“I Love you.” I said without thinking and before I realized it, I already said it all.

________________________________

Saying those 3 words is a big thing. A lot of people say that love is a game. The first one to fall inlove is the loser and so, the other one would be the winner. And if I was to refer the general way on how people look at love, I am the loser and I just proved it by saying those 3 words. I was scared and nervous because like all in those the movies, the winner would feel dominant and mighty towards the loser.

But regretting it was not in my mind. I’m actually tad happy that I finally said it. I finally told him what I feel.

But the thrill was what will be his response. Will he say those words back or not?

I gripped the phone tightly to my ear but after a few seconds, the call ended silently.

And even though the call ended, I still held the phone to my ear as I realized that Lee didn’t say “I love you too.”

###

Two days. Two days of complete silence and sadness. Two days of no communication with Lee. No message, no calls, no anything, no happiness.

I lied on my bed as drowsiness took me. I stared at my phone and waited for a progress. Unfortunately, there’s none. On the other hand, Shaira was on a vacation with Beau.

I tried to recall our conversation. This shouldn’t be happening if I didn’t say those 3 words. Maybe he doesn’t feel the same way. Maybe he’s not interested. Maybe we’re just friends. But friends don’t kiss each other on the lips. Or do they?

Have I cried? Almost but I stopped myself. If I cried all the emotions that I’m holding it would just flood my mind with stupid ideas and illusions. I never cried but I never smiled.

As I started drifting to sleep, the television was still on and I almost closed my eyes when the host of the talk show that I was watching said, “Let’s welcome, Lee Pace!”

I shot my eyes open as I heard his name. His name sounds so melodic in my ears. I immediately sat infront of the flatscreen tv and watched the show.

As Lee walked to the stage, you could see that he’s tired but he seems happy and that made me feel a shot of pain in my heart. He’s happy while me, on the other hand, is suffering because of him. But then again, I really can’t blame him. Maybe he’s happy because he met someone more beautiful and hotter than me.

“Hi everyone!” Lee greeted everyone and earned a lot of applause from the audience. Lee talked to the hosts about Halt and Catch Fire and Guardians of the Galaxy, his series and movie. I concentrated on him the entire time. I looked at how words form from his lips, how a smile appears in his face, how he answers the questions thrown at him.

“So Lee, how’s your love life?” One of the hosts said which is a girl and which seems attracted to Lee which made me frown. My heart thumped loudly as I waited for his reply. I was nervous and started to sweat.

“Well…” Lee started. My heart beat went fast.

“Have you met anyone?” Another host asked him and Lee was about to say something when I turned off the tv and plumped myself on the bed. I just can’t take it anymore. I can’t take it if he’s gonna say that there is no one special in his life right now. I thought none of it anymore and forced myself to sleep.

###

I opened my eyes and find myself awoken by a continuous knocking. I lazily got up and tried my best to not think about Lee but failed to do so. I missed him so much. I went to the front door and opened it slowly to find a grinning Lee with flowers, pizza, and ice cream on his hands. He looked exhausted and worn out. I was amazed to see him here at this time.

He said, “I love you too.”
