The Three Words #Wattys2017

3rd

I woke up today , feeling both excited and nervous at the same time. Why? Because today will be the day that I'll confess. Today will be the day that I will finally know if he's gonna say the three words back to me.

"Honey , are you ready yet?" my mom yelled from downstairs. Even with my bedroom door closed , I could still hear her very loud voice boom through my entire room. I quickly brushed out the tangles in my wavy jet-black hair and pulled it back into a high ponytail. Not too high , though.

I quickly checked my outfit and appearance one more time in front of my full-length mirror before packing some of needed items in a sling bag. I made sure that I brought enough sunscreen , sunglasses , a beach towel , and of course my phone.

After that , I grabbed my sling bag and headed out , slamming my bedroom door behind me as I left. My mom was already waiting in the car as I tied the shoelaces of my sneakers. Although this was a trip to the beach to spend some time with Nathan , I still wanted to look a little more casual and I figured that sneakers will be the best.

Sure , most people would rather wear flip flops to the beach. But for me , sneakers are the most comfortable form of foot wear that was ever created. Once I got into my mom's car , I peered into the little shopping bag that was on the front seat.

As if mom could read my mind , she said ,"Those are some snacks that I prepared for you and Nathan to munch on later at the beach. After all , you both can't just be left hungry all day on the beach."

I smiled and I knew my mom took that as a sign of me saying thank you to her. I took out my earpiece from my sling bag and plugged them into my phone. Since my mom was busy listening to her Chinese news on the radio , I wanted to listen to some music on my own while the radio was still turned on.

I finally decided to listen to the song Sad Song by We The Kings after scrolling my boom of songs available on my music library. As the song played , I found myself thinking of Nathan again.

It made me think of how my life would be if I never met him. Would it be like this? Would I end up falling for him and wanting to known as his girl? I shivered in fear , trying to get rid of the thought from spreading throughout the rest of my brain.

It's still morning and my heart was already lighting up a burning flame. I quickly decided to listen to another song called Shy by Jai Waetford. I love that song as it perfectly describes how I feel whenever I see Nathan.

It's like even when I hear his name , it gives the butterflies already. He had the effect on me, The effect where I get super nervous and he's the first guy that makes me feel that way ever in my life. As in , seriously.

The song continued to play as I glanced out the window , trying not to think too much about confessing later on.

The weather on the beach was super nice and relaxing. The sea was crystal clear and the cool wind was blowing , playing with my hair a little as it did. Even though my hair was in a ponytail , the wind still managed to make it look like my ponytail was flying.

A few moments earlier , Nathan and I finished off our picnic lunch with some oreo and cheese pudding that his mom made. He brought the delicious dessert in a cooler box to prevent the dessert from getting warm and mushy.

We laughed and joked around with each other as we strolled around the beach. When I complained that my eyes were hurting a little from the sun , he took out an extra pair of sunglasses and gave them to me. 

Nathan even insisted that I keep them as little gift on this "date" of ours. I said no , but being the guy he is , he won the little battle.

I also noticed that there were a lot of young couples spending a day at the beach today as well. I even caught sight of a boy kissing the girl after he confessed. I literally wanted to melt into a pile of a mushy puddle after watching it happen.

I found it so cute. I even planned to collect some seashells to bring home and make some jewelry out of the seashells I'll collect. After all , seashells are amazing to make some nice jewelry with.

As the time past by like a whirlwind , the sun began to set. As it did , it created a beautiful mix of orange and pink in the sky , looking like a perfect couple , all mashed up together and stuff. The wind yet again was playing with my ponytail , but I didn't mind at all. I found it super nice and calming.

"Wanna get some ice-cream?" he asked me , fidgeting with his fingers a little. Indeed , there was a few moments of awkward silence between us and when he asked me that question out of nowhere , I figured that the only asked in order to make the situation less awkward.

I nodded my head and when he suddenly grabbed my hand , I knew the took my nod as a yes. We fell into line and boy , there was a long line in front of us and in order not to feel awkward again , we chatted as the line moved.

A few minutes later , it was finally our turn to order. We both decided to get the same flavor ; chocolate. And this time , Nathan paid for the ice-cream. He said it's his treat after I paid for the food we had during our hang out to Jerudong Park.

As we ate our ice-cream , we continued to laugh and joked around with each other. Soon enough , I began getting comfortable. He's super nice and super easy to talk to.

Halfway through eating our delicious ice-cream cones , he said ,"I have always wanted to say this...... I-I love you."

After those words came out , I let my ice-cream fall out of my hands and I didn't care one bit. He confessed. Wow. It was a whole other thing he kissed me. 

I smiled , feeling the heart of mine getting all warmed up. He finally said the three words I wanted to hear.

THE END.
