That Curly Guy

He whispered "I love you" I want to say the same thing to him. But I really felt guilty for being Marupok, Just for a week I fell in love with him. Maybe it's because I never moved on from him.

I touched his face, and kiss his forehead. I don't know what I'm doing, I pulled back as he flinched after I smack his forehead.

I looked at him all embarrassed, blushing and covering my face with a pillow.

He was surprised by the kiss, He smirked. I moved a bit backwards, making him slightly confused.

"I'm not supposed to be falling in love" talking to my self with a very very quiet sound.

He went outside my room. I stand up and peek at the door to see him. I went back squeezing my self at the corner when I saw him pulling a small box, from his jacket.

I'm not sure what's inside but it kinda looks like a ring. He walked back inside and showed me the box. I blushes looking away to the window. He looked at me, he glows as the sunlight shines at him from the window.

"I wanted to give you this, at that day" he said. I looked at him while he's talking to me at his manly voice.

He opened the box, it was a ring. Two rings, "This one's for you" he said then asked for my hand, He put the ring on my ring finger. "And this one's for me" he said, I saw his and it was same as mine. He wants me to put the rings into his ring finger, just like we've been married. I felt a little romantic excitement, and my bloods running really fast all over my body, I can't seem to control my legs.

"I made this myself" he said, I looked at his eyes. He smiled at me. I-I don't know what to say anymore.

I saw the wall clock and was shocked after I saw the time.

I completely forgotten about the cafe, it's already 10:58 in the morning. I went to the cabinet and searched for my uniform, "I just saw it here"still searching.

Timothy handed it over to me after he saw it on the floor. I grabbed it and took everything off, then changing my clothes to my uniform, and doesn't even mind if Timothy's looking.

I locked my house and then walks to the Cafe, I looked back and saw Timothy following me and heard him whistling. "Are you going to follow me around? All day?!" I asked him with a quirking eyebrows.

"Yes, I'll follow you, just make it up for you" He answered and continued whistling looking at the small shops lining at other side of the road.

I ignored him and kept on walking. I arrived at the cafe, I mean, we arrived at the cafe. There were only 6 customers inside the cafe. I turn my head to Timothy, to see if he's still following me.

He raised his right eyebrow at me, like those brows are talking to me, "what are you looking at?" The imaginary voice of Timothy's eyebrows. I rolled my eyes at him then continued to the mini kitchen.

Just like the past days, he sat on the seat just right next to the counter. A few minutes later, Luicita came with man, he's tall and has a cutly hair, I think it's his son, or nephew. "Theo, I want another of those of your specialties" she said then smiled at me, "And a strawberry cupcake for him" she said, I went to the kitchen, while Stephanie was washing the dishes.

"So what happened, ey" she said while looking at me, smirking. "What?" I was confused. "You went with that Mr. Face mask, who happens to be your long lost boyfriend." She said.

"I know you guys did something, you took 3 hours" she added. I chuckled, "nothing happened, okay?" I said, while smiling. "I can keep your dirty secret, Just spit it out, we're best friends, right?" She said.

"Nothing happened" i said.

I finished decorating the cupcake with sparkles, strawberries and even added a cherry on top like an ice cream, so it'll look as special as it tastes. Then also finished the same order of Luicita on her first visit here.

"Good morning, here's your order, maam" I greet Luicita in a very polite way. "oh, Dear, This is my son, Harold, he just flew from Canada." she introduced me to her son, I smiled at them. Her son was not paying attention and just started to play with the cupcake.

"Good morning, sir" I greet him, but got no response. I was about to go back to the counter when the guy said something "It tastes bad" he said, he puahed his plate a bit off him.

"Uhm, sir?" I asked, he looked at me, "this is your specialty? It tastes like a rat" he said, it's kinda insulting, but I kept thinking how does he know what a rat tastes like.

I took his plate and smelled the cupcake if it's really that bad, I also tasted it. Just as it touched the tip of my tongue, I already wanted to spit it out. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll make another one" I said.

"I don't want to eat, I already lost my appetite" I heard him talking to Luicita. "Then I'll eat it" she replied.

I went to the kitchen to make another strawberry cupcake. I decided to make two cupcakes and with new ingredients and not the one I used before. That Harold guy was looking at me, I smiled at him then he looked away.

I noticed that Timothy is missing, so I asked Stephanie, "He got a phone call, from his boss" she said. "That's what I heard" she added

I continued, I served the cupcakes at their table, he was looking outside, "here's the cupcakes, ma'am" I said, "you don't have to pay for it." I added, then  went to the kitchen, I was looking at them, "this is trash, I don't want it" Harold said.

