Chapter 4

She was flawed
so perfectly  flawed,
so perfectly flawed for me.
-  Atticus.

KASPIAN

Kaspian hated Sunday's.  He had to go to his Father's friend,  Dr. Logan for a weekly check up. He was staying at Dr. Logan's office and it was really boring,  he saw the doctor's gown or whatever  it was called. "Oh,  it fits" Kaspian smiles and  he decided to go for a stroll outside.

Nurses were staring at him but he just walk past them and grinned,  walking like he owned the place.

He saw a familiar figure,  she went inside a private room,  Kaspian peeked inside  the small opening,  he was still trying to figure out where she saw that girl.  

CITI

"how's  she? " Citi asked Aunt Margaret looking at his sleeping Grandmama

"She's  okay, she'd be happy to see you," Aunt Margaret  informs and Citi smiled.

"It's  okay, I just dropped  off to bring this" and she handed her a bag of fruits.

"Thanks Citi," and Citi kissed Grandmama's forehead and  turned  around to open the door. Citi unlocked the door,  and her eyes widened and she almost shouts when he saw someone slightly  bent down and their faces were just an inch away.
"Oh my gawd,  the heck? "
Citi whispered shouting in shock and almost slapped the person  in front of her  .The guy fixed himself and bowed at her,  she was confused if he was nurse or a doctor or something but she came to realize that the guy before her was the guy he shouted at,  spilled  coffee at,  and now he was almost the guy she  slapped.

He quietly  stood there staring at her with his hands on the gown's  pocket , and Citi was wondering  why he was there,  she quickly bowed and made her way.

" Wait" she heard him.
She stopped for a moment and turned around to see him,  going after her. "yes? " she gulps  and raised her eyes to meet his.

"D'you know me? " confused,  Citi squinted  her  eyes and stared blankly at him and answered lowly, "no?". It was awkward, everything  was,  the distance  between them,  the way they stared at each other and mostly Citi.

And then she suddenly remembered "k-Kaspian  right? " she silently mutters, unsure of what she just said.

"yes.  Who are you? " Citi was  twenty times more confused than  before,  where the heck is this conversation  going?

"May I ask why,  you're asking  for my name? " she politely asks the guy and he replied back with another question

"Do I know you, or do we know each other ? "

"oh... Kay?", Citi found him weird or was he doing it on purpose "no,  we don't know each other."

"well then,  Hi I'm Kaspian Park and you are? " he stretched his hand and Citi awkwardly took his right hand and said

" I'm Citi,  Citi Valentine "

Time stood still for a moment.
She actually introduced herself  in the middle of a hallway  hospital  . In that awkward situation ,  Citi genuinely smiled at him.

And a guy suddenly  appears behind  Kaspian,  "There you are," he spoke and they both turned around to see the man,  and Citi recognized  his face,  he was the Doctor you'd see on posters in front of the building,  she smiled and bowed at him.

"Excuse me," he said and dragged Kaspian with him. Kaspian  didn't even turned around,  she was left there standing still unable to understand what just happened.
What the hell was that?
While Citi walked,  she was wailing in disgust when she remembered how dreadful she looked right now.She was wearing her dark grey oversized tee that made her look  smaller in her black pants. Her hair was a mess again for sure, though tightly pinned in a bun, it was what people call a messy bun,  but her bun was not the kind of aesthetically  messy,  it was freaking messy like her hair defied gravity.  Her freckles were scattered  everywhere her face and until her arms where she wore thick not-so-trendy-at-the-moment bracelets,  she wore no make up,  so the dark areas underneath  her eyes were showing .

And Goodness sake,  she didn't  even
took a shower, she just washed her face and rushed here.  She  couldn't believe why the fires of hell would an attractive rich looking guy like him introduce himself to a hideous looking creature like her .

It was crazy,  no...
He must be crazy,  like literally  insane.

"He talks weird, dresses weird...  " she remembered the white gown for Doctors that he wore,  "He's probably a mentally retarded patient ," and then  he remembered  seeing him in Café  Tale,  he looked normal and had friends.

"Mentally retarded  patient?  Are you talking about yourself?"somebody spoke, Citi knew that voice, it sounded cheesy though,  but she refrained herself  from voicing it out"And speaking of you and being mentally  retarded,  you're way thinking out too loud" he continued.

"Hey Clyde."  he removes one ear bud from his ear ,  his hand jammed inside his denim  jacket  and greeted me with a cheerful grin.

"You know talking to one's self  isn't normal,"  he tells her and Citi observed that he was extra handsome today with  his blonde hair parted on the center.

"Yes it is, thinking is one way of talking to one's self," Citi remarked and they both stopped  walking.
"where're you off  to Miss Valentine? "

"Home. And how 'bout you? "

"I'm here to see  someone " 

"What a very weird dating place," she said giddily and he slightly chuckles , she was going to ask about if he's  going out with one of the nurses in this hospital  or is he going to visit a friend but she said something  else instead, "Can I ask? "Citi shifted her eyes to serious ones "You're already asking, go on," he said.

"Do I look weird right now?" she was actually really embarrassed to ask him this kind of question but he was the only person available right now , and just after she'd let go of her words she instantly  regretted "you know what forget it.. " and Clyde answered back "You always look like that. "

"oh wow...thanks," Citi paused and Clyde panicked  "I mean you're not weird,  what I'm saying is... You always look like that,  and it's  fine with me. " he corrected and Citi's shoulder dropped and relaxed.

"okay... Thanks" "Uhmm yeah,  gotta go" they both said,  and went to opposite directions.

"Awkward gawwwd " she silently  mutters to herself .  And she managed to stifle a smile when she remembered  what Clyde said .

Even though  it may be a lie or  something  he said just to make her feel better. It felt relieving  .

And just when Citi saw the exit out, Clyde called "hey Citi, see you" and Citi nodded with a smile, and nibbled on her lower lip as soon as she turned around  and went  out.

Eerie and awkward, this day was.
