Chapter 23

Liz:

Open your eyes Liz. You might be hurting someone now.

Those words from Dave kept on resounding in my head since yesterday. Those were his words to me before he went home. What does he mean? Who am I hurting? Him? How? What made him say that? I really do not understand. Maybe I should ask Vince…but, I am too shy to approach him.

Too shy? Since when I’ve become shy to him? Why should I be? And when do I start to care about what he thinks of me? And a voice in my head spoke to me: when you start to be aware of your feelings for him. I don’t have feelings for him! I thought to myself. But you’re starting to. No. Yes; that’s the reason why you keep distant from him – to keep yourself from falling for him.

Alright, I give up. I am starting to fall in love with Vince. But who cares? He might have said all the things to Elaine before he said it to me and did the things he did to me to her too. He’s a jerk, remember? But I have to admit…every act of kindness he did, I want to believe it.

But I am not supposed to. Because maybe, just maybe, those are all lies. All of the guys are the same.

Last night when we got home, though all of us were exhausted, Mom insisted that she get Vince’s and my body measure so she can start working out with our attire for Saturday. And yeah, I cling to him always – we were always linked by our hands interlocked with each other. I kind of like it, honestly. The sensation of his hands to mine really felt different. I do not understand. And to be honest, he really made me feel like I am his princess and that I am taken cared of very well – at least for last night.

A kiss on my forehead woke me up this morning. With my still sleepy eyes, I can barely see who was here. I can feel another weight beside me but a silhouette is all I can see. It is when the voice spoke that I was fully awakened.

“Wake up, sleepyhead.” said the voice. I can even feel the person move closer to me.

Gently, I rubbed my finger over my eyelids to clearly see what or who is in front of me. In my surprise, I saw his face a few inches from mine. He was smiling. “Wake up. You don’t want to be late do you?”

“Vince, what are you doing here? Get off my bed!” I said. It is only then that I realized I’m trapped between his arms on my sides.

Although I’m struggling to escape from him, he still won’t move. “Not unless you get up.”

I’m still trying to push him away.”How can I get up if you’re blocking my way?! Get off!”

“What? I can’t hear you?” he said, probably to annoy me. Yes, he is annoying me. I knew because he turned his ears to me and moved his face closer to mine. “What did you say?”

“Get lost Vincent Coax!” I yelled as I shoved him away. I got annoyed easily – usually when mornings.

Using all my strength, I successfully pushed him off the bed. But the unfortunate thing is…I fell off with him – which resulted to the most awkward position ever in my life. He was lying flat on the floor and I was positioned on top of him. Our face was just centimeters apart and the tips of our nose touched.
