"Fancy seeing you in my turf"

I smiled slightly and turned to face the owner of the voice.

"Hello Ace"

He gave me his usual charming smile and a nod.

"So how come you are here? I thought you were busy today" his voice did not sound bitter but it did have a lace of confusion.

"Ah about that" I said, rubbing my neck. I stood up and faced him.

"What about it?" He asked, gesturing me to sit back down and he took a seat beside me.

I turned to him and he raised an eyebrow.

"So?"

"Well,. I thought I had photography today but I may have messed up my schedule?" I said, biting the tip of my tongue and smiling sheepishly.

He stared at me before he broke into a laugh.

"It's alright" he said and I nodded, rubbing my right arm with my left.

"We can go on a walk as a date" he said and I turned to him wide-eyed.

He seemed genuine about his words.

"O- Of course" I replied, standing up and dusting my sweats.

This was when I realized I may have looked like a hobo. I didn't even check my appearance before coming out of the room.

I hastily pushed my hair down as we walked down the bleacher steps to the ground.

"So how come you were here?" He asked me, looking over to me and catching me watching his oh-so-perfect features. My face heated up and I looked away, ahead of us.

"It was quiet here so I came. I was at the basketball court. The girls have a game against Kirun and his team" I replied kicking the rocks in my path.

"And you didn't stay back to watch them?" He asked me and I shrugged.

"I came to clear my mind" I replied, absentmindedly.

"Alright then. I hope your mind is cleared" he said and I looked up to him, already staring down at me.

"Yeah" I whispered and just like that, i got lost in his amazing brown orbs.

One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.

Awkward.
Very awkward.

I was the one to look away first. It was too awkward to continue. I don't know why dramas have to show us this stupid scene. It doesn't even make sense!

"Uh yeah. So you won't be free tomorrow?"

I shook my head, no.

"Then some other day. I'll call you?" He asked and I nodded, smiling up at him.

"You don't have my number though" I replied and he gave me a sly smile.

"That's what you think Indah dearest" he winked at me and I chuckled lowly.
