Marcos had no one to talk to. Whenever he returned home from work he would pet Mr. Kittles his cat feed him and himself then sleep.
Woke up every morning with Sound of the clock and pet his cat, feed him and himself, take a shower then head to work. Same routine every single day.
Though he does not want to admit it and keeps saying he is happy with his single life. He could not help feeling alone.
Loneliness struck him every morning waking up alone, cooking for himself and his cat, and no one to talk to, his house felt empty.
Then one day an ads intrigue him, a dating app. Disperate to find someone, he joined the said app.
Scrolling through his posible matches he found someone, new like him, and she looks beautiful with her wide smile.
He then chatted "hey"
Everything start from that single message and it brought the feeling of comfort, joy, and something to look forward to everyday.
He gets excited to head back home and chat with her all night that he sometimes forgotten to feed Mr. Kittles. (Which Mr. Kittles finds irresponsible and cruel)
He head to bed smiling with good nights and sweet dreams, and he would wake up happy, feeling motivated full of Good mornings and don't forget this and that.
God he never have anyone in his life who he was so god damn attracted to.
He was her comfort for sure and she was his aid to his lonely nights and was the excitement he never had.
He never had someone who understands him until Jollie came and their conversations.
He was happy and he knows right then he wants to know more about her and build something with her.
But one message change it between them;
“I have to be honest with you, I do like you very much. I enjoy my time with you and I can’t wait to meet you”
The person who was there to make him smile the brightest, vanished.
He message her over and over again but no reply, not even a single message seen by Jollie.
He was devastated his heart sank and had broken into pieces.
What could have he said that made Jollie run away?
Was liking her wrong?
Million thoughts had run to his head and no Jollie had answered.
One night laying down on his bed an idea came rushing to his head.
What if I visit Jollie?
He had not known where had Jollie lived but he knows that they have central park that Jollie loves to relax and make a wish from the fountain, as what she had mentioned to him.
He decided to message Jollie again one last time.
Leting her know she would travel by plane just to get to her and wait at the central park.
With a suit case on his left hand and a travel back pack he traveled and looked for his Jollie.
But to his disappointment no Jollie had arrived at the central park.
Lights started to turned on and hours later people were going home.
He was about to look for a hotel, when he saw Jollie, who he thought was Jollie, grabbed her by the shoulders but to his disappointment it was not her.
"Can I help you?" The woman said confused.
"Oh sorry I thought you might be someone I know" he said.
The woman look at his suit case and him.
"Well I can help you check in a hotel in this town, my friend owns one" she said and pave the way to the hotel.
He stayed for days, and would came back to the fountain everyday.
The woman who help her named Louise would bring her coffee every dawn as he wait by the fountain feeling the coldness of the air.
Louise would sometimes invite him to stroll around but he refuses just to wait for Jollie by the fountain all day.
Until she managed to take him away from the fountain and enjoy the foods of the town.
One day as Louise brought him coffee as usual and with his favorite strawberry cake, they had gone into deep conversation.
"You must really love her to wait here for days" she said sipping on her coffee.
He had stop eating his strawberry cake and look at her then the building infront of the central park.
"She became the comfort I've ever had" he said staring at the building sadly.
She look at him "You know what! If she really like you she would not let you wait here and would not ghosted you for a month" she said half smiling.
"Hmmmm, If you put it that way, then I don't know what I am still doing here" he said.
"Well fix your eyes on this, because I will be your company until you forget about her!!" She said cheerfully standing in front of him, just like presenting herself.
Months had passed and he had totally moved on with her.
Louise had given him hope, love, care, and she is the sweetest he could ever have.
Just before he returned back to his place he confess to Louise and Louise had told him she felt the same.
Due to "he have to return back or he would lose his Job."
They decided to meet Louise's family during the Christmas holiday.
He was happy and thought of Jollie as a passing phenomena.
He was sure he had no more left feelings for Jollie.
Until he saw Jollie when Louise's family welcome them.
He was frozen, he does not know what to say and he knows Jollie too.
As his girlfriend introduce them together he was speechless.
He does not know how to react.
His heart was pounding fast and did not know how to react.
He did not see that coming
He did not expect them to meet that way.
With the brightest smile he extend his hand and said;
"Nice meeting you Jollie"
