Leaf of Alexander

Chapter Forty-Nine

Chapter Forty-Nine: First Kiss

Ang hirap isipin na kaunti nalang ang oras ko kasama siya. Every little tick of the clock send an ounce of anxiety. After I had hugged him in Enchanted Kingdom, we both agreed of leaving. Though, I asked him again for another out, and happily he accepted my offer.

I was now here in my room— pondering of something that I will do tomorrow to make it so special, that he wasn't able to forget. I cocked my head in one side and bit the tip of my pen. But my cell phone chimed startlingly. I hopped out of my bed and stood by my bared foot. I fumbled my cell phone and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked, without knowledge who had just called me this late.

"I miss you already," the voice of Alexander just made my heart to wallop violently against my ribcage.

I receded, and when I felt the edge of my bed, I dropped of myself. My knees were trembling like it had been hit by a heavy metal. Hearing his voice was taking me in harbor before— of course until now— but there was something changed. Like I was been lacking enough of energy, making me inept to breath. Oh, God, what's happening to me? I asked to myself as I realized that I was silent for a minute.

"Are you still there?" he asked, worried that I may not on phone right now.

"Y-yes..." I quavered, but I tried my best to fight it, "I was just... thinking something. Sorry."

I almost heard the forming smile on his soft reddish lips, "I'd like to think that it's me?"

A glim of happiness just washed over my face but in a little amount of time, it faded, "Yeah, definitely..."

Maybe the lack of time had just made me this straight forward, I have been so tough and brave of showing my thoughts. A ball of remorse just rolled off through me, making me wonder what would it be if I had realized my feeling with him earlier? Would I feel the same thing as I was feeling right now? No... or maybe still yes? I love Alexander and I still feel the feeling of skimpiness. I wanted a replete time with him but I had to thwart my own desire or will this time.

"Hmm... I don't know what should I say." he trailed off, "can I tell that you made me smile?"

I rolled my eyes as I stifled myself not to show smile through my face, "You're making the same with me..."

"Oh, babe..." he cooed. "I want you here next to me... can I come to your house?"

My eyes widened in shock as I looked at my clock.

"This late?"

I heard his heavy breathing, "Can I?"

"No. We'll be going to meet tomorrow."

"Hmm... every time I close my eyes, your face is showing vividly."

I bit my lower lip as my heart started to pound my chest. I want to stand up, scream and jump off my feet because of the cloud of felicity started to creep across my mind. I suddenly removed the fact that I had a problem... for a mean time.

"I like to believe that you've just eaten a cheese?"

I heard him sneer, "Ha! I'm always this sweet for you, you know? I always like my effects on you."

"Tss," I searched for a better word to spit, "Who told you, you have this so called effects on me, Mister?"

He chuckled, "You always blush... well—"

I immediately cut him off, "O-of course not!" I whined.

"You said so," his sound was not that convinced.
