The Best Man

Chapter 14

“Good morning sunshine!” I stretched and did my morning rituals.

I hurried down stairs because I am planning to make some muffins.

“You’re early. Did you have a good night sleep?”

“Yes Manang,” I squeezed her cheek and made my way to the kitchen.

“Can I use the kitchen this morning?” I asked her while I’m getting myself the ingredients.

“Yes, it’s all yours. Just don’t burn the kitchen down okay?” With that she left.

I put on my earphones and started my baking. Dry ingredients here, wet ingredients there, mix and mix and done. I poured the batter on the molding tray and baked them in the oven. I was dancing with Auburn’s music; I’m all about him when I heard the oven. It’s time. I took the muffins out and let them cool for awhile. I tasted them, hmm, yummy, I thought.

I am arranging the muffins in a box when I heard the doorbell ring.

Ding dong.

 

Ding dong.

 

I rushed to the door to open it, and to my surprise, an angelic hot man is standing in front of me.

“Hi,” he said.

“Hi,” is all I can say. I’m still stunned by his angelic features.

“Can I come in?” He asked.

“Oh, sure. I’m sorry, my mind is floating,” I smiled at him. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have a work today?”

He is looking at my dirty apron and I instantly removed it.

“Yes, I do have a work but, my car went driving this way, to your house.” He can’t look at me in the eyes.

“I think you should let an expert check your car, it has his own mind.” I said sarcastically.

His face turned red, “Yeah, maybe the car misses you, that’s why it went this way.”

It’s my turn that my face turned red.

“Gotcha! You’re blushing.” He’s smirking.

“Hmp, you came all the way here to throw up some joke and to tease me Justin?” I narrowed my eye on him.

He stepped closer to me. “I-, I think, I just missed you.”

Without second thoughts I found myself hugging him and telling that I missed him too. Duh, I never expected myself to do just like that. I pulled away and made my way to the kitchen.

“You want some coffee?” I asked him.

“No, I’m going.” He’s smiling at me.

“Ahm, maybe you could just bring these muffins. I made them myself.” I handed him the box of muffins I baked awhile ago.

He accepted. “Thank you, I better get going. I’ll be running late. I’ve never been late in my entire existence.”

I followed him and went outside. As we reached his car, he waved good bye and drove off.

I just stared at his speeding car going away from where I stand.

Last night he kissed me and today he went here, so early in the morning just to say the he missed me?

 Is there something going on between us? Because if someone is going to ask me, for me, I’m starting to like him. Or maybe it’s something deeper. I am really looking forward to whatever will happen to us in the future.
