After All

chapter - 3 this is it!

The best things in life happens when you least expecting it.

i guess thats what im feeling right now. everything is perfect.

The breakfast went well and Brian told my parents about the dinner. They never refuse nor ask but i think they are confuse, who whould think that Brian my best friend since 7th grade will ask me out. no one not even me.

So he will pick me at 4 in the afternoon he told me that we will go down town so it is 2 hours drive from here which will result in 2 hours of being stock in the car however im not complaining.

Im sitting at my bed while looking at my clock. Its only 11 am so I have lots of time to prepare. I called mel to help me, she is good in cosmetics than i am. I cant even put a lipstick perfectly what more applying mascara or anything make up.

"hey,! hey! i told you! i told you!" Mel squeal as soon as she enter my room. my door create a loud thud in my wall that makes me sligthly jump in my bed.

"huh? what are you talking about?" i ask in confusion.

"i told you that Brian likes you!" she holds my shoulder and shake it as if she wants me to throw away.

"calm down mel. ok? and first of all you never said anything. Ok? i told her moving my heads in negative way

"i did" she knit her eyebrow and look at me

i laugh. "nope" popping the p.

i stand up and go to my closet. I already know what im going to wear but i need second opinion. Every girls need some critics.

"really i have a feeling that Brian likes you ever since, but i just close my mouth. im just an observant, you know." i look at my friend she seems to have star in her eyes because her dark black eyeball is shining. i laugh at her thought.

I give her my dress. its a royal blue , an inch above my knee. Blue is my color. Thats why i choose it. Its a gift from my mom last christmas but i mever wear it. Before i was so confuse of her giving me dresses which i barely touch nor wear. But now i should be thankful to my mom.

She stole the dress in my hand and smirk at me. "you are learning my friend. Good choice"

I roll my eyes at her she knows me very well that i dont know fashion or anything for that matter. I just want to be simple. But i guess not today. I need to be pretty just once in a while.

I take a shower for the second time this day. Thanks for the heater the cold doesnt get too much in my skin. and after that Mel started her magic to me. She is doing my make up first. Im feeling sleepy so i started to talk

"Mel?"i called her in a hush voice

"Hmmm."She answered without lifting her hand in my face. She is doing my eyebrow now. Did i told you that my eyebrow is definetly a mess? yeah. thats my most hated part of my face. The sad part in here is that i dont know how to make it beautiful using some colored pen. so frustrating. But i made it clear to that my make up must be too simple and not over dramatic.

I cleared my throat.

"You think.. He'll be back?" I asked hesitantly. I choose carefully what are my words because i dont want to suffer from her rant. But i guess luck doesnt go with my side at this moment.

Mel stop what she's doing. Therefore I reluctantly open my eyes. She os now looking at me furiously, crossing her arm across her chest.

I advert my gaze at the floor as if searching for help. i should kick my head right now.

"You know very well Li that i hate your used to be guy right?. She said in pure hard voice.

I just nod. I take a deep breath, relax my body and closing my eyes. The silence between us is very uncomfortable so i decided to speak.

"I am so afraid of seeing him again. I am so afraid that when he gets back and saw him i still have feelings for him.. i dont know Mel. what if i hurt Brian. Im confuse.." i voice out my doubtful thougths.

I feel hands on my shoulder. "Look at me Li," i obliged and open my deep brown eyes. Mel smiling at me. A smile of comforting. A smile of understanding.

"You worry too much. just enjoy the moments Li, nothing is permanent in this world. Your hurt is just tempory. Even love.. even the strongest emotion. Everything is bound to end. and after that Only memory left with us, which we treasure forever. So now, cherish whats offering to you. Leave the future to God. He know what His doin.."

With my teary eyes i hug her tight.

"I am so thankful that you are my friend. I dont know what im gonna do if you are not here".

She pat my back "you mean when you need someone who could do your make up?" teasing me with my drama.

We release in our reunite. I bump my shoulder to her. And smile. "you know what. I should be working or else Brian will be annoy of you being late."

"Yea. Right"

We both know Brian very well. He hate late, or waiting. His patience is so short as a marine short cut hair.

After an hour or two she had finish everything. From hair to make up. She even help me to choose the right accessories that suit with my dress. Even my shoes. I preferred flats i dont want to be trying hard in walking with some pointed heels. Its so disgusting

15 minutes to 4 im standing in front of my full lenght mirror hanging my jaw in an aww.

"Wow". Thats the only word i can say. Im just so amazed. My hair is on curly wavey like, it just stay on my back. And my make up is what i like the most she stay on the theme of simple yet elegant look.

"Love what you see?" Mel said with a smirk plaster in her face. A smile of victory.

"You turn me into a princess. You are my fairygod mother"We laugh in unison.

"A frap in starbucks will do to thank me sis.."

"Coffee jelly. I know.."

The doorbell ring and my heart skip a beat.

I put my right hand on my left chest trying to relax my self. i think my heart will come out any minute.

"Dont be nervous. It is just Brian. Ok?

I inhale exhale. And smile widely.. "this is it"

I run to the door and slowly open it.

I was paralyzed. My head swirl in 180° west to east.

But i do my best to say something before he realize he affect me that much..

"Hi" i nervously greeted him.
