2. The Excitement

A/N : Sorry about the delay in updating my story!

     Everyday, I feel incredibly excited and when the second semester starts, my friends thought something was unusual about me. My best friend, Jane asked me what was going on with me. Finally, I told her about everything and without a doubt she's the first person to know about my relationship. She congratulated me but she asked me a question that left me in deep thoughts for a long time,"...but isn't it a little too fast? I mean like why would he be interested in you all of a sudden?". She's not entirely wrong either, so I took her question seriously.

     I kept pondering about it over and over again and I definitely felt that something was wrong about my relationship. Slowly, I start to overthink. My instincts kept telling me that I was just a replacement for my boyfriend's 'ex-crush'. I kept thinking that he likes me because of how much I cared for him before we were together. I was reminded of an incident where I was angry with his actions but on the very next day, I couldn't help myself but to forget about my anger and treated him to a dessert (that was how much I liked him). I was enjoying myself too much that my adrenaline rushes and overpower those negative thoughts.

     I left that aside and told myself that nothing is wrong and nothing will go wrong. We texted every single day without fail. Once I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing I do is to check my phone for messages from him and before I sleep, he will be the last person I talk to. We always say "I love you" to each other every night and we even send what I think is ridiculously cringe-worthy emoji to each other everyday. We always update each other about our day at school (we are from different schools) and we help out each other with our studies as our final exams before we enter college is nearing as days passes by. We were also busy with our respective daily routine that we are only able to chat during the night.

     Friday would be my favourite day of the week instead of weekends. Friday is the only day we get to go out on lunch date, once a week where we go for tuition together at the same place. Train rides and lunch together after school are something I looked forward to with him every week. We always go to the same cafe where there isn't many people and it is also quiet. Both of us likes it there where we can have our personal space together even though it's only for awhile. I liked how he would wrap his arms around my waist after he finishes his food and he would just watch me eating slowly. I like the warmth of his body and I felt safe in his embrace. I would ask him to treat me to ice-cream if we ever pass by a convenient store because I have an obsession with desserts especially ice-creams ever since the last year of high school begun.

     I would write him a small note every week as to show how much we have progressed together. Although I wished that he would have done the same but I know that guys does not have the soft side that only girls has. I kept my expectations low just so that I won't be disappointed and only asked him for a favour to write to me once every month during our so called 'monthsary' together. He happily agreed to it though I never really knew what was his thoughts about it.
