*Recap*
“Well, you are.” I smiled upon hearing his reply. Suddenly he leans closer to me, slowly taking his time, giving me plenty of time to push him away. But I didn’t. I let him come closer to me. As his lips comes closer to mine…

"Alex!" We knocked our foreheads together because we were shocked hearing the sudden shout of his name. We both turn just in time to see Joyce coming in the room while carrying a tray.
"Yeah?" He answered, as he rub the hurt spot on his forehead.
"I have some snacks for you and Lucky since I heard you both are staying here while the rest go out. Here you go." She hand him the tray and he set it down on the couch. Joyce walked away but not before reminding us that she will be in the kitchen if we need anything. My eyes glanced on the tray. She had prepared for us sandwiches, that is filled with cheese and slice tomatoes, two small bowls filled with cubed fruits and 2 cups of hot chocolate. The best snack prepared I must say. I made eye contact with Alex, and I blushed a little so I grab a sandwich and nibbled slowly on it. Alex did the same but took a big bite on it. Boys.
We ate in silence as the awkward atmosphere around us sets in. Unanswered questions buzzed around my head like bees. Were we about to kiss? Does Alex like me? Do I like Alex? What about Zayn?
"Ahem..." I looked up at him as I heard him clear his throat. "Um...About just now, sorry about it."
"Sorry?" Confusion cast on my face.
"Yeah, got caught up in the moment. I didn't want to kiss you. I mean, I do want to kiss you...um...wait, no. I mean, I can kiss you..if I could, but I can't. You have feelings for Zayn and I'm taking advantage of your vulnerability right now." He scratched at the back of his neck nervously and his eyes fix on the ground as he talked to me. I smiled at his cuteness showing.
"Alex," I reached out to pulled his hand from scratching. "I understand. You don't have to feel sorry about what just happended. It's partically my fault too. I got too caught up with liking someone that I get my feelings confused when I'm with you." He gave me his signature lopsided smile.
"Zayn is one lucky guy to have a beautiful girl by his side since young."
"Yeah, I just wish he sees me in a different light."
"Lucky, one day someone will look at you in that light." I smiled at him. Alex is such a sweet guy. It's ridiculous he doesn't have a girlfriend.
"Hey, Alex. Do you have a girlfriend?" He looked up at me as he grab his second sandwich.
"Well, I did. But it's more of an on and off relationship. We broke up and made up, over and over again. Until we realised that we couldn't keep going over the process again and again so we broke up for good. Now she's happily with another guy and I'm here." I nodded along, as I listen to his story.
"Oh. So do you still in contact with her?"
"Yeah. We basically grew up together, so we know each other inside out. We are still friends until now."
"Can I see her picture?" He nodded and took out his phone. After a few minutes of him clicking his phone, he finally pass it to me. In his phone, it shown him with a girl. She has straight brunette hair, with dark blue eyes. It maybe the lighting in the picture, because it's quite dark. Both are smiling, showing their teeth. Overall, she looks so pretty. "She's pretty."
"She is. That picture was taken just recently before I came here. Her brother got married so she was my date."
"Doesn't it feel weird since you guys had a long history together?" He shooked his head after sipping on his hot chocolate.
