What I thought was a love story

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

*Kevin’s POV*

5.13pm. Thank god! I am early by like 2 minutes. I thought I would be late. I wondered if Jean had reached already or she is like the other girls back in LA when they are late by half an hour and called that fashionably late. I mean if you late then you are late. Apparently, this late thingy was to keep the guy waiting and to long for the girl more. But, there is no such thing as fashionably late or whatever. I can’t understand them at times like I mean which guy on earth can? Upon entering Starbucks, I scanned around, hoping to find her waiting for me. Disappointed. She hasn’t arrived yet. So, I bought a cup of latté and sat down by the window. I love siting by the window, where I can enjoy the view and at the same time enjoy my coffee.

I looked at my watch again. It was already 5.18pm but she still hasn’t arrived. Sighing, I tapped my foot impatiently. Maybe, she is just the girls back in LA and I thought she was different for the rest. The bell at the entrance rang, signaling a person had entered Starbucks. I looked up, hoping it was Jean. And it was really her! She looked really cute and pretty in that red summer dress, as it matches her skin colour and also show her curves. OMG! What am I thinking? She looked around and saw me waving my hand to her. She clumsily made her way towards me and sat down on the seat opposite me.

“So sorry! I am late by a few minutes. Hope you didn’t wait for me too long. Heehee I was busy choosing the dress and was also touching up my makeup…” she giggled. I smirked. She actually paid so much attention to her clothes when she is going to meet me. “Haha, is aright.  Go get a drink first.” I replied, laughing. And Jean bought herself a cup of frappe.

When she got back, it was quiet. None of us spoke a single word. All we did was to drink our coffee quietly. But I kinda enjoyed this silence, it wasn’t that awkward. Jean suddenly outburst and I got kind of shocked. “I hate awkwardness. Argh. How about we play erm… 20 questions?

I chuckled and nodded anyway since we won’t even doing anything and this game could possibly pull us closer I guess? So basically, we can ask each other 20 questions and we must answer honestly. “So can I ask you first?” She started bouncing up and down at her seat. She seemed really excited. Just to keep her happy, I nodded.

“When is your birthday?” She asked.

“May 10.”

“Aww, I missed it. Oh do you play any instrument?” She pouted.

She is so cute! “Guitar.” I smiled.

“Where were you from?”

“Seattle.”

“Ah. Erm… What is you favourite food and drink?”

“Cold noodles and Ice Lemon Tea?”

She continued asking me the questions. It wasn’t that boring but I started to get boring. I was eager to ask her questions straight away. And then, she bombarded me with a surprise question.

“What was your first impression of me?”

I was speechless. Should I tell her that I find her cute? Or should I say that I find her pretty clumsy or something? “Erm…” I answered back. She raised her eyebrow, waiting for my answer.

“You were… a bit clumsy cos you bumped into me this morning. And… I find you... cutee…” My voice grew softer by second. Jean blushed. She actually blushed!

“Haha okay so ask me the questions now.” She chuckled, trying to change the topic.

“Okay, so when’s is your birthday?”

“July 23” She smiled.

“Ahhh. Is in two weeks time! I shall get you a surprise!”

“Oh, don’t mention surprises… I hate them. Last year, Leena said she would give a pleasant surprise and she made me sit on the rollercoaster. It was terrible.” Jean grumbled.

“Don’t worry. I won’t be so mean, pinky promise. It is gonna be pleasant, I swear.” I replied, giving her my pinky finger.

And we made a deal. “Do you play any instrument?” I continued with the 20 questions. She shook her head and pouted.

“Aww, is okay. I can teach you guitar. I am the best teacher in this world.” I smirked. Well, boasted. “Bleh.” Was all her reply, but I could see the excitement in her eyes.

After the grueling hours, okay I was exaggerating. It was like around 5 minutes when I am left with the last question. And duh, I have to ask her that question to be fair right?

I cleared my throat, “ So what is your impression of me then? I mean first impression.” She looked up, her mouth in the ‘o’ shape then she pouted. Aww, so cuteeee! I want to pinch her cheeks. WAIT OMG, WHAT AM I THINKING?

“Copy me! Hmph.” She whined. “Erm a dude whom I collided?” “And…” I asked back. “And… I find you hot…” She reddened. She immediately change the topic, “So you want to head to the shopping mall and we can talk while walk?”

I smiled and nodded…
