"You're done." Said Matthew when I went outside the shower room with Janice. She's holding my hand to support as I walked.
"Yeah." I simply said.
"Sit here, Miel." Said Janice then she helped me sit on the chair in front of me.
"Thank you." I said to Janice and she just answered me with a smile then she caressed my hair.
"I'll go to Angelo now. He's practicing basketball. You know. Time to flirt." She whispered then we both laugh.
"You're really crazy." I said.
"Yeah. Crazy in love with Angelo." She whispered then she started to walk while wavung her hand.
I waved my hand too and watch her walk away till she vanished in my sight.
"Ahem." Matthew said that made me look at him.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah. Thank you for helping me." I said then I looked down. However, I felt him moving closer to me.
"It's okay." He said then he lift my face to meet my gaze.
"I'm so sorry." He said while looking directly in my eyes.
"Why sorry?" I asked then I held his face. "It's not your fault." I said.
"Y-your'e too beautiful." He whispered out of the blue.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. I was about to remove my hand from his face when he suddenly held it then he closed his eyes, trying to feel my warmth which made me flinch. My heart starts to pound loudly again like it used to whenever I am close to Matthew.
"You've been running inside my mind since the day you stayed with me in the rooftop." He whispered then he slowly opened his eyes and stared at me again, looking directly in my eyes.
From the very beginning, I already admitted to myself that I like this man. However, this feeling that he's always giving me is a lot more different from the word "like".
"In one month that I hung out with you. I saw beauty in you. I've witnessed how beautiful you are, inside and out." He added then he looked down to my lips.
I didn't say any word. I just stared at him.
Now I'm starting to think that I don't like him anymore. It's a different feeling now. Is this what they called love?
"I can't help it." He said then he kissed me all of a sudden and all I can do is to close my eyes and feel his soft lips. I didn't resist it.
Seconds passed and he slowly moved his lips and I don't know what to do. I just stayed like this, not moving as if I became a statue. But he did not let me stayed like that the whole time because he bit my lips that made me opened my mouth and that's when his tounge entered my mouth, like it's looking for something.
Now I'm starting to feel something, an overwhelming feeling, a feeling that I like. Then I just realized that I'm already following his moves. I'm kissing back.
He placed his hand in my cheek and deepened the kiss. He pushed himself closer-----
"Matthew!" I shouted when the chair where I am sitting on almost fell on the floor because of his weight. He immediately held the chair and protected me, especially my leg.
The kiss ended and we both felt the awkward atmosphere between us.
"Ah. M-miel." He called.
"Matthew." I answered as I looked at him.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He suddenly asked which made me surprise. I was so startled that I can't even say a word.
"I know that it's unbelievable. I know that it's too fast but I want you to know that if you can't anwer me now, I can wait. That's how much I like you----"I like you too, Matthew." I interrupted him that made his eyes wide, surprised of what I've said.
"Do you mean--" he said while still surprised.
"Yup. It's a yes." I said then I looked away.
"H-hey." He said then he held my chin to make me face him. "Thank you." He said.
"OH MY GOD!" We heard someone shouted from the door.
"J-janice." I called her. He's standing at the door with Angelo and Carl.
"Is this true?!" Janice said then she went towards me.
"You're done." Said Matthew when I went outside the shower room with Janice. She's holding my hand to support as I walked.
"Yeah." I simply said.
"Sit here, Miel." Said Janice then she helped me sit on the chair in front of me.
"Thank you." I said to Janice and she just answered me with a smile then she caressed my hair.

"Do you mean--" he said while still surprised.
"Yup. It's a yes." I said then I looked away because I can feel that my cheeks is burning red.
"Hey.." He said then he held my chin to make me face him. "Thank you." He said then he smiled.
"OH MY GOD!" We heard someone shouted from the door.
"J-janice." I called her. She's standing at the door with Angelo and Carl.
"Is this true?!" Janice said then she went towards me.
Matthew stood up and move away to let Janice come to me.
"I'm upset." Janice whispered when she sat in the floor in front of me.
