Summer Lovin' (Completed)

Summer Heartaches

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my routine for this morning:

Smile at the customers.

Ask for their orders.

Smile again at the customers.

Steal glances of what Copter is doing.

Glare at Bas.

Repeat.

Don't let my calm face fool you coz right now, I'm seeing red.

Why?

Last night, I slept at the couch of our room while Cop slept on the bed. I actually wanted to sleep next to him but I figured that he may not want that to happen so I did my best to control myself. To make things worse, the first thing I wanted to see this morning was Cop's face but the moment I woke up, Cop was already gone.

And I don't know if it's just me but why do I have this strong feeling that Cop is trying to avoid me and Bas is getting mother freaking extra clingy with Cop today?

Someone please explain something coz all these thoughts are driving me crazy!

But of course, I have to stay calm. Customers should not be affected by the battle that's currently happening in my mind.

"One banana split and one vanilla sundae. Would that be all?" I asked with the smile that I faked and the customers nodded in reply.

With slightly heavy steps, I walked my way to the kitchen but then I suddenly bumped into Bas who was being chased by Cop.

"Ooops, sorry P. I didn't see you there."

"It's okay." I replied. It was obviously not okay but I'm guessing Bas had no idea. "What were you guys doing anyway?" I added.

"Nothing that concerns you P!" Copter suddenly butted in. He smiled at me awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Copter clearly hates me now. I should just drown myself in the beach.

While looking quite flustered, Copter grabbed Bas away. But after a few seconds, he came back as if he forgot something.

"You need anything, Cop?" I asked.

"Here." He said and took my left hand, placing an energy drink on it. "You must be tired."

And in a flash, Copter walked away with Bas, leaving me and my rapidly beating heart.

I don't need this Cop. You're the only one that gives me energy.

But I'll still drink it anyway. Cop gave it to me so of course I'll drink it.

***

After a few hours, Cop's aunt told us to rest for a while. So as of the moment, we are all taking a break

But I freaking can't get near my Copter! Why? Bas is glued to him! A part of my brain's telling me that they're in a relationship and I shouldn't bother anymore but I don't want to jump into conclusions and embarrass myself again. The last time that happened I had a hard time looking for somewhere to hide.

"Jealous much?" Tae said as he sat next to me and offered me a popsicle but I refused.

"Where's your boyfriend?" I asked.

"Sleeping. The cutie must be exhausted."

Yuck.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Tee's not cute. What I meant by yuck was that Tae is getting cheesier day by day and it's bothering me a lot.

But what's bothering me more is how Bas and Cop are whispering to each other right now. Their faces are so close!

"If it's bothering you that much, why don't you stop them?" Tae mumbled, as if hearing the loud thoughts on my mind.

And at that time, I clearly saw Bas kiss Cop's cheek.

I immediately stood up from my seat and hissed "Heck yeah I will." before marching my way to the two annoying lovebirds.

"P!" Copter remarked as he caught sight of me.

I smiled at him in reply then turned my gaze to Bas. "Nong, can I talk to you for a sec?" And not even waiting for his reply, I immediately grabbed his wrist and pulled him away.

Yet suddenly, Copter stopped us, pulling Bas' free hand. "What's this about P?" Cop stammered, looking somewhat alarmed.

My eyebrows flinched as I loosened my grip on Bas' wrist.

"I just want to ask him something." I muttered.

Copter quivered as he wiped beneath his collar. He looked hesitant at first, but decided to ask anyway. "Really? Uhmm... What do... you want to... ask him?"

And I was dumbfounded. Why is he so curious as to what I was going to ask Bas?

"Just a moment, P." Bas said and grabbed Copter to the kitchen.

I have no idea what's going on and my mind is too stressed to think.

And when you're stressed, regrets follow.

I regret getting impatient and deciding to eavesdrop on Bas and Cop's conversation. Wanna know why? Coz I heard this:

"You like P'Kim right?"

"No..."

Cop's voice was lovely as usual but it pierced my heart painfully. So painful that I thought I was going to die there and then.
