Paper Hearts: Terminal Love Affair

THE START

On a dark starry evening, there is a young lady standing at the side of a wide terminal space for buses. As she looks for a sit, she saw a lot of human beings in the terminal until she saw a blue metallic bench with a guy wearing a black hoody jacket, tattered pants, and white Adidas shoes. No one is sitting beside him except for his backpack so she walks towards him.

Is this spot taken? and she asked but the guy just looked at her with a bored expression. So, she just ignored it and sat at the bench as nothing happened.

HER POV

This rude guy is irritating. A while ago, he looks at me with a bored look then now he's already picking on me, and worse of all we are seatmates in this big blue bus with a picture of him beside it, o-oh my bad, it's a picture of an ostrich, not him.

Hey Miss! Why are you smiling like that? Are you somewhat attracted to me now? he said with a grin on his face. Tsk. I want to erase that grin and make him borrow a face from an ostrich.

Hey Miss! I'm being friendly here but you're ignoring me. Am I not that attractive? Don't you like me? Please look at me. He pulled my shoulders to face him and by looking at his face I burst up laughing, he's already teary-eyed, his nose is as red as Rudolfs', his hair is already a mess and for Pete's sake, he is pouting. I may say he's cute, but I won't fall for it.

And now you're laughing at me! You are so cruel, you hurt my feelings like I'm not a human being. Waaaaaah! Mo-mm-my! Mommy! and he cried out loud like a baby and every passenger we're with are looking at us like an irritated grandma and grandpa.

Shut up you cry, baby. You're already making a scene. I whispered and pinched his left arm, but he refuses and cries again and again. Oh Lord, what did I do wrong to deserve this?

As I think of how to make this guy shut up, I remembered that my Mom always gives me a lollipop when I cry. So, I searched my bag and found 2 strawberry-flavored lollipops. I removed the wrapper and put the lollipop on his mouth and the other one to mine and there he shuts up. Tsk, childish.

After that, we fell asleep.

HIS POV

It's already 5 hours and she is still asleep. She's beautiful and innocent as an angel now that she's sleeping but she's as fierce as a lion when she's awake.

I may have cried a while ago, but it is just an act to make her notice me. I don't know why but when I first took a glance at her a while at the terminal, it's kind of brings my heart jump up high, like any minute it will explode with joy and love.
