Falling in Love with the Red Ranger

Mac & I & Cam

Chapter 6

After that incident Mac and I became inseparable. We don’t usually go out because of his power ranger duty but he always make sure we have time for each other even just for a while and most of it spending time at the roof top looking at the sky counting stars and measuring the size of the moon, having late night snacks and a couple of drinks. I find my visit quite interesting and every day I became closer to Mac.  I don’t know if this feeling seems normal at all.

One day Uncle Andrew called me. I went to the lawn I set across my Uncle. He looks so serious and I don’t know why but I got nervous. “Hey Uncle.” I tried it to keep it casual. “Have a seat.” He didn’t reply my greetings, which makes me more nervous. It’s as if I did something wrong. “Here, I’ll pour you some tea.” I was just silent waiting for him to open up. “Summer is almost over.” He starts. “When do you plan on going home?” I was taken a back with his question then I guess he must have realized what he just said. “Please don’t take it as if I push you away. I just ask.” He looks at me apologetically. I already have stayed long anyway which isn’t my plan but I never thought I could hear that from Uncle himself. He usually wants me to stay more. I probably must have enjoyed staying here and forgot home, my responsibilities and school. “No it’s okay Uncle I can go back next week. I have other things to do too before going back to school anyway and in fact I am already behind schedule so it should be next week.” I just smiled and thinking of leaving makes me feel like I’m dying or something. Uncle reaches out his hand and holds mine. “I wish I could let you stay more Fefe. If only things are less complicated I would really love you to stay as much as you want to.” He sounded sad. I’m sad too. I stand up and head towards Uncle where he seated and hugged him. “Same here Uncle.” Uncle just concerns about me, after what happened with that monstrous Moltor I bet its better we will not see each other rather than I will be in danger all the time.

At the roof top while waiting for Mac, thinking of leaving is really painful and I don’t know how to say goodbye to Mac. I sighed. “Wow that’s a heavy one.” It was Mac. I didn’t notice his presence. “Hey, how long have you been there?” “Will not that long.” He smiled and seat beside me.”What’s wrong?” I just stared at him I can’t tell him right now. I just don’t have the courage to do it; I’ll just tell him when it’s near. “Never mind, so how was your day?” He smiled.”Awesome, as always.” He looks at me intently when he said it. It’s as if the awesomeness of his day is because of me, assuming I suppose, but sometimes you can read peoples mind.

Last night was not like the other night. I want to be with him more now that I’m leaving. Still, I couldn’t find the right time to tell him that I will leave.

We sat under a tree, I can get used to being with him and it feels comfortable. It feels like I want to do it like forever and worry nothing. But I have to worry because he is my cousin and this feeling of mine worries me. He held his guitar, he promised to play me something and I am so excited what will it be. “Ready?” He says smiling. “Yep.” I smiled back. He slowly started to strum the guitar and key in the first chord and another and another and started to sing along with it while looking at me in the eye.

♪♪♪ You are the song, playing so softly in my heart

I reach for you, you seem so near yet so far

I hope and I pray, you’ll be with me someday

Coz I know down inside you are mine and I’m your true love

Or am I dreaming….♪♪♪

 I know the song, the title is “You are my Song” but I just continued listening to him.

♪♪♪How can I

Each time I try to say goodbye

You were there

You look my way and touch the sky

We can share tomorrow and forevermore

I'll be there

To love you so

You are my song

I know for sure

That we were meant to fall in love

I look in your eyes

I know what you're thinking of

I try not to say

The words that might just scare you away

I know down inside

That you are mine & I'm your true love

Please, no more dreaming...

How can I

each time I try to say goodbye

You were there……. ♪♪♪

Listening to him makes me want to cry, my heart is heavy I want to hug him. It’s making me more difficult to say goodbye. He stops from playing. “Hey what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” He puts the guitar down and wipes the tears from my face and he looks at me with concern. I didn’t realize that tears I’ve been holding were out without my consent. “Oh, it was nothing.” I’m trying to hide the sadness in my voice.”It’s just the song; it’s kind of put me into a melodramatic mood. Hehehe it was nothing really.” It was my only disguised. I really can’t tell him that I’m leaving. He hugs me and I just rest my head in his chest trying to wipe away the thought of leaving.

Uncle Andrew from afar: Spencer and I just watching Fiona and Mac behind the window.”Master?” “I don’t know how it is possible Spencer. I just don’t get it; it wasn’t part of the program.”

The next day Mac and I at the Mansion’s training room, he wants me to learn some kicking moves. I’m in a white Karategi(karate uniform) uniform and him in his red, it is so him. “Ready?” He asks. “Ready when you are.” I replied smiling. He teaches me some hand moves and some kicking and how to defend from hand attacked and so on and so forth. “Okay now let’s apply what you have learned, attack me.” “Okay game on.” He laughs. I punch him. He catches it. “Not good enough, more.” I tried another punches. “Yah!  Yah!  Yah!” But I punch only the air. I kicked in but my foot strung on something, I can’t balance. “Wooh” I would have fall into the floor but he catches me I end up above him and him on the floor, his arms around me, our face is 4 inches apart, I can’t just move so does he, our eyes resting in each others. He moves his head slowly a little more closely. I know exactly where it is going I would have to like it if he weren’t my cousin. I immediately get up from where we landed and said.”I should probably go. I still have to help Spencer cooking dinner.” Him, still lying on the floor I can feel his disappointments. I hurriedly went upstairs without looking back.

I felt awkward of what happened with Mac. I am avoiding him as much as possible and I hope that he is doing the same thing too so that it would be easier for me.

Today I went out for a walk strolling around downtown, I never felt this so alone. I missed Mac’s presence. I am not really attentive of where I am going because I really don’t have any idea where to go and suddenly, I was hit at the back of my head. “Ouch!” I said while rubbing my head. “Are you hurt? I’m so sorry Miss” Someone tells me, when I turn to look it a guy with light brown fly away hair, tan complexion, with lightly shaven mustache and beard bright green eyes and pinky lips wearing a sleeveless shirt showing off those lean muscles and jeans. When he realizes I didn’t say anything and just staring, he added. “How I could I ask if you are hurt of course you do. I am sorry I am not really good at catching this.” He is holding a blue Frisbee after he picks it up.”Again I’m sorry; I’m Cam by the way.” He handed his right hand to me and put on a smile showing his evenly size teeth. I just smiled “Fiona here.” and shake his hand.
