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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMguMDL3Oy5
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jir9EJ5Fv
“Well, try having to stand in front of the oven retrieving freshly baked pies and we’ll see who-“845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVEvV40v1G
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGWsjlS2Ap
“Are you talking to yourself again, Frances?” someone said next to me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFEl1bCv6a
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOfu21AM2j
I jumped in surprise and turn to my left only to find my boss, Bass looking at me disapprovingly. I sighed inwardly.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80gkzlrnSn
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbNEUCLWLv
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRQEjJhw9N
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTpZFrw4ty
I stuttered out, “S-sorry, Mr. Bass.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZIxRjIpO
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciH4nmqbsL
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Cvdh4X9H
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZod4H2rlw
What? You literally told me to go retrieve some bloody pies, you oaf! 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh0DbZdQYR
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81fIAZhZgb
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlQM3WbB7t
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVHcjcaTGm
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhD4fZ1ALv
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhaWqDayis
But then again it’s only ten something in the morning.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAXYAS60A
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygwSh5yLCQ
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?845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpI4vG2vld
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkaNYFVNb
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R4IAD3yIw
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFdOhTa9WR
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡediVvsvkNw
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6FJaeQClX
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!”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRqlFrNSXh
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Au5QBRH0
Ugh. “I’m coming.” I muttered reluctantly.
I changed my clothes that evening.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kLOCL79Kn
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5ie5d0Du
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeYkS2TGMK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlADfcC0cC
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyhBNviCQ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtdfUVHi6W
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XitMyFnRg
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykaQPct88A
Oh boy.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJaZOeuI2
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Al4vCitKE
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiIwMEi2b4
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUMkpX18zr
Kyle.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmrJME0JzF
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ZrEr3GOZ
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8AzClWIv
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIH7H4UHGa
He smiled at me. “Hey, Francesca.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrBvwvMfis
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd39ILtCpV
I was glued to my spot and in that moment, my mind went into a frenzy.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByQ84EWxkG
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZIUZodNOY
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-845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl2Wg8zar4
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESdXfubB2E
Three fingers were slowly waving in front of me and I was brought back to the sudden reality. I blinked. “Huh?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52FyhQVXBq
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwLTYJ4xd0
Kyle looked concern. “Are you alright? You kinda spaced out there.”
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw7Eark9Qy
Putting on my best attract-the-customers-smile , I beamed at him. “No, I’m fine.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOzWCVoEGo
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgla2d1qlS
He look skeptical but I convinced him. “Really.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0XLaKYNVM
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5xHxHesu5
With a courage that I could muster (I seriously hope I won’t stutter), I ask, “So what are you doing here, Kyle?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7CyHmfH4d
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztXfWubcT3
I didn’t stutter! I did a mental victory dance at that.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRZbiV7xVu
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvjM05tGWG
I’m such a loser, I know.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30etEHYBqQ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJJ1uXfJz8
He tilt his head confusingly before letting out a chuckle. “I’m here to get some cake?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUl3zh7wKJ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBTmtMtNea
Oh. Of course.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbkatz8Vkh
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exHTNzQhx
“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-“845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarnScydDlH
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ84SKUAbv
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqZ1Le2PkB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJAjMczRg1
Kyle just smiled politely and said okay.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9RnONDlm6
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDSDcuINic
“Uh, just a moment please.” I said and excused myself from him before going after her.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSOQ7wSyx
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pXhKMAavd
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4MulfQtOp
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPwQsnEY9a
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!”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRhmzrnXEa
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBhNUwSpO4
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?845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqAjUMD0dp
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wAowLFlGY
“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?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTtOjwf1H
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEF1ISr374
He looked at all the cakes that I mentioned before pointing at the one he wanted. Kyle grins at me. “I love orange cheesecakes.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij7U5uPUp9
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAlE5LXlX
Those dimples are going to be the death of me. “Yeah, me too.” I smile back.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDOQxcfNwc
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7IuNu3lVE
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWANeODPRM
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8zN0EnzQ
“Hey, are you-“845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRS5RSkblH
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dZPallrM
“Francesca, are you free tonight?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX7k4R2eW6
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2jKUEjLXz
Silence.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7X7gHVWUx
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyHyBUmUG9
It took me ten seconds to process that. Did he just asked me what I think he did? Is this it?845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NCHaO6DGb
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocf0P2fKsf
IS KYLE SAMSON ASKING ME OUT?845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJTH3A6nkb
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQoaffS8cq
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORM39ywl7s
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zlZtCl28e
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WxuqYIyLE
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dx41dMPyS
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.
