After Dad's birthday we went home. Mom and Dad were very happy because I brought Calyx and they talked for a while before we went home.
And gradually, the happiness I lost in the past came back to me.
I'm happy again.
A few weeks passed and Calyx visited me regularly. Sometimes he helps me in the shop to look after me. Good thing I have a TV so I just let him stay there while I sketched Maggie's gown.
It's almost done.
I yawned and stretched. I decided to stop for a while to rest. I peeked at Calyx who was now taking a nap. He was leaning on the backrest of the sofa with his eyes closed. I sat next to him and saw his hand crossed.
He had high cheekbones and a strong jawline. He's really handsome.
I will never get tired of looking at him.
"Done staring?"
My eyes widened.
I was about to leave his side when he pulled me back.
"You're faking your sleep,"
He chuckled.
"I sensed that someone was staring at me and had a crush on me."
I kicked him softly.
"You assume!"
He laughed at what I said. I bit my lip and couldn't help but smile too.
"You're done?" he asked.
I shook my head. "Just resting for a while,"
He nodded. "Are you hungry?"
I snorted and nodded.
He chuckled.
"I'll order food,"
He ordered food through Grab. I also set the table to put our food. When his order came, we ate. He ordered a lot. I just ate and stopped when I saw him staring.
"Why did you stop?" he asked smiling.
"I'm full,"
"Eat more," he said.
I shook my head.
"Later," I said.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded.
He smiled and took a tissue. I was surprised when he wiped the side of my lips.
"There's a ketchup,"
I snorted.
I put away what we ate and cleaned the table. Calyx protested to wash the dishes but it was too late when I washed them.
He just snorted while looking at me.
I smiled sweetly at him.
"Are you going to continue sketching?" he asked when he saw me finish washing.
I nodded.
"Can I watch?"
"Of course,"
He smiled.
Weeks had passed, I called Maggie and told her that I had finished the gown that she had me sketch. She was so excited then she invited me to their house.
I asked Calyx to come with me. After work, he agreed to follow, so I went to Maggie's place first.
"Oh my god! Thank you so much Kendra! This is so amazing!" Maggie said happily.
