Strings Attached (Sequel)

Surprise (part 2)

February 18th

Faye Calinao

"Lei..." I had to pull away from him. We had been making out for the past fifteen minutes in the empty classroom. I 'm not sure how no one walked in on us. I'm sure we wouldn't be attending our last class.

Lei, after finding out about my memories, suddenly broke down into tears of joy and it made me emotional seeing him like this that I let go of the little wall I was trying to build to push away my feelings.

It was quite confusing when my memories came back this morning as the mixture of my emotions of the breakup at the cabin and the wall I was trying to build most recently clashed together. My heart wanted to be close to him again and I really missed him. His touch once again made me forget about the problems.

"I'm so happy Faye," He said slightly out of breath and it made me smile. He let our foreheads touch.  It felt great to feel his lips against mine and I wanted nothing more than to run away with him and live happily in Paris. It seemed to work that his worries went away as well as soon as he realized.

"You're the first to know."

"Faye," Lei smiled. "I'm so thankful you're alright."

"I am too, though... we do need to discuss our relationship. I'm quite confused with my mixed emotions."

"It depends what you want Faye," Lei spoke. I know exactly what I want, does Lei really feel the same way?

"I want you Lei." He smiled and nodded.

"Then you can have me. You don't have to ask again." I let out a laugh at Lei's playful conversation. Something I really needed at a time like this.

"You're being so cute. I've missed this." Lei smiled and leaned forward to place his soft lips on mine once again. I had to carefully place one of my hands to the side of his neck and gently pull away to stop. "As much as I like kissing you, I think we're hungry." I referred to little one and I. Lei was confused for a moment before I placed my hand on my stomach and Lei realized what I was referring to.

"Oh, right," Lei said softly. "Umm let's head off campus then. Is there something in particular you're craving?"

"Can Joyce make Sinigang?"

"Of course, I'll send a text now since that takes quite some time to make. We'll head back to my house then? I'm sure Cha and Jin would love to see you today."

"That sounds good to me." I leaned away from the table and wrapped my arms around his shoulder once again and gave him a peck on the lips before letting him go to take my backpack and carefully placed my arms through. Lei sent a quick text before holding his hand out to me.

"Should we bring our instruments with us? We haven't rehearsed in over a month."

"That's... probably a good idea. My wrist is weak at the moment."

"That's okay. We won't practice for very long then. We'll work you back up to where you were." I took his hand and we began making our way to where our lockers would be. Us being seniors, we had lockers outside the storage rooms and located near the practice rooms.

"This woman eats," Jinjin said as I finished my plate of rice and sinigang. My body really appreciated the broth that I poured onto my fresh cooked rice and the vegetables and pork.

"Let her eat," Cha said smiling as he watched me finish my second plate. The three of them were watching me after they had finished their first plate.

"She can have as much as she wants," Lei said from beside me. The attention was fully on me and I thought this was the perfect time to tell them.

"Should I tell them?" I asked Lei and he smiled.
