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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy632nyMK2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3saLOeQPP
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5r94GfMj
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalKWywSHB
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zEh4CzxaB
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlYc0kluER
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpLZBFkApG
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1C5dzfAFS
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUYm17uhDq
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgDHR6M2E
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQsnkD1if
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLBpkOJtKx
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv8OHL17AO
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lAhSANSJ8
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yy7H1AbDz
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMubxwYZ0su
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1lvhRSuPy
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSJQjasSVm
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5YR169rLv
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJSWwzFdeD
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73YOYaHio3
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPctnLjQ4Vv
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?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxGCNXC0ic
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rmBTeEkg
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9cI4bQq0
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAXG8Ghwg
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoVXBiUSms
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvixe3GjUAJ
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!”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOixxhyaNbr
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOHIt6v4qp
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Fh2hmzN8
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAu3erbly
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VrxIfMCRk
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNQDWJeqvE
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Qc6aMVJS
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHpckobuZ
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNFBaiVc2T
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3japhnMi
Oh boy.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJtU80Obld
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjIePqzD2Z
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQdlWPfe6I
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPga9tb4Zfm
Kyle.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgoIWdAnDN
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxnZHovnok
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9oRypjph
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6K1J1DaSB
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuGUCjWEdW
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JcYGMPPfB
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ni0c859bB
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkJYJtSHAB
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-913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q5U1wSgxa
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01X3nITZXJ
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MNIxkawt4
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4mDaajJV
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mmsUWu0YM
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVHbH9w5ZV
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGFLBDw18L
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiFvfGHKia
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99Nwkqf6B
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7xlyMlO2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU8VCuQcie
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84pRrndYj
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfE9Ppd6HQ
I’m such a loser, I know.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYzzV2qyQb
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgR3xdQM9e
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnv9trqliz
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2HuogEUVe
Oh. Of course.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIedzNcA6IU
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDjGPRsBca
“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-“913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSO4evwW14
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyS1I26DUL
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BrgQKj4jC
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rFAlyi3qu
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3rXmhoXDs
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX2foi9sOS
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0eedSLWBl
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytp2NsyMLc
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjsoJyOY2Y
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVv2e1CnDS
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!”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN8vfQbbix
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBnkwZlQ7T
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?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneykNlyq3V
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GCIiCNtd
“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?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesBsYdF6E7
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLwPdhyyTX
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiqMBnXNWW
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGlR4O7MGw
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSdGnFnyaY
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuyMKVHBaR
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CWNBUn76n
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZB25T1VW
“Hey, are you-“913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsLB1q5ls
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMU96Xxsyj
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMnbN0M7p
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed4VX0q6Ad
Silence.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZb1l49mGn
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCrtiYotCQ
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERY4tEkMu8
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvslJd5h0AL
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2jmy514Q
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHEb9i6wE
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQNObsMysw
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3CnqYVS8t
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjPnAy5ZeQ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj71HTdgE0
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.
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡForUpKft1I
“Yes, I would love to.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PW1FtX5iC
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACD3wEvsIp
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXO9FvU5vY
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6MnKLG8ZE
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwLz11epd5
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6M5rAGzh8
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYLzogQFkj
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEdpt6jYoH
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5TzJ7FBb0
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nXT5j4hkQ
I have a full shift tonight.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQGblVUIRr
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlRdQon0Cx
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.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQpz9Cu3K
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EdI3PL6Pa
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngmYFMVMbO
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAKcXgLYn
“What?” I frowned.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4pAumUqwr
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEny6EMzC1T
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?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7X3yNFqYI
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHh2pBJyXx
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGi3nO7wtI
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7PyHMlOEZ
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnP5wHPgck
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Le1LBJHt
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4sV0v0wXn
8:57 P.M.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsfPtdnBmC
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh324O2iBS0
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsxbEQ6Tfw
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qu0kTLGXo
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLNKrHTBQ2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgnnLista8
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmM0gWBjYB
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA8KEuowSD
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jf2ZbrrZd
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlafOmdAxNx
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMxaqQZEq
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nn3jRvC3I
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9dporfXDD
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdTZje44NB
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhkRKgqS8Q
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe8X9PEiGO
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LoKkLPHR
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94BiqJT6rq
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIt9rnGqCp
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHwT4Zygwm
Really.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVf0SYWL62
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyWj33dH0J
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiByip2juf9
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLXE8hzJy
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqhaXWk9ME
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaPIlCfEXB
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXJ6AIUNC
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubo0THjKX
His house is huge.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOtWo9pUL3
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4VgIVM3Qc
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfa98kEchk
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgWLUWVqQ
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRbDtsdxTJ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvwTXTqad
