Loving him...

the Shared NIGHT

Andrian fetched me after my shift. We were sitting closer than we did previously in the car. When the car hit the bumper, we realized our closeness and he immediately withdrew his hands from my knee. His cheeks turned red and he looked away to hid his face. After that, we both travel in silent. Frank broke the silent by informing, "Sir, we are 5 minutes away from the shop."

Andrian nodded; he turned to me and cleared his throat. "Ermgh...Chelsea, I'm thinking of buying some gift for my bandmates. Would you mind to give me some help in choosing?"

"Oh yeah, sure. But then what if people here recognize you?"

He cracked a smile and, "No. this is the usual place for us. So, we are fine here."

When the car stopped, "Shall we?" again he took my hand and led the way. First, we entered an antique shop, nothing there were satisfying for both of us. Secondly, we went to a handicraft shop. The shop was full of hand-made and natural objects. The stuff there was one-of-a-kind; most are custom-made. After browsing throughout the shop about half an hour, we both decided in buying bottle opener where the members' name will be crafted on it. Andrian paid at the counter where he hid something under his jacket.

After I caught him doing it, he flashed a very cute smile towards me. Cute Andrian.

We got into the car. Andrian told Frank to drive to my home which I refused and asked him to drop me at Ruby's; My bike was there.

"Chelsea" he called. I looked up at him and his action said he was nervous about don't know what reason.

"Is everything alright?" I asked concerning him.

"AH?!!?? Yeah... All cool. I was just thinking....." he mumbled, "I really had a good time with you yesterday and today. So, I thought of giving you something." He gulped down and slowly flashed out a box from his jacket. A small black gift box with a red ribbon on it.

Totally taken aback by his gesture, "Andrian, you really don't have to..." before I finish my sentence, "Please accept it, Chelsea." He said, sounding innocent.

I received the box from him, saying thank you. He motioned me to open it up; I did so. It was a hand chain. It was really beautiful in ocean blue color. There were some stars and a moon hanging down. Actually, I was thinking of buying a hand chain for myself; I loved the gift he gave.

"It's beautiful. I love it, Andrian." I said jumping up and down.

He enjoyed looking at my reaction, then "Why don't you wear it?" he added.

I replied with a smile, "I'll wear it for any special occasion since it is given by somebody so special" I remarked. He beamed at my answer.

When we reached Ruby's, Andrian opened the door for me. First, Frank climbed out of the car then me i joined him on platform. After checking the surrounding, Andrian put up his hoodie and climbed out. When I approached him for a handshake, he pulled me slightly that I fell into his arms. He hugged me and I returned it. I entered Ruby's to get my helmet when I returned to start my bike he was still there. He gestured me to drive first. He insisted me on leaving first. Rolling my eyes, I drove back home.

Andrian's POV

After she left, I'm on my way to my home. She was the only thing in my mind. Her smile, laughter, eyes, her everything. Holding her hands in mine was the best of all. I wanted to hold her longer. I wanted to make her mine; holding her as long as I want. She was just perfect. I love it when she was purely being herself around me. I have met many girls before, But Chelsea was different. Good Different. A different that fell crazily for. The glimpse of her snoring put a smile on my face. she was very peaceful when sleeping on my shoulder. I love every bit I was with her. She never forces me to say something I don't want; she respects my privacy. She did open something in me. I love being with this woman. I really want her by my side all the time. The expression on her face when she saw the hand chain I bought, was priceless. When she was acting like a boss at Ruby's instructing me to finish up my coffee was very fun and I enjoyed the moments a lot. Her kindness of making Frank a coffee was unexpected and good enough to portrait Chelsea's character. I just couldn't stop myself thinking about her. I really wish she always be with me all the time. Am I falling for her? Or have I?
