Matt and I went back to normal, oh wait I thought I used the wrong word, I should say new normal. What I meant about new normal was we were better than before, he has totally changed. He was nicer and sweeter than before. I was enjoying every single hour with him, every single day seemed like another memory that I will treasure. Matt was my life. After that day of our heart- to- heart talk in his car last time, we never opened it up again. The case was close. I didn’t even saw Trixia for the past few days. Even my brother wasn’t telling me anything about her anyway she didn’t matter at all. I was happy and I was contented with my life. Last time I checked, Matt and I celebrated our fifteenth monthsary [it’s like anniversary but they celebrated every month] of our boyfriend- girlfriend relationship. He surprised me with a candlelit dinner in our favorite restaurant. He also gave me bouquet of my favorite rose, and guess what made me cried? Clue: He did those fifteen months ago. Yes he played his guitar and sang to me a song that was an original composition of him. I missed the moment he sang to me on the bar when he proposed me to be his girlfriend. I totally lost my selfish, immature, insensitive and careless boyfriend, but anyway he’s still braggart (in his cute way─ hahaha).
“Baby, let’s go. I know I’m handsome but stop looking at me that way, I’m kinda feeling melting.” See that? That’s Matt bragging himself again.
He was standing in front of me wearing his killer smile. I didn’t even notice that he was coming because I was daydreaming of him. I was kinda reminiscing the memories that we had remember? I almost forgot that we’re going to his house today. His mom invited me to have snack on their house after class and of course I didn’t hesitate to come. I miss his mom, it has been so long since I last saw Aunty Leah ‘cause she’s like my parents, always out of the town and sometimes out of the country for their business. Did I already mention that Matt lost his dad when he was still a kid? Yes. That’s why he lived with his mom all these years, anyway more I can say, he lived alone most of the time. He had a brother Christian but he lived in France so that made him really lived alone in his house. Anyways, his mom hated it when I was calling her Aunty Leah; she told me that I should call her MOM since she knew that I and Matt will be together for the rest of our lives. I felt so flattered with that conclusion, but there was nothing wrong in hoping that it will come true. Aunty Leah knew me for so long since Matt was my childhood best friend before he became my loving boyfriend.
“Miss Collin, Mrs. Miller is waiting for us, she might get mad to both of us if we don’t arrive in her house in ten minutes.” Matt whispered to my ear.
“Oh yes I’m sorry. I lost my mind. Let’s go. Mom will get mad.” Then I laughed.
While on our way to their house, I couldn’t help myself from smiling at him.
“Why do you keep on smiling? Is there something funny?” He asked me when he noticed my oddity.
“Nothing. I couldn’t just imagine how I fall in love with you.” I joke then smiled.
He pinched my nose. “You naughty girl! How will you not fall in love with me, look, I’m a look alike of Tom Cruise.” Then he winked.
I felt my jaw fell as I heard my braggart boyfriend.
“You know what, aside from being cute, that was what made me fall in love with you, you bragging yourself.”
I love it when he was bragging himself just to make jokes. Hahaha. And then I realized we were already in front of his house. I missed his house. I miss the white fence, the small garden in front and the swing.
