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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSClU4taw2
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NY0Lu6I8S
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dUadLeiRf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNmitFKSp1
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡherfXpYeYg
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyvprIrMN
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mKSqK7Fwv
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOuoKAubor
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ypcswMtk1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrogDMGIr6
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaljwEaMCc8
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NjGqo0ThJ
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDyDatklh3
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqrzvA0pmb
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWEDgvmLav
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSlGfnQf6A
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCrGY4ypq0
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlMPpFnqfL
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIy1dvrowh
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv2YqHqF9Z
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaxXM4QytC
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBvH1Pybfv
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?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFnEymG1c
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08MTb89Q9y
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjl1Xw4ADf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCjkuz0zD0
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEyP4SEpK
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLz30vUyzN
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!”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ejpL8EMk
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKOVkDGAnj
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuOQp9oijX
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCmThqDgNr
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEJsQWENaj
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7aV9Upulq
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDEhyrBiKl
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ0N9Q0fHj
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAEuXKjT5z
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZScKl7oEC
Oh boy.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXxYmym98
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQG0zrsJ39
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5axoN7HP2P
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvpTep9XJm
Kyle.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ2Z4N6rbB
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwonnUB2rv1
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8O987RpG
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEbteGvPEd
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N0adit7Sa
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9G8APgZga
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4VtludHL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJrPmRLiq2
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-959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOnyGgL4dt
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTmZcOFXZW
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Nw1g5W0T
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr0UJtmZDQ
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LVY7J7vVN
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRzsnitI9T
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNLrrL6uW7
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiflMAvH2oU
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa3UBM3WUB
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyss3PTG2EI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGPFXWJK0Y
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxDMFoawia
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2duRiB3uZ
I’m such a loser, I know.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQX3MwPLLp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT291VP6vvD
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPBYCW2KEC
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8a86CNgB5
Oh. Of course.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11CmAOErpN
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXF8KDYABM
“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-“959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCdj4TllL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Vza4aQpA
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawgueKtRg
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uM182Itts
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeEfw0F68n
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapXJEGNNz
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMhVu7kvv9
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9RR39QQ23
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7uq7tAjaC
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFB0IJe9bb
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!”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hnSI82jhQ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfWQS8JVo
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?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9DHfRiXcP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Os3jiQMV
“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?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t12usBOdS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaci8dOdn7l
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hCwkiRxP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2wChxpJvD
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3SpYursh3
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr1u7FGEjp
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTukPNzOACf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zO1RFLqUE
“Hey, are you-“959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKSYLdqhD
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVHaw0lT66
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBfrFKjBQN
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIqHMUxU5u
Silence.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNag2UW9okz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iUDLvKIPJ
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8s4wPPn9C
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSBpgBfHfV
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9I9mvjzlp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qpC8c0nKu
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZIXgHOCAu
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyULo2rfoH6
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfn1KBuJ1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Zoi7YxIL
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.
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetqGTCOoA1
“Yes, I would love to.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrqFeixvF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwytZiN5Kp
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqhW7RbqJp
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeymk0Oneo
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6v5qH9HzN
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuD50jDKbz
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cWhZK83K
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnFPJBwaq3
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMztJx6ult
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z9S1GQE0R
I have a full shift tonight.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt2smB2skG
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVLHP3CNZ
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.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaqYj5Xff9
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXcNJA0Zf
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0okJPdjog
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYTBjIZxG
“What?” I frowned.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2En7y17rz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctgaDlJQv
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?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxLeNGroHq
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFiDdjkkBI
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdR0QiVzS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V6almSFfk
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddZ74JKipw
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjP8FE62lI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcIPPeJU5m
8:57 P.M.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJNc1MDbVa
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0gRlVMwya
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlqccmlDpS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRcomnsH7m
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMdAgGcqS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2lEIbpvDC
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4TuTZBkK
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2wQfVAxd7
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt8YRA1gIK
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkpqgjC7jt
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRPmBLOEr
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7GmKzdM4g
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxysQVPfmL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa8TV51Htf
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUaFEdmZyh
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntrkQGG8bZ
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeehFFYAkZ4
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg58RrmbpoN
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBXb5fxmhZ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMiXejrern
Really.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkAGeKMITR
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aM6Kh4368
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7GETeXN6
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJfdayHovD
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdXLMcNrjh
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1A3x8VbK
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6QG5wQOUe
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccve5OEmhs
His house is huge.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkesvdsH01W
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlTv38yaa
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K3xO4c0yO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpdprb3dXi
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTkcOP0sh1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7A9nlAFr
