Permanent Vacation >> cth

Chapter 1

Tonight was like any other night. Nothing really special until someone walked to my table and looked at me intensely with two beautiful eyes. He bit his lips right before his amazing voice came out.

"You know that everyone needs to take a break from studying, don't you?" Troy said as he leaned on a bookshelf. I looked up at him and chuckled.

"Yeah, I do know it. I just need to finish this, and I'll go home." I said before focusing back to the book. He sighed and folded his arms.

"Why don't we go out for dinner?"

I flashed a small smile and shook my head. "Sorry, I have plans tonight." I rejected him politely, while in fact, I really wanted to go.

I tried, at least.

"Aw, my little Leia is a grown girl now! Bet you have a romantic dinner with a lucky guy, don't you?" he raised an eyebrow. If he only knew that I wish the lucky guy was him, though.

"No! It's just a 'me time' with Netflix and pizza. Typical loner." I joked. Troy giggled.

"May I join you?"

"Sorry Troy, it's 'me time'." I repeated as I closed my book. He pouted and tried to find another reason to make me go with him.

"You need to stop eating pizza, though."

You need to stop flirting with me, though. I rolled my eyes secretly. I put the book on my bag and flashed him another fake smile as I stood up and grabbed my things quickly.

"Nothing can separate me from pizza, not even you. I'll see you tomorrow, Tro-wie. Goodnight." I felt a hand grabbed my right hand. He pulled me back to my position on the chair.

"Let me drive you home, okay? That's the least I can do." He smiled. Before I could reject him for the second time, he wrapped his arm on my shoulder. We walked to the parking lot where his car was waiting, and he opened the door for me. He kept telling me some lame jokes all the way home while listening to radio.

Wait. There's something strange.

This is not the way to my flat.

"Troy, where are you taking me?" I asked with annoyance tone. He giggled.

"McDonald's." he grinned proudly. I rolled my eyes and groaned. A silence fell upon us on the way to McD's. I'm not interested to debate him anymore, so I chose to give in.

Always.

"Here we are." He exited his seat and opened my door. I muttered 'thank you' and walked my way to the door. Suddenly, I felt his hands intertwined with mine. Freaking intertwined.

We picked a seat next to the window because the place was full. While I stared at the window, I could feel his gaze on me. I knew he wanted to start a conversation, but he's just as confused as me. He tried to talk one time but quickly closing his mouth without a word.

"Why are you so nice to me, Troy? And I feel like this is the different kind of 'nice'." that question popped on my head. He stared at me, raising his eyebrows.

"Why am I so nice to you? It's been three years, and now you are asking me about why am I being nice to you? I think it's obvious, Leia. I like you." I swore my heart just skipped a beat. Did he really mean it?

"What do you mean?"

"I know you know what I mean." He grinned playfully. He took my hand and placed a small kiss on the back of it.

Oh god, I could faint any moment now. He did not just say that.

-----

"Okay, here we are." He said as we reached my flat. I was a little bit sleepy, so I just nodded my head and stretched my arm.

"Thanks for tonight, Troy."

"Anytime, Leia." He answered sweetly. When I was about to get out of the car, he held my wrist, stopping me. I looked at him with a confused look spread all over my face. Oh god, what now?

"Good night, babe. I'll see you tomorrow." He whispered quietly and I blushed. I nodded and rushed my way to my door. As soon as I got in, I locked the door and screamed in excitement. This can't be real! After all this years he finally admitted that he likes me!

Alright, so this is the story.

I met him around three years ago, at the library. He looked confused while flipping through the pages of his book. I kept staring at him because he was so cute and I couldn't stop, until he stared back at me and gave me a sly smirk. I was so embarrassed and quickly turned my gaze away from him. Suddenly, he approached at me and sat casually next to me. He introduced himself to me and I did the same to him. We kept chatting until the old librarian threw us out because we were so damn loud, and he said we should hang out more. We started to hang out since that day. But the longer we got to know each other, I noticed that he's been flirting with every girl he met. I didn't care at first though. My friend had warned me about this, but being the naïve girl I am, I always gave in. Don't get me wrong, I realized that I was the naïve one. I just couldn't resist him in anyway.

But damn, tonight was different.

I took my phone and texted my best friend, Addy. Oh my god, I wish she was here so I could tell her the whole story.

I placed my phone on the table before drifting into a dream world of mine, impatiently waiting for tomorrow.
