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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgaEzdZE1k
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Sn1m9lLK
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ShH6lHvC
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWB0yJLRg
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2gXHMdlwz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ksPZ4Lqua
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFMcxNdNdT
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAt8f8EqeJ
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a8kigD92Z
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PD9ahPsrL
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDMz9b93p
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXd7cZuvv
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOGIdCX9a
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4huXyhyZjV
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSIyh4O5x8
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0l6LXoRie
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYWm3ed0D
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC6Q99o3sM
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmHwE1btvx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpM4KnYLng
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7vDTeFw6i
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHvPwPUWyb
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?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlda7mKQmi
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ8dxzkWyt
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNgK9uP6gU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcvkDclyGk
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxEjaVnUtO
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WcItzVv2r
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!”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pwBYb11yj
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1o5HLUUBO
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhTqWHnkd
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xaDYF1zy8
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RdVo7lGo9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9wGXkbXB5
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rzc1abjpR
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn6ZUwVetZ
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9jAPD6APp
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBElunJMfwc
Oh boy.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSRMEiR6tT
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3ceMt4oir
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwdAqM8OUz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs94VUq1Bn
Kyle.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7TZZkrIQ2
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD14ZQb2KY
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJW9FRmuT
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBe2D7ljfK
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYYmSQHGw
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQoeDpxtJ
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J6nsLYpCd
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncbB135LNe
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-876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdA4Lr0vk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs30eZousOc
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaONh7bAem
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUaVxZe0Gy
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUpW3eBkdw
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXxlREG1X
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEylLrS4vHI
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dP69R0mav
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7TrGY6ZgN
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlhGjzEmx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoS0IPPbQq
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmdzxomj5h
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP0X5Qy8Ux
I’m such a loser, I know.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL1WH9PWA6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqn19VTt2h
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJv2zG2j4
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IIMqr1s2r
Oh. Of course.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXswKj3kwy
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVu1N6ABgH
“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-“876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0dfE8SCjC
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J6sFHGbrD
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP547hqhEEW
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGqfrhhxV0
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7YH1PtiBH
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrsRXin34x
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ4MVnG8js
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvrBIkccgT
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Pevt8CUt
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWuKpa81ph
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!”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxr4gBY6gq
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wd3gO9KzH
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?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ilra5cb6c
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx29IdCG2h4
“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?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97gzh5t9vp
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFK7HVjMI8
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9XJNZtLQm
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtozRrB4J4y
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOVVltZZdd
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtK4PAw5t
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT5qZRHyMU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Sdkk1jaX
“Hey, are you-“876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ZokfLIjK
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14LaytpbwT
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqSDbbyn3
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVTInIgEFh
Silence.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1jxcx23SK
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKJPCK9BCf
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5oIlcNyZQ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqSzMQ4u0T
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwopW94IcI
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjal6vel4FD
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3qnaC7FMv
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh790NxWZFZ
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6imlqc5Gg
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTKLwWNZa
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.
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFWFAObHk0
“Yes, I would love to.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS4rWDuZwP
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssD0UoyR6F
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjbnLUYmQY
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yMmTMlCvn
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLCyyuMDlU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46PnoFgxpP
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FlLUPYcn
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxhjc0681
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVGVneGVNk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLts4r4J0pb
I have a full shift tonight.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSMbeltDJz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFR1rwRHH3
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.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Zvd4fBZr
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxK7cu1YNW
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAa2mgg16
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaydA7ksDM
“What?” I frowned.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0SoT5umFe
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuVgWOHAV
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?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKEh9ZozzX
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50tsVHCZFc
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQadhEMmkd9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUv9CoxbU
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScK3IWKdG9
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67zuqjzaff
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQZlLTKW0
8:57 P.M.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7nGxL4UP
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJYiCSNMCI
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn62sD7USK0
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8rRgxIVJo
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn6rC0u9s3
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hYQqlPkmE
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEKbQSBru
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLs5NJyLTO
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6fPb3Nbe
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNI9N1P8rH
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmOqbiMCz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl6icKLeFd
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCmniyYucg
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk43HMGI2Xw
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiZ9iEfADh
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPX0jEznA2
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kNmuDVOFY
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TmAwLyKAc
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXrPQPWof
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1wxUe9VfE
Really.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLh3r4RTQf
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcvmRaFWMc
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmChg8lkws
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcUCyHFQFi
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzudhQEfDXD
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVRikoJdp2
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRo5JvM3lA
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi03nkMBMe9
His house is huge.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWvS9fabyA
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKRVEP4Tzo
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECgWo85VR2
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh762Eq1VK4
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0eIuVjkg7
