Chap 4

"I don't think it's the time yet. But, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for the time to come around and us, against the world."

"What? We just met and-

"I can't explain it to you now. I don't want you to get scared. I'm afraid you don't want to see me after I tell you about it..."

"I'll let you explain to me once you're ready. We still try to get to know each other..." You said. He looks relieved but, you can tell he's not ready. "Okay. Cool." You smiled at him. You switch on your laptop and start typing whatever that's on your mind. "What are you doing? Wait, you write books?" He asked. "Yeah."

"Wait, ArtsyWords, for real?"

"Yeah but why?"

"I did read one of the story that you published. I read it online and I love it. You don't know how happy I am cause I've got a chance to meet you..." Your fingers stop typing when you hear that he's happy to meet you. This is like the first time someone adore your work. Most of people, they'd judged you. "I'm glad to hear that. I received like insults and anything, that's negative bout what I write and my career..."

"Really? You know what, I appreciate every single people that's on earth, that work their ass off to go to work. I know that not everyone is born to be lawyer, engineer, doctor or whatever it's... Yes, those jobs, you got highly paid but, those who write, whether it's a poetry book or other types of book genre, it's not something that everyone really capable of. It's not easy to find the words though and you have to use your imagination... It's a piece of art. But, sadly, people only show a little appreciation towards them."

"Hey, Harlyn. I-

"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I can't stand with those people that judge others as if the person they're talking with have no feelings. It's sucks." He said. "Yeah. I'm glad there's still someone like you out there. Thank you. You're so precious."

"Dont say you're-

There you're, crying. He's just too nice and you feel like he's so purely innocent and the world don't deserve him."HONEY! WHY ARE YOU CRYING???"

"YOU? DID YOU JUST MADE HER CRY?HEY!"

"I-I'm

He hands you some tissue and "No, mum. I'm just, I feel a little emotional... He's just-

You start crying again."Are you on your period?" He asked. You quickly wipe your tears and "No. I'm not. I just, I don't know.."

"I heard it. But, he looks guilty..." Your mum said. His reaction is precious and, you finally, laugh out loud. You're literally laughing and it makes you, looking like a sane girl. "Yeah. Hey, it's not your fault though. Damn, you're so innocent..." You said. "I'm terrified you know. I thought that it was an insult when you start to cry..."

"I love your vanilla scent, young man." You saw your dad, standing behind your mum. He put his workcase on the sofa and hug your mum from behind. "Honey! You're home! Where have you been??"

"I'm at the workplace. My phone died when I'm about to text you." He said. You love seeing your parents together. After all these years they've got each other back. Yes, they did argued but they always find their way back to each other. They're like magnets. Their love is so strong and probably, lasts for eternity. You admire the love they built and you wish that you're going to meet a man just like your dad.

"Sorry, we're here too." You said, clearing your throat. "Sorry, darling. So who is this man, huh?"

"A friend." You said. He stand up and introduce himself. He had a handshake with your dad. "Harlyn? I know your dad, Mr Hunter. I'm glad my daughter met you before I get to introduce you to her."

"Oh really? I didn't know about that. Anyway, nice to meet you again, Mr Xavier." He said and "Nice to meet you again, Harlyn. Well, excuse me for now."

"I think I've to go."He said.  

"Thank you for having me." You planted a kiss on his cheek. "No problem. We always welcome you! Do come again whenever you're free!!" You said. He waves at you and give you a flying kiss. "That's cute!" You yelled.

"I know that I'm cute." He yelled back.

"You're the cutest!" You added.