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw6dAuZqC3
“Yes, I would love to.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL4rVWugn7
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gi7l6SQhx
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXUMsVJ7O
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY6WfFqHUd
“I can’t believe it! I just got asked out.” I said in a daze.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkOLNUVktB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rLNM2n1WJ
Jenny laughed and said in a matter of fact tone. “Technically, he asked you to come to his party.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDAC53VJRt
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkewQO3Ujx8
I laughed and dismissed it with a wave of my hand but the excitement was soon short lived as I realized something important.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy1jd3sSxY
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKaMuJN0QA
I have a full shift tonight.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXoMajkVlv
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuL2yr40p9
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.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIP5TLMlK1
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTOFRqYWuS
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoe5hOC8x9
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxySXKePkR
“What?” I frowned.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bnEkO26O
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93McVRsCwm
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?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoX8FppgMY
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYX2eYpIVb
Before Kyle left, he told me the time and address to his place. “…Ten o’clock.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3gs36CL6
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhhcyMwKaq
Now that the realization has dawned on me and I have all the reason to feel like a complete dolt.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9pmFVxGf3
I must have looked sheepish because she slapped my shoulder before pointing to a clock.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vz31Wfk8P
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGX2eL1XBF
8:57 P.M.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFMOoor3K6
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZf6JjXTIp
I nodded vigorously and went back to grab my things when I remembered something.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OWsgrvdP5
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFauVBx1eTb
“Wait, Jenny. Will you come to the party with me?” I asked with a hopeful expression.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDziJr9auIT
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QW5Ua1Asy
“Sorry, but no.” Jenny answered casually.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpwTv4Cc6V
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkb5jh4rAm
I was about to counter why when she continued. “My date’s coming over later. You know, Robbie.” She grins at that.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd35LrFc4s
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QXFeFSO5A
I got confused. “Wait, Robbie the delivery guy?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJAzRd4uoa
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qVRzDknR
She made a face. “No, it’s a different one. The guy whom I had a date with two days ago.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2pEMfAhG1
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWPfweAOa6
“Oh, okay. Well, I hope your date goes well.” I nodded and smiled as I gave her two thumbs up.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9CA7k55PE
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNL7PntYb
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqQJ1UncoZ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO82MOEutH
Ah, the green strapless blouse. Of course, I would never have considered it.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTMPSMiSp5
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYAhyXumvQ
Really.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMes7ty8VLc
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0m6fqPvN9
I stopped in my tracks and gave her a hug. “Thanks Jenny!”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjZcWQhtQt
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NjpbBrFm0
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r1Phn6k0m
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMgWRAIvGi
I rolled my eyes but grinned back. I hope so.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfaGBiJzaq
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewL53zl4F
His house is huge.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7Klerniq
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1lN4hl9LZ
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdcTgdV47D
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsURVNXZ8b
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887o7xHQiE
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZaBfbdI9z
Gah, I’m hopeless. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf476qBPwr
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsFS5cawsr
I’m totally blaming it on the atmosphere here.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2NEIsXVQ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjcenkO0Vc
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…?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCJawr8yPH
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeULap8QGzU
I flash him a smile and nodded. “Yup, right about now.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z09Ly5Nb4
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6SEDAy4k
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm94CIODPs
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m92b9anKo
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZnHhIcLH
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnTMAqSqns
“You came.” Came a voice from behind me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhsJNcxRxk
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnZRPikNWQ
Startled, I almost drop the cup but managed to get a grip on it before turning around…..845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt38QV9DD5m
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rgk4FvfQn
…and boy am I glad I did because it’s Kyle Samson.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdOb3DBuni
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2puqcMZQ6
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? 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡychX9KBHla
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd1logshji
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpLDlVS8xk
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fTZ85CB0
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLPw877f4i
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI7nBN0JHZ
Chuckling, he nodded. “Thank you, although you’ve already wished me that earlier, Francesca. You look good, by the way.”
