The One That Got Away-s.rj x c.js

21

I've never been this excited to go home, not until right now. As soon as my driver pulled off in front of the school gate, I hoped in quickly and asked him to go straight home.

The ride went smooth. We came home safely. I ran upstairs after getting off the car. I wanna see that girl already. I opened the door of my room and her smiling face welcomed me.

"You're here!" She squealed happily.

"Yes, I'm here!" I ran to her and kissed her forehead.

"What did you do while I'm gone?" I asked as she hugged me.

"I just sat here and waited for you."

"Aww, this babe is behaved." I pinched her cheeks.

"I'm gonna change my clothes first." I removed her arm from me and entered the closet.

"I'm back!" I said after putting my used clothes on the laundry bin.

"Come here, I want hugs from you. You're so soft." She opened her arms wide and snuggled with me in my bed.

"Are you still sick?" I touched her neck and grabbed the thermometer that's lying on the nightstand.

"Open your mouth." I put the thermometer under her tongue after turning it on and waited for the beep.

"36.7!" I smiled at the result.

"I didn't feel sick this morning but your Mama still insisted for me to take the medicines." She said and buried her face in my neck.

"We need to make sure that's why Mama did that." I said and hugged her tighter.

"I missed you." Her breath on my neck sent me shivers.

"I was just out for some hours."

"Still, I missed you." She looked at me and pouted.

"This cute babe." I pinched her cheeks and hugged her again.

"You'll be back to school the day after tomorrow." I said.

"Why not tomorrow?"

"Because we still need to make sure." I said and kissed her cheek.

"This clingy kid, what are you gonna do if I got myself a partner?" She stared at me for a minute before answering.

"That won't happen soon." She playfully smile at me.

"I'm not courting you yet, how are you gonna have a partner?" My mouth gaped with the indirect confession. She miled at me and winked.

"A—are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking, Miss?" I shook my head as an answer.

"I'm not joking. Just wait, okay?" I nodded with what she said. I felt her warm lips on my forehead.

"Did you eat lunch?" She nodded continuously making her look so adorable.

"Good, you'll be in trouble if you didn't." I said half-threatening her.

The rest of the day went like that. Me and Vin snuggling at my bed. We ate some foods while snuggling. I opened the television in my room and we watched some movies but ended up having a food fight. After cleaning our mess, I told her to change clothes for she might get sick again if she'll be in her sweaty clothes. I did the same too. We were called for dinner minutes later.

"Mom! Dad!" I shouted as I saw my parents entering our house. I engulfed them with a hug and kissed their cheeks.

"Oh hi, our princess is clingy today." They kissed me on both my cheeks after saying those words.

They excused themselves right after to change clothes before joining us for dinner. We sat at the dining room and waited for my parents to come. My brother, on the other side, is trying his best to climb up the chair. I was about to stand up and help him but Vin helped him already.

"Thank you, noona." He said and smiled showing his eye smile. I too, smiled, at the view.

"Let's eat." My parents walked in and sat with us. We prayed before digging in.

"We'll be upstairs." I kissed my parents goodnight and went straight to my room with Vin. We brushed our teeth at the bathroom, taking mirror selfies while making funny faces. We took some videos too.

I sat on my bed after finishing my skin care routine and changing into my pink silk pyjamas. Vin wore a blue one matching mine. We took some mirror selfies and more pictures as we laid on the bed. She asked me to send it to her through her e-mail which I did. In just a minute, her phone started beeping.

"Why is that beeping?" I said pointing at her phone.

"I posted our picture on one of my SNS accounts." She said and opened her phone.

After tapping on our phones for a while, I decided to bring her into my studio.

"Why are we here in your closet?" She asked me as I pull her by hand. I smiled at her and opened another door inside the walk-in closet. The lights automatically lit and revealed my musical instruments.

"Wow." She exclaimed and went inside.

"Welcome to my safe haven."

"You got a recording booth too?!" She pointed at the small area in the room. I nodded at her and smiled.

"Do you wanna hear some of my songs?" I asked her.

"Of course yes!" I went near the computer I use for mixing and browse some of my folders.

"Holy cow! These songs are yours?" I nodded at her.

"Yes, I wrote those songs. You can see my name in these artists' song profiles."

"Holy crap!" She showed me one of the artists that sung my song.

"I can't believe it! Wow! You wrote songs with Shawn Mendes?!" One of his songs entitled, Young Blood, was co-written by me.

"Yes, that's what I did last summer." She's still shocked, I can see. I played the song from my computer revealing mine and Shawn's voice together.

"Oh my gosh! I can't!" She browsed more on the internet and asked me a question.

"You wrote songs with Lauv too?!" I nodded again.

"I wrote Paris in the rain with him. That was after my travel around Paris." I explained.

"Since you have these, why don't you create a YouTube channel?"

"Well, I don't think I can do that for now. Maybe on summer?" I hesitated.

"I'll sing with ya." She smiled showing her whisker-like dimples.

"Speaking of you singing, let's try to record this song." I showed her the lyrics of Wannabe, a song which I wrote also.

"Cool, let's record this someday. I'll study the lyrics, send me the tune." I sent it to her through e-mail.

"I'll get by this tomorrow." She winked at me and slipped her phone in her pyjama.

"Do you play instruments?" I asked her.

"Not really, but I sing, rap and dance." She showed me some moves.

"You're cool." I said and I saw her blush. I smiled and pinched her cheek. I grabbed the electric guitar and plugged it in an amplifier. I positioned a mic near me and sang. I saw her jaw dropped.

"Holy—I'm your fan! Please sign me an autograph!" She shouted which made me laugh at the microphone. This kid really knows how to flatter me. I winked at her and continued singing until I reached the last line.

"and I love you so..."
