I have been receiving calls from Sevi since yesterday, but I keep ignoring him. I am still confused about what I feel yesterday.
I'm afraid, but I don't know why.
I do not know.
I was lying on the sofa when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mom immediately approached and opened it when—
"Patricia, you got a handsome visitor there," she said smiling at me and finally opened the door. My eyes widened when I saw him.
"Gi — Gio? What are you doing here? "
"I'm just checking if you're alright"
"Huh? You what? " I suddenly realized when mom touched me.
"Ah, why didn't you come in first? Talk to Pat, I'll just get something for you to drink." Mom pulled us into the living room, but my brain still seemed to be floating.
Gio and I just kept quiet. I couldn't speak. I also couldn't lift my head to look at him. I am still ashamed of what happened yesterday. Why do I have to faint at that moment!
"Uhm, Pat?" He said
"Hmm?" I said as I immediately raised my head very heavily. My cheeks were getting hot when our eyes met.
"I don't want to make a move until you give me permission—" he started seriously, and my heart almost came out with a panic of whatever words followed in that sentence.
"Can I…" when the door suddenly opened.
"Patricia!" Sevi shouted as he entered.
"Sevi?" Gio asked and looked at the two of us.
"Hmmm, his house is just near here," I calmly explained to him before I looked at the monkey who had just entered.
"What is your problem!" I shouted when he ignored me and just went straight to the kitchen.
"I didn't know you two are close" I returned to my seat when I heard what he said.
"We've been friends since childhood but were not close, does it bother you?"
"No, it doesn't bother me, I'm happy you have a friend like him"
"I'm not happy, I want him gone in my life but he's more than those leeches on the lake!" I shouted while looking at the kitchen.
I meant to be loud so that he could hear it, but I have paralyzed again when Gio held my hand.
"I like you, Kate," he said seriously, but I could not open my mouth.
"I can wait until you like me back," he said before finally standing up and walking to the door.
"Is he leaving already?" I heard mom ask.
"Yes ma'am, I will be late if I stay longer," he said smiling and looked at me. "Get well soon, see you around" and finally went out the door.
"What happened? Why did he leave immediately? " Mom asked as she walked closer to my seat.
"Mom? I think I'm gonna explode right now "I said dumbfounded.
"Patricia, calm down," Mom said as she walked backward as I could no longer restrain myself. I almost turned my back on the chair and jumped for joy at what Gio said.
"How come my day started with a very beautiful confession !!" I shouted while jumping into the living room. I went to the kitchen while dancing like a princess who found the prince charming,
I caught up with Sevi whose almost spilled all the sandwiches in his mouth.
I can't let this greedy monkey ruin my beautiful morning!
I ignored him and walked back to the living room…
He called me "Pat" so I faced him.
"What!"
"Why don't you answer my call?"
"Because—"
"Forget it, I'm happy to see you all good now."
" You're not angry?"
"Just be ready since you ignore all my calls"
