The next morning, I stirred up on my bed when I felt someone’s breath on my shoulder. I blink my eyes for a little while before it open widely, realizing who the person is. I am about to scream but then I chose not to even though I am already freaking out inside—but the thought of waking him up because of my loudness would be so ridiculously rude. With a hitch breathing, I slowly look at him and saw how close his face is to my chin. Both of his arms are crossed over his chest, legs curling up and it was late when I notice that he don’t have a blanket on to cover his body. I check the temperature and saw the numbers, thinking how cold it is under that temperature number. I got almost part of the blanket—leaving him no space to cover on so now, he is cold while closing his eyes—still obviously asleep. I move a little but I also made sure not to disturb Damian. I slowly put on the blanket to his body and for him to get covered and as soon as the blanket is being removed from my body, th

“Anyway, so you are staying inside today?” I nod my head. “I guess so. Suggest me a movie.” “Oh, a movie on a cold weather sounds so nice. Are you going to watch alone?” That question struck me, making me bit my lower lip and turns silent. Later on, I heard my best friend giggling from the other line, already guessing what is going on. “Watching a movie on a cold weather with someone sounds so sexy! Okay, I am recommending 365 DNI! Thank me later.” The title doesn’t ring a bell to me so I suggest agreed and made a mental note to her suggestion. After a few more minutes, we both hang up and I went inside the bathroom finally. *** After taking my time inside the bathroom, I went out with my robe still on and while drying my hair using the other towel. I look at my phone screen to check if there is a notification but like what I expected, those are still coming from my I*******m account so I ignored those and slump down on top of the bed while rubbing the towel through my hair. I

I am sitting stiffly beside Damian on top of the bed—not wanting to throw a glance at the TV screen. It suddenly feels so illegal to watch such things, now that I am with Damian and I never feel so awkward with a guy my life—not until such time. I look at Damian and saw both of his palms laid comfortably on the sheets while leaning backward—as if he is enjoying what is going to happen later part. I know him. He loves to put me in such situations that will make me feel so awkward and now, his smiles are teasing me already! “This is not goo—“ My words are being cut off when he pulled me by my hand once again so I shriek, going back down on the bed. Damian laugh at me so I throw him a sharp glance but he ignored me and continue watching the film that is being played on the screen. “Calm down, Laurier. The movie just got started why are you panicking? You are so quick to judge a movie by its cover.” I tsked. I can never go wrong with such movies. Leigh and I have been so fan of romanc

I nod my head. “Sure!” Since I am wearing my cream hoodie, I slid my left hand inside the pocket to minimize the cold and the other one is holding the umbrella. We both walk side by side until we reach the aisle where Maple tress are standing one each side. We are both standing in between these trees and I could not muster not to take photos of the scenery. I push Damian a little, making him look at me. I chuckled. “Move a little away and face your back at me. I am going to take a photo of you.” He still have the guts to roll his eyes and groan but still did what I told him to. “You’re being obvious now, Dionne Fay.” “Obvious, what?” I asked while setting my camera setting to capture a great shot. “Obvious that you like me too.” He said before looking at me sideways before pulling on a smirk. I accidentally click the capture button after what he said and trust me when I say that I panic right after saying such thing. He chuckle before turning around again. “Kidding. Come on, tak

Elric stop on his trance when he is already few meters away from me. I do not really have any plans on speaking with him but as soon as he called me by my name, I stop as well. He is already behind me since I passed by him already so I turn to look at him. He shows his little smile. “I apologize about what happened the other day.” My lips parted then I compose myself automatically before forcing a timid smile. “It’s fine. Maybe the least we could do for us, is to ignore each other and focus our current situation.” I bit my lower lip before blowing a deep sigh. “Maybe we are really fated to meet and break each other so that we’ll find and realize who really matters for us.” I trailed while staring at him on the eyes, making sure that my smile is not fake to show him I am really fine without him now. “A lesson that we have to remember. Elric, you know that I really loved you.” I added and saw him parted his lips before closing it back with a nodding head. “But I guess, it’s all in the
