Chapter 8
Who Should I choose?
“JR!!! Omg, I’m sorry I’m late. L.Joe took me somewhere,” Sparrow
breathed heavily as she slowed to a walk when she saw JR. “L.Joe?
What does that dude want?”
“Oh, nothing much. He just apologised to me and all sorts. We made
a deal, he will get his queenkas to stop bothering me and I’ll be his
friend.”
“His FRIEND?!”
“Yeah, I know right. L.Joe wants me to be his friend. Freaky much.
Whatever, at least I’m expecting some peace and privacy now. Let’s
get going, you say you want to bring me somewhere, right?”
“Yeah, let’s go,” JR finished off.
JR’s POV
L.Joe… he’s a jerk, coming from the same gender as him, you know
he’s really an idiot. Now that their ‘friends’, I have to work harder to
win Sparrow’s heart first. I have a feeling that L.Joe likes Sparrow.
My heart is going to explode soon, I’m confessing to Sparrow today
actually, I’m bringing her to the café she likes at the corner of the
street. I don’t know if she feels the same… What if she doesn’t like
me? That’ll be awkward. Someone help me! I didn’t know it was
that hard to confess to someone. I feel for the girls who confess
to Aron hyung all the time. So I’ll treat her to ice cream then tell
her how I feel and ask her to be my girlfriend? That sounds cliché,
maybe something Shakespeare-y, like will you be my Juliet? Ahhhh,
this is so frustrating. I’ll just say I love her not in the friends way
but romantically. Will that be okay? I hope it will. I did tell the café
workers to prepare me a bouquet of roses, I hope that eases things
up.
“Where are we going anyway?” She asked.
“That café you like. I have something to tell you. It needed to be away
from the crowds,” I replied, thinking of her reaction when I confess.
“Tell me something? Like what?”
“You’ll see.”
~At the café~
“I’ll treat,” I told her, “ what flavour do you want?”
“Aww, thanks. I’ll have a raspberry rose. I’ll get us some seats.”
I nodded and only when she turned and walked a few steps away
then I placed the order.
“Hey, I’m JR. The guy who ordered the roses,”
“Ah, yes sir. Do you want them now?”
“No, but later can you help me pass it to that girl? Like when I give
you a signal then you walk up to her and say that I ordered it but
pass it to her. Please? I’m confessing to her today,” I sheepishly said,
feeling embarrassed.
“Sure! It’s gonna be so sweet. I think she’s waiting for you. You
ordering anything?”
“Yeah, thanks! One cup with raspberry rose and another cup with
lime sorbet. Thanks.”
“$10.80, sir. Good luck with the confession!”
“Thanks, I’ll need it.”
“What took you so long? Catching up with an old friend?” Sparrow
asked when I got back. “Ah, not exactly, just talking about some
things about the shop.”
She let it slip and talked about a different topic. “What did you want
to say to me?”
“About that… urm… I… uh… I just wanted to say how I feel… about
you. I want to say that I… I… I think I like you. I find the things you
do very gentle and angelic and my hearts pumps faster everytime
I see you. Your laughs are like tingling bells, ringing in my ears and
your voice is so beautiful. Everytime before I go to sleep, I think
about you and my heart feels so filled with love. I think, Sparrow, I’m
in love with you,” I finished, feeling very awkward. I looked at the
worker and signalled him to bring the roses while Sparrow was still
digesting.
“Ma’m, these roses are for you. Requested by this gentleman here.”
“Oh, thank you,” she thanked the worker with a tinge of disbelief in
her voice.
She looked at the roses quietly, “JR, I don’t know what to say now, I
mean, I can’t decide,” she looked up and straight into my eyes, “you’re
a lovely boy and I don’t know if I can reject you or not. Maybe you
can give me some time to think?” I felt relieved, yet afraid, “sure.
Think about it and tell me? I know this is kinda abrupt but I hope this
doesn’t affect our friendship. It’s okay if you say no, it would be great
if you said yes but it’s your choice! No pressure.”
She smiled at me and at least she knows my feelings for her, “yeah,
we’ll still be good friends. No pressure. I love the roses though,”
“That’s good to know, I didn’t know what flowers you liked,” I rubbed
the back of my neck, shy.
“Give me some time, yeah?”
I nodded.
CHLOE’S NOTE:
It’s our week long holidays already, YAY! But it doesn’t feel like a
holiday. There’s so much homework from my classes. All those
teachers… T-T
Well, it’s a long update!! JR finally confesses. Sparrow’s maturing in a
way from her previous experience and is thinking of the choices she
can make. “Give me some time, yeah?” shows she’s thinking and not
immediately saying yes! She’s growing up! /tearing/ so proud:D
LOL, now since it’s the holidays, I’ll try to update more~~ maybe
more than 2 times a week?
FRANNNNNY'S NOTE:
