| Officially On | I don’t want to doubt his confession to me. But I can’t stop myself not to worry about when this courtship will last. If I will accept him now, should it be worth it? Isn’t that too fast? But isn’t that it’s the relationship that matters the most than the courtship? If I will not give it a try, how will I know that he is sincere pursuing me? And even if we’re already in a relationship, he can still court me. I remember what my mother said when I was in junior high school. ‘If a man loves you, he will do everything to make your relationship works. And if you were in the stage that it seems like one of you is falling out of love, try to talk about it and as much as possible, fix it. And if one of you can’t hold it anymore, then maybe he’s not meant for you.’ And I think I can’t find it out when I will not give a chance to myself to experience how to be love and how to love someone. Ms. Dory is finally back, and I talk to her i

| She Initiated |Friday night is the day of his fight. Nena, Reina, and I decided to watch the fight together. Waiting for Nena to come out of her dorm, I peeked on my phone. But to my dismay, I didn’t receive any text from him. Though, we already talked about this yesterday. And I know he’s busy preparing, so, I will understand.“Gosh, how long with your friend took showering, Becca? It’s almost eight-thirty,” Reina grumbled as she keeps on texting on her phone.“Will you and Bill hang out this break?” I asked as I kicked the small stone in front of my left foot.“Yeah. We have already talked about it. We will visit his grandma and of course, went on a date,” she said, seems happy about it.“I will ask Linus if he wants to visit our hometown,” I said and shocked registered on her face.“Wait? What? You will ask Linus

| Found Out |I didn’t get a good sleep because of excitement. Well, he’s coming! I gently tapped Reina’s face so she will wake up, good thing, she did.“Hmm… what time is it?” she asked me.I walked towards my closet to get some clothes. Just a few. Besides, I got lots of them at home.“Seven.”“What time we will go home?”“After lunch,” I replied.“Did you call your dad to pick us up?” she asked as she stretches her arms and yawned.“Nope. We will surprise them,” I answered and sat down at the wooden chair as I sipped on my coffee. “Come, let’s eat,” I said.“Whoa! I guess you woke up early, huh. Excited to go home?” She stood up and walk in my direction. She yawned again as she gets her cup of coffee.“Sort of,” I replied. I will not tell her yet that Linus

| Trust Him |Telling the truth to your parents is very important, and I know I don’t have to deny our relationship.My mother smiled. “I thought, you will finish your study first, hmm… why a sudden change, sweetie?”I put the plates on the table before answering. “I thought so, mom. But things happen unexpectedly. At first, I don’t want to, but this bizarre feeling seems to grow. And I don’t have control—Ah, I can control it, but mom, I can’t resist it,” I said. I sat down on the chair and heaved a deep sigh.“That’s what I’m talking about since then, and I’m not against it, sweetie. I’m happy that you’re experiencing it, yet I want you to set limits, okay?”I smiled and helped her to fix the table. “Yes, mom, and thank you.”“Anyway, sweetie, Linus seems nice and a responsible man. He’s mature enou

| The Prince |“LINUS, did you enjoy living in a province?” asked Reina as she went inside Linus' car. We are heading back to school. Classes resumed tomorrow.Linus started the engine and said, “Of course, I did enjoy it.” then he looked and smiled at me.“Yay! I hope you have already overcome the second stage of your relationship.”I looked at Reina and glare at her. “What?” she said to me as she shrugged her shoulders.“Can you just shut up if you’re just going to ask inappropriate things?”Linus chuckled which makes me turned in his direction. I raised my left brow and crossed my arms.He hemmed. “Seatbelt please…” he said.“You know what Becca, don’t act innocent okay? I know you already kissed.”Oh my God, if I’m drinking or eating someth
