CHAPTER 9

Talent

The sound of the scissors cutting the papers is what I've heard in our four corner room. I was blown away and annoyed that I stopped cutting the paper with only designs for the stage because there was a program later.

I can feel the bullets of sweat on my forehead down to my neck. Damn it's hard to be active and be nice just to help when I can just sleep and let my classmates do it all.

Changing yourself is not easy huh? after all, there is probably nothing in this world that is easy. Unless we're going to talk about money. No, let me rephrase it. If you have money everything is so easy.

My life is easy because I have money. And I felt a bit guilty because I just realized that I don't have the same status with the people around me.

I continued cutting the papers and when I finished I stood up immediately to get some air outside. I lick my lower lip and roam my eyes around the classroom. I took a deep breath and completely left the classroom.

I can't contact Keegan because exactly he doesn't even have a phone with him. Should I buy him a phone? So that I can contact him anytime I want? Am I really this desperate towards him?

I rolled my eyes when someone bumped into me. I already prepared my glare towards the person who recklessly bumped on me but my lips suddenly parted. I think my world just suddenly stopped and I can feel my eyes twinkling because of excitement.

"Sorry, sorry." Keegan stammered in front of me. he adjusted his glasses and nervously looked at me. Just like my reaction. I saw how his lips parted at the sight of me.

He's not absent? I thought he wouldn't come in today, because he was so late. he opened his mouth to speak but was immediately cut off when I suddenly held his hand and intertwined our fingers. My heart was beating so hard as we walked the road to the hidden garden at our school where we both hung out.

I stopped panting and so did Keegan when we were in front of a small table and on the side of it were small chairs facing each other.

"Sit down," I ordered Keegan while calming myself.

Keegan then innocently sat on the left chair. He placed his bag on the table before slowly looking up at her.

"You didn't even miss me?!" my voice suddenly went in a higher tone as I asked him. My eyes widened when I realized that my question was wrong. Why Angel? who are you for him to miss your absence for the whole week?

I want to slap myself right now because of the shame I felt. I calmed myself down before sitting on a chair. Keegan curious gray eyes followed my every move making me feel uneasy.

I cleared my throat as I stared at his gray orbs. I hid my shaking hands and swallowed hard while staring at Keegan. I just want to ask him if he misses me or not. We didn't see each other for a week because I was absent. my family and my relatives bond together for the whole week. Even if I don't want to go, my parents won't let me.

I used to love skipping class. I still make many excuses just to not get in. But now I feel like I want to live here at school. it's because of one person.

"How are you? Did you enjoy where you went?" Keegan suddenly broke the silence as he asked those questions.

I tried to smile at him to show that I was happy because I saw him. But his questions made me disappointed. i thought he would say he missed me. But why should I assume that he misses me too? As much as I miss him?

I brushed my hair nervously using my fingers as I licked my lower lip while smiling at him.

"Me and my cousins ​​bond together in their exclusive resort. we did a lot and had fun. I enjoyed being with them...” but it's more fun when I'm with you. "We catch up on so many things. It was great, we had so much fun there.” I said as I laughed fakely.

Keegan eyes went in slits as he looked at my face. I was surprised when he suddenly removed his glasses. He suddenly stood up and crouched a bit. My eyes widened when I felt his hands hold my jaw gently before he closed his eyes as he angled his face to kiss my lips in a softer way.

He brushed his lips on mine in an innocent way making me dizzy. And all the butterflies inside my stomach suddenly went to war. I closed my eyes and felt Keegan's lips moving innocently. My yuki is really learning.

I didn't move my lips and just let Keegan kiss me the way he wanted. I wanted to feel how he missed me with his kisses. I want to feel how much he misses my presence because I miss him the same way.

"I miss you so much." keegan soft and shy voice whispered on my lips making me smirk. I opened my eyes and immediately found his gray eyes. My eyes glistened with joy when he caressed my face in a gentle way.

He snorted while looking at my whole body. I was just stunned by him and still can't recover from him kissing me! And take note that he made the first move! He kissed me! Alister Keegan just kissed me because he missed me!

I want to slap myself because I feel like this is too much for my body. Mommy didn't teach me to flirt but why am I flirting? Maybe because I have my Dad genes huh? Mommy said that Daddy is flirtatious.

“The color of your skin suits you now. You look even better.” he whispered making my face flush.

I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling because of his damn compliment but I can't help it. A smile appeared on my lips even though I tried to stop it. Whenever I'm with Keegan. I just can't help myself to be happy. I voluntarily feel peace and contentment in my heart when I am with him.

Is this the sign of falling so deep and hard? If I ever fall for him, will I ask for more than what we have now? would I desperately ask him to be my boyfriend instead of being just his friend with benefits?

Really Angel? You think you're not falling so deep at your state right now?!

But I don't want to rush things. And I don't want to pressure Keegan. we are both happy with what we have now. And at our age, everything should not be rushed.

All I know is that I'm happy knowing that I love Keegan. I don't want to order him to love me back just because I want him to do so. i want him to love me because he's falling for me not just because of my order.

Love is not an order to do so. Love is an unexpected feeling you felt for someone. You don't know where it starts and when it should end. You can't even recall why you feel love for that person. you just feel it so unexpectedly.

