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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHvyYVGhCR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LyPkg1s8y
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd79hFhnSw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ySdZl57q3
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXuNTk5QYU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYmoQVlmB1
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8IOUyfKEr
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCYZiS7oIl
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV1kv8ozjZ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D1qcgknUH
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s283m1mU0
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocLCzHPcID
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMDR2g4Ch
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBBFeZUmDK
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrkZtIoU9
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5B8WSAyZd
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz9Kh1AiJr
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFTF81HUft
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNWBNuzhjd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEHb7XJ84m
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCfh5cd5fG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xwxUwERTs
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?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxiI7SmPhe
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsLrhGjrUT
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg7fHy9gAx
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwltvqPQ5O8
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40C0ccQ088
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1U3OhM23E
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!”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKloi1ApgBU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdUsp7Zn5M
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTmkHzRrYJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6y6R72ROV
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvw4uuIAnF
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCNfJXyiL2
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjceYnxrl7
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsY2UchvTd
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyM1syPj8z
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjlLvaBz0H
Oh boy.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeNS2Q6Xry
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiCViUoNrI
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZwyf3PUR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBidi1Bwr9c
Kyle.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ5Q45iOkT
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm38SITARL
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPxIw41V7q
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalS2YEeAui
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAASmLd0re
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZ4X05Umu
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokShC8bUXs
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78fKa2aydr
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-912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1IqATNXP
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapfPjZevtp
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIRXlRttin
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUvPZYSiVr
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JKC0KY5Dn
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2B9t80ju6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58q2Af8WyB
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChESB886N
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6WL0zPXh0
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UDmBw2ilf
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrS7IC5KXF
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4yyAMoTh5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAB0Xcse2A
I’m such a loser, I know.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzegObhSuYX
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6NxzJW2Ct
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHpyp1Mmxa
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG3N7Ts906
Oh. Of course.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mOWLqhSQw
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChHjTqMV4x
“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-“912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ByPJflIu
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLrnkhLQTh
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMilSwomXei
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurxrVFlSmK
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukhoiJCWSY
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeLLbQYSS1
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1zWLG7zRA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f59JjgQPo
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfvOWqTqM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpatbjzzqEo
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!”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVe2QPQDuv
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKFJDe92Uc
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?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfeeRctZlV
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAan0SuZGK
“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?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLicvUc5bJ0
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APL22wRey
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHOmbV4SzC
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWEoBlPcfQ
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhs6Ug3MQU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzFFpNEIz3
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAzFQoiVs2
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT5Gk08ZUU
“Hey, are you-“912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU8tP8tW0x
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqP8syvKK
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqWfmLLlv1
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS9T0BpBBp
Silence.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Wxzx7CGF
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCXuIMhNPJ
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys55CHt1n7
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yQ1qRjEic
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtFg7tQBzO
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfjIRdc1PP
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXceddRaBJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUYdPH0dGs
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNageOyf7sy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64uXleys06
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.
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVMNI0cwKM
“Yes, I would love to.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2xzpsH1k
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSSw8KxwcV
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr9eIULMeE
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90hWgpq7c
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKrTorK9rq
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUBv2BJXoX
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaDLPuP491
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEhDADlKto
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9rYbyKTA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCIFF2qg9
I have a full shift tonight.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TKmrHU07v
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6gs4rVLMi
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.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hM2KAaTc3
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw3ckNc3nQ
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxObh9eTOCA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLV0qIZQ93
“What?” I frowned.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7fxfkydQ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kGI6rN13u
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?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSSJa1e1Ug
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQADy1XZD
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09DXddw6r
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0m411yFia
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPxEjVuQb6
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvT8Q9Cb12
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xR1xoXx7u
8:57 P.M.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qfFdAl7D5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAKhW8bJhP
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk4WEuGMBH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJsz3eeXeC
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg5DDoS1fJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi9xOPuhNj
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPKhHo2EK
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxCbTavkdO
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fqMXcL98e
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuLiMmfFQJ
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7FCq4mOfA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYnqvwhjy1
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdLEHIXEk
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsa0C1oVO
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0trkhEk1H
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZ4d4pKZF
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VenyduFkB
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxYveuVyL
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYrgMcM6vn
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMZO7dMVQJ
Really.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UBE6mYkg
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5diqrUsAuL
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLlNySHl2r
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNlgkANytb
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uJ12toGWQ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd1aH0uUkR
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQApGFFVP1f
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKWFyskykD
His house is huge.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw4kcHrMsa
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZseHaSOuC
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP4R5d1lwy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKewSBYqjR
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1QCcdOhvL
