FOURTEENTH

Each year on February 14, people exchange cards, candy, or flowers with their special "valentine." The rooftop is filled with balloons, flowers, and lights. That particular day, Ansel decided to confess his love for Ingrid.

As Ingrid and Mannex entered the rooftop, Ansel is standing with a bouquet of roses with books.

"What is this?" Ingrid asked.

"Valentine's surprise." Ansel clered his throat. "Caia Ingrid Bartholome, may I court you?"

"Is this a prank? H-Hey..."

"No, it's not."

Ever since they were in high school, Ingrid liked Ansel. They have the same personality, so that made Ingrid fell for him. Ansel is a gentleman.

Mannex breaks the awkward silence. "I need to go guys, something urgent came up."

"Bummer. Okay, bro. Let's just catch up next time, I guess?"

"Yeah, I gotta go."

"R-Ride safely." Ingrid seems to be out of herself.

"Ingrid?"

"I-I didn't expect this Ansel. I don't know w-what to say. My heart is just beating so fast. I'm freaking flustered right now!"

Ansel chuckled. "You're cute."