Gah, I’m hopeless. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdymQ8nC5k
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxaxF8WxQM
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ivXcwOvg7
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIwiPUTLwP
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…?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQpY6koBAr
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OxWSc2FzK
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHu3ArxKFX
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDnTrr8qoE
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK51vhUXR09
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVYYvGzS9Q
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34C8GDqrs
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8wFgEPF8P
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi8YkatpcE
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBaAL8ioM3
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8swAtGEcu
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF945Dd85f
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQItd2mVML
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Z433ic1x
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? 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC3QJeX50i
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqIEZxZS0l
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb88K5sAtXL
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvhEONYAQV
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhecEuNJFCJ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ae10O96v
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZHjkHbOQY
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F68x31pIO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4YihkghWC
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvSWF0Uvgy
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOudv4XFz4h
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OdwltrUiS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgtIgLIWfY
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTUlKSaIM
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZEJBdEs3d
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh8lhd6I2l
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiD5PrWJHm
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ClxAZMpY
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs4kWjuzEH
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….959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcRuVgK1w1

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF6lXS5dDO
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oop7Za8HJ
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? 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknKzij44h5
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrweLsXDoZb
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNItlrZoN6
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1rPV5U9K
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgAAmgCrnA
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO4xzDZx8E
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. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNoVR9kRm
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgosnWS8Q
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. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyKfyiZAxA
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k6NB6BjMM
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3s5DyVfLC
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCOSzYxQ7
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9rABaWFEz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51432HAyrj
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-959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXdSVv1gw
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPFx1Ysy6E
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKOJCpUrBW
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFbszT2jvc
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT6wgb4Puf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvNRF8AKmc
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC96hzF8eB
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLh0gbVGlM
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7GoirGRhq
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcoQi3Xy3N
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPSD6mTfio
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA39sr3H3Nd
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8SG6UxijD
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZCjIjWJqX
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4XVf7tUFU
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEFE0rChfX
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u6ScgqIu6
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNjSR0uky
Oh. My. God. Twins.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvEx1jDLRc
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCoPD3BWe
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhlROAJNxn
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KNXULPV1b
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeCkbAhTft
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpApyOvAkz
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70eOOy2ypn
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit6FT5iikC
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxygf1X8SD
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTatxqoeNz
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblLY0UFJpi
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzLzQFHkf
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VcNn1qMrB
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1rtoUiXlr
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXFwnNXlQS
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmX4WJXYc0
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtK6QD1MYk
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ugXWY3vmK
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFHL9M9gFz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntaRTg2mR
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZZYsj2Zf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvOMhJzq8e
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.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8VA51YxCU
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf35WNZCzLi
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9SejijcNi
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUepWx1r4N
I hate this guy already.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYVCuSRlM
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaKjCjWcMk
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTSvXqCM4t
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLeRBRgwM
“So…you were crying.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWrR0YAEpT
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOsXYqMSRE
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuT6tp531k
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0cJqgmWde
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZTT14fDz7
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdIEnmyAII
I nodded again.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDcjOV5Lid
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy2bl32KEu
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXOFK7U0jF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDmtdItZHn
“Why what?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kCJSDcI8y
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbiQYGSRBS
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0e76e5hpI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJkaprADMZ
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TPrX9kLn4
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvA54CA4mN
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3s5nOZ7Gf
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM84wyAkMRL
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK27n9BWVW
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFN0VFHjex
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3qK993v0o
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2rKSj9Tb
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5HgQo75C
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJaQ245Sn
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHDWJm4jy7
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSIrYQgusm
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI6Hzlj6BI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxDfmpppPo
“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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2lFUyWeZN
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetU42S6qKb
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9s0oQkFRT
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTvtcY4naL
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuepsMpQRQj
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ixeuwt6Po
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?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arwBhsPvn
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfksqBwDWF
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoY2DQudnt
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu9nfhdYZY
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLABZ07euIk
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFGszGUi1
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxANFQqwdRZ
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0VaEAfPT
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVbkpKJu1A
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SN9oeVpk
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBqkSvuwlI
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTyW1ckCXS
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB2x5trEtc
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH1XoT7ANf
I gasped. “For real?”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4xTuutbLr
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVPmQ5pSya
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AQi9B4RaF
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAduzUNqIR
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP2tR1GZVz
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf3XWmk9gv
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.”959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVXkACkOS1
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzSBUcb8sI
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5LuRrJhTP
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUdK48UG6
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoE5GN0mWH
959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLijCWfctH
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.959Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6EgG4buZJ
