Sweetest Downfall

Chapter 6: Better Than Fairytale

What happened after I said yes was still blurry. I can't exactly remember his expression. All I know was that he held my hand. He led me towards the trees and we sat in peace. None of us uttered a word. However, I'm pretty sure my heart was beating wildly ..

What's more disturbing is the fact that my hands are sweating profusely. My body was too stiff and I was lost on what to do. I mean, all I know is what I've read on books but reality is totally different so applying tactics based on what I've read seems inappropriate.

I must be the most awkward out of all the awkward people out there. 

Nice going, Naomi. I mentally scold myself.

"He didn't even say I like you" my inner mind reminded me harshly

Now I'm feeling depressed.

"But given the chance, there's a possibility of him liking me too. If we just clicked together... if he just noticed me how much I feel for him then maybe my feelings would reach him. Right?" The other side of me debated. By this time, my thoughts were suddenly shifted to dreamy fantasies between me and Daniel.

His broad shoulders.. hugging me. His hands .. holding me... and his lips....kissing me?

I didn't even realized that I was too caught up with my delusions until I was abruptly interrupted by his roaring laughter.

"You ..should have seen your face. It was too priceless" He said while still panting because of his excessive laugh.

I swear I looked like a tomato right now. What did I tell you? I'm so awkward, it's awkward. Gets?

I hid my face from him. All the embarassment was too much to bear.

"Naomi, what are you thinking about? Your expression changes very quickly. It's so adorable to watch" He said while showing his ridiculously boyish grin. Too sinful for my eyes, I tell you. This boy will be the death of me.

"Will you please stop laughing?" I pleaded. Another sight of his overly irresistible smile would melt my insides. And I might blurt out something regrettable. 

Or I might die from too much exposure to a incredibly handsome guy. My heart is in constant turmoil, it's unfair 'cause I'm the only one experiencing this. I'm the only one who feels. And you know what? It sucks big time.

My decision of being with him was very hard and I don't know if I made the right choice. Heck, I'm worried that he might walk out on me knowing very well that he started this thing with who knows what reason. It's definitely not love 'cause I don't feel it from him.

He might end it anytime and I'll be all alone but I want to take the risk. I want him to like me as much as I like him. I want to use this opportunity to know him... to hold him... to support him...which is what I've always been dreaming of doing ever since I saw him on that memorable rainy day.
