What I Think About Love

Life Exam

"Was I too sudden? I shouldn't ask."-Mason said.

"Mason."

"No. You don't have to say it. I know it wasn't the right moment." -he stopped me.

"Mason that's not what I wanted to say."

"Rose. I get it. I was a dick towards you and I don't know either how I dared to think you'd be with me after that."

"Listen to me. I like you okay? Yesterday was an incident and I told you to forget it." -I finally got the word.

"I'm so happy now Rose. You make me so happy." -he lifted me in the air.
---------------------------------------------------------
Me and Mason are a couple for three weeks now. He treats me with respect and calls me fifteen times a day. He likes to make sure that I'm fine. You know I've never met a man who's made me feel so. I'm not sure how to be precise.
But I'm sure he's not like all the other boys, they're all so dumb and immature. I'm sure I like him now. I just feel like someone really cares about me.

When I got back from Portland I received the news. My father is marrying once again.

"You can't do that dad!" -I responded to that whole thing after three weeks of being quite.

"Ro, it's been nine years since your mother died. Don't you think I deserve to be finally happy?"

"Dad, I don't trust her. She's not going to make you happy. Don't you see she's using you?"

"What are you saying Rose? Listen to yourself. I can't believe you're so selfish. I thought you'd be my support."

"Don't get me started on that. You should be happy I'm even talking to you at this moment. Dad, they are bad news. Please believe me."

"I don't want to hear your opinion on it anymore." -he said with a weak and miserable voice.

Tears welled in my green eyes. He didn't listen to me or he had ever. He said I'm selfish. Selfishness is putting the wants of yourself over the needs of others. I need a break from cruel stepfamily, selfish dad and focus on something else. I need Mason right now.

I called Mason but he didn't pick up. His voicemail came so I sat on the bed thinking about what I could do to ease my mind. So I called Noah.

"Noah are you back from your trip?"

"We got back yesterday. Why? Is something wrong?"

"No. I just need a favor. Would you mind if I use your roof for a couple of hours?" -I said all weird out because at that moment I heard how stupid that sounded.

"Well that's not a bizarre question."-Noah said ironically.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking about."

"No, no I'm joking. Of course you can use it. Just say when."

"In about one hour?" -it was ten p.m now so I thought I'd wait for his parents to fall asleep.

"Come to your window." -he hung up.
I waited for him to come to the window. It took him a while.

"You can come now if you want. My parents aren't home for two days, so you don't have to worry about waking them up."

"I need to take a shower first." -I said that with pure thoughts.

"You don't have to be all dressed up for me you know?" -he said jokingly, biting his lower lip.

"Well, you don't anticipate that I wouldn't get all ready for our night."-I said while flirty closing the window.

           I saw his face getting all confused. He didn't see that one coming from me. He's kinda fun to talk with. We have a lot of things to talk and discuss about. It's never serious with him. It always ends up with a joke. I don't like when someone is immature but he knew how to get on my nerves and then suck up to me again.

You know that so-known "shower thoughts" you have? I came up with a smart one. It's all just a test. All of it. One big-ass complicated exam. Most of us fail on it. They don't fail because they are not as pretty, are poor, not that famous or they just done have required things to live their "exam" to the fullest. They fail because they are not trying to be original. No book can be good or appreciated if it's copied. It will get hated on. Why? Because people noticed that the author didn't put effort into his work. Our Author did put effort into us. He gave us all the requirements. He wrote a freaking guide book to tell you how you can pass the exam. You have the chance to use it and look at it whenever you want and rectify all the things you did wrong. People fail because they copy each other. Not realizing that they have a different question paper.

I put my PJ's on and put my home shoes on. I went outside and entered Noah's yard, knocked on his door and waited for Noah to open.
