Hey sunnyshines!! I just want to inform you guys that I have decided to change the title of the story to Do I want him or him? from Can he be the one? :)



The heat from the sunlight shines through the window and wakes me up from my slumber. Stretching my body like how cats do when they wake, before sitting upright. I had fallen asleep again in front of the laptop on my bed; like every other day. I should start being stricter with myself, a good night sleep is important in order for one to stay healthy and be happy in life.

Walking pass my vanity to place my papers and laptop on the little compartment bench at the side. Sitting down on the chair in front of the mirror, I scan my reflection. Bed hair doesn't suit me at all, I can't imagine if I had sex hair it'd probably be much worst. Then again it's not like anybody would want to, then again maybe Charles would. Hah! I'm getting ahead of myself on this early morning. Just because he was so sweet and romantic yesterday. I take a deep breadth and stretch my arms upwards before I remembered the 'Harry and Lee' situation next door. Smiling like a little girl, I tighten my wrap around myself and get my hair back in order before leaving my room.

The aroma of fresh grounded coffee fills my nostrils as I made my way to the kitchen. I see Harry, leaning against the counter with a cup in his hand as he smile widely to himself.

"Good morning~ You're in a very happy mood this morning?" I tease with an arch eyebrow and little smirk.

Before Harry could reply, "Don't tease him you little minx. What time did you come back last night?" Lee joins us wearing only Harry's overalls that stops mid thigh.

"I got back like around 6.30. Charlie got a case today that he has to prepare so we had to end the day earlier."

"Charlie? We have nicknames now huh? Haha Did you had a good time?"

"Yes I did. We had a Italian theme day, haha after lunch we continue with gelato for dessert after our Italian lunch."

"That's sounds simple and sweet. What about him? How was he as a guy?" Harry asks.

"He is well charming, very charming and he gave me butterflies and yet he makes me feel beautiful and also make me feel really comfortable around him"

"That is awesome. Not many guys can male a women feel that way. Ahh~I'm so happy right now. Cause I found mine the day you may have found yours." Lee exclaims before leaning into Harry and gives him a peck on the lips. Harry blushes, places his cup down and wraps his arms around Lee's waist; leans in and kisses her forehead. "Well I'm glad you feel that way. I'm happy too, very happy"

"N'awwww! Why are you guys already so adorable?" I squeal happily.

The both of them just smiles and joins in my excited laughter. The three of us stayed in the kitchen and cook breakfast together before classes starts. Harry left after breakfast to get a change of clothes.


I decided to wear a semi casual and formal wear for today. Light wash jeans with grey and white blouse with knitted mid section and see-through sleeves; Mum bought for me as a congratulations gift for getting into Princeton.

In the midst of getting ready I realize that I didn't message Charles that I had safely reached on home last night. I started searching for my phone; I had a miss call, a voice mail and two messages for me. I checked on the miss call and saw that it was from Charles. My lips break into a smile as yesterday's date came to mind. I had a pretty good time with him yesterday and wouldn't mind at all if he asked for another. I open the voicemail and listen, "Hey beautiful, I guess you forgot about texting me and probably busy catching up with your roommate. Nevertheless, I got worried, something could have happened when you made your way home. Please do reply to my message or give me a call back to ease my mind."

Charles is such a gentleman. He is so caring and sweet. He would make a perfect husband. He would give the one he loves anything she wants and everything he has to offer. A family with him would be a happily ever after.

The messages were one from Charles informing me that he has safely reached home, while the other one was from Michel. My heart skipped a beat as I saw his name.

His message read, "Hey Princess, I hope you had a good date... Just want to book you before hand this time. Tomorrow, lunch with this knight in shining armour. Meet you in the canteen at 12pm. P.S: Well actually, I don't hope you had a good time with that Charming. It's more of the opposite. :p"

Such a boy.

I replied to both of them, agreeing to Michel's "early booking" and also apology message to Charles.

Lee and I left the apartment at a quarter past 9, and made our way to campus.

"So... Come on spill on the details~"

"What details?"

"Don't play dumb with me you wench..."

"Alright alright... Well you've always known my rule on not making friends into lovers right?"

"Yes..."

"Well when before he gave me that sudden kiss when we knock our heads together accidentally... He said, Natalee, I have never seen you as just a friend. The moment you stepped into the class, you green eyes and fire red head took my heart away... And I am going to kiss you now, if you don't stop me I take it as you feel the same way about me..."

"No way... I didn't know Harry had good romantic lines in him... No... never can imagine he had that in him... So I take it as the only reason for not stopping your lips meeting him is that the you realize deep inside... That you had always seen him as something more...?"

"Yes... Elle... it's so obvious you're my best friend slash sister. You read me like a book.." Lee blushes. Seeing the joyful, cheeky girl that frequently gets regular hookup blushes like a schoolgirl is beyond me. I could tell that her feelings for Harry was deeper than she realizes I hope both of them last till their grey and old.

The love birds get reunited as we arrive for the first class. Everyone knew the moment Lee joins Harry at the table, Harry kisses her forehead. The class suddenly filled with oohs and aahs. They have no problem holding back the over flowing feelings that they have for each other. I somehow felt a little envy of them.

The professor arrive and classes starts. The topic that he is covering is interesting as always. Learning and expanding my knowledge about the historical period and their material artifacts. I can never get bored of learning. Especially on the things that I have interest in.

"Alright, I think that's enough fun facts for now. Let's take a ten minute break before we go on..."

"Hey Lee, I'm going lunch with Michel today..."

"OH?! He texted you?

"Yeah last night..."

"What about Charles?"

"What you mean? What has it got to do with him?"

"Elle, you went on a date with him yesterday. Today it's Michel's turn?"

"Lee, it's not a date. It's just two.. err friends that is in a contract to find the other a partner. It's basically a legal verbal contract..."

"Woah... verbal contract? One date and you're all legal... Hahaha! Well if you say so, but I just want to remind you that its not fair to Michel or to Charles if you keep going back and forth..."

"I know... Thanks Lee..."

Class resumes but her words keep ringing in my head.

Am I really going back and forth? Do I still like Michel and moved on to Charles?I hung out with the both of them only for a day... Who do I like more? Michel or Charles?

I have no idea. I think I'm in trouble...

I like the both of them....
