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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzLgIF9YM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYJC97Bggy
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrjEKzRUCX
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrkwDTSvE
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIaqilxwJj
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv2yQRJCcJ
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GPVKfXfp1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvlwCLqCWy
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUtzFTbJYS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeb5K9Ojmi
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjHjqBxQiz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtJLJVSjBg
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFgDIg12ds
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVsHPHUxJ4
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8AviTDTeQ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt5DT1QNXU
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyxDmlQZ6v
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYODd0UPfr
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8br88vZjz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqA3YZa0J
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPVKLayir
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sqckq0Ucc
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?962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCIyXFX0L3
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSasYuPoixv
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZH79aiCm5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIvo352Pfk
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLyfCGXC7
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeLlY3knu0
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!”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOqsPnvJCn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAHBaUwLbm
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2AA8cugGc
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7XLAvsU3J
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0G4EfpJZi
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQY26wmJAE
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiTu6uWzG1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn6DWk2Vip
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Bo8Wii0M
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwIdd2iwnB
Oh boy.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OXLBsHHlU
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzCp9jIVf
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf2RnmAkWS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfktIfqJU
Kyle.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwA65wGDe7
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo4mMGBmhf
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ672Z1yCbMJ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EPRx7PKQ
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkWNj2ae3g
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUyG2ouP7Q
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LraCnCkLT
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeDwyyliW0
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-962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVrfW5vSq
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pklTRHSJe
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzSENPARxb
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCASoJlY5
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftztxQgfzV
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAhhKz6bC0
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp1nQbwc3h
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCxnaGmxfI
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBKuC1egIk
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFNIy722Eb
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapK0E2dUKy
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SrnAdyA0K
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXTbhXAtEP
I’m such a loser, I know.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3joM4wRsM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBUPf6w2HE
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH6PK11xcb
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujYZj5FT4L
Oh. Of course.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPoKOxrHmL
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuf7rDaBsn
“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-“962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZSrbbAdiJ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdKYBckU0R
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4BOonYnwR
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjYG1xqT40
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWrPW316E
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycHEjipl4
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNLrohXDC
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncobpqUsVi
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkNJqQ7BL2
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2q8FV7nvl
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!”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTEGBoZdZ1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJE1cCLOx
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?962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKkoCsUEQh
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs826IX1j5
“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?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA7W1FCwv5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2abErkUPY
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEFtonGX27
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbSBqsfzmm
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai0yGQxEnW
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wvRGlAlnj
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWNQ6Ay548
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RTLFHpWTI
“Hey, are you-“962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxXW5MhiFX
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAftbBAiPfl
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOL7HM7ZU
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1u0XIwTXb
Silence.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpAbp1vFYC
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHypZGsgcEu
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vFQN14ok
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhrW1F97Dh
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBGZmCEAtO
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1jZPQ4fL0
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygqS95zXM1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0iXGSfmBA
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTC9mDx58M
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9TMb2HAb
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.
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoiXfgVbqJ
“Yes, I would love to.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF5z1RcG6O
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG4kfS0k21
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZu3AVLb2
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQtDDhv8z
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gnibv1BLD
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02NVdbx3K2
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNwQYYnVI
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXgOj0CBBG
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMIdEStvt
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy0Kea5hGq
I have a full shift tonight.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjs6YLkJav
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra984OLyO0
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.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82FqpTAXTv
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCuVsvkeNo
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wuUnk7Fhv
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uAMUFrIp1
“What?” I frowned.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFosLNtC6e
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uk4G9dFzz
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?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAyyTs3J0I
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecfyiYS6nW
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQCRbC3Vb
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTTfcV6Ik
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwwKSVQbS8
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnVKptfPcr
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyRq26H2Y
8:57 P.M.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaFsYMe1CF
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh54gonBzGs
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNeFQ3i7Ux
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn029cjhfJ
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgjEftRxY8
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcvzR3tSy
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNer6z2mELw
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUOTTBwu4W
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55KoW6ioZB
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdGdZrwqrX
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqWonGWz9G
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaZ1BQ6CbU
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHD3yuYffo
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2is5Sr8zG
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy3FlE0OWk
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7CyiTIDtz
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlvQljt25k
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDy7mnA819
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jtq8SZVky
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Ib3chUnD
Really.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPiNDjrnat
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKJwFEvnY
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjQogz6tY
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA2UdJVOew
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQv4JyORVZ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0VxKMEMQ3
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGyQMZD9CM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDCy7Etmj3
His house is huge.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7jU1m9v5x
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzqkjppS2N
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLdmzacGp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5uMdI3w6H
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnigzTEC7tb
