Cold breeze. The wind is gently touches my cheeks. The strands of my hair are swaying as the branches of trees are dancing through the beat of every wave of the breezy air. The lightness of the sun is suddenly reflects on my eyeglasses as to my soul. I can feel the warmth sensation brought by its rays. It is a day full of enlightenment. A day full of warmhearted feelings.
Our team building is done. We're going back to the real world, in the work world. The three days and two nights has been finally completed. Those days and nights that full of laughter, excitement, embarrassment and enjoyment. We left our heart to that place. To that place that waken up my sleeping heart. To that place who taught me on how to laugh without holding it, to that place who taught me to let go the shy part of being a human being. And to that place, that taught me on how to feel the love.
"You want to close the windshield?" He said. It was Sir Rhance. I'm sitting beside him, in the front seat. While Ma'am Iya is sleeping at the backseat. She chose there since she wants to sleep. And of course, Gail, Lindie and Mac is sitting at the back also. Though, I don't want to sit on this chair but I had no choice since they get inside of the car first. And Gail pushed me to get inside the front seat. It is not intentional. It is not. I just had no choice.
"No, I'm fine with it." I said without looking back to him. I think I will have a stiff neck later since I have been looking outside for almost fifteen minutes. I just don't want to see him. Yes, I just advise my eyes to behave this time. So, I let them to stare outside.
"Ah. You sure? And don't you want to turn your head in front? Or on me? You might have a cramp if you stay your neck on that side for hours." He is concern.
"No, I'm fine." I said though I can't hold it in this position. I think I can now feel the cramp on my neck. But, I really don't want to look at him.
"Don't you want to see me?" He said then he laughed. "Just kidding.".
" It's not that, I just-. I'm ok with my position." I said to him and I really did not turned back at him to look at him. My God! Renee'!
" Alright. Since, it looks like you don't want to talk to me and I will look like an idiot here, you know I don't want to fall asleep while driving. I will just open the radio. May I? Would that be ok to you?" He started to become sarcastic.
Well, I do have conscience but I need to endure it. This is for me, for my sake, for my heart sake. After that cherry fruit game last night, my God! I need a break, I need a space from him.
"Yes. I'm ok with it." I just said.
"Alright, thank you Renee'!" He said and open his radio. It was a sweet love song that I am familiar with.
I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
You'll feel this feeling I have inside
"Do you like the song?" He said.
"Yeah!" I said. I don't know why he keeps on asking me. It is his own car. He can do whatever he want.
You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Falling in and out of love just like a play
Memorizing each line I still don't know what to say
What to say...
I hate the song. It only reminds me on how really an idiot I am.
"Are you sleeping?" He asked me.
Don't know what to do
whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
my heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way
You're beside me all the time
""No, I am not." I said with a bit irritation on my tone. Why he keeps on talking to me? I can stay for hours of not looking at him and of not talking to him.
I have loved you and I'll always will
Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
This feeling I have for you inside
And this song is giving me a headache.
"You sure you don't want to talk to me? To chitchat even a little?" He asked me again.
"No! I mean Yes I don't" I said it to him. This guy.
"Ah, I'm sorry but I really need someone to talk right now. I'm started to feel sleepy. They are still sleeping at the back and Mac is still sleeping. He can't drive at the moment and I don't want to wake him up. Well, I'm begging you." He said. "And please turn your head to me."
I don't have a choice I turned my head back to him. He is smiling. Then I heard the song, it was continue playing.
I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
Memorized all the lines but here I am
Struggling for words
I still don't know what to say
I really hate this song. It, somehow, reveal what I'm hiding for.
"Alright. I'm so sorry Sir Rhance! I was just really so engrossed in the view outside." I just said. I lied. From the time I sat on this chair, I am trembling.
"That's ok." He said. "So, how's the team building? Did you enjoyed it?" He said while trying to look at me, to look into my eyes even he is holding the steering wheel.
"I really enjoyed the team building. Too tiring but fun. So embarrassing but happy. That was great!" I said.
"Yeah! It was really so embarrassing! Especially the last activity. the cherry fruit part. Do you remember it?" He said while smiling.
No-no-no-no-no! I was trying to not remember that cherry fruit thing. This guy, this guy is really crazy!
"Yes! I remembered it. That was too hard." I just said and I avoid to look into his eyes.
The traffic light turns into red. Then Sir Rhance stops the car and turned his head to my direction.
"Know what? I'm thinking, what might happen if the cherry fruit fell?" He asked while looking straight into eyes. His expression turns into soft emotion.
I looked at him. " Yes, of course, if it will fall, my lips will-- Oh my God!" I was not able to continue what I'm saying when I realize what might happen that night. His lips will meets mine and my lips will meets his. Oh God! My eyes widened. I touch my lips and look back to him. Then my eyes look down to his lips. Oh my God! Renee'. So embarrassing! Please stop thinking. My eyes, please behave!
He look straight to my eyes. His eyes looks into my nose. Then it goes down to my cheeks. And it goes down to my lips. God! Then I suddenly hear the song that continue playing, this part of the song.
Don't know what to do
whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
my heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Every minute every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way
You're beside me all the time
Because at the moment, I was stucked up. I can't move. And I really don't know what to do.
Every minute every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way
You're beside me all the time
His face is slowly moving close to my face. It was too close, really close, an inch gap from my lips to his. Then I was about to close my eyes when I heard a loud sound and I almost fell from my chair. The car at our back is keeps on pushing his car's horn too loud. Well, the traffic lights turns into green. We need to move.
He smiled a bit when he saw the traffic light.
"So embarrassing!" He said while smiling.
I just nodded and turned my head on my right side, in the windshield. I let myself to watch the view outside. Though, I'm smiling, trembling. So embarrassing! Luckily, they are still sleeping! Oh my God! If only they are awake, that was a big issue, really is. I felt nervous after thinking they might see us. Oh my God! If by chance, only by chance they saw us, What will happen to me? See? Think Renee'! Think!
