Love Shower Part 2

taken from google search

My phone ringed.

I cannot answer the call since my hand is holding the umbrella while the other is pinning my hair. It stopped but then it started ringing again. I was getting irritated as it’s already the fifth time so I stopped by the shed to finally answer the call.

“Hello?” I said.

“Where are you?” the person replied. 

I don’t know if this is a good opportunity to be with someone and help me cope up with my feelings. On the other hand, I just want to be with myself and to fill in the void alone just to say I made it without anybody’s help.

“I’m busy right now. Sorry.” I said then turned down the call. 

Somehow, I feel guilty. Usually, people aren’t there when you need them. But this one, I turned the offer down when I know I needed it the most.

I must be stupid and proud…and maybe that’s what made him go away.

With no direction, I continued walking down the streets until I passed by a pastry shop. I am not a fan of rolls and breads and sweet pies that girls usually do but just for today, I wanted to explore a side of the world I haven’t yet discovered. I wanted to be new. I wanted to be able to say “I’ve changed” if ever there’ll be a chance that I can shove it to his face. I wanted to be higher than him…I wanted him to regret leaving me. And now that I’m thinking about it, I realized I still have a long way to go in forgetting him.

But damn, I want these sweet cakes to taste like my revenge.

I ordered a strawberry cake roll and an Earl Grey. I also found a decent spot near the bookshelf. The smell of pastries and sweets wafted over the room and opening a book from their shelves is a picturesque of an ideal romantic date. The jazz music is played all over the small place and the sound of rain adds another music to the ears.

It was a beautiful moment...and I am trying so hard to appreciate it.

I was reading a book when I heard someone pulled the chair in front of me.

“Hello” he said. His soft voice made me curious. 

And when I looked to which the voice belonged to, I saw that his face is way softer and angelic for his voice.

I stared at him as if I’m giving him a negative message. Mentally, I am trying to figure out what to do. But he’s staring right back at me…and now, we’re in a stare fest; two strangers plunging beneath the soul in a pair of confused eyes.

I really don’t know what to do.

But automatically, I know my body tensed…but I felt some warmth.

It’s gonna be an interesting day.

And with that thought, I didn’t remove my eyes off him and smiled.

“Hi” I replied.