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ60ooJ6d7
Gah, I’m hopeless. 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX65y7Qlai
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yu94n0R4V
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmIAs70Vgn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXCaY459DP
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…?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdbmdCmenp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXcSCdGL2W
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzcKXMCg4
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tq6inDSTF
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRDqr0RNzP
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA7ESNYkjH
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7DUYmQ6ph
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAaVgSMpJy
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi9U7eEFRz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScxnpuC3ND
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxINH8Aapgw
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuf4kylug9
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYXW42FpBB
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JPG6eTDue
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? 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87YFiin6U
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEec3EX29g4
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0i9zvU9B3
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fDyGdRcZ3
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw7JxOBmEP
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY9z2A3Ton
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQUbgTL2kp
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzFhvrbs8c
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYQjXFooXb
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRS9dsEYR
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8spDpnFX
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNw9cS8cBv
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn2Cmw0Sor
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjdrR94SxT
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiUiuHZNlS
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyodMl7YPL
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIlfVj9ZkU
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGF0a5gUe8
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBBw2vOzXP
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….962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bxXo7Kr3f

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyndsH9xQn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfzk899kG1
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? 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1sqfIYNGp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AxmNUopd1
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjTrCZ1dAv
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ZgVyKKrq
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0QxVf7IQ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04iosbWOG8
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. 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEefD3maje1
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSK8XF1q2H
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. 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCC4w10Duj
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaaDkFQvK8
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmGyXX3mwE
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79MLECzVIL
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0MLHbvfI
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxX5M9rpBw
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-962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMoAs80X8Q
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCppuc1ek9e
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQIGCThEE9
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h8YcrpIbD
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTSDRsSKvz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYydWcUPlC
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SLvhJXeYw
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0gg4D8cP
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rs3UuxkvY
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOWhdzGt2y
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN273VhTJp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9u8hF7Z5d
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAKDlSCE8
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3WtQ4TcfJ
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKwN9eLpp
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQLBkrozzB
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPJea19gR
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoS04iGPg6
Oh. My. God. Twins.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDTtQIQ4t
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbF6lzKtOf
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseGjJx5Ubl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nH5elJeEB
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQaHg8qkC5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAEnXts1Hp
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8bln2jZBq
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrAS7QfHi
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xTfhju9fn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjolfEHX1Mj
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8toPtGFU1C
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5uwEr1XjV
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjhWPjenSF
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jEzoyH3wq
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDNoN5N2kk
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSXAvOUMhu
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXTcvEBvr
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HI6VyAdQw
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBeBxD277w
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpjl6S5YL
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6yzXgs1c4
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ306QdHidJK
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.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiEf591ztS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JL01J2oy
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxQ5caFy3K
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLoq1cB57
I hate this guy already.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UPhwLfEHY
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BZ3eP5obY
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkxVpVMvTn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOXDGtJNDn
“So…you were crying.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSeB7Qvply
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgSil7J7XI
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY1SMtYXGM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUciJjIVjgb
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYY1anFsZz
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAU70guyyd
I nodded again.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV2eNJhQHT
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxk5vyWMqN
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dJWBWlPF4
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAFC909yIf
“Why what?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1tdWbMSeY
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyrTTCoguQ
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MPSaPRDD
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeASUn1rHV
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQyIISb7Jj
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrGpIq1sEa
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8hQkdzeOF
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNKMUmjyX7
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAA96nlolw
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIHMUhA99E
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4uUuec3vM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8ai0IMeY
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAjED9EFjM
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhaJAnIfgh
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ovSXgl5jV
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvchocxQp1E
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytAxHyChX
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgc88OaEJI
“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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhQjfaunMP
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZZCUdy0kK
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Pj3XqkKn
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnpEbBytbG
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYHJPOytG0
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZLgBM3IjW
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?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TLT3XTSV
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFkvmFQUag
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0NkJNDVm
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5WvA1ReIL
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz1puAAIJ5
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFP1AUn4Ti
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1zfBVRsT
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFH7prBU8Y
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3JSOnh3Tx
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyzz8ARTKi
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY96xZWG39O
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvORPCbTxLB
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeMbzW83jr
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAOVuWdLXz
I gasped. “For real?”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNzwsT7ivl
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7OJgsYwq
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSaG6Vz6BS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDfrhYNail
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRVEOlKWf
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXDAzzzO8I
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.”962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ObYspkJdS
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfly6YrFqPf
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFc07UTl2Q
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWPyge1JlE
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UucEUWUZZ
962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxIXwOYdIQ
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.962Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2n8tsmBDT
