A Year With Williams

Chapter 29 (Part 2)

Day 267

92

That is the second highest score of night.

That is what the screen displays.

Katie is jumping from the amount of happiness.

I am still trying to make sense. I can feel his eyes on me, I just do not have enough courage to look.

Rachel is laughing. Nick is still teasing her. Katie has no clue to what happened on stage. Eddy looks broken, in fact he has walked away. Vanessa doesn't understand Hindi do she has no clue to what happened.

I am numb yet I haven't felt this relieved and this happy for so long that I close my eyes and let the night breeze cool me of as I cherish this.

I didn't sing this song for Max. I sang it because I really wanted to. Max wasn't even there in this picture before the romantic movie moment I had just minutes ago.

I know what are the rumors going to be like now. Everyone will automatically presume that I am madly 'in love' with Max and I sang this song for him.

And because he didn't break the eye contact and neither did I, everyone will think he reciprocates my so called feelings.

The worst part isn't even that. It is that he sang too.

But yes I do like him. This is one fact that I can't hide anymore. It's one thing I'll have to accept because denial will only make it stronger.

One thing I still do not get is that why did he maintained the eye contact and sang. It makes sence to me that I maintained it because I actually had hidden feelings for him. I really don't know why couldn't he just look away and stop. Everyone was calling him, everyone was teasing him and yet he has the courage to maintain it.

Why would he thought?

I know that He brings the 'fearless' out in me and he himself is fearless.

But if I don't mean anything, he should have just looked away.

And now this is going to bother me. I'll just get ready for a sleepless night already.

Should I talk to him about this?

I do not know anything anymore.

"Is something wrong?" Katie asks me.

"Well......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you LIKE him?"

"Yes." I say taking a bit from pizza.

"Like LIKE Like him?"

"Yup."

"And you both just had the most romantic moment of your lives."

"Kind off. I would call it cliché not romantic." I say eating ice cream.

"He didn't look away?"

"Uhmm"

"And he still kept singing while you think you didn't sing for some time."

"Well that's exactly what I said." I said finishing my dinner.

Katie doesn't say anything for sometime. I don't blame her. I literally like gave her a burning bomb to deal with.

"Dude it's like unbelievable. It's like you telling me that you hate chocolates. I really can't seem to..... understand." She finally says.

Her eyes travel to Max who is sitting a table away.

"Why does he have to be so darn unpredictable and confusing? Why can't he just be normal? Why does he hides his emotions so much that I can't even guess?" She mutters.
