Last Tales

First Tale ~~Last beat~~

               I run my fingers through my long brunette hair as the wind blew it to my face. While I sat on a bleacher watching the only guy whom I set my eyes on playing soccer.

              His name is Tyler, he’s been my best friend since kindergarten. He was sweet, thoughtful and gentle in his own way. I have loved him ever since I’ve known what love is. And util now, he didn’t know I do…

                “Hey Jules! How’s class?” he smiled then sat beside me

                I wonder there and then if he could hear my heart thudding erratically against my chest just having him this close to me. I wonder when I started noticing it myself.

                “The usual” I said smiling back at him. I lean forward, grab a towel then starts wiping sweat out his face. He was, in my eyes, the love of my life.

                “Well, that’s okay. Then, shall be go grab some ice cream? Well, if it was uhm okay with you…” I stood up and grin at him

                “Then what are we waiting for? Its ice cream were talking about, how can you still sit there? Get up, you sweaty boy! You keep me waiting here and it’s so hot, I could eat two orders of ice cream” I laugh as I saw him smirk then I started running prompting him to follow.  

                When we arrive in an ice cream parlor down town, I ordered chocolate mousse and so did he. We sat side by side as we munch our own ice cream. Mine, half empty while his is as whole as it was. I take a deep breath before I started facing him, I just get the feeling that he was looking at me and I was right. Our gaze met and we stare each othe for a moment. There was something in his eyes but I couldn’t quite figure out what. Then my knees start shaking as well as my hands so I put down the spoon and look away

                “W-what?” I ask without looking then, I suddenly change my mind ad turn to face him again. My smile comes in a lopsided way as I try to calm myself. He was just staring at you and you’re being pathetic! I try to reason out with myself but with a sign I give up trying

                He leans closer so that his face was inches away from me. I wanted to melt as his sea blue eyes never leave mine. He presses his thumb to a corner of my lips and gently brush something away. Moments like that are the times I wished for time itself to stop or even pause for that brief connection. I wanted, even longed to cling to him and tell him how I felt.

                When my thoughts are back to the present I was stunned, what is he doing to me? But as I stare at him he just smile and gradually back away.

                “You should learn how to take care of yourself Jules. I don’t want you to make a habit of having me around, wiping ice cream out of your face… It’s not that I don’t want to be around– the fact is… I always want to be here for you”

                With a swift move I reach out to him and kissed his cheek. I smiled and put a hand to were my lips brushes as I stare straight into his eyes

                “Then always be around me because I want you to always be here for me” He close his eyes and put his hand on top of my hand which still touching his face. I frown as he let out a sign. Why do I feel that he was hiding something from me? I shake off the idea. Everybody has entitled in having their on privacy.

                “Let’s meet up tonight. I want to tell you something.” I just nod. Maybe he was going to tell me after all what was that something that has been bothering him? Or maybe he was going to tell me something else… Just maybe
