While I'm waiting for Kris to order, someone texted me..


"Hey! Asisstant, where are you?" –received 9:00 am

"Here at the restaurant with Kris." –sent 9:08 am

"I'm going home now." –received 9:19 am

"Ok. Take care." –sent 9:23 am


Finally! Kris is here in our table.


"Wow! So many."

"Let's eat."

"Yeah!"


After an hour...


"*burp* Excuse me."

"HA-HA! Are you done eating?"

"Yes."

"Can we go now, Jess?"

"Where?"

"To my favourite place when I need to think and resolve some problems."

"Let's go."


** Rikugien Garden


It's a flat area where the ground is full of grass and beautiful flowers.

All we do in that place is sit and talk about ourselves.

Its 5:00 pm already and this time the sun slowly goes below the horizon called sunset.


"Is this the first you saw sunset, Kris?"

"No"

"Oh"

"But this is the first time I saw sunset with someone I love."


I just look at him and stare at him for a while. I think, it's been 3 or 2 days we met and he already loves me?


"Kris, do you love me already?"

"It's not hard to love you"


I just smiled..


"Kris, I have questions."

"Sure."


He's still looking at the sunset.


"Am I pretty?"

"No."

"Do you want me to be with you forever?"

"No."

"Will you cry if I walked away?"

"No."

"Fine!"


I heard enough I need to leave...

As I walked away he grabbed my arm and told me to stay.


"You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die."


I smiled and he makes me blush...

I sit again..


"Jess, if I told you that I liked you, would you take it as a joke?"

"Yes, I would."

"Why?"

"Because I know you don't like me, I know you love me!"


He smiled and said...


"Can I court you?"

"Why so fast?"

"If I tell it tomorrow, why now? What if you left me again?"

"Again? Why? Why again?"

"You don't remember?"

"No."


I'm confused.


"When we we're graduating in high school you said that you will be studying in New York."

"I told that?"

"Yes."

"In New York? I remember, studying in New York but i don't remember saying it to anyone."

"Yes, you told me."

"I can't remember."

"You tell me that."

"And I can't remember you from my 12th grade memories."

"It's ok. The important is the present."

"So, when we we're in 12th grade you already love me?"

"Actually, since in 7th grade but I hear that you and Ryle is in a relationship when we we're in 8th grade so, I just shut my mouth and stop believing that you will notice me and when I'm ready to confess my love for you, you need to leave and study abroad."

"Really? Oh my gosh. I really don't know you."

"So, as I'm asking, Can I court you?"

"But we're returning in the Philippines after this month."

"I will follow you there. Our relatives are there so, I can live there."

"How about your mom?"

"She is with my dad so, no worries."

"Hmmm.."

"So, your answer is? Can I court you?"

"Yes, of course."
