TUSUN KE EMPATBELAS

"Wh-what-do you-mean?" Kayleigh tegagap. Elec Marshall, benung bediri betunga mua nggau ya nya meh urang ke udu nulung ya suba. Kala rapat nggau ya.

"You had grown up."

'Excuse me? Soalan jenis nama nya? Of course lah aku grown up. Nda patut mansang mit. Oh my god, awkward mai!'

'There you go, Kayleigh. He's tall, dark, and handsome. Just like your dream guy! Admit it! And as the bonus, he was your one time best friend. Damn it, Kayleigh!' Pom-Pom girl

"Damn it."

"Sorry?"

"Hah?" Damn. Beperang nggau pom-pom girl, nda berasai jaku nya tepansut ba mulut. Asai ka nampar diri empu pan bisi.

Elec tuchum meda Kayleigh sedanah. Tang sekejap aja. He gather himself quickly before Kayleigh eyes meet his. He cross his arm on his chest and leaning against the door.

Ya enda nyangka Kayleigh bisi ba rumah ya. Maia nya. Dalam bilik ya. Benung migai surat... the thing that he had been kept as a secret since forever. Dalam ati ya full of curiosity. Ka nemu nama runding Kayleigh maia tepeda ke surat nya. Ingat ke enda ya ke seduai ya suba.

"Don't try to change the topic. You are Elec Marshall. Why?"

He throw a pointed look at Kayleigh. He know Kayleigh will find out eventually. It's just a matter of time.

"I am."

"You know what I mean. Or... you are scared?" Kayleigh merani ke diri betentang mata nggau Elec. For a while, it's like few years back. Where they were in high school. How come she never recognize that dark brown shining eyes?

No. No. No.

It's not her fault to not recognize him. He is far too different from before.

He is taller.

He is tougher.

Her eyes shift to his shoulder then his chest. Down to his... abs that Kayleigh damn sure it's well sculptured.

He is... hot.

Her eyes shift back to search for Elec's eyes. And, there he is. Staring sharply at her as if he can read what's in her mind right now.

Kayleigh blushed.

"Done with your scanning?" His side lips curl up. Ya empu pan nervous bila kediri nggau Kayleigh bakanya. Dalam bilik agi nya. Anything can happen.

"Pardon?" Kayleigh enda berani betentang mata nggau Elec. Baru sedar diri empu bendar mai nyilik tubuh Elec tadi. Kuyu nyu berasai angat.

She take a step back.

"Uh-i-... aku rasa aku patut pulai dulu. Carl mesti benung ngiga-..." Kayleigh turns to leave.

"Mind to tell me the reason you come to my house? My room?" Kayleigh alu ngetu. Tang agi melakang ke Elec. Jantung ke benung rancak dedegup, betambah laju maia ngasai ke Elec mansang semak belakang ya.

"Miss Kayleigh Randall." His tone sounds firm, as he still waiting for Kayleigh to answer him.

'My god... keni aku ka nyaut enti untak aku benung blank? Please don't stay too close!'

Kayleigh beperang nggau ati diri empu. Lama udah nadai ngasai perasaan bakanya. Ukai baka ke baru ngelala Elec ke merangkap lecturer nggau boss ya empu. And now, he is also her once one time best friend.
