Novel & Cerita Does Your Crush Likes You

***ESTHER*** “You love that guy, don’t you?” Chris asks me as he takes the sip of his coffee. Love? Caden? Not even in my dreams. I am not mad to fall for the guy like him. I am not interested in guys in the first place and in the seconds place Caden isn’t the type of guy that I would like to have. “NO! That’s not it,” I open my both palms and shake it. “So, is he your crush?” he asks.

How does that sound? ''Let me start?'' He raises an eyebrow, somehow excited to start playing this little game I managed to create in a short amount of time. I nod my head, waiting for him to start. Both of his eyes start to pierce into mine as he clears his own throat, ''Do you like someone, now? Anyone . . . you maybe have a little . . . crush?'' He asks, smiling. ''Well . . . maybe. I'm not sure if I like him but I'm starting to feel a little, something, something when he's around.'' I reply, with full honesty but slightly hinting it; he didn't ask me who and he's never going to get it.

"Do you like him?" Her question catches me off guard, and for a moment, I don’t know how to answer. I do like Damien as a crush but I don’t want to speak it out into the universe or tell anyone as I am scared that my crush for him will really manifest when clearly he’s not interested in me. "I don’t know," I admit quietly. "I don’t know if I like this version of him. The version who doesn’t look at me like I am his type of woman The version who shuts me out."

“I had a crush on him back then. And I think he liked me too. But he just transferred one day and disappeared without saying goodbye.” “So you’re happy to see him?” “Uh-huh.” I nodded. Silence settled for a beat. “So… you still have a crush on him?” I let out a small laugh. “I’m not into crushes anymore. It’s either real… or nothing.” His gaze sharpened. “Do you like him?” “No.” “Do you like someone else?” That question sat between us. I didn’t answer. He just kept looking at me, like he was waiting for me to slip.

I pinch my fingers to show a tiny gap. “That small? How can I make it bigger?” “A kiss might nudge my heart a bit.” He chuckles and captures my lips. I melt into his arms, feeling lucky to have someone so caring. My body ignites at his touch—if this is how relationships should feel, I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life. He pulls away, and I sigh, eyes still closed, savoring it. “So, has your crush grown?” I open my eyes and smile. “Hmm, it’s grown into liking you—just a little.”

"Yeah, i kinda want him to stay even though he had always being bothering me. Please tell me, what's wrong with me?" "Just a simple explanation. You are in love with him," "No, no, no...at all...I have no crush for Ryan. He is so so above my level. Please, be serious for this once." "But I am being serious. You are in love with Ryan. It's just that you can't see it. You kept claiming that you don't love him, but you are crushing on him," "You must be crazy," "But I am not. Girl, that's how lots of girls says whenever they are crushing on a guy. You are in love with him."

“This isn’t just some dumb crush. You really like him.” My stomach twisted. “I know.” “And he feels the same way?” I hesitated. “I think so.” “Oh, babe.” Cami sighed dramatically. “Of course, he does. Have you seen the way that man looks at you? It’s embarrassing, honestly.” I groaned. “Cami—”

"You like me even though you don't know who I am?" "You wouldn't believe it, but the first time I see you, I know you're the one I've been looking for." She chuckled, "You're pretty hopeless romantic" "I guess I am" "Even crushes grow or develop if you have made short observations on that person; visually, some may be drawn, but it was just for a split second, not long enough to be a crush." "I like you inside out" "What if I'm a crazy person, I doubt you will fall to me that easily"

Oh, this is gonna be fun, Alena thought. “You guys already like someone?” She excitedly asked. Oh, wait. They’re teenagers now. Of course, they would have liked someone by now. “Well, there’s a girl in my class who kept saying she likes me. I don’t like her, though. She’s too chatty. There’s a girl in the other class and I like her. But I only like her a little. Does that count as a crush?” “Well, I…” She’s suddenly not sure what to say. She looked at Christan again. What do you say to that? She urged him with her eyes. Alena noticed the little shrug he made. Really? You’re letting me comment on this?

“But I don’t think he likes me.” “If he doesn’t like you, don’t waste your time,” Noah said flatly. “If a guy likes you, he should earn you.” I smiled, though it felt tight. “Yeah, that’s true. It’s just a crush. Never mind.” We both went quiet for a few seconds. I could hear the clack of his keyboard. I should’ve stopped there. But something made me speak again. “Do you know Ian?” Noah stopped typing. He looked up, slowly, his eyes narrowing as if he was trying to make sure he heard me right.
