Once Upon a Time

Part 13

-I said that out loud didn't I? I asked the familiar stranger.

He laughed again and replied

-You did. My name is Evan and I'm new here. Nice to meet you.

He smiled showing off his cute dimples. I blushed at the smile. What's happening to me?

-Yuki, that's my name and nice to meet you too. Do you mind helping me take these downstairs?

-Sure, why not? Couldn't let a nearly died lady revisit the moment. He answers

I blushed once more. Oh God, he called me a lady, never in my sixteen years of living had anyone called me a lady and seemed like they genuinely mean it.

I remember all those times where James and my parents all teased me for being boyish. Man, this dress is causing wonders.

He helps me pick the bundles of cloth up and walks down the stairs with me. Ah, the gift of sight is amazing, I will never take my sight for granted again. I sighed and Evan turned to give me a questioning look. I blushed again and shook my head, signalling that it was nothing.

I have to stop blushing and embarrassing myself. Never before have I blushed this much around a guy, no scratch that,never before have I blushed this much. If my mom was here, she'd be squealing in joy, I'm finally acting like a girl.

-So where exactly are we heading? Asked Evan, breaking me from my thoughts.

Finally taking my surroundings in account, u realized we were walking away from the sewing studio.

Oh damn.

-Uh... It's back there. I said, awkwardly.

I stated at him, he stared at me and the next we know, we burst out laughing.

-You are really cute. How can you get lost in your own school?

Did he just call me cute? I'm cute? Holy cow a dude just call me cute!! SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I'M SUPPOSE TO REACT!!

-Sh-shut up. I'm not lost, I'm just showing around the school so you don't get lost, newbie.

I stuck my tongue out at him while blushing and he laughed.

Never had I ever been so childish, talkative and comfortable with anyone rather Takashi. There's a warm and nostalgic feeling in my heart. I've never felt this way for any other person,the only person I've felt this way for is Takashi.

-So where is here?

-The kitchen.

Wait, what? The kitchen?!

Evan made a step toward the kitchen and before he can go further I grabbed his hand and pulled him back. I don't know whether I'm just that strong or is he just surprised but, he toppled over dragging me down with him,making me land on top of him.

Our faces were really close. I was blushing, he was blushing the whole situation just gave me butterflies.

At that moment, Mr. Best Friend walks put of the kitchen. If I wasn't so embarrassed of what just happened, I would have laughed at James' expressions. It went from eyes widen and mouth drops to eyes narrowed and clenched jaws.

Oh damn.
