Nathaniel , a college student that is always picked on, sees the best attitude as being a cold hearted guy. Two girls in his college falls in love with him and it feels like he has no interest in them. They begin a tug of war for who gets him. Whi...
I was in my sitting room when I recalled millions of events that happened in college. I remembered my exact words to Tiffany. I felt a little bit of regret. I was so lost in thought that my mom screamed my name.
I blinked severally to recover. " Um.... yeah." I answered, averting my whole attention to her. She sighed. " You and your thoughts again." She sat besides me handing me brownies.
She kept a pillow on her thighs and I didn't hesitate to place my head on it. She caressed my hair at different angles and I could perceive her romantic perfume. I felt more than comfortable. I'm so glad today is Sunday. I had absolutely nothing to loose.
" Nath , Vedica is coming over today." She said calmly and I nearly flew off her.
" What, why?" My heart was pounding inside my chest. I was already off her thighs. " She's a family friend. Forget the past. A kiss is a kiss and she's all grown up now. I don't think she'd remember it." My mom just had to remind me of the kiss.
When I was just 11, I was madly in love with her. Those days, I used to watch nasty adult movies. My head was filled with bad thoughts and how I'd love to practice everything I learnt on her.
One day, mom left for shopping with Vedica's mom and left us alone with the maiden.
The maiden was doing her chores meanwhile, I yanked Vedica into the playroom with me. She was so young, innocent, spotless, gullible, naive, nice and so pretty.
She asked me what I wanted to do and I could even give her a reply, I kissed her. Her eyes were widely open and she looked at me still in shock.

Soon later, she bit my lips and ran away. Immediately her mom got back, she reported me and my mom scolded me. Her mom just laughed it off. Whenever Vedica and her mom came visiting, id always lock myself inside my room and not come out.
My mom would always call for me but I'll always ignore her calls.
On her thirteenth year old birthday, she made me be her prince to walk around with her. True, I still had strong feelings for her but, I was still embarrassed and in shame.
" Don't be hard on yourself." These were her exact words on her birthday and she walked away, smiling.
She's the only girl, I've had true feelings for.
" How wouldn't she remember it. It happened six years ago." I was panicking and my mom sighed.
" You know that you really like Vedica. Why don't you stop asking why she's coming and dress to impress her. Don't act silly when talking to her, please." Mom advised and I dashed out of the sitting room.
"Okay mom!" " Oh sweetheart..."
My heart was pounding inside my chest. I really am so stupid. Since that happened, I've never apologized. I'm always procastinating it. What if she really has forgotten it. What if she has a boyfriend already. What if she's not interested in me. I wonder how big she will be now. I remember how little she was then. Little and innocent.
I hurriedly wore my favourite colour of shirt, black and wore her favourite colour of shorts, dark green. I washed my face, combed and dryed my hair.
I quickly sprayed some perfume and also took mint. Just in case. Not like I'm planning to do something silly. I looked in the mirror for the last time and smiled. Maybe that's why I love her. Because her hair is so plain, short and black.
What a stupid reason to love a girl. My heart was pounding but I couldn't wait. I went downstairs to meet mom, only to see her on the phone. I began eavesdropping.
" That's nice. So how long would it take for you guys to get here?" That question choked me and I wanted to hear the reply.
" Oh, that's not much time. You guys really are close. We are so excited to see you. Safe journey back." And she hung up. I took a deep breath and jogged downstairs.
" Mom, who was that?" I asked, pretending. " Oh, Maria. She said she and Vedica are almost here. Aren't you happy?" She teased. " Mom." I called coldly and she chuckled. " Come on. I'm just teasing you." She left for the kitchen to bake an apple pie. I sat on the couch, thinking....
*About her*
Imagining what she'd look like now. How big or small she'll look. How long, curly or plain her hair would be? I wanted them to come quickly. Soon, I nearly slept off. I wasn't asleep but I know I wasn't hearing anything happening in my environment.
" Nathaniel!!!" I quickly got up " Yes, mom." I answered, breathing heavily. " Get the door." I left to get it. " Nathy!" And I was being cuddled in aunt Maria's arms. I totally forgot they were coming.
Speaking of they, where is Vedica. " You're all grown up now. Goodness, Eva, your son is a Diva King now. He's looking so charming and attractive." My mom left the kitchen to welcome our guest. My mind was on Vedica. Nothing else.
" Less I forget..." Aunt Maria spoke. ".... Could you go help me fetch some stuffs from my car. Be quick, darling." I nodded and tiredly, I left.
As I walked to the car, my hands were in my pockets and I was thinking of Vedica.
What would I say if I saw her? I've forgotten what she looks like. I was too distracted that I bumped into something light. I didn't give it a bit of concern so I walked past it. I opened the booth of the car and saw travelling bags, in there.
" Wait, they are staying?" I thought out loud.
" Hey, mister charming. You pushed me down and, if course we are staying. Who are you?" Instantly, my gaze lifted from the booth, to the soft but thin female voice.
First as I was about looking at the figure, I said to myself, there's no way it would be Vedica. Pffth.
Finally, my gaze caught with hers. I kept so mute than ever.
" Who the hell are you?" She asked again. I couldn't tell if this was really Vedica. I noticed it was her because of her blue eyes. A faint smile curved my lips and I walked up to her. Her cheeks became red and her fingers vibrated.
She was a bit short cause I was looking down, at her. " Vedica?" I called and she blinked severally. " Um..... yeah." She replied a bit lost. I couldn't help but hug her. She was heating up, badly. I knew what that meant. It took her a bit of time to wrap her arms round my torso.
".... N....nathaniel?" Oh God, she remembered. I broke the hug and smiled. " Yeah, it's me." I replied.
" W....what? No. I mean, it can be you but this isn't you. Not like you can't be this but I know this isn't you. Grrrhh!!" She stuttered so much, making me chuckle.
" Why do you think that?" I could help but ask.
Her cheek became a pink hue and she hid her lips in her mouth.
" Um.... nothing really." She replied and I laughed out loud. She pouted, upsettingly. I took her left hand in mine. " You look so georgeous. I admire that. Welcome home, Vedica." This was the sincere truth. All my imaginations of her were made even better.
She had very pretty long and curly milk and pink hair. She was light skin in complexion and her ocean blue eyes were so captivating. Her shape was as that of a model.
She nearly choked after I said that. " Yeah. I mean, thanks. You too." She stuttered.
" Come on, stutterer. Let's get your luggages." I teased and she pouted so cutely. Gosh, she was just so adorable.
I realized that she was always staring deep at me, whenever I wasn't looking. Was that how georgeous I looked?
