you were my eyes when I couldn't see
🌸
I went out from the library blushed with embarrassments. Slapped my own mouth slowly remembering what just happened in the library. The way the librarian looked at me after I loudly said the 'yes' without me myself realising it, ohno I must have lost my mind in there!
"Hey El!"
Someone called my name and I hear footsteps getting closer to me. I turned around and Adrian was standing behind me, two steps apart from me. "You left your notebook at the library", he handed me my favourite little green notebook to me. Spontaneously I grabbed it and put it in my bag. "Thank you Adrian. That means a lot to me".It was a relived that I got my very important notebook with me. The only thing left by my late grandma for me.
"Where are you going?", he asked politely.
"Cafe. I'm thinking about grabbing some foods and drinks before my last class for today", I started to step forward. Slowly then after he catch up with my steps, we walked in rhyme. "Wanna go with me? It's my treat. A thanks for your help with the notebook", I asked.
"Sure. We got club's things to do after school today so foods and drinks is seriously needed", he paused talking as someone greeted him. Let's say he's quite famous, an athlete that can play musicals instruments very well with few addons, tall and goos looking. "But a little correction, that notebook thing was not a really big deal actually so I can pay for my own foods", he continued.
"No, when I said it means a lot to me, know that I really meant it. Plus, I have things to discuss with you. My treats, full stop", I said decisively and he chuckled.
We arrived at the cafe and it was packed with students minding their own businesses. Many students were busy finishing their foods, others were playing video games with friends, there were also the genius that bring their books and read it wherever they are including the cafe and there were also few students that busy cuddling and kissing with their girlfriends or boyfriends. Felt grateful enough that nobody is making out on the cafe's table.
After we found a sit for two, I told Adrian to wait for me and I went alone to the counter to place the orders after I asked what Adrian wanted to eat and drink.
"Good morning Isha, what would you like to eat?".
"Morning, Mrs. Ravinson. Hmm, two set of Set Lunch C, one large iced lemon tea and one large vanilla milkshake", I said my orders twice to make it clear for Mrs. Ravinson. She told me the total paymen and I handed her cash and after the payment was settled, she gave me a piece of receipt with a number written on it.I walked to the nearest chair and wait patiently. When the number on my receipt appeared on the small screen at the counter, I stood up and walked to the counter and grabbed the two trays, each with medium size of fries, fruit salad and burger.
I just decided to leave the two cups of drink I have ordered and come back again after I put the foods on the table when a pair of hand took the trays from my hand. "You take the drinks with you", Adrian said softly with his face only a few inches from my face. It was so close that I can smell the mint-like-breath of his. I stunned as a memory hit me hard like a dejavu, that smell.
I felt like the time was ticking so slow as my eyes explored his face, adoring the good looking creature in front of me. So close staring eyes to eyes with me. His eyes, his lips and his smile.
"Randy...", I whispered slowly and he frowned. "Who is that?", with curious tone, Adrian asked and it helped me went straight back to the reality. "El, are you okay?", he waved his head trying to catch my attention. "You spaced out", he frowned with a little smile. The way he speak. Randy...
I tried not to let myself drown in my own memories and took both of the drinks and followed his steps back to our table. "Are you okay El?", he asked again.
I nodded and started to take my first bite to distract him from asking more questions. "Ah yes, about the things I wanted to discuss with you", he looks like he was planning to ask question so I decided to change the topic.
"Yes, what is it?" he responded.
"It is about your first duty as the musician head section", I sipped my vanilla milkshake and he sipped his iced lemon tea. Randy's favourite lemon tea.I lifted my eyes and found sparkles in his eyes. He was excited with what I just said so I continued, "for the gala night you have to lead your section for a 2 hours of live band session. Meaning anyone can request for you to play the song they want to sing live", as I finished explaining, I can sense the excitement in him became even greater.
"So, who is going to play for that night? I mean 35 members are not a small number and it would be impossible for all of them to play for just 2 hours", he asked me excitedly.
"Ask yourself. As the head, you have the responsibility to choose your team for that night. From 35 members to 8 members, I would like to see how will you work with that", I lifted my right eyebrow, challenging him.
"I'll show you the best of me El. Will do it for the sake of the club and for you, especially", he smiled charmingly as he stared at me. I chuckled and took another big bite of the burger.
The lunch went normally again until he suddenly said something that amazed me in so many different weird feelings.
"You are so beautiful when you eat", I searched for his eyes and was stunned when mine met his. I can't help myself but keep on remembering back the first love of my life, Randy. He compliment me with the same as what Adrian have said just now.
"Ergh, I mean, always beautiful", when he realized I was stunned, he continued. I can't help but but to keep on letting myself drown into the memories.
"Sorry Adrian, I have to go first. Don't wanna arrive late at my last class. Thank you", afraid if I might burst into tears in front of him, I left him with curiosity on his face.
Few centimeters away from him, I hear his footsteps getting closer to me as if he was running so fast approaching me. "El, wait for me!". I stood still when he grabbed my hand and turn me around.
"I saw this yesterday when I was out shopping with my mom and the first person that came into my mind when I saw this was you, amazingly. It would look great with you", he grabbed my right hand and put two red small ribbons, hair accessories on my right palm.
I was amazed. "Put it on", he said.
Slowly I put it on my hair when I saw he was begging with his eyes.
"Beautiful!", he smiled and his eyes was shining beautifully. "Now let's us walk together it you want. My chemist class and your physics class are only few next doors apart", he offered. I nodded, accepting his offer.
On the way to the class, suddenly a girl came running to Adrian. "Adrian, thanks for the bracelet you bought for me, it's beautiful", the girl thanked him gracefully.
I smirked. Waited for his reaction and when he said, "My pleasure. Thanks goodness you love it", I know I have made the right decision to not letting the butterflies feelings got into me easily with his sweet actions and Randy's aura-presence in him.
"See you soon", we waved each other goodbye before splitting way into our own classes.