"Why? I'm sorry--"Crazy! Why are you apologizing? I'm not mad at you." She interrupted.
"I'm upset because you already get Matthew now. Knowing that between us, I'm the who flirted the person I like first and look at you. Without effort, you get Matthew." She explained then she pouted.
"You'll have your time soon." I said then I caressed her cheeks.
"I know! And I will make it more beautiful than what you did. I'll kiss him immediately when he asked me to be his girlfriend." She said that made my eyes wide then I looked away while remembering what happened a while ago.
It's a french kiss isn't it? Arghhh Miel what have you've done?
"What's with you? Why do I smell something fishy?" Janice said, teasing me. "Why do I feel like you had your first kiss a while ago?" She whispered. "Hmmm. Does it taste sweet? It's good that undressing did not happen." She added.
"Janice!" I hissed that made her laugh.
"Now I am sure of what I'm thinking." She said then she laughed more.
"Congrats dude. " I heard Angelo said to Matthew then he tapped his shoulder.
"Thanks, bro." Matthew said.
"It's good that you're not rejected this time." Angelo said while laughing that made Matthew's face crumble.
"What did you say?" He said then he jokingly choke Angelo using his arms.
"Stay calm, bro." Angelo said while laughing.
"Enough." Carl said for the first time then he looked at Matthew. "Clean your mess, Matthew." He added then he walked out, leaving his two friends dumbfounded.
Huh? Mess? I asked in my mind then I saw the wet floor beside me. There's a chair there which has a plastic of ice and an icepack. The ice in the plastic bag melted that cause the chair to be wet including the floor.
Aaa now I get it.
"Huh? What mess?" Janice asked so I pointed the ice that is in the chair beside me.
"Ah, that." She said. "Have you treated your bruise already?" She asked.
"Not yet." I answered.
"You should treated it first before you flirt. Look, it became more visible now." She said then she get the ice pack and placed it lightly in my leg.
"Janice!" I said that made her chuckle.
"Just kidding." she said then she looked at my leg again to treat it. "Does it hurt?" She asked, I shook my head as an answer.
"Why are you here with Angelo? Is their practice done?" I asked.
"No. They're just having a break because their captain, which is Matthew is not with them." She explained.
"Really?" I asked and she nodded as a response.
"Matthew." I called.
"Miel." Matthew said then she went towards me.
"Go to the gym now. The training stopped because you're not there." I said.
"But you---"I'm okay, Matthew. Go now. Janice is here. She'll help me, right Janice?" I said then I looked at Janice.
"Aa yeah. I'll be with her till her driver came so she can go home already and rest." She declared. "Don't worry, Angelo I'll come back and will watch you practice." She said to angelo even though he's not saying anything.
"Okay. It's up to you." He said then he smiled at her.
Janice blushed and she unconsciously put a force in her hand which is holding the icepack against my leg.
Damn it. It hurts. But I did not let Matthew see it. He might worry and will not practice basketball anymore just to take care of me. So I just pinched Janice hand harshly that made her look at me irritatedly.
"Careful." I mouthed that made her realize what she's doing. She understood what I wanted to do so she did not say anything.
"I'm sorry." She mouthed. I just smiled to tell her that it's okay.
"Go now." I said to Matthew.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Of course." I answered. "Go now." I added.
"Okay. Take care." He said then he caressed my hair. "I'll call you later." He said then he started to walk towards the door. I just answered him with a smile and watch him walked away until he vanished in my sight.
"I'm happy for you." Janice suddenly said that made me look at her.
"Thank you." I said then I smiled at her.
"But." She said like she wants to say something.
"But?" I asked.
"But. I feel like it's so fast." She said with a serious look.
"Me too. But I trust him. I hope you'll support me." I said then I looked at her directly in her eyes.
"I will. I Just hope that he won't hurt you." She said. "It's done now. Call your driver now and let's wait for him in the waiting area outside the school." She said then she helped me get up.
"Thank you, Janice." I said out of the blue.
"For what?" She asked.
"For everything. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you." I said then I hugged her.
"Me too." She said then she hugged me back.
She's a treasure.
