Chapter 15: Starry Starry STAR ✦

    It was already dinner time when we got back from the cable car. Awhile ago, when we were about to ride the cable car, we found out it can only fit 2 persons at a time. Lucky for us, especially Katie, she had been asked by her crush to ride with him so Bethany & I rode together with no problems. Bethany told me a lot of jokes and pick-up lines along the way. She even admitted to me that she was a bit envious of Katie since she had already been asked out by the one she admires. I cheered her up by giving her positive thoughts. Bethany also brought back the topic again, asking me who I like. Even right now, I'm still not sure about my feelings towards Jacob. Is it love I'm feeling when I'm with him? So I told her that I don't have anyone I like at the moment. When we landed back to our resort, we were joined by Katie who had a dazed expression.  

    "So? Spill the beans!" I told Katie. 

    "Johnny's going to take me out after this field trip!!! Can you believe this? I'm so freakin happy right now!" she squealed out loud.  

    "I'm really happy for you, Katie!" I said happily to her and hugged her.  

    "Bethany, come here! I have something to tell you," Katie waved her hand at her. We made a semi circle. "Johnny told me awhile ago that Harry likes you too, Bethany!" she whispered happily. 

    Bethany placed her hands on both of her cheeks. She was as red as a tomato. "Really?!" 

    "Yep! I'm 100% sure!" Katie winked. "But don't tell him you know, oki?" 

    Bethany nodded like a kid, "When will he ask me out?" 

    "Within this whole field trip," Katie placed her finger over her lips. 

    When we were about to get in the buffet to have dinner, my cell alerted a message. I checked it and found Jacob's number. He told me to meet him on the roof of the resort. I told Katie & Bethany that I would be right back as soon as possible. I used the elevator to get up. When I opened the door of the roof, I saw Jacob standing in front of me dressed in a sweatshirt, jogging pants and sneakers. "Welcome, Miss Keith. May I take you to your table?" 

    "Wh-what is all this? I asked him. "Are you crazy?! You're going to catch a cold!" I took off my scarf and my coat to lend it to him but he refused it. 

    "It's fine. You should wear them instead," he wrapped the scarf around my neck and led me to a small circular table. On the table, there were maroon colored table napkins placed on top of our plates. Two candlesticks weren't lighted because of the snow. A cold wind blew our way that caused me to shiver. Jacob offered me a chair and I took it while he pushed me in. He sat across me with his fingers folded on top of the table. He wasn't talking to me so I let my eyes wander to the night sky above us.  Millions of stars were above us. Orion was easily spotted because of the row of three stars running East to West that make up his belt. A bright star marks each of Orion's shoulders and knees, and a group of stars seems to form a sword hanging from his belt. A curved line of faint stars outline a shield Orion holds high in front of him. In class, we were taught this. And if you follow Orion's belt to the West, past his shield, you will find the constellation Taurus the Bull. This is only as far as I can remember. 

      "They sure are beautiful, huh," he suddenly spoke up, which brought me back to earth.

      "Yup!" I answered. "Jacob, what is these all of a sudden?"

      "You'll find out later," he gave me an assuring smile. "Wait here, I'll go get the food." He left me and then came back with two plates on both of his hands. He placed mine in front of me then we both opened the metallic lids of of our plates together. I found a roast beef with gravy sauce spread on top. Maybe this is just treating me back from my treat to him awhile ago. I finished dinner about fifteen minutes because I remembered I promise my friends that I would be back as soon as possible. As I push my chair back and stood up, Jacob did too. He stood up and went to me. He was standing in front of me holding both of my hands with his. I didn't bother struggling because...my heart doesn't want to.

  "Don't go yet, I still have something to tell you," he said gently, as my heart gave me a mini heart attack. 

  "What is it?" I asked, finding myself so eager to what he's gonna tell me.
