"So is it going to be only us that will be here?" I turned to Dili and asked. He were both inside the library sitting on our usual spot.
After I agreed to his suggestion and came into the library to rest a for a while, I was confused when Dili sat down also, I thought he was just going to leave me there. So when I asked him all he said was "Did you really expect me to leave you here all by yourself?" He said this all with a smirk of course.
"Who else were you expecting?" he asked.
"I was just thinking Chimdi and the others will come here also, just like yesterday" I told him.
"No they aren't coming today" He paused, and with a teasing tone he continued "Which means you have me all to yourself" After he finished talking he began to lean a lot closer to me. I automatically stopped breathing as he came closer and closer to me, I kid you not I really did cease my breathing.
It felt like time stopped moving as quickly. Still holding my breath I immediately clenched my eyes tightly shut. I could feel his soft breath on my cheeks but I still did dare to open my eyes.
"Open your eyes Rica, I'm not going to bite you I promise" I heard him say with a chuckle. This was not in anyway a laughing matter, the way my heart was beating so loudly that Its possible that he even could hear it 'wasn't' in anyway a laughing matter.
I didn't still open my eyes so he tried again "Please open your eyes" The softness in his tone was what made me do just as he had asked.
When I opened your eyes I didn't I was surprised to see Dili perfectly back in his previous sitting position.
"Something was on your hair, I was just removing it" He rose his hand showing me a tiny object that looked somewhat like a piece of paper.
God I've never felt so embarrassed in my life. And see my mind wondering to other places.
I saw a familiar expression gracing his face. With a smirk he told me "Oh Rica, Rica. Where was your mind going to? And here I thought you were too innocent to think such" he more he teasingly spoke the more I blushed. He could have just told me there was something on my hair na, instead of coming so close to me. If you really think about it, he was the one that made me think something else.
"Go away jare" was my weak response.
At my words he released a full belly laugh. I'm sure the librarian was already tired of us at it is, but Dili just didn't seem to care.
He completely ignored my words and continued speaking "But again it's not your fault that you find me attractive" I thought he had forgotten about what I said to his mother while we were at the hospital yesterday. To think he would use my words against me, him wiggling his brows wasn't helping matters either.
"It was on impulse I said that" I tried to save myself.
"Maybe it was on impulse, but you still meant every word, I'm sure of that" He confidently said still spotting him with a smirk.
"No I didn't" Lying wasn't really my strong suit I know.
"Tsk tsk" shaking his head slightly still with a smirk he spoke "Remember Rica Liars go into the fiery pit" I finally gave up and the next thing I began to laugh. Dili gave him a cautious look, probably because I seemed crazy.
"Fine you caught I was lying" I said with a low chuckle "But did you really expect me to just admit it out loud to you that I liked you or something. How do you expect someone to do that?" It didn't even register immediately in my mind that I had just said 'liked' and not 'find you attractive'. What was happening to me today? I guess it's the lack of sleep, definitely has to be that.
I don't know what I was expecting from Dili but I was definitely not expecting him to smile so wide.
Responding to what I said he spoke "Easy, just like this" he paused "I like you too my dear fiancee, and I find you just as attractive, that is if not even more than you fine me" I was completely still as I took in what he had just told me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not that dumb. I knew from the way Dili acted around me I knew he had to have some sort of feelings for me, I didn't doubt that for a second. I mean it was common sense after all.
But it's just that hearing him admit it out loud just hits differently. I guess when people say that they feel butterflies in their stomach it wasn't all crap. I really do stand corrected yet again.
"God it felt so good saying that out finally. Keeping something like that for soo long isn't healthy I tell you" He spoke so casually like what he said few seconds ago didn't happen. Or was I just overreacting?
I didn't really know what to say as I was literally short of words, but luckily I didn't have to say anything else as Dili spoke yet again, a dazzling smile gracing his face reminding me of one of the many things I found attractive about him.
"Get some rest Rica, I'll be right here when you wake up. And don't worry I will wake you up when it's time for lunch break" I only nodded my head while also giving him a grateful smile.
And boy was I stupid to trust his words. He didn't wake me up when it was lunch break oh no, when I woke up school had already ended and Dili was nowhere in sight. The only thing I saw was a well written note saying he was sorry and that something urgent had come up.