Gah, I’m hopeless. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjC3XCjIcM
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsECs1A5c7
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMkJwEK6ul
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepXWrC2YA8
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…?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0cq3P6cIA
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE1cqGJD9M
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDuckYwIse
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzTfz4YT1Q
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ghUDHuhm
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxc2zANR22
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NFgVUNJH
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2GO6OB9fC
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjXywsxa2F
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOvomiW3l6
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIJ2Wj1kiY
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkoAAafLJ8
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNdpA6Hmd8
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6f2OZxXPs
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? 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHJS5DspZ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9w7hQ8ILY
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqVDFyyOim
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjUKdKNdoV
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTDEwcSQap
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQat4hysH
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsqpS95G3
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS27yND52w
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK29b1UiUpP
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2AtmE60a
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao5UJ9lcpR
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWu7VBMo2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9vtGWnfjD
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDA1yS7PeW
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAafCnj57E
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uxZVxovKx
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6a9X2v4DE
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1ZpDhWSb
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxyoriLmnB
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….913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQlRAb3TQa

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f0IcgFGsn
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1C1sh5ASZ
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? 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZngvNtyK
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjpZRV4dAT
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLzO1sAs7
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCadTtGDny
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFKzRjwWIx
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPgkhEtHBF
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. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFVsaerG2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Pzc9CeLk
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. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLORZEzKMAi
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJZsoxWWzL
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaSpyy28A
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZdoUxDla
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWSXc50ob9
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWBpnuZFfr
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-913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUkrR7HVvJ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPtz5DyheE
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRh6ARNUYR
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmk7mKkhWp
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLPUGcEV2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnApE61aXTm
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3whvqtfVB
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k1KMPeNgD
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVPHZF822Y
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNAyTitZz
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7jYvzkwYF
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93LFt9nxLB
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0k524pu07
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq0rpt8521
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAur3isBE2K
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6cDu1hI6F
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86J40VtP5
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyoMmVNJt
Oh. My. God. Twins.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMshKq9B2L
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKca42uqps
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSkBLRRyoz
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3wzc2DAl5
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9HtGLMuc7
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjIe7PPG3M
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVwNynir6E
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBdfDfu6ti
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdRdEs9oGv
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxErE2x1ulr
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uI2uJjIyQ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpKmopBnDc
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7OLtHEhBf
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDzScd0p0R
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGVSpJ3Wu4
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8z3cMU22
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYtiXor1c
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bsNMePu4x
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ069cmwvlsO
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS89kpA7Nwk
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf9kgq9var
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0ZuqvCsS
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.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLooH179Q1
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KBXLSoX8D
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TK994yalD
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnyZypnQXT
I hate this guy already.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1kPxu11kD
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahfL5yNdyg
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDi8FfoCaS
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP24SFUKhn
“So…you were crying.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3CWwtLU7V
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPSC9TPw3p
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Xkyompmy
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdTH0Ou0B
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwZHgVwmBc
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoKsQRgBqT
I nodded again.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtH7w68zcZ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9yvIPRCWv
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKubHGne8Kt
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEjH0hnmVq
“Why what?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaLWpNAPUc
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx2T02vcTN
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKEiqqiU4
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghD3vSC3NJ
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidqU35EIQX
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAECmrWVOI5
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusduWKDQNa
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZ3u29eu6
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzaZc3ibK2
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVG2cqzpL
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIiCyUgPeR
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodLyVTiBQ
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXXfwH2p22
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL0gQ1EyT8
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDr4wV33bZ
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan9aOfUccW
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC2ppZ5v9z
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlJdfzgnKL
“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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH8JbddW0o
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSwvNsO1y
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBwXIqVFA
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlLbaxabu2
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLFLcQe56d
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k8dBYg6br
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?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUCZPZHP6h
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObkziBHzrY
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyK5b0VZB
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrN5BBqLer
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnblD7pUUf8
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2IupG66mK
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fx4wfyR5
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDgWrgvRVr
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrVbRTsyA8
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWhUxyfavh
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bX80dsX4L
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpZbzA5eCx
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK6SbpEcBr
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0UmEuimt2
I gasped. “For real?”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698henl2zz
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkppo0tkP
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7RAQpPYA9
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOnxsuLiUp
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA006mSvCm
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK75nL1rCo
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.”913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLndr9nb0Yy
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKNeRrtxU
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UJrH0xpd
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7o7NREqNG
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsXisZ72DO
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO4ght5YIF
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxy1wcdaBa
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUIqYpuSis
