HER

𝙁𝙄𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙔𝙊𝙐

Take note: Carla and Simon are not studying anymore in college; they both stopped and focused more on making money and being practical because they both are financially stable and geniuses. Some people buy diplomas and education and claim they study, but for them, their goal is business and their own interests.

What he said that night really proved it to me: he always shows up every day with a flower and hand-made letters, plans everything, and asks a lot of questions.

Every day, every night, he is not tired of showing me and updating me that he is really serious about courting me. Even in my office, all of a sudden, someone sent me some flowers out of nowhere. I don't use any social media because even without that, people know me already, so I don't need that.

And he always brings food that I like. He is really a man of his words. Sometimes I test him. I invite him to have a date. I know he is busy that day. I buy a new car and park it in the darkest part of the parking lot. This made me shocked. Our meet time is 8 p.m. Yes, I like night dates. At 6 p.m., I stay there because I would like to test him. This made me really shocked because when I go to the darkest part of the parking area, there are two cars that go to the restaurant. He rents the restaurant and the place. He checks everything and looks around to see if there is danger. Why he is here this early and then opens his laptop and works really blows my mind.

He is still handsome, and he falls asleep. That's when I go out with these non-branded cars and go to my condominium and dress classy again to meet him. I mean, he is really something.

One time I remembered that every time he saw something I liked or talked about, he always said something like, "Carla, you like this one, diba? Oh, she doesn't like that; oh, this one is too plain for her." He sometimes advises me what to wear, and now I'm curious if I look weird in my previous styles because his style is so freaking perfect.

He is good at everything : he can cook, sing, and dance; he is smart in business; he has goals and discipline; he has hobbies and instruments; he can do everything, and this made me wonder if he is really a person.

One time I remembered I was tempted to show my attitude side; he really can't be pissed, and kesa siya ang maasar ako lang ang maaasar oo na pikon ako.

Minsan gusto ko siyang itulak sa pader tignan ko kung tatagos siya o kaya batukan sa sobrang lakas nya mang asar dahil iniinis ko di man lang nababanas.

One of the best moments that I remember with him is that we went to some peace because I don't like noisy people. It was a province, kung saan may magandang view. I was reading and minding my own business. One thing about me is that I don't like noisy people when I'm busy, and he was just reading books too. That's why he is quiet. I know this is weird, but his presence really makes me feel like there's someone who can be with me and understand me.

"I know I'm handsome. Is there something bothering you, my Carla?" Made me blink many times, roll my eyes, and go to him and put the coffee I have for the both of us and sit next to him and look at the sunset.

"Why are you so quiet?" I looked at him again, and he stopped reading, wet his lips, and looked into my eyes.

"Because I know you hate noisy people when you are minding your own business." Butterflies flew in my stomach at what he said. Yes, I know he has been staring ever since we were ten.

"Simon, please be honest with me." I said that, and he rested his back, waiting for me to say something.

"Why do I feel like you are watching me so much? Why do I feel like you know me, like our souls connect to one another, like you always understand and have always been like that? Even when I show you the real me, I know it's not unexpected Carla, you wanted that classy and gentle and I don't know why you making me feel like this? He smiled, and he kissed my hand.

"Yes, my Carla I've been watching you for a while, and there's no word that can express how much I love you or why I'm being like this. I'm so sorry if I'm not a man who is good with words. I'd rather have my actions than my words, and since you've been asking me a lot of questions and you want to be honest, this time I will confess, Yes, Carla, I've been watching you ever since we were ten, and I don't rival you. You motivate me to be the man that you deserve, and no, my dear, whatever you are, I'm willing to accept everything." He stopped and wiped the tears from my eyes because I don't even know why I deserve a man like this with my evil attitude.

"Take your time to see me as a man that you want my Carla." I'm willing to wait any number of years, centuries, or moments for you to open your heart to me. I know that there's a secret in your heart that wants to explode, but you don't know if it will be accepted by the world. I love you because you are you, Carla."

"What if I use you?" I said
"Please use all of me," he said.
"What if I lied and said I liked you?" I said
"I don't regret anything," he said.

He's still wiping my eyes, and I admit everything that really happened, and he still has that smile.

"I don't care because I already know that whatever you are, take time to bloom, and your secret is safe with me; there's nothing wrong if that is you." That was when I started finding you.
