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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3UYShApP4
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKMJqrRWPv
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzaIKEStQh
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5IExfTNEn
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscjbBDJ3ro
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9RkBnwgpZ
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SG4Q44qA
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkJX3olU8V
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNoDZr6mTL
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZiZvruYa2
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkokFirWl0
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cp2KOPQSx
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9n3HSkOs
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwI4fWUidk
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwof452OvNS
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhUSqZiYfo
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoXpBbua1A
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOmVunZq8A
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XEtMRXMO
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JJYRpKDa7
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kjs2C2Eu7
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnrE5jH8GT
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?911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM02xLJFebA
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ymas4QVZM
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTVYYfOSpD
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVjpywIHK
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHh8yfDRr
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzShIF4Hy
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!”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s6K8U8uI1
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFnikapm7x
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvabvB4sDp5
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBcgmO3CAW
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d3EkuBvv4
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3D2LomurM
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ytq10Pp91
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdls98FMJh
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt950evoDP
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8eUAKRMfa
Oh boy.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQ9ehO37u
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65eFmoXsvv
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR5rg07ELg
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK0cxFP6Mv
Kyle.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLTrTnRPBI
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj9dkPsHLf
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuep3mol0VH
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR2kQKWHBl
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHczHeIctv
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXExC7dfFm
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrXYcqBln
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRYwXRtJGa
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-911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOWwXOClG
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdrCJOwUz
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiImWEVTDYW
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC387XoKh8
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dOYrEyQzR
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFT7NWksZT
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni2yfF8OLd
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSXECCgiPF
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvaOE6A15u
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIzFB9gdtN
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq0Is1xV4L
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVmMcS4S9V
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRdG9aTf0N
I’m such a loser, I know.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qKOsTPDBG
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FEyivIbXy
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sdIJLWE9
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusI4VKipON
Oh. Of course.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51GQahZz9b
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVHkfzHLcO
“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-“911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ABw7JhuV
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucdKuVuM5
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTmbNdliuE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs80VWCkoB6
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2cd48DY0w
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9trZhU6sk
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAAgEscNiH
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4OoqtYfa
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIZkAcHxP
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTtF6Knqn9
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!”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV76qfkRaki
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwThsjJ47c
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?911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzY5UBRmy
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlTdX5jEdQ
“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?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIysxgCOhZz
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tRcRq7xHO
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1svaCivHz3
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w9GaNRBvu
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7hhoJ1Rzg
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtO2XVgjiJ
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcemnZzG8tg
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvdV8GKtVZ
“Hey, are you-“911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2rHHEHsE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNBYBNjjkp
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PV0IoeT1X
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUHPaV49rI
Silence.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdsEWnZamI
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i1zOBbdvW
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F4RgE3NPq
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3vQoz0lQ
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXZHxupUS
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrcFKrgW5y
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLoo4Fxffe
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yjPOxChlL
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQyd2f717A
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tIoTdqxWx
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.
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqyxaWoHIo
“Yes, I would love to.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WeXuiUazU
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw26rN0J8Ty
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdM3bMwtWb
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhMrWtFyEm
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOmVJp7WPK
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxkXBI116B
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUucfDgmta
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQFFjArIEO
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lu0kd2Bce
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVLpXJ2Eru
I have a full shift tonight.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQC8wCOFr
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowt9eVmqEp
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.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0KKZBdzf
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRIyf53Yp9
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jbn26LNX
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ310BYpY2az
“What?” I frowned.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS56INRQh3j
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjQdzKOL16
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?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Dw6fJfis
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxujY0ehc4F
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxuW276O6T
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzSgI1D6tJ
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFRAo4ob2S
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgGpBI4cDm
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcgXVV3Gb5
8:57 P.M.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK6XyCUVkG
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgsQa5fLKc
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGtpDHykPT
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN40VwtdB6
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLa6JmPWe
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tob7hZzj6
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCYvwjk7Ye
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhQl7BCFaO
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw7UFdq2X2
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgMx9muaiP
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xfcQXCYN7
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmjzhYEdrT
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqg9EOYpN
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7v2M3XKE
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIio70CYh1j
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BWXNX0Stx
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTMcxkYtZJ
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgwsoVnVS1
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3F7yO64xE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx5eA9eDTV
Really.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMIF9O4IJ
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSPXUG0BJe
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtlg1zDQYO
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAcyQjU7tj
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7h9sitwHd
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlziP1QICmd
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWRMbGnc8f
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWL41QP8Fl
His house is huge.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWgvEw7UW9
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VOVNHWJau
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkce2yZDqd
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhSDOJNRyC
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3bcOViMGh
