Voice on the Radio

Chapter 8

I was walking alone in the park when I heard a crowd of girls screaming. I laughed all by myself remembering the time when all of this happened months ago. I can't believe that is how we're supposed to meet. All along I thought he was a good guy with a good voice and a good face. I guess the good guy thing is not in his personality.

I continued walking until I noticed the person who the girls are screaming for. It was him. The person who made my heart skip a beat. The person who made my heart melt. The person who made my heart confused. I looked at him and once again, my heart started pounding.

The moment he looked at my direction, I looked away and continued walking. I don't want him to think that I like him. Wait. Did I just say that I like him? Oh no. This is really too much.

"Carrie! Carrie wait up!" Hey. How come he knows my name?

"Carrie!" I stopped walking. Well, honestly, I didn't stop because I want to. Jerry Choi stopped me from walking. He held me in the arms and made me face him.

"Carrie, could we talk?" He said while catching his breath.

"About what? Oh, wait. How come you know my name?" He was shocked with what I asked.

"Let's talk somewhere else. Please? I'll explain everything to you there."

"Fine. But I don't have much time okay?"

"Alright. Let's go?" I just nodded. He held my hand and we went inside his car.

The moment he let go of my hand I felt that the spark that I felt when he held me was gone already. Ugh. Why do you have this magic effect on me? I hate you!

We went to another park where there are only two people found. Me and him. I don't know what this is for but I'm feeling a little uneasy right now.

"Now, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, I've been thinking."

"About what?"

"About the things that happened between you and me. Especially the ones in the airports."

"So?" Argh. I have a feeling that this is going somewhere else.

"It made me realize things I never thought of before. It made me open my eyes to the beauty around me. You became an inspiration for my new music and I want to thank you for that." Then he stopped talking.

"Okay. So we went this far so that you could thank me? Come on! You could have practically said all of those things a while-" I never got the chance to continue what I was supposed to say because he started kissing me.

After that kiss, we became silent. I don't know but I'm wishing that he doesn't hear how loud my heart beats right now. I have to say that this kiss is way different than the kiss that we shared before back in the airport. This one is full of emotions. Wait. Don't tell me?

"What was that for?" I finally muttered.

"My way of thanking you." What?! Way of thanking me? Argh. This is too much.

"Are you really out of your mind huh? There are tons of ways on how to thank someone and why on earth did you do that to me?!" I'm really furious right now. I hate him!

"I did it because I want to. I want to kiss you okay? The moment that I kissed you at the airport before, I don't know why but I felt something. But that something was really good. When you told me that we should pretend like we don't know each other, I don't know why but I was hurt. I wanted to see you more that's why I even followed you in New Orleans. I can't control my emotions anymore. My heart is beating for you and for you alone. So are you willing to give me a shot?" I was shocked with what I heard. How come this is happening?

"I-I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything." He said with a smile. What does he mean with those words?

"But-"

"But what?"

"But don't you want to hear my answer?"

"Oh. I forgot about that. Hehe. So, what's your answer?"

"It's a yes." I told him with a smile. He hugged me after that and I just found myself hugging him back.

OMG. I don't want to go around and hurt myself anymore.

So as early as now, if this isn't love, please tell me what this is.
