CHAPTER 2

a pretty face with a kind-hearted soul

SHANIA'S POV:

I come back again to my comfort place after what just happened yesterday despite that I'm feeling happy today. I went earlier from the Smarta store, a convenience store, to buy some ice cream because I'm suddenly craving for it due to this hot weather. I bought some cold before going here. 

As I eat my ice cream, I recall the incident that happen yesterday. I didn't really expect someone to comfort me in my nine years of strolling there especially when I'm feeling  down. It's my first time to get console from someone who is handsome and has some bulky muscle. 

The way his gaze in my eyes making some hole on it. They sparkle like those expensive gold bar I see on T.V. His scent that making me....

"Hey, are you still not feeling well from those fights with your parents?", he wiped my mouths from the melt of my ice cream that I didn't notice.

"NO! It was all fine now, thanks to your advice that you tell me yesterday. It work well with my parents", a mixed emotion I feel from his sudden appearance without myself being on guard.

"I'm glad to hear that you made up with your parents. By the way, I'm sorry yesterday for my speed disappearance. I don't  "want to not get hop on that bus", he said with a lonely puppy eyes.

"Oh yeah. I was about to say "thank you" for the console and the handkerchief you give. Wait, I'll give it to you.... OMG! I THINK I FORGOT TO BRING IT WITH ME" pupil of mine dilute as I forgot to bring his handkerchief.

"No, it was okay and you can have it since I have extra spare of handkerchief in my house for my works", angelic tone he gives that make me feel at ease.

"REALLY?! Thank you but you really don't have to do it. Speaking of work, that's why you dress yourself with a formal attire like the pastel yellow suit you wear yesterday", trying to hide my blush from the thought that I'll be able to keep the handkerchief he give.

"Ah yes, I wear like that for work. That is also the reason why I was running for the bus yesterday, it's because of the work ", he tell me with those reassuring words.

"What kind of job did you work?", curiosity of mine are tickling that I wasn't able to control it.

"I'm an office worker on company XXX, one of the popular and well known paying company in America. How about you?", he asked me with those sweet voice he made.

"Me? I am just a book writer, it's just nothing special like yours", I said.

"No, it's not. Don't say that. It's a nice job you know, we're just the same since we also get paid enough  well", along with those sheep eyes that telling me to not say that.

"Yeah, yeah, you're true AHHAHAHA! Anyway, you're job still better than mine since you're able to wear handsomely everyday like that. I'm jealous", I laugh as I was amuse by his phrasing earlier along with his cute expression.

"Really?", he laugh awkwardly.

"I think I should get going", he smile at me differently with a bow.

"Ok then, bye. I have a good time chatting with you", my mouth blurt something that I should not be saying while trying to not feel embarrassed.

He waved at me while smiling in his window seat. As the bus is about to go, he wink at me suddenly and he face front as if nothing happens. I was shocked by his doing at that moment that I blank for at least 10 seconds and hurriedly look back away from his bus. 

I stare at my feet while blushing by his cute wink and handsome smile. I was in the verge of dying from the presence of him. Stunt was all in my head as I walk going on my house. I didn't expect that I didn't fall only for the face, but also in the kindness he gave also to me. He is the first guy I admire that has a pretty face with a kind-hearted soul.
