Everything I Didn't Say | M.C

ELEVEN

Tuesday morning in New York was nice as I got up from my bed looking on the wide glass window seeing the busy streets, cars was on traffic, people walking by. Such a typical day as a New Yorker, I guess. This is my first time being here. I look around and seems like George is already woken up but his bed is still messy. I walk out of the room and saw him standing on the side of the table, looking good as he is. He’s wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, a black skinny jeans and a white converse.

“Hi. You’re up really early?” I said.

He turned around to look at me and give me a warm smile.

“Good morning how’s your sleep?” George said as he walks a little closer to me.

“All good. What time is it? You’re so ready, where are you going?” I asked.

We both took a seat on the table.

“Before I answer your question let’s have a breakfast. Pancakes smells good, if you want a sandwich there’s a clubhouse on your right side. Oh yeah, it’s 8:12am.” He said.

I open the medium size lid of the plate and the pancake was really looking good. Perfectly cooked and its round with no flaws. George and I start eating then somehow I feel a little bit uncomfortable about this.

“George..” I murmur.

“Yeah?” He raised his right eyebrow.

“This is too much. I mean we could check in here, I could pay or I could pay you.”

“Lai, please. It’s okay. Consider this as my treat it’s fine with me. I don’t expect or assume something after this.. I quite enjoy being your company right now.” He said.

It was a bit flattering when George said that. Maybe this is really a good start of a new friendship. I hope.

“Thanks for everything..” I said shyly.

George and I were done eating he took a sit on the bed and watch the TV as I ready myself on the bathroom. I checked my phone and Luke already texted me Michael’s class schedule last night theirs a shiver all over my body, can I do this? Can I face him with no fear? Will he talk to me? Tons of questions bombing my head, I took a shower and feel the warm water on my body and rest for a little more time. After that I dry myself and wear my dark blue jeans short, a white V-neck shirt and my white Keds then dry my hair quickly and put little make up just to make me look alive. As I went out of the bathroom George is already standing there.

“Yeah?” I said.

He walks forward to me and grab my hand then he drop something on my palm as I look on I gasped.

“But how did you get this?!” My voice was loud.

It was the necklace, my necklace, the one that Michael gave to me.

“I told you I went to your dorm and when I almost out your roommate follow me and hand me that.” George said.

“What? But why she did that? I literally left this.” I feel confused.

“She just told me, you might need that if I found you and she told me you just left that on your bed.”

“Well thanks, I think I might really need this today.”

“So are we ready get going? Where’s our first stop?” He chuckled and playfully do some random dance in front of me.

I laughed.

“You’re like a monkey boy George.” I smiled softly.

“At least I make you smile. I like it when you smile like you’re a bit shy..”
