Voice on the Radio

Chapter 5

The next morning, Vince prepared breakfast again. He cooked pancakes again, and they are not awful just like what he did a couple of days ago. How come I didn't know that he has a talent in cooking? I would have used his skills a long time ago.

We ate breakfast and he told me to start packing my things for we're leaving by 4 pm. I packed almost all of my clothes and personal necessities. I placed my gadgets on a separate bag and by 11 am, I'm done packing all of my stuff.

To kill time, Vince and I watched a movie from my dvd collection and after that, we went to the airport already. I plugged my earphones in and started listening to the radio. I don't know what has gotten into me that made me do that but I just did. And surprise, surprise! It's not his voice that I listened to. It was from another artist. Well, that relieved me.

We were waiting for our flight when I noticed that there was a commotion that's going on right in front of us. A group of girls were screaming with banners and all. I can't understand what's going on and who they're rooting for but that made me remember something from the song I listened to before.

Last night I, fell in love with a stranger

Behind the glass house, he came walking out the back door

Into a crowd of screaming girls calling his name

Girls were still screaming out loud when something unusual happened. The person they were screaming for stopped from walking. He looked at my direction and so I turned to Vince. Vince looked at me as well and it seems like he thinks I'm acting a little weird so he asked me a question.

"Are you alright?"

"Uhm. Yeah. I think I'm just thirsty. Right. I'm just thirsty. That's all." I forced a smile and it seems like he believed me. Whew. That was close.

"Okay. I'll just go and get you a drink. Stay here, alright?" I just nodded in reply.

I was eager to know if the guy was still looking at my direction and so I faced the place where I saw him. I guess that was a wrong move for he was still looking at my direction. He was looking at me.

He looked straight in my eyes. It's as if we've seen each other before. His eyes were speaking to me, telling me not to go.

I was left alone and that became a chance for him to go near me. I didn't know what to do or what to say but I just let him sit beside me. People kept looking at our direction. Some were jealous. Some were pissed off. I, on the other hand, was clueless with what's going on.

He looked at me intently and asked me a question.

"Excuse me miss, but have we met before? You seem so familiar."

"I-I don't know." That was all that I could say. Now tell me, why do I feel this way? My heart is beating unusually. This is the first time that I felt this way. What is with him that made me like this? Ugh. I hate it.

"I really think I saw you before. It's just that I can't remember when or where. Do you believe in reincarnation?" Hey. What is it that he's talking about? Reincarnation? Is that for real?

"Uhm. No? Why?"

"I think I met you in my past life or what. The moment I looked at your direction, it's as if I knew you for years. Yes, I maybe a popular personality today but I really think that we have this certain connection. Don't you feel the same?"

"Stop it. I don't care if you're famous or what. For Pete's sake I barely know you! Stop this non-sense will you?" My voice trailed off when he kissed me on the lips. I felt that pictures were taken from all sides of the place. Gahd. This is so embarrassing! Vince, where are you?!

After kissing me, I started to talk again.

"What was that for?!" People are starting to gossip already. We are so making a commotion here. I hate getting this kind of attention. Ugh.

"Nothing. I just wanted to know if I really met you before. With that kiss, I think I'm mistaken. Sorry for the trouble that I caused you." What?! He kissed me for that stupid reason?! I hate him!

*Pak* Oh, I slapped him in the face. People were shocked with what I did. But I guess it served him right, right?

"Now, what was that for?"

"For the kiss that you gave me and for the trouble that you caused. Seriously, I think you need to go to a doctor and have some check-up."

"You! You'll regret doing that to me!" He was about to get a hold of me when Vince arrived.

"Hey! What are you doing to me fiancé?" Mr. Not-so-nice was shocked with what he heard.

"Fiancé? This girl? I pity you dude! She doesn't know how to kiss. Why don't you look for another girl to marry?" Vince got mad with what he heard and so he punched Mr. Not-so-nice.

The people that were watching us a while ago weren't able to control their emotions anymore and so they started to curse me and Vince. They were so mad with what we did with Mr. Not-so-nice. Are they blind or what? He started it!

I was about to say something to him when an announcement stopped me from doing so.

"Passengers of Flight ABC123, bound to New Orleans please proceed to Gate 5 now. Passengers of Flight ABC123, bound to New Orleans please proceed to Gate 5 now."

"Let's go Carrie. Don't waste your time with this kind of person." I smirked at Mr. Not-so-nice and picked up my things. After which, I walked away with Vince and proceeded to Gate 5.

I can feel that the people are still looking at us but I didn't bother to look back at them. I don't want to create another commotion. I've had enough.

We sat at our seats at the plane already. I'm still shocked with the commotion that we caused a while ago. I can't believe there's still a person that believes in reincarnation and was brave enough to kiss a normal girl n public even if he's a popular person like what he said.

Vince noticed that I'm not talking. I'm not listening to my ipod as well. I guess he knows that I'm thinking of something.

"Are you alright?"

"I'd be lying if I say yes."

"What did he do to you?"

"Could we just stop talking about it? I want to forget that thing already."

"I'm sorry but did he really kiss you?"

"Yes. Now, could we stop this conversation already? I'm really tired."

"Y-yeah. I'm sorry. Just take a nap okay?" I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But the scenes that happened a while ago kept on playing in my head. Why can't I forget his kiss? Ugh. Did I met him before just like what he believed in?

My mind tells me that I'm mistaken but my heart says that it's true.

Now, what would I choose?
