Expect The Unexpected

"I'm going to make you fall inlove with me"

Over the weekend I thought of how to approach Agnus. Until Monday came, work mode again. I quickly completed my duties and went off searching for Agnus. Floor by floor until I reach the top but he was no where to be found. Just when I was about to give up, I saw a ray of light from a quartered open door at the end of the hallway. As I get closer, the wind was strong and the air was humid. The sky was so clear and so bright. The view was beautiful, the city, the little people.

"What's up, Scarlet?"

My happy mood suddenly turned to angry mood.

"Hey Agnus! Why did you kiss me at the park?? I want to know right now!"

"You look like you wanted one. Also you're always alone at work".

"I have friends FYI"

"You can't kiss friends"

"Well you can't kiss girls who's not even your girlfriend"

"I only kissed one girl at the park though"

I don't know if you I should be flattered or mad.

"It wasn't right. I wasn't prepared."

"Well, be prepared because I'm going to kiss you again."

"No! Stop!"

I looked at him, preparing myself to defend my lips. He smirked and said, "Be prepared Scarlet. I'm going to make you fall inlove with me"

What? What?! This isn't happening! Me? Fall in love with arrogant guy like him? You had your chance from the start until you kissed me! Idiot Agnus!

As he dissapeared and return back to the building, I followed. He was gone already. That quick.

Frustrated and confused, I still want to know what Agnus' motive is. What does he want with me and what's with the unexpected kiss?

During work, I was able to see him.. He seems normal. When he talks to his female colleagues, he seems more friendly than flirty. Well duh he can't be flirty with people around him.

...

When office hours are closing in, he approached me while I finish up fixing the files.

"I noticed you were staring at me all day. Were you jealous when the ladies talked to me?"

"Who would be jealous over a man who has alot of women? I prefer a man who only cares for one.", I said it like I mean it.

"Ohhhh now we're talking. Prepared for a sweep-off-your-feet moment?"

I was amazed at how surprisingly proud and confident he is that I might be wooed by his charms. I was dissapointed. He made a good impression at first but he's gotten so nariccistic that I just felt sad. I wanted to be angry at him. I wanted to like him. But he wouldn't let me. He made me feel like an easy woman.

I teared up in front of him.

"I thought that you like to help and do good things. But here I am, seeing a side that disgusted me. I was to fall for you slowly but surely but it all changed. You are different from what I thought you are.", I sobbed and left him. It was annoying. I liked him. I craved to see him. Seems like I craved too much.

His face was plain, just staring at me. He didn't say a word. So, I walked away and left him there.

...

Just walking on my way home after I stopped crying. The night seems cold. People still walking on the busy streets, city lights all bright but to me, it looks like a lonely city. I walked pass the KLCC park, remembering that incident.

"If only he didn't kiss me"

"Sorry."

I looked back and saw Agnus with a bouquet on his right and a little teddy bear holding up a heart shaped pillow saying 'sorry'. He started talking and then it turned into a mumble.

"Scarlet, I know I've been a jerk to you on our frequent meetings. I just don't know how to approach you without being obvious", he turned his back on me and said, "I just couldn't stop thinking about you at the coffee shop".

Curious why'd he turned his back on me. I queitly creaked to see his face.

...

He was like a tomato!

His cheeks were so red!

It looked like he wanted to cry. Probably regretting what he did. He was so concentrated on not trying to cry and later did he realize I was staring right at him.

"Please don't stare at me like that. I get nervous when you stare at me too long"

I let out a smile and giggled and laugh.

He's like a little kid. He pouted like one, embarassed and blushed. He was so vulnerable that I wanted to pay him back for teasing me. So I did what he did to me.

...

I took back my first kiss.

I have never seen a redder tomato.
