Chapter 23

Ong

Ben. Ben just kissed me. And I kissed him back. What the fuck? He pulled away first.

"Uhh, s-sorry Ong. Shit."

"I-It's alright Ben. I liked it." SHIT. Why did I say that?

"Yo-you did?"

"Y-yes.", I replied and blushed. He smiled and hugged me. I was shocked but still hugged him back. I can smell his strawberry scent which made me lean even more. His sweet scent makes my heart flutter. Am I head over heals for Ben?

"Ong, I need to say this. I like you, like a lot. I did ever since I started working with you. You are so interesting. You are shy yet so caring. You make my heart skip a beat whenever I see you. I like you Ong."

Did he ju- Did he just confessed to me? Ben? The Ben that makes me blush? the Ben that makes my heart flutter? my co-worker Ben?

"Uuhh, Ben I"

"You dont have to feel the same way Ong. Me confessing is already enough. Atleast I can finally get it out and say it to you.", he smiled.

"Ben, I like you too. Like, a lot as well."

"Wait, really?!"

"Yes, really B-"

I did not have the time to answer because he kissed me. I was shocked. Slowly, my eyes closed and I kissed him back. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach going wild. He cupped my cheek at I leaned closer. The kiss isn't sexual. It is passionate and loving. We continued kissing, ignoring the groceries that was left outside.

"So Ong, does this make us, you know, a couple?"

"Oh-uh, I dont really know?"

"Do you want us to be?", I blushed at his question. Do I want us to be?

"Y-yes I do, but can we take it slow. My past 'relationship', if you can call it that, is not the best. I dont even know if I already got over him.", I said. Ben stiffened. Shit. Did I just say that I havent moved on from Daniel?

"So, you still like your ex?", he asked.

"I dont know to be honest. I liked him but, what he did really hurt me to the point of- nevermind. I like you Ben. That's what matter. Maybe I'm still hang up from what he did. I hope you can understand."

"I do Ong. I do.", he hugged me and kissed my head. We just stayed at my room, cuddling. It was silent, but a comforting silence. I like this. And I like Ben.

Daniel

"Hey Daniel! Have you met our new neighbor?"

"Uhh, who?"

"The one across our house!"

"Oh, the one who looks British?"

"Yeah! that one! Doesn't he look hot?", she said. I stiffened. Jealousy creeping in.

"Oh-uh, does he?"

"Yeah! He is so- wait, are you jealous?", she smirked.

"Uh n-no I'm not!"

"You are!", she laughed. I don't see anything funny.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing! You just look so cute! I gotta make you jealous more!", she laughed. I glared at her.

"But seriously, we need to meet them! My mother always give basket of fruits to our neighbors whenever we come back here. Since my mother and father are spending time together, I thought that we should be the one giving them out! You know, so we could make new friends.", she smiled. I like that idea. Maybe I could start a new life? No more pretending and problems. I nodded at her and she hugged me tight.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you! Let's give them out tomorrow!"

"Yeah sure.", I smiled at her eagerness. Hey, this is just the start of changing. Maybe I could meet new friends.