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaAHfdIkCt
Gah, I’m hopeless. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeWfloxqoD
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLAUYNXpnV
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVvNdhIjdx
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hf0e1xauj
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…?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4pB7Ef7Tm
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSvzp34VI
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyGldosY2N
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk585MGSk3j
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXMux0OcA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ye50W03b
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUgAC1O8iI
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI7dNeDWcQ
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL5JzJus9u
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPKazhmwT3
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe431fN9kHS
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6cXsEWmHi
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg20oSC48An
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvnTGeKXPH
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? 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9AdxiBU5c
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL1whjr4XV
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMsjlsIv3E
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEI2JPhOmN
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZd75E7Q7
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnxA1JYVyE
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO2OZpr9Z7
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHD7i31QFy
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksW6DJJlHB
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6BLZjBYD8
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTpgRcXLGw
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Yv1AgZ4H
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3mwykhzGP
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZiIP8cd5M
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAO0Cyq01O
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzSL1iFaWJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XVVMFzQLf
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfepUM1yrfb
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ZUFm1txw
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….912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfuSt4tHHB

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyCsD6qjUi
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFooVkqyYI
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? 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TNBA7DtVz
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPqCuopjId
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC9f8nJHd5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurO7hn48I6
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfFTH5aaCs
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblpSU5Hi31
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. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cQCFhZU2b
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mx3yL8bDJ
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. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8MblGxZpL
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpNV0T4QBF
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXh8fxtMzP
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbeYPWvCpC
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8YZjjfWmL
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUDhYzCFq7
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-912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcA9EVgxSM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRNh1vZfZo
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JBGkdveh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEBiSy4cK0
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf6JST9c8C
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrMHFYBTh
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBmrkpNdh1
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnNOFWe0Wa
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kKa1vuXG
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPd4rX77xw
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8JuSakObN
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZLTLQzfc5
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xdy6aF9yH
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aB83kqRG
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9KyPoMIO
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4NjR2HAo
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxQ7lY8bqB
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfm4Cevbaw
Oh. My. God. Twins.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQSz10HqRY
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEd4dEUNT
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0VesJCKSh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnbCHEVjE3
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAt6gpbCIq
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62HHEuP20
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvVO7rl04s
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlY5vaMP0E
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdDcSQiwIf
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdV9xXyx3
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrWWXSeoP5
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IgSujZEMS
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsowlO5tbhh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFskQDkdOWb
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyKs3MX47e
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYAnfVu5OH
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWLwF6OQ3
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOcsJ1EUM1
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQ7H1T4EE
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pxnt3Sq8v
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0Og9Boij
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc50d36aU2Z
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.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkmMEXY8pn
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSukWMwjvev
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfWylawZo
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2KHJYYFL
I hate this guy already.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9TNMBeNsM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxucD7cBzyY
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U9AAM3RxL
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTSWuSgm7O
“So…you were crying.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRml7iUrDDq
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjDmwy3iVE
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmTvgMWzRh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYXr9vKgk
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbAwqhzuAJ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrtLhtzJfn
I nodded again.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy8ykPtfCh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2fXTFzyL8
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvcLQKHtht
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeFzV4cW5V
“Why what?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzh7Xd6E3a
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMPG3Ldqjy
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOKeZPUIJU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q0VWTsqrV
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLiEltfoHW
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9KJWkjBqv
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNBhhry3qh
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECZus5BShw
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlXXeO3h1f
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLh2NLfuCr
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiV55jTUhj
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpAn3XD2Sj
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIEfvjmxXt
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQOGPi4KxJ
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpuVbTOgB6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgIXaC9m05
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5e5Huk7WM
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkwtsDlXBW
“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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWueFFDgTeR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSRIOFOQIq
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsEJAnCkLA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVENVnOSOK
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXCmuGwFPf
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBNeUcNRpj
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?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnirnd5ijwx
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpyGjYHNEK
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0MpJp5ysQ
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k6zt3lxvp
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t77lcVLEt
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK85nHR5C7
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBhiMlzvRK
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkHbG6xUqD
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJG1HmDlbU
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2mQIVJFEc
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF75E6U3BGR
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0OLwGndLG
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrlryUIvzc
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Srj4hnegw
I gasped. “For real?”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQ8gaMau6
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqMFpLkY8P
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEzqnXWgK4
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8mtHZalI1
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXyVmB4ahd
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjH87wMTfD
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.”912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupe4EP9Po
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp1P7EJAnQ
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VSicyfY61
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjwkUDR8B4
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHgC1Z3JW
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf779ehjJvr
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEEfZy2QqE