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8W7jk98r
Gah, I’m hopeless. 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtLvAvl9B3
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw34nnPpBu
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCzo0D4mur
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnfg6WXHU3
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…?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfVsaxfgT
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU50SqFLq6i
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDarN5nmkyZ
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3aFvU6uxp
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcBT4demBP
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5rbN0u1SN
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGg3ApiFV
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAZKdYjE8A
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRTioX3PGE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrAmmxPvUz
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwZuMEb5ad
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp0RCPdKc7
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96bVEVFv6
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa0emPtjRY
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? 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfGct8WLRD
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X6lPXIvyX
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPfXciOTCN
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy0XkApska
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtTs7EhgJS
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavt2sO11zG
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOhoKP1dBL
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgbkjGJtHl
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI4ngfXrAl
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAPBOBgH8t
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrb2Lw5ten
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwYPtBZUi
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLf7qM1S2y
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXhF2Qhry
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgxS6yMvcr
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrQGfwHXTC
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0SQmaYS94
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVT5g0s5Xm
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcvrSQ0cO3
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….911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohd8krPxq3

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCknRj6bgdE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkdhhj9inb
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? 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh4O48KBsW
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB8upYXQg1
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgZQO6XoDG
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZVJeIKNMA
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUYoriDXfi
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAp6Ft7UVt
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. 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVDAA6MfWf
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Pv0nxuxO
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. 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGjuynBxY
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzp3gA1q1E
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDPWtzegvP
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkeW6CxEOD
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfmh7Ob9nS
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN52Au1jy6f
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-911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdphwZO6x7
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBsdzoEar
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tEogtuAq1
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmXumXfd3
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTLakmf6HY
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXIr7zr7bW
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi13DqYs73F
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGb6Jbwtyh
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02J6XeLQ1k
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeRIoOhN00
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FZjUuEhKl
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwVnZusbch
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGbKAHP3we
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFmfE7mSHv
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTvr7HX19K
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP47mUdU4n
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSTQHuMGAp
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh2JYSPk6q
Oh. My. God. Twins.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucbY3PB8l
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0kjEY4NDC
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidbVSTueLk
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuy3T0Vfrm
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tS6IhAGl1
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9iTO8AwLY
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXnjgl8wS
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jMzOIMeF
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw724xxLs0M
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTz0869EUL
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw1JZMwc4l
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJkRh9S5ei
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysvPvw0uO9
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW1Nx4qVRy
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4R0jVk1yO
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9irQJo7H
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy82mdEqL8
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJC7u8VLVq
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgzdIZEnp
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQSCHzeq1j
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SDRKY9QuN
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ltRlAtzrd
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.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHpQb34uO
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJETqGc0hir
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8DETeSr5y
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIqBWjDFbf
I hate this guy already.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs58HXChl2
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsnGzyf0P
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhNTSJ4R1
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWRKNCgPw1
“So…you were crying.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ878LEcXGcD
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxmDAJMBzd
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklx4vuWc30
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJH41iS5x
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR3fHyKeyZ
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6JNLskX8Q
I nodded again.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUCVA52w3y
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAW7zZAuU1
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS2qN1ZJuF
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZGUFIuuAx
“Why what?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmQfFNUQac
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G2Gis45sE
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXmXeiBoQT
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5cFRYHmq2
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nWPcM1rMg
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9k8SwZuSN
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrBUfbFFSE
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNa5DroJce
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMagocpNIys
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPP2PTunhB
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ8ARQDq32
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjttAqQk7d
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKEqGof9jI
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuNlFN7gV6
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIvaROz9CK
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnENlOIcBbm
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADMdJU7n8
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VIOIIqhnr
“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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0hGaeYs0
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHos74laoBm
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRFdWptHJu
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHJvNAXybg
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyylR8ZfU9
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgULByk7GuA
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?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNF0DelCwk
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLPHSJIT21
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoQK3RPT7
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGMtzUVzx
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyqyDcQGvc
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvABAHo4Ex
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKpknLw5kc
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0gyUPUmUJ
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U0L2asKuh
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjnQsJQaxb
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpe8zDxj92
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXTw6fopm7
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0v02Uz4dA
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNGobdNrfE
I gasped. “For real?”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9jb43qRks
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxEdjaNp2G
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTcnqV2Rxq
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXo6z3cCVg
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxeJPKMHxm
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mpxCN2Vtb
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.”911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4EA8g1Fh
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLIkUlFKii
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqxOdkmB5
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFrIhnk2NX
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzt576lsb4
911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79UtoJXXBo
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.911Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKReeLsuPu
