"So, she's already here?" Jeremy responded.
With what they just heard, Chris and Ken's faces brightened up.
Chris quickly rose up from sitting, rushing to Yenny. "Really?? Serin's here?? She's back??"
Because of his surging excitement, unknowingly, he held Yenny's shoulders and faced her, not just close but intimately close, making him unintentionally pin her against the kitchen counter
Yenny can't step back, being pressed intimately.
That sudden and awkward intimacy Chris is giving her flustered Yenny, she flinched.
Looking at Chris' hands that are holding her s
The man looked at Glenn. "Are you wondering who drew that?" Glenn gave him a confused look. "Mr. Jeremy Sean." The man answered and then he stepped back. Hearing what the man said, Glenn gets more puzzled. How Jeremy knew that scenario in the drawing began to cloud his mind. "By the way, I am a regular guest here." The man said and then turned his back to leave. Glenn remains unresponsive because he has been absorbed in puzzling oddness surrounding the drawing. It is unthinkable that Serin's desc
"Are you sure that Serin did not tell you where she's staying?" Ken asked Yenny again. They are having an afternoon tea in the small garden outside Yenny's house. They are sitting on the wooden bench under the shade of big trees. White clouds in the clear blue sky are gently moving around. The scattered bright rays are smiling through the dancing leaves. The chirping birds are excitedly flying around the tree branches. The cheerful butterflies are happily playing with the gentle breeze. The consoling beauty of nature in this peaceful neighborhood is definitely therapeutic. "I should have recorded the call." There was a hint of annoyance in Yenny's response.
"I can't go home with you." Jeremy said. Yenny looked confused. "Where are you going?" "To the basketball gym. I will try out for the varsity team." He was really excited. "Good luck!" Yenny's face instantly lit up. "Thanks! See you at the house." Jeremy said and then he hustled outside the room. Yenny was really happy for Jeremy because she knew how much he loved playing basketball. It had only been a week since they entered junior high school, but Jeremy already decided to try out for the varsity team.
Dave looked at Yenny. "Should I tell them?" Yenny avoided Dave's eyes and looked at Jeremy instead. "I owed him that smoothie, that's why." The guys were just teasing Yenny when they started complaining about their cold drinks. Like Dave, they would usually annoy her to see her cute reaction. But Dave's Yenny was puzzling them at the moment. "Why? What did he do?" All of a sudden, Ken became nosy. "Do you really have to know everything?" Yenny's response made the three guys crack up, especially that it was Ken who got attacked.
Yenny's question did not put Chris to awkwardness anymore because fortunately, he was prepared for it. He already expected that Yenny would ask him the same question he had just asked her. "Aren't you too straightforward to ask me that question?" The guy responded. Yenny laughed mutedly. His witty response to her is the same exact answer she gave him a while ago. Chris sighed, discreetly. In the back of his mind, he keeps wishing that Yenny would no longer ask him about his first love. "You dated a lot of girls when we were in high school, I suddenly got curious who among them was your first love." &nbs
Butterflies in his stomach. Trembling heart. Blushing face. "I'm asking you. What did you say?" "You heard me or not?" Chris buried his shaky voice in seriousness. Yenny faced him closer. "If I heard you, I wouldn't have asked you." A deep sigh from Chris. But then suddenly, Yenny held his hand again. "If you're wondering why we have to catch him, I will explain to you later. Okay?" "O..Okay." Yenny dragged him again while holding his hand,
"I was just joking." Chris burst into laughter. After whispering in her ear, he took his arm off her shoulders.. Without a warning, a sharp slap landed on Chris' face. That was such a painful slap. Yenny's infuriated eyes were digging holes in him, giving him a stare filled with annoyance. "What's wrong with you? Can't I joke??" He was holding the left side of his red face. "That's not a funny joke!!" Yenny's annoyance blasted, feeling upset. How Yenny looked irritated did not alarm Chris. It was even a cute sight. Without him realizing it, a sweet smile cr
"Wow! I can't believe that you can still remember that day." Chris is smiling at the thought of that very first moment his heart fluttered because of Yenny. "Of course. That's unforgettable. I felt like riding a rollercoaster that day." Yenny is all smiles. "Which one put you in the most heart-stopping moment? The joke I played on you? Or the question I asked you?" Hearing Chris' question, the beaming smile on Yenny's face instantly fainted. But the guy didn't see it because he is focused on driving. Yenny looked at Chris. "Do you like Dave? That question." "Why?"
