Hey Guys, Mklfpy (mer-li-fee) here. Hope you enjoy chapter 3. Btw, the bolded and italic-ed parts below are lyrics from the song 'Crush' and you can click play on the video above. Hope you like it! XOXO
YIKES! I can see him. He looked different from the last time we met which was 2 years ago at the class chalet. Gosh, why am I fangirl-ing outside mac like a retard... I went in sheepishly after virtually slapping myself at least twice, slowly approaching the guy that have not left my mind for the estimated past 4 years. Before I manage to approach him, he looked up at the most perfect timing, making eye contact with me and smiling, saving me from the awkward hello at the same time, melting my heart. "Hi, you've grown", he laughs.
Why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you, you got me hypnotized, so mesmerized and I've just got to know.
Be cool Ave, be cool. I gave him a fake shock expression and sarcastically replied, "no lah, people do not grow, what are you talking about" shooting him an unimpressed look. He chuckled.
Great job Ave, you're an idiot.
I guess he noticed my awkwardness (it was so obvious), and try to relax the atmosphere by talking about how is he (in a totally non-arrogant way), which is exactly what I really wanted to know as well. He suddenly paused, "aren't you hungry? Sorry I kept rambling on about my life, though I am pretty curious about yours too. You want to get something to eat before we continue?" I laughed and nodded. "Okay milady'", he stood up and bowing a little "what would you like to have?" I smiled awkwardly as this is a fast food restaurant but was swooning inside. I was just staring at him, blankly and he probably thought that I did not know what to order, "would you like the Chicken one, fish one,, spicy one or the diet one?" he suggested mimicking a British accent.
Do you ever think when you're all alone. All that we can be, where this thing can go? Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush?
I was too preoccupied with his face only to be surprised that he finish speaking "...one?". "huh?" that was the first thing and maybe the most retarded word that came out of my mouth when I came back to reality. "Your order?" he laughs. "Oh, sorry. I would like... a... Chicken burger meal, ice lemon tea, thanks." "Your wish is my command", he smiles and proceeds with taking my order and leaving me to take care of our belongings while he orders. I am wondering whether cupid's arrow stuck too deep into my heart or that I am just dreaming, he always seemed like a superhero to me and that never fails to melt my heart. I suppose that is not a bad start right? Gosh, if my heart keeps beating like that, I am going to get a major heart attack. No can do, really need help!
Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way you do? 'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away. But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy. Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
I turned to my phone for help, flipping through my contact list looking for the perfect name to cry to for help. 'A... Aaron. Adaline. Alexandra. Alicia. Aloysius. Amanda. Anna. Annabel. Ariel. Audrey...' Wait, AUD! Always go to my best friend for help. Dialing. Dialing. Dialing. God Aud, Pick up!!!!!
Aud: Hey babe.
Me: S.O.S hun'. Capital H.I.M at GO, intermission right now.
Aud: Say whaaaat. Girl, What does that even mean? Breathe babe, breathe.
Me: I'm out, with HIM. He is queuing buying food, that is why i can call you. But he is going to be back soon, so I'm talking fast.
Aud: Dayum. You are out with the legendary him? Wow girl, where did you get your guts from? Why didn't I hear about this earlier? Hmm?
Me: yeah well, long story and I promise to explain to you some other time please? SOS? I'm freaking out bad. What do I do?
Aud: HA! I knew your guts were borrowed. Just chill babe, he agreed to meet you, it shows he wants to hear what you want to tell him.Chillax and say all that you want to say. Be it his decision, which may I remind you it is his choice, you are going to get that huge pressure off your chest.
Me: I hope so. I also hope I can get everything in my head out to my mouth... Thanks love, I knew I love you for something. Oh man, shit, incoming. Got to go. Talk to you later.
Aud: Eh! Remember to tell me everyt...
Talking to Aud is almost magical but unfortunately it needs to be cut short. My anxiety was flushed away in those mere minutes and finally, my heart managed to settle down slowly as he approaches.
Has it ever crossed your mind, when we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends? Is there more, is there more?