"If you don't want it, I'll eat it" Luicita said, "Apologize to Matheo, he made those cupcakes, those are his specialty, it's not ok to tell them that their food is trash". Harold was stubborn, he even rolled his eyes at his mother then he went outside, looking annoyed.

A few more customers came and so as Luicita left with a cupcake, Timothy also came back and decided to help.

It was a long day at work, but still worth it, I got a total of a hundred tips. Timothy decided to go and so as Stephanie before 9 in the evening.

I was alone walking at this street, A weird feeling strikes me, it feels like someone's following me. I started to walk faster. I'm almost at my house's door, "Hey!" A voice came from behind me with a familiar voice.

"Theo, right?" I faced him and saw Harold, Luicita's son. "Sorry, 'bout what happened, I'm really, really, really sorry" he sounds sincere. I just smiled at him, "It actually tastes good, I'm really sorry for what happened." He said, I smiled at him and nodded.

I grab the keys at my pocket. I opened the door but Harold was still standing there behind me. "Your Mom must be waiting for you" I said before entering. He replied by shaking his head. "Okay? Bye? I guess?" I smiled at him again and closed the door.

I peeked at the peekhole to see if he's still outside. And just as I thought, he's still there. I opened the door and asked him to come inside. He nodded as an answer, I let him in. He sat down at the sofa.

"Your mom might be worried by now" I said.

"No, she's still at her photoshoot, she told me that she'll be back by 3 am after her meeting with her amigas, tommorow" he said.

"You, can survive this?"he said, I looked at him, confused. "I mean, you can survive being alone?"

"I'm not alone, I have my cafe, my other friends, this house, my cat, my TV, and all my books." I said. "With books, it will take you to the world you've been reading. So you'll feel that you're included in the story, It makes you feel that you're not alone." I smiled at him and went to the kitchen.

"I'm really sorry about the cupcake, I'm just in a bad mood that time, my grandmother died last month so I have to live with my mom, she only cares about those stupid modeling." He said, he reminds me of myself when I was little, he's kinda cute though, I mean, he's acting cute.

"Is it ok if I stay here, for a little longer?" He asked, He smiled at me when I answered yes. I turned on the TV so he can watch.

Two hours passed, Harold was already asleep, I was sitting next to him. I decided to call his mom by his phone cause I don't have her contact.

So I called her from Harold's phone on the table, "Hello? Ma'am?"

"Hello? Who is this? Why are you using my son's phone?" She asked, calmly. I looked at Harold's face, he looks like he's having a nice dream.

"It's me, Theo, ma'am." I said, she started to talk to me with a joyful tone. "Harold fell asleep on my sofa, he wanted to stay here because you're not home yet, so I let him"

"ohh, please don't wake him up, just let my baby stay there, okay?"

She ended the call.

It started to become a little chilly, so I went to my room to get him a clean new blanket. He started moving a bit and sleep talking with random words.

I once again looked at his face, he has a clear skin, his lips look so soft, pointy nose. He's kinda cute though, with his saliva all over his left cheek. Luicita was right he really is a baby.

I also fell asleep at the sofa, without any blankets or anything to cover me.

I woke up at my bed, I rushed to the living room to see Harold, but he wasn't in there, guess he already went home. He maybe carried me to my room, that was kinda embarrassing, I'm a little bit heavy. I smiled and my face was blushing while my mind is stuck with Harolds

*Ringing*

I picked up my phone on the table, "Hello?" The caller asked, "Theo? It's  me, Harold" he said, I smiled and looked at the sofa where he slept, "I got your number, I saw it in your cafe's sign board." He said, maybe he's not that bad or something, he's just a cute little baby of his mama Luicita.

We ended the call, I went to the bathroom just to take a short shower. I turned the shower on with warm water.

"Theo?" Timothy just opened the bathroom door without even knocking. I screamed and throw the bottle of shampoo at him. "Oh, sorry"

I finished taking a bath, I glared at him before entering my room, he was just sitting at the dining area. "Why are you barging into someone's house?!" I asked him while I was dressing up.

"you left the door unlocked!" He replied.

"You could have just knocked!"

*Knocks* he knocked at my room's door, he entered without my permission, he just knocked and entered, Argh!

He hugged me from behind, just like what he always does, I started blushing like this is my first time.

But still, this doesn't feel right, I'm falling in love with the one who broke my heart, Isn't that stupidity? I don't want to fall in love.

I wasn't completely dressed, so he just sat down at the bed.

Is it okay to fall in love again?

Is it okay to love him again?