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ojKhsxEZ
Gah, I’m hopeless. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLQhjo892r
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlb5SQDz5J
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2g4oGTQ4i
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo1j5uRy4Q
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…?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrRd3qYRn9
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWopdbBd88z
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89w5Lwb3kh
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvri4dh9Au
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQGxaDZ28
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5C4VcRlMc
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIBmeRZpNY
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMeqjruoN
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYN2x5HPZn
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZIQ1AqyJB
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjyZs1z8O
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XPRt05pY0
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYCXZno54
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPdP70Z5WJ
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? 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0mxNVnM3A
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoApbrLtF0
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OEz5lm6JD
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlL00L3VyW
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsz2084Iib
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhvruDkmJ7
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr4TlIyT90
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1iySV9Ib
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXbd1vCNEp
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp30YtKwtkP
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1IL82xrEk
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O6f40n4cL
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFCgHtkorV
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDc0qvJKCt
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsnRxmdBjL
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVwEXYPy1G
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9b2YnuZfE
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmQFL3sfsC
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB43qGZIE8
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….876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJVUO5fzbt

….only to abruptly halt in my steps.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUomVZ7Ls6G
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b1hOqoXjU
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? 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLCX5Et5PE
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE2AUGlvwA
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKXskcEfI6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLk5dt2xlJ
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZingtaHELS
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIz69uct3p
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkifzgDYjqk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4sHY1bskV
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. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmke8vuGgYO
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ED0o8iAO3
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOQx5kEbEI
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuoCjI4QcC
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2yIFxRI2E
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKqzSUEg2
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-876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbKfmozjd5
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzvGDlaKZu
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8CwNpttc
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmH1fWfMo3
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkdO4gh29Q
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXqxJ5uXCr
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92i0ZzjbAk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE4ONIZxR0
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hV98mIsi
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqu6xrecig
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlzOaIKWj
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiC6ZXiaMk
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQd2UfQQWw
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZvfdIzuC
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHnj8wNjGE
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9zZdePdQY
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIlQ2Jf6YQ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCPWoYVR3j
Oh. My. God. Twins.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscBClE0Asg
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKvYmO1Dbg
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQo449tnw
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6St0CwVSZ
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNQWe2AvE
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xFkeaWZ8E
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXY6G54tdg
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LEgRJf1Vb
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5JrqPLi1v
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHTwXISTiB
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnlQkEM3Qq
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV9bKg4VK0
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4bfk5YeHp
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uvbqSedse
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6HQDOJGvX
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ5FjDKF0F
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCSdzK0ejM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3grorYtvIS
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWZR5jrpVP
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9m7fHHDXP
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdW8JO5QzK
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0jv9E8AtQ
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.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMpU7xz3Jh
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstWT5Id1Ll
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0RssKlIFo
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Dew7DcJT
I hate this guy already.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CuZPAU6i
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCq9vLWGyK
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRkKOyA8vU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtbxCU6GhA
“So…you were crying.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU8ng8lenO
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnzEAz1o8f
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eU78h4dKz
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Y6pGUnki
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8YyAHGUx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3MIYvZZl
I nodded again.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTwrTGnsaR
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST2wq6ouGc
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzcnaNMwf
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKsBMCcoD7
“Why what?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5mS4G4IzD
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sc053mTOZ
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXe0GMpicc
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSvg0HIY6Y
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRgEDg4Jv4
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSqcX3YMm
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KpmTEQ41
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UYgy0FYys
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40bUbHlwv8
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQdJ5iOiK
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKn6wFimpk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Ibh6yRyV
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMYweGW7Mc
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmSdc8U2Uk
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUgzPm9J9w
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HKczC3Tgg
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIvJUdsKHK
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6KmrvabW
“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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu26BGVbGtx
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR6A2jf6X3
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbd2jRj8ss
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DcbvS26RT
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQtB8i1FCQ
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3q3HyVDGn
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?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmrzQs0s93
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHha0iWBT6
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhwBQuE08L
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4yAAqjedj
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOzSo74bg1
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RiHONk1vg
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKk1haJwh6
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡock8ZLSkuV
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPpul3mehM
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgUHkuzjSq
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbDAsbpcoq
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHYTICGBF4
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAHxESHUjd
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK0OGJLlUR
I gasped. “For real?”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKbBhVE0E
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCj0j9NPJq
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfhyTxobtW
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2zcaq7mt
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTmSeIpFHK
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XlOsrtf0h
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.”876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZmW5YlWYk
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz1cm8CBUW
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZYFFpZPU
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWszT4aJgQI
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRVHcblYcB
876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMhyAhdyt0
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.876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38vYc59y6
