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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEYS3TMchk
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMRQJJWhRS
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWshu2yT6e8
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTAGOej6zV
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwLrb0IWZ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhRHONrKfJ
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4hPt0pAMN
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB2gibIMy4
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXC0Vuv0JZ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUt54fhL8X
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYv9wDyyjD
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ55H2kkAV
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGwXt0Bx1m
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHU54I7Cyr
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqsfDdrTLO
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEFrxoJUhb
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BT0RMfmrG
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdRy9Y0Lb
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TwBxCncCz
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGXhNv2iyT
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmUWVsfNdc
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp2jg5Q31t
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?932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZQbN6Qvd
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Hwf2Jxg2
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqEcw4AnAw
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLBD4ANO7Z
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrYae7w2UB
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIFIxTbo4d
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!”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe17XZhD9D
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhNQarFHrN
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2tnePs5rP
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ww0BYpdaf
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUmIv8RKy
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF87wz0Ypn
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRMQl9cbXn
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDVafL7dl
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYoOEUoR3W
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa6570GgcB
Oh boy.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qTABP4kJ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtsVLH8af
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9gV1fVfbT
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1uD284GL
Kyle.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRYIXkDW8v
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdAOmkmSFd
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gn80K7WEe
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoFMjonK53
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBapMDdA1I
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PqV6FFzUe
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2vHTCyo6s
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmvDRMqY4X
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-932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YxmbY18a
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUif5t2Li2r
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2kwdHxUnr
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLQ8IuVku5
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSL9AiWZdB
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJhyb70Raw
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7y8aVuE7w
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyUyFd3jRP
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnG9TXjoq5
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0O6yJSvMZ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACK23DMibz
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLSxNb4lCj
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMijapmNgKu
I’m such a loser, I know.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAczwVgZVSV
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn01GZNQUn
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAQYwfFpWZ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelHgFUNNH0
Oh. Of course.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGf0eHkU5R
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKPdfnqU7i
“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-“932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvBp4yVxXm
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszd7iGOIsk
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbA7ZEgwZt
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9bSDtdUsa
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22KK14tO4J
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHgXhopoOs
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2G6u5zpmt
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsFv8RfTFG
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoW1y9l18Y
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gVIfgkXax
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!”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdkxpRC0uJ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9aDvATMz9
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?932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYKfGocxm4
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNue5dvE6WM
“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?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7mxagA66d
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1RhzzJrXo
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HztLsYbnB
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4kRGbjCgp
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTkcrNSSpL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5IlE7havZ
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibR91BvciW
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl0Vw4j9d3
“Hey, are you-“932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONUPclgTkL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbEImhvFP2
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsbMGgSuXH
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlly2cSHra
Silence.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfQGqjI8I
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoBI4eGWfB
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCrcjC4k1
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB0wwYLLrN
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EoJ6MribF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit0VfzhfGh
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6CQvNWMp
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2afqH52inA
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxunQjDR09K
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKABUzsN86s
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.
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5ByKcZo0
“Yes, I would love to.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeT5wVaYej
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEodGEbVoyF
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk8REP928y
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnrgMPK06w
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCzfKBXY9k
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BFHuuWzE5
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrupST93oX9
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj33V392yb8
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79rkyFyJL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oyQInXMXf
I have a full shift tonight.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVCmgl8V5C
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX4VUSzfCE
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.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OKA86Ieba
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJZZvfFAlv
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzfQKLUG4
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzTSwQwG58
“What?” I frowned.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RECt7wRJy
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZND3Qf9p
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?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikYY4AemI8
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgF08IMbsd
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwOuMxS1Ce
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVGgNiZ4MB
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemVBkXaI8F
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY4Sg18sdT
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Cnui4qj6
8:57 P.M.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WDu0rB3n4
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZcjukIkIT
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqm2rv4vxn
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UubCkxes1
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXMvzJNQc
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt3JAPxymZ
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY9E4uOp1E
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ0tMUXb6T
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWBXMJMA1w
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIHCkkac0q
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtnAeIDLKI
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV81Yef3d0g
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVlD2xJpwg
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqd5fvGeho
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7qJGLlZBo
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMvogqqc8c
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhnB5XOGxr
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmdZq7vA2y
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWz26ApjXU
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOfYaUVeNW
Really.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInAMxrQl9e
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ln6OGH9Kk
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYeiEH6Bze
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrj4I9ujgN
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANcALDt0GI
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzESz0mX9wN
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5a0F6Xk7i
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp8G2uydqk
His house is huge.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWILjPZDZa
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWehuQLtaU
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIjtWCpvhd
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUoo7ZtDOw
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiWoBXWlzK
