Keeping up with my feelings

Chapter: 10 "Pretty"

The next morning....

Its 4:30 am....Ring! Ring! Ring!.....
"Huh! Did I set my phone for alarm???!!!" Grabbing my phone from the bedside table and with total shock! It wasn't the alarm... Someone's calling! Really? This early?!!! Just before the last ring (just assuming) I answered the call....

"I thought you won't answer my call pretty." Vince said giggling.

"Really Vince, this early!" I answered. "Why are you up this early?" I followed up.

"Sorry. Yeah. I was actually asleep then I had a dream...I was dreaming of you." He uttered.

So yeah! I blushed again and it woke up my soul and didn't know what to say.

"Hey, still there Patty?" He asked.

"Yeap. I just don't know what to say." I replied.

"No worries. I wasn't really expecting for you to react...at this time.. You must go back to sleep." He said.

"I guess. Sorry. Bye." I replied while yawning.

As the call ended. I went back to sleep.. I still had 30 minutes left before my alarm clock wakes me up... Staring at Adam Levine's poster again and closely fell asleep. Yeah! I guess its my habit already that if I wanted to go to sleep I'll just look at his poster posted on my cabinet's door.

It's Tuesday. My turn to use my car going to school.

At front of Issa's house. *beep beep beep* that's my signal to let her know that Im here already. Issa hopped inside.

In our way to school.

"Patty. There's something weird with you. I've been observing you since yesterday. Anything you want to share? Issa asked in confusion.

"Really? Like how Am I different?" I asked.

"Your mind is like somewhere else." Every now and then I see your cheek blushing as if your thinging of something that happened that makes you feel different. Why?" she replied.

"Yeah. I haven't told you what really happened last Sunday. Are you doing something after our second class?" I uttered.

"None, I guess." She replied.

"Let's go have some coffee later and I'll tell you what happened." I told her with a smile on my face.
****

"Ready?" I asked. And she nodded yes.

This time we went to Seattle's Best. I ordered our favorite drink here and a slice of cake and went back to our table.

"Now, start! Its like you owe me a lot!" Issa uttered.

"Remember what I've told you yesterday, who Am I with...that's all true...but there's something that I didn't metion yet.." I told her.

"Go on.." She replied.

"Its like this...we went to do zipline and one of the requirements of the activity is that you should have a partner..apperantly where only 7 in the group and where obviously not even. So everybody had partner except me...i don't wanna ruin there excitement just because of me, so I told the to go through and I'll just stay. So everybody was shouting once they are pushed out by the platform then suddenly an instructor came and asked me if he could accompany me.. My gad Issa, he looks like David Beckham, from the eyes through his body... I couldn't say no. So he fixed and made sure that our harness is safe and off we go.. Issa, I blushed when he held my hand when I told him that I am scared of heights..." I narrated to Issa.

"Then? This is getting exciting!!!" She said in reply.

"Just before we reach the end of the zipline, he introduces hiself to me and asked mine." As I continued to narrate to her.

"So what's his name? Issa immediately asks.

"Vince. He actually asked for my number and yes, He's been texting and calling me." I said with ab blush on my face.

"I've never seen you like this Patty. I mean you never looked blooming like this. Vince is giving you this butterfly feeling..."she uttered.

"More than butterfly feeling..." I answered.

Issa stood up and gave me a 1minute hug. "I think you can now move on and let go of Polo. Im happy for you." Issa whispered to me.

"I guess so. But yes, i still need to talk to Polo and say everything to him. At least I don't want the past to be hunting me. I want a closure for me if not for the both of us." I replied.

"Im here with you Patty!" Issa squeezed my hands.

"Yeah! Thank you! Love you Issa!.. Now let's get going, we'll be late for our 3rd class." I uttered.

Running into the cooridor.. Batina and Ella is standing outside the door of the classroom and hand on their waist. Issa and I stopped and looked at each otherand burst into laughter.

"Why are you two laughing?" Both asked in confusion.

"Nothing!" Issa answered.

"Come on.. Our professor is coming!" I said.

We sat down on our chairs and the twi is still looking at us as if were keeping a secret on them....well slight! This professor is killing me!!!! I can actually sleep at this class and she won't be bothered. Urgh!!!! An hour and a half had pass... Finally, its time to go!

"Hey, going to the bathroom first. Go ahead I'll see you on the car." Issa uttered.

As i was walking towards the parking lot.... The two suddenly pop out in front of me.. "What the!!!!" I shouted.

"Is there something we need to know???" Betina questioned me with one eyebrow raised.

"Hold on, you guys! On Friday at my place. I'll tell you guys what's going on with me." I said.

From behind...

"What's happening this Friday?" Issa asked.

"Nothing, just a girl talk thingy. Bonding." I answered and Looking at her straight into her eyes as if Im still saying something to her.

"Oh! Yah! (Looking at Betina and Ella) you girls should come." Issa uttered.

"Okay then. On Friday!" Ella replied.
"We'll get going. I still need to pass by the grocery." Betina said.

"Hey, hop in. I'll drop you off." I offered them a ride.

"Alright then." Betina answered.

Issa turned on the radio and set the station... Everyone was singing crazy following the song "chandelier" that is currently playing.

"Here we are... See you tomorrow girls!" I said.

I continued driving and dropped off Issa then reach my house.

I went up to my room, since dinner would be like in a hour...and I fell asleep....
