One month:

"I'll drive you home…" he says as he drags me towards to who cares where. I took a deep breath before forcing him to stop by pulling myself towards the opposite direction. He stops and when he turns around I pulled him into a hug. I don't need anything by now but someone I can lean on. Surprisingly, he hugs me back. Circling my arms around his waist, I started crying. Crying my life out, thinking what could I be if he wasn't here to keep me company. I felt how his hands hold the small back of mine and my head, soothing me till I keep calm. "Shhh…" I hear him say, trying to keep me calm. I forced myself to stop crying and then pull away. "I'm sorry… it's just that--", "Let's get you home?" he cut me off. I bit my lip and then nod afterwards. Maybe he wasn't bad after all, he wasn't that bad.

"Are we just going to walk?" I whined as I finally feel my feet getting numb. He smiles before looking at me. "You bring a car?" he asked sarcastically. I only rolled my eyes before I stop on walking and then made my way to the near bench. "As if I have a car" said me. He took a seat beside me and then we remained silent. "I was wondering how you got that bracelet when you already gave that to me." I turned to him with maybe a sad expression. He gives this back to me and now he's asking how? Maybe I'll be fine if he will quit playing. "Don't play dumb, quit that already. What hurts me the most is you know you can give this back directly, right? Why did you just put this back on my bag and then acted like you accepted it. I… I thought… ugh, nevermind." I smiled bitterly. "I did not put that in your bag… actually I've been looking for that earlier this evening, thinking that I have lost it." Suddenly, my heart starts to beat fast as I felt him took my hand. "I'm going to take this, this was mine." He said as he slips the bracelet out of my wrist. I only looked at him, enchanted. I watch him wear it on his left hand. Unconsciously, I find myself smiling.

"So, you bring a car after all!" I whined as I hop inside his car. "You didn't ask me." He answered with a matter-of-fact tone. "Well, duh!?" I scoffed before buckling my seatbelt on. The ride was silent but it wasn't awkward at all, it was comforting. "Didn't know you have the stamina to walk this far." I turned to him with an annoyed face before saying "I was thinking! I don't know that I really walk this far", "and you don't feel tired?" he asked only for me to rolled my eyes. "Just shut up and drive, will you?" I answered annoyed. I heard him chuckles and then say "whatever" before completely shutting his mouth up.

"Thank you for the ride" I said as I get off of his car. He only nodded and then I feel awkward when our eyes met. He didn't look away and I don't know how long I could handle staring back at him. My heart is beating fast, obviously. I am the first one to give up and look away. "Do-- do you want to come in? Ahm… coffee?" He smiles but nods afterwards. "I'll just park my car, you go upstairs first. I'll follow you." I nodded and then turn my heels. I let out the air that I unconsciously hold earlier when I find myself lost staring at him. I enter my apartment and then walk straight to the kitchen, preparing the hot water, coffee, sugar and cream. I took two coffee cups from the drawer and then wash it before placing it in the table. I heard the doorbell rings right before I could even wash my face. I made my way to the door and open it. "We've been away for quite a while so my apartment is kinda messy now, hope you don't mind." Actually, the living room is the only place in my apartment that is messy. I made a space for him so he can walk inside my house before we both made our way to the kitchen saying, "My kitchen is clean, let's sit there." I awkwardly smiled. He nods before he followed me walking to my kitchen. "You want some cookies?", "No but thank you." I don't know but all of a sudden it feels so awkward. I wasn't like this before, maybe because he already knows my feelings so that I feel so awkward around him. I brought to him his coffee before sipping mine, sitting across him. "Are you living alone?" He asked as he took a sip, I nodded. "Your parents?" I gulped not comfortable with the topic but answer anyway. "My mom was gone…" I started befo
