Gone

Chapter 6

The program hasn't finish when Earth stood beside me. “I already made an excuse, you can go already.” He said and my eyebrow creased as I looked at him. Then I remembered. Earth just smiled at me. I thanked him and ran fast. I dont know how Earth knew. But I didnt ask him already. I glanced at my watch and looked around. When I didnt saw tay I stop running and put my hand on my knees to catch my breath. I thought Tay was gone when I heard my name being called. “Phi!” I turned around and saw Tay waving at me. I walked near him and apologized. “Im sorry, I almost forgot.” Tay smiled at me and replied. “Its fine Phi. We can still go there on time.” I nodded and we left.

All the lights turned on as the movie comes to end. I cant help but to smile. Its such a heart melting story. My heart flattered as it was really a great movie, very perfect for todays celebration of valentines. “Aww its done. Why it has to end? I wish it didnt." Tay laughed and said “Yeah, I wish it didnt end Phi.”
After we watched we ate at a fine dining restaurant. I was about to decline when Tay said that he got discount. When we sat I got a little awkward seeing couples around us. But as minutes goes by IM getting comfortable that I forgot the awkwardness. We ate and talked about a lot of things. Mostly about ourselves. I learned a lot about Tay. About how his parents decided to go to America and he asked if he could stay. His parents opposed at first but he asked for his aunts (Guns Mother) help. At the end he got their approval. When I talked about my parents, I got a hard time and Tay told me its okay if Im not comfortable but I want to tell Tay how they loved me so much, especially my dad. “ But my father died 6 years ago. I was too young back then… awww men. Hes the best man for us.” I said smiling. Tay reached for my hand and held it.
Tay accompanied me on the way home. We talked while walking until we got in front of our house not realizing. “Oh, were here!” I said shocked. I looked at Tay and said” Thanks for tonight Tay, I really did enjoy it.” “Im glad. Good night and happy valentines Phi New.” “Good night and happy valentines too, Tay.”
“Oh my New! What did I just heard from Tay? Ihhh how was it? You have to tell me everything in detailed.” It was already 2am in the morning and I was in the middle of sleeping when Gun called. “arghhh Gun seriously?” I said half asleep. “Yes! I want to know what happened, Tay wont spill anything aside from the fact that you guys dated on valentines. How romantic is that! What did you felt?” Gun asked giggling. “What are you talking-“I wasnt able to finish what Im saying when I heard a clattered. Followed by the sound of groaning. “Did you just fell from the bed?” I asked laughing. I got up from lying down and yawn. “What did I felt?” I repeat Guns question more likely to myself. “Something romantic, a feeling thats hard to explain and it makes you tingle and feels butterfly in your stomach.”
