“I tried so hard~ and got so far~ in the end~ It doesn’t even matter~” *BGM*

The weather was fine; the scorching sun was shining brightly, soft wind howling. Out of a sudden tiny droplet started to fall onto the ground. Lightning flashes as thunder clapped. My music device fell to the ground. I quickly ran to the bus stop to take shelter before I was drenched from head to toe, and then I met him. That was our first encounter, we glanced at each other for a few second and then I look away shyly. He has a pair of mesmerizing blue eyes; his hair was a little bit untidy and was quite good looking. There were even dimples forming around his cheeks when he smiled. I was attracted by his looks.

He was hot, that was the 1st thing that I could described of him, and he himself had also gotten a little wet from de rain. I remembered I had tissues in my bag so I took it out and handed it to him, asking: “Erm, do you need some tissues to dry yourself? Better than nothing right?"

His face turns towards me while he swipes his hair to the left, his eyes glazed at me with those cold cool blue eyes. My heart started beating fast while I stare at his eyes. "Oh Thanks..." He grabbed the tissues with his large hand. His hand touched mine, it felt warm somehow. He wiped off the water on his face and threw away the tissue. “Where you’re going?” He asks while looking out to the rain. “I…I’m going home, I just went to Linkin Park’s concert.” He looked at me with huge eyes all of a sudden. “W-What? Is…is there something on my face?” He slowly swipe my hair to the side, my heart beats even faster. “I went to the concert too! What a coincidence eh?” He smiled brightly. The bus arrived. We got on to the bus and sit right next to each other. We talk and talk about all kind of things.

Then the bus slowly arrives to his destination. “Well looks like I got to go now.” he said while he stood up. No, I don’t want this to be over, I want to talk to him more, but what can I do? Should I get his number? If I don’t we might never meet each other ever again right? “W-Wait!” He looked back to me. “Hm?” “C-can I g-get y-your phone n-number please!” I handed out my hand with a note and a pen to him, everybody in the bus stares at me. Ahhh this is so embarrassing~. “Sure!” He took the pen and note and started writing down his phone number, and then he handed it back to me and walked out the bus. I looked at him walking out the bus. He waved at me and I waved back from the bus window.  The bus started moving again. YES!! WOOO!!! I GOT HIS NUMBER!! I’M SO HAPPY! My mind and heart are having a party together while I sit quietly in the bus, smiling while I sleep away.

When I got home I immediately jump on my bed. Without a second thought I called his number.

“Hello?”

“Umm…Hi! It’s me!”

“Oh hey! What’s the matter?”

“…”

SH*T WHY DID I EVEN CALLED HIM AGAIN?! AHHHHHH!

“Ummm…Hello?”

“UMM…UMMM…Would you like to go for a movie at the mall this Saturday?!”

I JUST INVITED HIM TO A DATE DIDN’T I?! AHHHHHH!

“Let’s see….Yeah sure I’m free, what movie do you want to watch?”

“A-ANYTHING!”

“Hahaha you’re funny, okay see ya then!”

“Bye…bye.”

A moment of silence passes by…I JUST INVITED A BOY TO A DATE! ME! SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN SINGLE FOR 20 YEARS! WILL THIS BE IT! And he’s a hot guy still, is this really how easy it is to begin with?! I was happy as a lark, literally on cloud nine.

That day arrived before I even knew it. We agree to meet up at 9:00a.m. Its 7:30a.m and I’m here already standing at the place we agree to meet…Ahhh I really am a knee-slapper aren’t I. There aren’t many shop open at this time of the day, but there’s a breakfast diner nearby so I went ahead and bought a glass of milk and some bread. Time pass and it’s already 8:00a.m. I ate the bread on a bench by a fountain since I thought there’s still an hour before he arrived. I opened up the milk and started gulping it down.

“YO!”

“PFFFFFFFT”

OH MY GOD, HE SUDDENLY APPEARED BESIDE ME! AND NOW I’VE SPIT SOME MILK ONTO HIM. SO MUCH FOR MY FIRST DATE, I’M DEAD I’M DEAD!

He looked at me with a dumb founded look. “I’M SO SORRY! You surprised me! Wait got some tissue in my bag!” “Pfft Ahahaha!” He started bursting out laughing. “Why…Why are you laughing?” Did I make him so mad that he went psycho?! He shook his head. “Nah nah, this is just like the first time we’ve met. I’m wet and you gave me tissue, guess you like it when I’m wet huh!” He said while smiling. His smile was like the sun shining bright across the horizon, giving hope to me. I started laughing with him as well. We then went ahead and watch the movie.

The movie we watched was 50 shades of Grey; since it’s the only movie closest to our current time…The whole cinema is filled with couples! I wondered what he’s thinking now,  Do he mind watching this movie with a friend, I wonder if I’m making him feel bad now, maybe I should call this off after all…… *Piak!*

He clapped on my face. “Hey hey what’s with that look? The movie’s starting now, enjoy it as much as you can okay?” He said while handling a box of popcorn to me. Ahhhh I’m thinking too much aren’t I, yeah let’s just watch the movie and enjoy it.

I CAN’T ENJOY THE MOVIE AT ALL.

He’s sitting right next beside me! I can’t help but keep staring at him! Needless to say the sex scene in the movie is embarrassing for me but he didn’t even bat an eye away from the screen. And what’s with the couples around me all holding hands and kissing! THIS PLACE ISN’T FOR A SINGLE GIRL LIKE ME AFTER ALL!

The movie is over and it felt like all I watch were him only. We went to eat at a restaurant. While dining he went ahead and went to the toilet and told me to don’t go anywhere. Not like I’m done eating, why would he say that.

A few minutes later he came back. Something’s weird about the way he’s walking though.

“I’m back!”

“Hey, are you holding some-“

“Hey do my head still smell like milk?” He cut me off and kneels down, with his hair facing towards me. My head went forward and tried to smell his head. “How weird does this look” I thought. But before my nose is close enough his head rise up and his hand came out from his back. It was a bouquet of flower! He held it up to me.

“What-what?!”

“For you.” He said while smiling. People around started looking at us and some even started clapping and cheering! “Take it and be my girlfriend, I like you a lot!” He held the flowers higher to the point I can’t see his face. Is he shy? "That’s romantic" I thought I gladly accepted them and kissed him on the cheek. His face then was as red as a tomato I giggled n blushed too as I was nervous myself. Everybody around clapped more furiously and even the music band called out to us on the stage “Dedicate this love song to the lovely couple over there” the vocalist said. We finished our food and then he walked me home.
