We're Just Friends

CHAPTER 4: Being Friends

It's been how many days-oh wait, I mean weeks- since we've been chatting and we're starting to become very much updated with each other. He asks me how was my day and what else hapoened and how my thesis was. And I much likely do the same. I ask him how his day went and I ask him what else happened. Actually everytime I tell him all the problems I encountered on that day, he just tells me to ignore it and just think of happy thoguht and to not stress myslef out. Come to think of it. He was sweet and very caring. But yeah, I'm not falling for that move. I don't want to assume anything. I don't want to get hurt.

"Hey beautiful." He texted me.
"Beautiful? Since when did you ever start to call me beautiful?" I replied.
"Nothing. Just wanted to make your day. Good morning!" He texted back.
"Ahahah not a good joke. Anyways, good morning as well Justin" I replied as I stepped out of the my room all dressed up.
"Did I wake you up?" He asked.
"Nope. I got up early. I have to go a friendly picnic birthday party" I replied.
"Wow! Sounds fun! Where is it?" He texted. I realized he was a fast typer.
"Just at the park. Why'd you ask?" I replied back walking slowly towards the kitchen.
"Oh.. Nothin' who are going to go with?" He asked as if he was my boyfriend. But I wasn't mad.
"I'm going there by myself. I can maybe ride a bus or just a cab." I texted back.

Five minutes later.... My phone started ringing... I knew it Justin because I selected a very soecial ringtone for him. Well for some favorite contacts.
*Sugar, yes please won't you come and put it down on me...*
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hi! Are you eating breakfast?" He asked that first to make sure he didn't disturbed me.
"Yeah. But no harm done. What's up?" I said to make him sure that it was alright.
"Is your mom home?" He asked.
*my eyes widened"
"Nope. Why'd you ask?" I said.
"Since you're going out. Can I go with you?" He asked me.
"Wow! Are you sure? My friends at the park are very energetic they're gonna give you such a bodyache after this party. Are you sure?" I asked him.
"Yeah! I already took a bath and got all dressed up." He told me laughing.
"Wow really?! Haha well I wasn't expecting that. Haha okay maybe you can come with me." I told him.
"Yey! So.. I'll pass by your house?" He asked.
"Wow! So gentleman like. Hahah alright. See you in a bit. I have to brush my teeth already" I said.
"Okay. i'm on my way there. Give me five minutes. Bye. See you." He said and I put down my phone.
------------------------ FIVE MINUTES LATER ---------------------------
*Ding dong*
*Ding dong*
*Ding dong*
I opened the door from the apartment.
"Jeez Justin can't you wait for a-" I was shocked. It was him in font of my door and he brought me candies. My favorite.
"For you." He raised his left arm to show me the candies he bought.
"Thanks Justin. You know you didn't have to. Anyways give me one more minute okay? I just have to look for my wallet. Come in." I offered him to come in so that he won't be bored.
"Texting you beautiful wasn't actually appropriate. I should've said right now." He said while I my back was turned away from him.
"What do you mean?" Continuing to look for my wallet.
" I mean you look beautiful. You look very pretty." He conplimented me.
"Thanks Justin! I found my wallet! Let's go!"
"You look good too Justin. You know we're both wearing yellow." I told him.
*then we left*

---------------------------- JUSTIN'S POV -----------------------------------------

Oh wow... she's beautiful. She's so fun to be with. She's very shy though, she doesn't want to be called beautiful. But what I mean by beautiful is that it's not about her physical appearance, it her inner beauty as well. She's kind, friendly, helpful and she has a big heart.

Wait! Justin what are you talking about?! She's too good for me.

And I also can't be with her. I forgot. My vocation. Her mom.

I thank God I met her, but it's just my luck that became the problem. I'm a seminarian, I'll be a preist in the future. She's became a distraction. A beautiful one.

I can't fall in love with her. I have two choices here. It's either stay friends with her or love her.

Staying friends with her is the best choice, why? Becuase she won't get introuble with her mom and I wouldn't be teased because of her, not that I don't want her to be seen with me or anything, its just that I hate rumors, especially if those rumors are about me.

Loving her. Well, I'm fine with that. But then, my vocation will be lost, and I then have to go back home to my hometown, because I know having a girlfriend would probably get me kicked out of the seminary.

I have to choose wisely. It's either  I love her or just be friends with. That's it. And right now I choose to be friends with her. I wonder if she ever thought about this.

Oh.. We're here already. Okay. That's was quick. I think it only took us like ten minutes. We got out of the cab and then we walked going to the central tree in the park because she told me that is where her friend's venue for her picnic birthday party is.
