"I have a favor to ask",he responded. Looking more hesitant than before. Ah, so this is why he's acting all concerned. He's got an ulterior motive. I sighed softly, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Ok? Let's hear it." I answered, starting to feel annoye...
"Is it just me or the city is too noisy even at night?", I uttered to get his attention. Wait what?! The first sentence I said was about the noise?! Really?!
"Nice to meet you, hot guy", I said again upon introducing myself. I'm screwed! When did I have a loose tongue? I called him "hot guy"!
What a first impression! Great job, Singto! I just want to shrink in embarrassment but I have to keep my act and pretend it was nothing. I went back to bed and tried so hard to get back to sleep.
I was almost falling asleep when this stupid guy crawled up my bed. He took over half of my bed and laid down facing me. So close to my face. His breath smells of beer but there goes his innocent look again.
His cheeks blushing probably because of the liquor. His reddish lips are so seductive. Oh shxt! How can I sleep in this situation? This might be a wrong idea after all. It's just the first night together but I'm almost losing my head trying to control myself.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I got up and watched him peacefully sleeping. I noticed he's perspiring so I took it upon myself to wipe his face with a wet and clean towel.
I can see he's mouthing off something so I leaned down and bring my ears closer to his lips so I can hear what he's saying.
"L.. Why? What have I done wrong?", he murmured, tears falling down his cheeks. I felt there was a lump in my throat, I feel sorry for this man.
I don't understand why I feel I need to protect him. But how can I when I can't even figure out myself why I am doing all these? Am I really interested in him? In what way? I've never liked a guy before. Maybe I'm just curioused? Ah, whatever! I'll just do what I feel I want to. Like I always do.
I was about to get up, when he grabbed my face and pulled me closer, our lips just inches apart from each other, he opened his eyes and gazes into my mine, "I love you", he whispered and closed the gap between our lips.
I was stunned, my eyes widened but then I liked it. It was surreal. I closed my eyes then kissed him back.
He pulled back a bit and uttered,"Eloisa".
I snapped back to reality. Right..
Why would he kiss me? I'm just a stranger. I chuckled bitterly then pulled back. He then fell back to sleep.
After that scene, I did all I can to avoid him. I purposely annoy him so he wouldn't get close to me. It's easy to let all these go, I just go back home then it's over. But then again, I can't find the courage to let him go for good. So I'm in this situation where I want him but I can't. He likes women. And I'm.. I'm not sure what I am yet. I've never been with a guy before so I'm stuck in this dilemma.
As days passed by, being together with him, I am realizing even more that I am not just attracted to him. I like him. It seemed that his being aloof is just a cover up, he is really a warm and considerate person. He prepares meals for both of us, he cleans up the room, I feel guilty about it though. I purposely let him do everything and he didn't even complain. I did everything to annoy him but he put up with it. How can I not fall for him?
That sadness in his eyes.. How can make it go away? I often see him crying in the middle of the night. It pains me. He must really love that Eloisa. How can I help him?
I hope I can do something for him. To bring back that smile which can brighten up the world.
I might sound exaggerated but... I guess... That is what he is for me now.
My world.
