The 7 Days Love Game

6. do you feel anything?

day 4

I walked up to his front porch and rang the door bell. seconds after, Felix opened up and quickly pulled me in a hug.

"why didn't you answer your phone at all yesterday? I was worried!"

"because yesterday was a silent day."

"a what?"

"a silent day. every couple that is in love has one."

"why did we need one?"

"because we need it to notice how important the other person is. oh and thank you for the messages. they were really nice to read."

"oh well next time, warn me when we have a silent day."

he ate his breakfast in silence as I wait.

while in the car, I snuck my hand on top of his.

"can I hold your hand?"

he didn't answer so I took that as a yes.
nothing happened so far so I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"do you.. feel anything?" I looked up at him waiting for an answer.

"I don't know.."

the rest of the car ride was silent but it was comforting.

I broke the silence and asked, "why don't you come over to my house tonight? I'll make us dinner."

"you're cooking? is it edible?" he chuckled.

"ha ha very funny. it won't kill you don't worry."

-dinner-

steam was covering my glasses as I hovered over the stove making our dinner as Felix sat at the dinner table.

as I poured the hot water into the pot, it splashed my arm.

"FUUUUCK." that hurt... a lot.

"hey is everything okay in there? do you need help?" I looked out at the table and he was about to stand up.

"no no no just sit back down. it's almost done."

5 minutes later, my master piece was finished.

I carefully placed the food in two bowls and cautiously brought them out.

placing one bowl in front of Felix, his face looked confused.

"this is instant noodles."

"yeah... but, but this is good for your skin, your health, and, I made it so why don't you try it?"

we ate in silence and all you can hear is the slurping of the noodles. (that sounds gross lol.)

"Felix?" he looks up at me.

"yes Kirby?" he said, continuing eating.

"can you uh hold my hand?"

he slowly put his hand over mine and gently massaged my thumb with his.

seconds later I asked, "so do you feel anything?" I asked hopefully.

"I still don't know.." I can tell he's confused about his emotions and is getting uncomfortable so I cleared the table since we were both done.

"well it's getting late, I should head back home. goodnight Kirby." Felix kissed the side of my head and walked out the door.

"goodnight... I love you." I silently said the last part but good thing he already closed the door.

I watched as his car pulled out of my drive way and started heading the other direction. I walked over to my desk and opened up my journal.

dear journal,
there's only 3 more days of the game and I can tell he's now confused about his feelings. all I know for sure is I, Kirby Jane Cade, am in love with Felix.
I wonder what he thinks of me. does he want to be with me? sometimes I just want to jump into his arms and kiss him and just let him hold me forever. but obviously I can't..