"Our graduation is so close. Do you have a plan where you will go to college?” I asked Keegan while tracing his thick black brows. Even though he had thick eyebrows, it didn't hinder him from looking innocent.

The innocent boy who's willing to learn in everything. I smirked.

"I don't know yet where I will go to college, but I plan to go to a university with low tuition." he said as he was eating some potchi. He bought many packs of potchi. He said it was a gift to me. I can't even tell him that everything he does is that I appreciate it so much.

"Hmm what if we go to the same school? Voltaire University is a nice school. What do you think?"

I stopped stroking his eyebrows because he sat up.

He licked his lips making them wet. my attention went to his lips but immediately returned to his face when he took a bite. Angel you shameless bitch!

"That's a good case, I can't afford it. Too expensive.” he laughed softly as he chewed on the potchi. my mood suddenly fell when I saw his smiling lips but his eyes were sad.

I have a lot of money in my ATM cards. Maybe I can teach him, right? yes, that's my parents' money but I don't use their money enough because I can't spend it because I don't see anything to spend it on. But now I have one.

"What is your dream? Like dream profession?” I asked him curiously. something happened to us once and we all kissed but we only knew a little about each other.

Actually I want to ask some questions about his life. I want to know him more. I want to be part of him. But I'm afraid. I'm afraid of rejection and trust issues.

What if he doesn't want me to ask things about his life? What if he has trust issues and he can't just tell his story to a girl like me.

I maybe want him so bad but I limit myself.

I know where I will be. I know my boundaries.

"I want to be a police officer." he said dreamily while licking the side of his lips. I snorted because the ex's movements were sexy in my eyes.

“Hmm... that's why you took the HUMSS Strand right?”

He nodded his head immediately. he put a potchi in his mouth again and chewed it while looking at me intently.

"What profession do you want? Why did you do HUMSS?” I smiled because you could see his curiosity.

I clicked my tongue and shrugged my shoulders. I honestly don't even know why I did HUMSS. And I don't even think about whether it is connected to the course I will take in college. Because I don't have any plans in college.

But now I think I have plans. I don't want to call myself a mature one just because I already have a plan in college and already know what course I want to take and study.

Because I'm far from being matured. I know I'm still an immature. The always immature Angel Kate Francisco.

i know the course i want is not connected with the strand i studied right now. But I want this course so bad and I know to myself that I'm so ready for this course.

I don't even know where I found my courage to decide to take this course in college. I just know that I'm in love and I want to be the aid of him when something bad happens to him.

I already know what he really wants in college. I already know his dream profession. I just asked so he wouldn't notice.

Keegan wants to be a police officer someday and I myself decided to take nursing in college to be a nurse someday. I know it's a crazy idea but I imagined myself being the one he needed whenever he gets hurt. I want to take care of him whenever he's hurt. I just want to be his help so bad.

Look what love made me... It's like before I had no dreams. I just want to play and explore as long as I want. But right now, I can say that I'm slowly changing.

Not to impress myself but to impress Keegan. Is this bad? Even if it is I don't mind. I just want to make an effort for him. I'll do everything to be fit for him.

"Secret first. I will tell you after our graduation." I said to him cheekily making him pout his lips a bit.

"Can you stick your tongue out?" I ordered him smiling. His brows furrowed as he bit the inside of his cheeks. costaguero stop being so cute and innocent will you?!

"Why?" he asked doubtfully.

"As long as I have something to do." I said urging him to do what I said.

"Why then?" he curiously asked making me roll my eyes.

"Nevermind. You have many more questions." I hissed making him panic. I laughed at his reaction. Cutie yuki.

"This is it. Just don't get mad.” he muttered as he slowly stuck his tongue out making my eyes twinkled. Literally my good boy.

I brought my face closer to him and quickly sucked his tongue causing him to inhale. I held his neck as I sipped his tounge. Hmm... so sweet. The potchi taste so good inside his mouth!

Keegan moaned a bit when I softly bit his lower lip, teasing him. I chuckled when I heard his deep breathing. I moved my face a little away from his face to see his reaction. his sleepy gray eyes made my body hot.

Get a grip Angel Kate! You are in the school garden! Okay?!

"Do you like girls know how to sing?" I asked with full of curiosity while staring deeply at his gray eyes.

He bit his lip and looked at me firmly "Why did you ask?" he whispered softly.

Nothing? You liar?! What is nothing? You definitely saw how amusement crossed from his eyes while looking at Naurica singing on the stage earlier right?

After we said hello earlier and after our kiss. We go to the gym because we have a program. I'm a liar if I will say that I'm not jealous just because of the damn amusement I saw in his eyes!

Everyone will probably be amazed by the voice that Naurica has. Yeah right. We were still young and Naurica really had a lot of talent. but even if she has all the talents in this world I can't feel a bit jealous towards her. But right now, I just want to even have one talent just to impress Keegan.

I'm afraid that the things that happened in the past will happen again. But I won't let it happen though not the second way around.

"Nothing, I just thought you like girls who sing or have any talents?" I said and kissed his lips.

I know I also know how to sing. But in a pleasurable way though. I smirked at my wild thoughts. Someday Keegan, I'll show my talent to you.