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ092ZcyGj
Gah, I’m hopeless. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw6anx8uOG
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JbtuZX2i1
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5tIjuCSG4
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxNH5WYQoh
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…?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqTXRlkRJA
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VcVEyO4an
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JacUhpKy
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYy2M4qf6
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXcp6JTZrT
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FWot2hRx
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMuEM1LB5x
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFoznOBMY8
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r4waAgXWt
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5kohdI0s8
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEp7HekmYr
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEE85VFrtd
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DOHGmWS7Z
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooY0PbjEIv
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? 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeWJdRepAi
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3lPUbGxmi
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxltsyFTl2
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyudN4LBGm1
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzAGj01rzs
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9nltUqyAb
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXM0GVwEPO
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYj1spjyjp
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhYfC3s8El
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR2d6qdeqF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf6luyywqB
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihdTbAXknG
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveBaVnDzFx
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsQDzAgPWz
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs990prFm4
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltsPDDwgYW
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvp4mkfUUb
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanUYgY0LnF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilkXV3V4x9
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….932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW1ygFZCgg

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK8i5D4q8d
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm2kXunDKJ
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? 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb9012imn1
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0zNVh5eJ
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62j6aQUlwd
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4M4ABlLU
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitqf8WD27f
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SwAZZwuQ
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. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGivFXQudF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFfWcVhxWz
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. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdu2Memh1d
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgxLiEGtjX
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVCmoPEytT
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgDxIdXFw
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09aTy5x03
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AuEDg3xke
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-932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqgxZltub7
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZduxhE7b
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxf25vzaxm
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRu83kSne
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFKeNe4pu
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtodk8JGK6
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9G8ioO7km
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IF63oLLLy
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzez258eN
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUliUZSKQ3K
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgcChQLmoW
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74QSV6UQW
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxzSG6dgOb
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjYpe5jSUU
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwKbWjX7ON
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuCCi3lty5
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMqAQ2M9pK
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCEVMkthbi
Oh. My. God. Twins.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eQiqEudTL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFw9SPu5Gh
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcDxUyRHoL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEEPHFH2Yv
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG31IBzKijx
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LPe5192zd
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfovNpoG1I
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmMVarDqNL
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHM6qXMNsL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgtz4jWjm
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcoCnA2k0y
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuWnhXgcS
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y7BHnES5p
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fMhugxSvi
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpeBUA57xC
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPVlwgmP95
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx05uRXrO1
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh3VYJWya5
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCeeDW9kam
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtODGGezGI
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyVTNvMhpj
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf5qxCRgnZ
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.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbj3rYeKSh
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKtSJsV4t
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JpoFyKvY7
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaGYWozBBJ
I hate this guy already.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGrORadscX
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDLRYzqjkI
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjg6jUThjf
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xHKgss0V
“So…you were crying.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ7y4vYSNF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfdpr55z0q
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AcQYMJ9kN
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdGBKs1m9i
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRMwzxsuSF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ts39SPCsm
I nodded again.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4TKa3QURj
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaM52P5nuq
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB6qnJrCUO
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOLxIWipN
“Why what?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYAi6KbKu6
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNoIvfSAz7
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzRjQhNB6d
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhleChzOW
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZzSXih4HG
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1BnoFQBdU
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvkLXfAePF
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEHulJKC2S
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dNknj14mM
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EoQ0sF1eI
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ018DWTHbXQ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF0RCPQKHc
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDrS43ZkfK
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbUjWbAoe2
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmn9TsMHh
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoQivnouNW
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg8MkhwJpN
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrJ5Y47WG8
“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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvD7ELYw0m
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7izZQ0lQ
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzjGBluzZJ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkYqnE5y2n
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTlDtGckp7
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISskukXdPS
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?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWlcLtPNQ
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjpkhel50y
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdmuohOaQu
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr6zgYynl9
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB9wvg3KBL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HO3EWYFU7
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VbVT16l6p
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3oEOdLUq3
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVm37IkFL
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz4bLlXoNo
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXGQNt6Lv6
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78wyxqai1
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkuUKoZCf8
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCDaSBgybY
I gasped. “For real?”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXkss7tcFs
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhxuGTXj4t
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThqt1rII62
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJ62kx9Yh
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvtQV6OtBD
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJdVdtvOfD
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.”932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZi1yrMEBc
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz1SdkBn39
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqibacpgjK
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgzvKfdec
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5dE2GGPB
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyjPPphS0t
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpi7zigJ5l
932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirbLYkdqac
