"So, you still didn't want to tell me who's the girl?"

"Aunty, there's no girl. I don't understand"

"Keep teliing yourself son, I watch you growing up since you can't even walk properly."

"Did you call uncle where is he?" I tried to change the topic, otherwise she will not stop asking me about her.

"He text me that he's on the way back from airport."

So, Hailey now come back from Paris? It's been a week I tried to ignore her. It was so awkward for me after the kiss that night. I shouldn't kiss her back but I should be the one that make a move and not her. F.. I keep thinking about her and the kiss again..

"If you keep thinking about her, you should call her then. You might be miss her."

"No I didn't miss her, I don't want to talk to her too."

"Then you're unfair with her, she didn't do any mistake and why you do that to her?"

"Yes she did a mistake."

"Kissing someone that you like wasn't a mistake at all."

F..... I crane my head in horror looking at my aunty beside me. What I was talking before? Because I keep thinking about her, now my brain has a malfunction to realized what I was doing and what I was talking before. Damn it!

"Come on help me bring the groceries, I have to finish my cook before your uncle going back home."

I keep silent and bring the groceries in my arm. I let aunty to walk in front of me cause I knew we will make a little surprise for her birthday. As what we planned before, she open the door and uncle standing there with a cake and candle, there's also Brenda and......

She standing there with a white rose bouquette. She's smiling and give the rose to my aunty. The rose is beautiful but she's more beautiful than that rose. What should I do now? I've been ignoring her for one week and now she's here. I can't even think-

"You wanna standing here and watching us having barbeque then?"

I make my way and help him prepared the barbeque but I can't help myself not to staring at her in the kitchen. I tried to watch her quietly so no one can notice it. She looks stunning as always, in her dress, in her pajamas, or even in a simple white tshirt like this time. She tie her hair in a messy ponytail and some of little hair came out on the side of her cheek. I keep watching her, the way she's talking, the way she's smiling. I keep making myself look busy with Marie but I still have a chance to have a look at her. I took a picture with my camera to documentation all these moments but I can't help myself to shoot her picture from afar. Why it was so difficult to stay away from her? Why she made me feel such a bizarre feeling whenever she's with me? I didn't even understand why I'm making my way through her now.

"Hey.. what are you doing?"

"leave me alone." She's ignoring me.

"Hey.. why so cranky?" well, this line good enough to make her look at me, but she just keep staring with her serious face.

"What?" yeah woman, I'm not a code breaker to know every single matrix or code that you've given. She keep ignoring me and take a glass and pouring wine into it.

"Oh.. you just ignoring me this time?"

"Can you just said it to yourself?" she said quietly. I take a deep breath before finally I said.

"I... I just need a time to think..."

"Think? What are you thinking about?" she move right in front of me now.

"You." That words came out abruptly but that was a honest answer. Yeah, I was thinking about her a bit too much.

Hailey Jordan

"You"

So he's thinking about me? Is it true? One week thinking about me but not even reply my text nor even call me back. Oh my.. I'm feeling like a desperate woman asking his attention.

"Hell to the loooo.. Hello.. come back here Hailey." He waves his palm in front of my face and take me back from my trance.

"I don't believe you." I said.

"I'm not asking you to believe me too. I'm just.. I'm just telling you."

"So.. if that was not mine, is it hers?" I look at Marie there.

"Uhhh?" he confused.

"The kiss?" I said shyly and he just realized what I was meant before.

"Ohh.. Why you asking me that? What I was thinking... umm that day maybe you just feeling terrified and you can't hold your emotion and ended up like that. The kiss was meant nothing."

The kiss was meant nothing?? Okay that hurts.. why the hell that statement should be hurting me so badly.

Keep that in your mind Hailey.. The kiss was meant nothing.. nothing..
