That Last Moment

prologue

"S-Sandra, Sandra Azure Clementine, Azie for short. Nice to meet you, Mr. Mendez" I stuttered as we shake hands. It was a surprise that someone is still interested on talking to me even though I have a very strict and long face all evening. My parents threw a grand party for my big brother's birthday on our own penthouse, people always say that our family throw the best parties in the country so there are a lot of people attending. Interacting with people is too much for me to handle so I mostly go somewhere out of the party or at my room if the party was in our mansion, but now I have decided to go out I don't know why I am doing this in the first place, but what I know is that this is my first step. My first step on change, 

He chuckled, letting go of my hand, "Call me Kane, Mendez is TOO formal, and doesn't suit me." He said casually while touching his chin with his hand and making a weird expression on his face. "I'm too handsome to be a Mendez, to be honest" I laughed and he continued doing the weird expression that he's doing. I haven't laughed like this for a long time, I am laughing so loud I think everyone can hear me. I was already tearing up and it's so hard to speak.

"s-stop it" I manage to say and he laughed. I wiped my tears from my cheeks. I looked at him and he was grining wide. "why are you smiling at me like that?" I said with a smile printed on my face that I can't erase

"you look so pretty when you smile." He replied with a smile. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him. "what?? I'm serious" he said while sipping on cocktail drink.

"so you mean, I don't look pretty when I don't smile??" I raise my eyebrow at him and he coughs. This man could've thought that I don't know how to be sassy, well jokes on him, he's already meeting the most arrogant person in history. Just kidding. 

"No." he briefly answered as if he was thinking twice. "I mean, you're pretty—" he looked at my eyes, his gaze made my face hot as if I am blushing. What in the world is happening to me. "—beautiful" A playful smirk formed on his lips then I slapped his arm. I just met this guy and he's already making me blush, I'm afraid that if I keep on getting close to him, I might not be able to control my emotions and feelings.

"STOP THAT" exclaimed and he laughed. His laugh sounds so sweet and light, it's so intoxicating that it made me smile. 

"wait, Isn't the meaning of Azure, blue?" He asked and I thought for a moment and nod. "Then can I call you sky?" He added and I raised my eyebrows. I remember someone call me sky once but I couldn't remember who he is. 

"you can call me whatever you want, Clairo Oliver Mendez" I tease and he pouts like a little baby.

We laughed, talked and laugh again and before we knew it, it was midnight. As he walked away from me, questions pop up in my head. Would I still be able to see him after this? Could this be the last moment that I would see him? Could this be "that last moment" that I have been waiting for?

I looked down, I couldn't stand seeing a person walk away. When I was about to turn around I heard his voice. "sky!" I turned around and I see him smiling widely "I'll be seeing you, no goodbyes yet. okay?" He smiled again and I smiled back. Maybe this isn't the last after all

"Bon voyage! Kane" I wave and I looked at him, his friends, and my brother walking them out. Maybe goodbyes are not that painful after all.
