「 F O U R 」
I ran all the way home with tears rolling down my cheeks like in the shows but i finally understood why the girls in the dramas do that. I felt awful. Really awful. Why am i feeling that way? I was the one who rejected him. But deep inside, i still liked him. I could've accepted him, we would have been happily lying on the grass and looking at the stars now but i chose not to.
I'm done with waiting for him to reply when he never would. I'm done with second guessing myself. I'm done with never being his first priority. I'm done.
For some reason when I reached my housing estate Tim was waiting there, rubbing his hands as if he was nervous. When he saw me he immediately stood up with a smile but when he saw my tear stricken face his expression changed totally. "Ro-" Before he could finish he was cut off by me running to his embrace. My wailing never stopped but he never said a word, as if comforting me in silence. Perhaps, only perhaps, he was a better choice.
"Thank you... For today. " I had stop crying by then but my eyes were still swollen and I could subtlely see the tear stains on his shirt where I had been crying for nearly 15 minutes. "There's no need to thank me, Rose. I just want to tell you that, I don't know what happened today but I've never seen you so sad. I won't ask for you to tell me what happened but if you ever need me, I'll be here. " He looked at me straight in the eye with a confidence I never knew he could possess.
I smiled a small smile before bidding my goodbye and going up. He was something Zijie wasn't. But did I really want to go into this whole thing again? No, I had enough.
I was contemplating whether to go for private lessons or not after the whole ordeal, but i knew it was better to. After all, I couldn't let all these affect my performance. When i walked into the school Zijie looked vaguely surprise but he grinned, as if his wish was granted. "Rose about that nigh-"
"I don't wanna talk about it. " I said firmly, making sure my point got across before walking away and starting my stretches. He looked disappointed but accepted what i said either ways, not that he had a choice.
My phone vibrated and of course, it was from Tim.
tim:
hey u free?
You:
gonna start training soon. why?
Tim:
wna catch a movie tonight?
You:
ummm sure
Tim:
Gr8:) lion king 7pm at the shopping mall, see u;)
I chuckled to myself because of the amount of smiley faces he was putting and clicked my phone off but turned behind to have a shock. "Why are you guys watching a movie together? " He raised an eyebrow which made me really want to laugh but i held it in, "why can't we? " he opened his mouth to say something but close it back before walking away and i followed behind happily.
Training passed by quite slowly as I waited for the clock to tick six and rushed home, before Zijie could stop me. I needed to wash up and I wasn't going to show up sweaty and smelly. I brushed my hair into a neat pony tail and slipped into some shorts and tank top with a casual long cotton jacket.
Tim was already waiting there for me while leaning against the wall with a polo tee and jeans and not denying, he looked good. When he saw me his eyes nearly widened by 200% and i burst out laughing at this.
"you look-" he tried to say but couldn't bring himself to say it.
"hot." i continued for him as I teased and walked inside with him laughing behind me as we walked into the movie theatre. The movie was not bad and to be honest nothing happened in the theatre, no skinship, no nothing. And I liked it that way.
He walked me back and the trip was pretty much a comfortable silence with him occasionally glancing at me, thinking that I didn't notice. When we reached the lift I turned behind to say goodbye but he looked like he had things to say so I looked at him expectantly.
"I... I actually like you Rose. "
