The Times He Made Me Cry [One Shot]

There he was walking towards my direction. He was bringing my favorite bouquet of purple tulips. The guy I'm talking about is Xander, the man I would love to call MINE.

It was this school year when I met him in an Outreach Program in school. I was an officer in that organization while he was just the ordinary student. He was neat, attractive & has these cutest eyes that smiles whenever he smiles. I was mesmerized by his beauty, as if the God of Masculinity is right before my very eyes. He was the boy from another section whom I didn't recognize but now has caught my eyes.

We had another chance to be together in an activity and suddenly he just asked for my mobile number and asked me if he could take me home. I was dumbfounded. I am somebody who has never had boyfriend since birth . I usually say "NO" to dates or to men but this time, I said YES for the first time. I gave him my number and allowed him to take me home. From that night on, we kept on hanging out together.

We were like Best of Friends. We shared our problems to one another and we even cry with each others endeavors in life. We text almost everyday, we call each other and talk almost every night.

Our sudden closeness to each other has spread like a FIRE. People thought we were together as a couple. We absorbed all those issues and just SMILED. I know people will never understand the kind of friendship we have.

I must admit that I really like him and I felt he was feeling the same. I maybe naive hen it comes to relationships but, I am not that Numb.

On his 21st birthday, he invited me to their home. He introduced me to his parents and siblings and the warmth of his family was one of the things that made me like him even more. After our dinner, he took me to their porch and handed me a cup of coffee.

I really can't hold my feelings and my mouth any longer so I finally said my piece. I challenged him with one question but his answer surprised me.

"Xander, will your life still be the same without me?" I asked. I as trembling and butterflies are on my stomach.

There was silence. He stared blankly at the stars in the sky. When he looked at me, his tears fell.

"NO. Ever since you came, My life has changed and if you leave I don't know what will I do without you." He said. "Don't leave me. I have so many friends both from high school and college but I don't understand why It's only you that I can tell it all. I can cry with you." He added.

I was surprised. He needs me in his Life. So this is the feeling of being needed by someone.

I hugged him so tight and whispered "Oh Xander. Never will I leave you. I will leave you only if you ask me too. Don't you think it would be a torture for me leaving you behind? Just the thought that it hurts me so much!"

I dried those tears and kissed those eyes.

His night ended with both of us happy. We had an assurance of not being together no matter where it will take us.

I was about to sleep that night but I can't. So I went out and stared at the stars in the sky. He needs me but does he Love me? Tears fell from my eyes and that was the first time he made me cry.

Months passe and still issues about us never ended. There are pictures of him and this certain girl in his facebook account that made me go so mad. Just the thought of that picture pains me so much. I wanted to confront him but who am i to him?

"Xander, what am i to you?" I asked him as we had dinner together.

"Do you really want to know?" He said while eating a French Fry.
