRMJL
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciT1dKffPZ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9kGNzKNLD
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti3KDQBNK3
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5HaIzoMBl
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpVQJxADAB
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBxeK4xSBF
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QW0SKIbaC
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00odDbHRV1
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvISlYmoan
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6etna41J
Oh. My. God. Twins.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSdeQJ1ttQ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m4lA1Pgwo
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvolPlJHYYh
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6uLgtWZzV
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6eOqUp26
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bfenYRRDM
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoEsqtNEEq
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyimn8ZChW
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ioGKLAMT
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ0mcS1c69
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZlS2AiAgb
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3QqXoPFF
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLra5EF0oK6
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3EpTVX1SZ
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdnJzqRZFh
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu83qzQMjq
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXEfAWaGt4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLtyBKFTxT
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3nuvDfKdX
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ddpulELt
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwKwiCxZFW
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh34XDAY8u
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.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD27RlXXpu
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimIfrgw1JH
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6iyNAok4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11EAPG4EDY
I hate this guy already.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXEhdlkQy1
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LfCl6LqgH
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfDSUmrK53
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgPNtYREah
“So…you were crying.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vJm1yRSi
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXdQfM0t83
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2DK0IUfw2
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSvXyCOFSV
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa01wYsaCS
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbukSXe9vnX
I nodded again.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyE5XhFHQ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ0mZ35WcQ
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWaSAZJVAD
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFYkq3EOSW
“Why what?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh5rLUcSCZ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbnLySPUeM
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZiKTfxO4F
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡity7sjJxRE
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHbVoRuhxM
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlodJ4AkJH
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZUYxTDhBo
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOodQxguA2
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVu2g3eAxJ
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ccyQQ5dez
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC1HcGAZXh
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5lhCgZ52p
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z2ho6AlML
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkymApQ86
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM8Nhx3MKF
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pYiNjAuHh
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy168qUYgl4
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRQtjpuTbY
“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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9z7f7ILcy
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEDdyST6MP
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0rwq0zKcp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WJw96WYGH
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshrcEptMj
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn5cZZ3mi8
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?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxfRljEvuT
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUp0OY2FoH
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXPq1tqGX
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfuSQ5kfkO
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANbvYoBTy
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx6eXip2XU
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr1dG6dtEa
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1cqoamkZn
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb6oEw3wap
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5059tEFJc
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQVhbaMxSk
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWHaWk5Uwv
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCnLjCxep9
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaOCr3baPN
I gasped. “For real?”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1u1zIAywO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qj7DxqW4c
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwNOPRjel
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1k39uBQIM
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooB5IevDJ0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZ5VsWDpi
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.”931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlDkS8VLPK
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCniDd7ommC
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5wUcZh8S
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCyYBqEfsf
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMziP8vdpHB
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSzNYngtou
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.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dLjV6TeLK
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblu29ex46h
