Love Him...Not

Dream

Shine smile though she can't hear or read Yuzuru's lips. Shine waits until Yuzuru is completely out of her sight before she enter their house.

Shine open the door and see that Allen is also preparing to leave.

"Allen, are you leaving now too?" Shine asked.

"Ah yes" Allen said with a smile.

"Shine, see Allen out too" Mom ordered.

"Goodnight to you all, see you guys again" Allen said his farewell as he wave them goodbye and walk out thru the door.

Shine unwillingly follow Mom and see Allen out too. Though, she can't tell if she's just tired that's why she is unwilling to follow her mother. Or she just really don't want to see Allen leave too.

Once outside, Allen suddenly stop and sit in the stairs —3 or 4 feet away from the entrance. Shine copy and sit beside him.

"So...Shine how's your day with him?" Allen hesitantly asked and lower his head.

"I...enjoy it...thank you" Shine hesitantly answer.

Allen looked up straight.

"Do you like him?" He asked Shine directly.

Allen's too direct question surprises Shine. She turn her face to look at him but she don't know how to answer his question.

"Allen..." Shine said.

Allen then shake his head and speak first,  hindering Shine from answering.

"No! don't answer that. Of course you'll like him, he is a 'ladies man'. I'll admit that physically, though he still need a little fat, he's attractive" He said and sigh.

"...but he's not as attractive as me though hahaha" Allen added and laugh at his own joke.

"ha...ha...ha" Shine laugh sarcastically at his joke. But she become serious as she continue.

"It's not like that, Allen. I don't like a man just because of his physical appearance" Shine defended herself.

"I know! I am just telling you that you shouldn't make any haste decision yet, Shine" Allen said to her.

Allen then looked directly into Shine's eyes but he didn't say anything. Shine can see something in his eyes; something that she already saw from Yuzuru's eyes earlier.

"What's this? Is there something I should know?" Her thought.

Allen break his eye contact with her when he stand up.

"I'll get going now, Shine" Allen suddenly said.

Shine also stands up and clean the dirt in her pants. Allen look at her as she still cleaning her pants.

"I can't pick you and Min for the mean time. I think I'am going to be very busy"Allen informed her.

Shine instantly looked at Allen when she heard him.

"Busy? About what?"She then asked him.

"Soon I'll tell you. And I also want you to miss me more"Allen answer and give Shine a naughty smile.

"I did miss you especially when you left" Shine truthfully said in her mind.

Shine rolled her eyes at Allen.

"Yeah Right!" Shine said instead with sarcasm in her voice.

Allen laugh with Shine's reaction.

"Well, you know absence makes the heart grow fonder. Who knows, maybe, one day you does apply it to me" Allen said and laugh.
