Saturday morning. I took a deep breath before I stood up to take a bath. As I enter the comfort room, my hands started to shake. So I placed my hands beside the wall then punched it hard. The intensity of hitting the wall didn't hurt me that much.

After taking a bath, I wore my favorite dress. The color's light pink and I wore flat sandal. I looked at myself at the mirror then smile gracefully.

Today is the day. I took a deep breath for the last time and then leave the house. I sat on an empty bench and wait for Ronan.

Ronan... He's a special person in my life. He's probably the smartest man I know; he could give me the time that I want just to comfort me whenever I have problems.

Five minutes had passed but Ronan didn't came. I tried to call him several times until...

"Hey!" I felt someone touched my both arms that made me jolted for a moment. "Bella-Bella, how are you? Did I make your heart beat fast again?" Ronan sat beside me then envelop my shoulder. I could almost hear his breath.

"Of course not, you idiot." I answered, pissed off.

"You're wearing your favorite dress today. Anong ganap? Are you going on a date later?" He asked jokingly.

I shook my head. "Nah. You know that you're my favorite person."

"That's good to hear 'cause you're still young. Did you understand?" I nodded--- awkwardly.

"Let's go?" He asked while riding on his bike. I didn't answer anymore, I just rode at the bike and we left the place.

The whole town was full of people today because it's Saturday. I waved back to a child when he waved at me, without getting shy 'cause we ain't know each other.

We stopped right away after seeing an ice cream parlor near at the municipal hall. Ronan, carefully stepped down the break.

"Careful," he said. The bike's high so it's also hard to get down. Ronan gave me a smile after that. He's so cute.

"Hurry up, I want to eat some ice cream you know!" I squealed in excitement--- nervous rather. I lied.

"Yeah" he shrugged. "Done!" He added. He took my hands. I immediately remove it from him. His eyebrows rise making me to see more of his eyes. Black rounded eyes, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, a perfect set of white teeth, his sweet smile. . . So just perfect.

"Good morning ma'am, sir, what's your order? We have our special pizza today. The love pizza which only costs 3
600 pesos!"

Ronan laughed a bit. "A love pizza? What do you think Bella?" Then he faced me with a smile.

I got stunned. "Ugh. . ."

"Nevermind Bells. Anyway, I'll get it and 2 spicy strawberry flavor of ice cream." Based on what I have observed, this cashier has a crush on Ronan.

"Is that only sir?"

Ronan nodded. "Yes." He answered.

The cashier gave us a number then we find an empty table for us.

"Right there!" I suggested. Ronan agreed. We sat on an empty table near at the window. While waiting, I couldn't speak so I put my attention outside the store.

"How's your vacation nga pala Bella?" Ronan suddenly asked after drinking a cold glass of water. "Did you have fun with--- you know." I know what he meant, a person whom he doesn't want me to say their names anymore.

"Y-yeah. . . They misses you, Ronan especially her." Ronan took a deep breath before he answered my question.

"Really?" I nodded. "You know what, I'm pretty sure that I'm not yet ready."
