Chapter 16.1: Semestral Break [Part 1]

Chapter 16.1. Semestral Break [Part 1]

Only one day to go and it's already semestral break and we're planning to have a vacation on one of my parents' land. They said it was near the ocean so it'll be fun. Well, that's what they said.

I've been squirming around my bed. I just can't imagine that the relationship between me and Zach is already real. I just always imagine this before. Note that I have had a crush on him before.

"Did you already pack your clothes?" my brother asked as he open the door. I fixed myself and sat on my bed. I roamed my eyes and I see my luggage full open with clothes thrown inside and outside. I just laugh at what did I do.

"Why won't you fix your room first before I let your boyfriend come in" putting on a quotation to the 'boyfriend' word. I rolled my eyes at him and we both laugh in sync

"Come on. You fixed your room, it's like a pig-pit here" he commented. I pushed him towards the door and closed it. I heard his laugh as he walked through the hallway.

But before I get to decide what should I do, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it a little bit and see Lewis.

"What?" I asked placing my hand on my waist. He just smile at me and said these words, "I have never seen you this happy lil' sis" and walked again. I gently closed the door and smiled at what my brother said.

Now that he mentioned it, he's right. I have never been this happy in my life. I normally just squirm on the bed when something is cheesy in the books I've read but this time this is my story now. A pure reality and I hope I won't wake up in this dream if this is a dream

I slowly roamed my eyes one more and it hit me, my brother is right. My room is like a pig-pit, the only one missing is pigs. I laugh at my silliness and start fixing my room. This wasn't my plan this coming semestral break but I think my room deserves to be fixed anyway. Besides, I never fixed my room since I always get home, soaking in something I didn't know exist because of that person, I call my boyfriend now. I shake my head at what I'm saying and soon let out a silent chuckle. I'm becoming one of the crazy people in a story. You know, the person who feels crazy because of love, well you know what I mean.

I lie on my bed as I stare at the ceiling. This isn't a dream, right? Maybe I read too many fictional stories and I'm dreaming that Zach like me back.

"Icy" I twitch my head where my door is to see who just called me. I quickly sat on my bed to see him clearer. I smile at his appearance and he gladly walked toward my bed with a smile plastered on his face.

"Z" I greeted back. He lie on my bed and I followed. We both stared at the ceiling with complete silence in the four corners of the room until he said something.

"So did you pack your clothes already?" He started. I just nod at his questions. I just still can't believe that this fake thing becomes real, I thought only in stories or movies do these things exist.

He breathes heavily as loud as I can hear it. "Why? What's wrong?" I asked. I looked at him as he stare at the ceiling and breathe more deeply. I reached for his hand and squeeze it.

"It's just we are only beginning to keep this relationship real and yet you're going away," he said. I was shocked by what he said and laugh afterward. He can be cute when he needed to be.

"It's not funny Icy, I'm serious" he added. I let out a soft chuckle on to what he said and side my body so that I can see him.

"It's just for 3 days, Z. I'm not like going away for a year" I commented. If he doesn't want to miss me, why would he just come and join right?

"It's still been a year to me. I have no one to tease with or prank with" he said with his lips pouting. With his childish way

"So that's what your sulking about? You have no one to tease?" I complained. I stand up to get out but he quickly reached my hand. He pulled me close to him as I sit on his lap.

"You're such a baby sometimes Icy" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arm but he mustered to kiss my cheeks. If he just wanted someone to tease with, why won't he just pick one of the girls who is head over heels to him and maybe get teased with each other on a bed? I'm pretty sure they'll love it. Once again, I rolled my eyes at what I just said in my mind. I'm torturing my mind ghad!

"Icy, baby?" He called. I've been awoken from my world.

"What?" I replied.

"I'm going to miss you," he said and push me close to him. He hugged me like it was the last day, we'll ever meet.

"I'm going to miss you too Z. It's just for 3 days for pete's sake. If you really don't want to miss me, why won't you just come and join us?" I suggested and hugged him back.

"You know that how matter I wanted to but my parents have plans too. It's quite new for me since we've never got to do family stuff and the like" he replied while still having his arm wrapped around my waist and his head on my chest.

"Hey, it's not that bad. At least you'll have a family bonding with your parents" I encourage. I know how new things these are for him since they barely don't see each other often even though it's just the three of them in that mansion of them but I hope he could get used to it. I wandered my hand on his hair, shuffling it and I think I'd ruin his hair because it looked messed up right now.

"Yeah but I hope having time with them would be that all, not because of the business and all. I won't come with them" he insisted. I just keep messing with his hair. I didn't know that it was slightly curly and his hair is so smooth. I could play this all day.

"Just give it a try Z. Maybe they just wanted to be with you, that's all" I convince him. I know Mr. Sandoval could be an uptight person but I know he somehow has a softhearted inside him.

"Yeah. Thank you Icy" he replied and hugged me tighter and buried his face in my chest.

"Anytime Z" I hugged him back. It took a lot longer than usual but I don't mind. Just when I feel his hug was slowly loosening, I kissed him on his forehead.

"You'll be fine Z. So why are you here again?" I asked then we both laughed.

I'm really happy that I have this boy beside me after all this time