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7GNkhwsSi
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZUBLcOaKb
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONW2Lapwd3
“Hey Kyle! Sorry man, but something came up and we need your help.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QvdHCreDW
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rgAUzc1PK
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmsLIUSjcY
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4yKGCSYlt
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab08pNHI8g
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsMcdAYQML
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T5YWEFP79
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1FfnPAXKu
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwRNAKxfHM
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4FAZ2s3RO
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….845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlQCa9vZvP
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J8STrZMvW
….only to abruptly halt in my steps.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoDQsvuXod

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? 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirKkaQLW6

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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOctIskUk
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwK5Mb9SAj
Huh. So this is where he had been. Great. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5FofsYfm9
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhfkwT77HR
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. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Xy6B35sF
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAzz5yHbvo
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. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52k1r8cuVI
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgYjIUdbbr
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbxLKi0zR4
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPawq3PQlB
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLNvlQyYyE
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtdEHKInsT
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-845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz4kewaYMZ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1KrbYq7Ge
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHyO5zl0UN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgNRr9jlr
It’s Kyle. And I wouldn’t have reacted as I did next if it weren’t for a carbon copy of Kyle Samson.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy1PZ0MEoV
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthpWmfioPa
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoEwySFu9o
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQhshuXRJr
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHym9zormd
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhnIrcVfo
I would have kept screaming if it hadn’t been for that one particular information.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflDWoIN8N
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX8niHmYX3
“Hold up! Brother?” I asked, astonished. I didn’t know he had a brother.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS1O9uQzwx
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNVXR8nkO
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdibDjFdzW2
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkh4yn27oa
The real Kyle chuckled, unaware of my discomfort. “This is Len, my twin. He’s older than me by two minutes.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9ivT88hB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3LfNZKTnQ
Oh. My. God. Twins.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV59EsyNKVR
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkxR5npSlt
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZSNSad5k0
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOKPD8sjn
Len smirk as he look to his brother and back at me. “Francesca, huh. Interesting.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRgCK6p2e
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXlSTfG2M8
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R0v9OUSgg
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGfQ81cA9
Kyle looked at me as I look away. It’s like we’re playing a game here.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vo3rkK6aO
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3M8OAF4D3
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOkyNmpG49
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF6zvd3QV5
And I needed to know something that’s been bugging me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOxmNfyzKs
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFxUUV7f13
“Hey, could you guys smile? Don’t ask, just do it.” I said in all seriousness.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0uUsl8VJp
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyykiohEf7o
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp2FILsVQf
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVVgK2c4Uo
“Okay…you’re both brothers. I believe you now.” I said with finality.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9duGeTrCP
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSmosNhIbj
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoKYVROSSf
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr6LRVFOpR
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.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn3hWpzLPQ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPcssQJG2
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zxsF4cU3D
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ2tisp339
I hate this guy already.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4asrM8Bh
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOuam54uOW
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUqyM4Bl8q
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfUhBYtR80
“So…you were crying.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8GeLKs1vD
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNbgfLNWP
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0pg8auc7E
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tENKJsbSK
“And you were looking for me?” He asked, this time meeting my gaze.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjdKxZo2p
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigWNo1k04J
I nodded again.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfC3O0o4ml
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYcprPjrVx
“Why?” What do you mean, ‘why?’845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWILoPvxl
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUS4vSQtnt
“Why what?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfHWJAvGOA
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwLN6GRWe2
“Why were you crying? Did someone hurt you or something?” He looked genuinely concerned yet a bit stiff. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESP8df7Pj0
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAOLHey6M
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0f8MiUuyf
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhbe0mi88q
I took a very deep breath along with the risk. “No, I…the truth is, I like you.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbGHBDBtyu
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XkpoKBF2P
Is it just me or he let out a relieved exhale?845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSok519gNtl
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3dKiHGGeh
Kyle’s eyes widen slightly as he opened his mouth but I beat him to it.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEDGjVXvFL
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9U06Jl0ZX
“And I guess I thought you wanted to ditch me when you said you had to do something. Perhaps I was boring.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0i5dbTxkN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7cumfpkky
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ThsCA2K1
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnTwefBBqE
I noticed he called me Frances and not Francesca and I feel like there’s butterflies fluttering in my stomach right now. Squeal internally.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7CtaRfBTy
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeLuOCwqgC
“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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ms0esB0P9
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSUx6BUjV1
“You were?” I asked as I look at him, leaning against the balustrade and him, looking over the houses.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YYEXY0OCi
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBGVu7tV6L
He glance at me before humming, “Mhm.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBwr1oG3lK
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRYVrEpEBF
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?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlSpTGK20
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyWUDE60K9
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0hV3bC59K
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJwEtLMZrr
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxFfuDIWw7
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IlxDpJ56M
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID8O93lmkZ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIv2HsOBu
“That’s really menacing, Frances. Real cute, though.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79RWfwDX5L
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARuvhEJSaS
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuiPrfs9nJ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86dHU4SM1H
“You know, it’s a shame you missed out on eating the cake though. We did that at eleven just now.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2xoPTh9UA
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOq6StH7un
I gasped. “For real?”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFIVeWBI4V
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyz2GJcqFa
Kyle nodded gravely. “For real.” Before bursting into laughter. “Nah, I saved some for you.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTycromzZdJ
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMtAYXVkEL
“For me? How do you know that I haven’t gone home already?” I asked, quirking up my eyebrow.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzX40ondc2
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqOoecGiJh
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.”845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VK0vvysvV
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP9ZuCOuo1
“Very.” He nodded vigorously, laughing as well.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUqsEXUZlB
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaljnE7vCK
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoZahIM4XN
845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpB11ialNu
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QeNXzSZsb
