My words are trapped in my throat when he tell me that he had seen his father burning , he just said it casually . His eyes and face doesn't show any kind of remorse , But a guilt. A disgust .
" I never loved him , He was not worthy of it .He didn't do anything a father is supposed to do , sometimes I think why had I given a father like him , My school mates had always bring their parents for the meetings while I was there with my Dad's manager . He died when I was 12 , I did not miss him as he did not do any fatherly thing when he was alive . I did not feel his absence . I just have guilt because --" , He took a deep breathe and didn't speak further . Now I can see a look of guilt, sadness , fear in his eyes . As if he didn't want to remember about it .
He look at me and his eyes went wide , " Why are you crying " . I didn't realize when I started crying now that he said it , I can feel tears rolling down my cheeks . He wipes my tears and place his both hands on my shoulders , " You want to know why I have guilt ", I want to but-
" No , I don't want to , I can't take this anymore " , I get up and took deep breathes to allow my mind to clear out . I can't do this , Why even I ask him , why-
He hold my hand and turns me around , wiping tears off my face , he sweeps me in for a deep hug , I couldn't control my tears . I cried hard , " How can you be so strong , Even though your father never loved you , you see him dying in front of you . How can anyone cope up with it , " I didn't hug him back but I didn't even shove him away . Daniel stood there hugging me tightly and I stood there crying . He pats my head like I am a little child , well I was crying like one right now but He didn't let go of me --
I finally compose myself , his arms are still wrapped around me . I wiggle beneath his strong arms . " Hey , Let go off me now " . He finally unleash me , He was beaming . Like he forget everything he said just now about his past . " Will you please stop smiling " , my body was turning hot because of his touch . My Heart can't stop beating loudly . I was so lost in him...
" I can't help myself , You are looking like a child who cry over emotional stories . Look at your face , it's all red . Are you blushing ? " . He is testing my patience , " Are you touched by my story " , He tilts my chin and whispers something in my ear " By the way You heart is beating fast , Is that for me ". His smile turns into smirk , he is so close that just one head movement and our lips will crash into each other .
The butterflies in my stomach go wild ..
He grabs my cheeks, lowers his head and tilts it a bit , My body froze for a second " You want it , you are not going to stop me " , He said against the tip of my nose and suddenly It feels like my mind has gain it's capability of thinking again .
"Shut Up ! Are you crazy " , I finally pulls away . My body finally regains consciousness , It like I just woke up from a dream . what I was thinking , why didn't I pull away at instant when he touch me .
" Yes , Crazy in love with you " .
" Shut up , I will leave now " , I took my bag from nightstand and grab the knob of door .
" Stop , Let me drive you home " . Daniel calls from behind .
" NO , I can go on my own " .
" It's 11: 30 now , I will not allow you to go alone " .
" And who asks for your permission . I had said it before I will say again if you haven't get it yet I . Am . Not . Yours . Daniel Fernandez " . I am holding myself back from fainting . My legs and whole body is going weak because of him .
" No matter what you say but I will drop you off ".
" I will drop her off if you are okay with it " , Chris appeared like ghost, He opened the door and wave at us . Was he outside all the time , Did he listen our conversation , How Embarrassing ..
" Okay , you do it . I can trust you with it " . Daniel wink at Chris .
" Is no one going to ask me about my permissions " , I yelled at them .
" NOPE " . They both said . They are best friends for a reason . At this point I know they will not listen to me , I have no choice left but to listen them .
" You Both stop with the nonsense , Chris you drive me to home . Please " . I think being with Chris is more comfortable than being with Daniel.
I sat in the car with Chris , My breathing is still uneven . I place my palm over my pounding heart and try to relax.
" So , You got your answers . " Chris started driving ,He sounded like he cared for me . I never notice but He is kind- hearted , He is always there for Daniel and for me also . We only met twice but I think He is a great guy.
" You are a good guy Chris , and a good friend also", He looks at me shockingly like he did not expected it .
" That's come out of now where , Do you need my help to handle Daniel . Is everything okay . " He let out a laugh.
" That thought just came in my mind . I wanted to let you know that it's great to have someone like you around , " . My breathe came to normal pace as I talk to him . He lightens up my mood ,
" Why you think that ".
" You remind me of my friend , my roommate Anna Gomez , you both have similar personalities. " He is really the male version of Anna.
" Like.." , He cocks an eyebrow.
" You both have Sunshine personality ". we both laugh .
"So , what do you think of Daniel , if I have sunshine personality .What does he have " . It was not a serious question , cause we were laughing the whole time.
" Well , he has different personality . He is like a candy . Hard from outside , Soft from Inside. " I suddenly realize we often fight only whenever we met but he never treated me badly , He was always very gentle to me , I was always rude .
" So , you have changed your mind , You will give him a chance ", We stop laughing and the atmosphere become serious . Chris was eager to know my answer .
" Maybe " , I smile and look through the window .
He is Not so bad , I can give him a chance ..
