Chapter 5

"You really did wait for me, I thought you would change your mind"

"Oh" chuckles

"Well, why not?" she added

"You know, I really hate when some girls like you would wait for me this long," He said as he sat with Zoe.

"It makes me feel a less man I don't know," He said without looking at her.

"Oh, don't worry. We're best friends right?"

"Well, yeah but you're a girl--I- I can't just let a girl--"

"I know what you mean, like c'mon!" She chuckles and said, "It's like you only met me for a day."

"Sorry"

"Why you're sorry?"

"Nothing, nevermind."

"Let's go Zeolite?"

You're a gentleman. That's why you're sorry for letting a girl waiting for you. But It's my will because I want to. and It's not I'm seeing him as becoming a less man. It's just that, he follows for what I want.

"You alright?"

"Oh yeah. Let's go come on" Zoe said and she held Nico's arms as they ran smiling.

We've been best friends for like years.

It's funny I started to act as more than this. I mean-- with a feeling of being with a best friend is different from a couple right?

but what am I doing? I'm hiding a secret from my best friend.

She slowly holding Nico's hand, until it touched and closed.

Nico smiled

I smiled back and looked away.

We are just a best friend.

But I wonder,

They say A boy and a girl can be friends forever.

but why am I falling? I can't be that 85 % of girls who fall in love with her friend.

Who wouldn't fall for him? He's smart, gentleman, charming and hard-working guy.

But I think breaking a friendship for a temporary relationship? I don't know.

But what about everybody out there? Would they ruin a friendship for a temporary relationship? But we never know if it's temporary or not. I think they would choose to confess.

Usually, they end up being together.

I want that to happen. But It's impossible. Look at him, this guy.

Is totally in love with me, as a friend.

I have predictions from him, and his preferences for a girl is like my cousin Keisha. He likes smart, beautiful, and simple. Yes, I'm describing Keisha, because that his type.

What about me? I'm just a girl who loves to do what I want and studying only when I want or never. I want to learn something new but when only that thing is I'm curious about.

They say I'm cute, chubby face, and sexy whatever. I only love writing story, poetry and prose. But there's nothing to do with that to make Nico fall in love with me.

What am I thinking?

Well, I think I will love him until it stops, without losing myself then.

"Lately, I was thinking of a place with stars and mountains, you know It's much prettier at night."

"Really? But why?"

"I need some fresh air, and aesthetic place"

"Take me there now!" she chuckled and say "only but!" and she stopped walking as she pinches his nose.

"With chocolate cake and some snacks and drinks!!!" she added.

He held her hand the one that being pinched his nose as he chuckles and says "No need to say, I know what you wanted to eat" and put his other hand in his pocket while they were walking.

Now, this is the 48th time he held my hand.

[Now playing Stuck In The Moment Justin Bieber]

With you,

With you

I wish we had another time,

I wish we had another place

At the store, they were happy and playing, and finalizing of choosing a snack and drinks.

Now Romeo and Juliet,

Bet they never felt the way we felt,

Bonnie and Clyde,

Never had to hide like,

We do,

We do

They even don't know which cake to buy, they're both look delicious! Red ribbon's cake so many beautiful and tasty cake to choose from.

You and I both know it can't work,

It's all fun and games,

'Til someone gets hurt,

And I don't,

I won't let that be you

"I don't know," Zoe said as she sighs

"Hmm pick your favorite"

"Well, they're all my favorite!"

"Come on, choose it for me for me."

"Okay then," Nico said as he was leaving Zoe standing.

Now you don't wanna let go,

And I don't wanna let you know,

There might be something real between us two, who knew?

After 5 minutes of waiting while Zoe looking at the beautiful cakes and standing, sitting, playing with her shoes.

Now we don't wanna fall but,

We're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy,

'Cause I know you can't love me here

Well, would you look at that guy? Looking as hot as he walks through Zoe. Nico's killer smile is tripping her.

"I think this cake I've found, describes as you," Nico said as he shows the cake for her.

It's a chocolate cake. A simple chocolate cake.

I wish we had another time,

I wish we had another place,

But everything we had is stuck at the moment,

"Oh, It's simple but, beautiful"

He just smiled and pays the cake.

And there's nothing my heart can do (can do),

To fight with time and space 'cause,

I'm still stuck at the moment with you

See like,

Just because this cold cold world saying we can't be,

They walk through with their hands holding and Nico's left hand holding a flashlight.

Baby, we both have the right to disagree,

And I ain't with it,

And I don't wanna be so old and gray,

Until they get to mini-mountains, Nico and Zoe didn't take to rest for a while because if they stop and rest, It's gonna be a long way to go.

Reminiscin' 'bout these better days,

But the convention's telling us to let go,

So we'll never know

"Almost there," Nico said as he was holding her hand tight

I wish we had another time,

I wish we had another place,

'Cause everything we did,

And everything we have is stuck at the moment,

Yeah

This is not the first time he asked me out. But, this is the 3rd time. It just feels like a real date.

I wish we had another time,

I wish we had another place,

But everything we have is stuck at the moment, And there's nothing my heart can do,

Until they reach the final spot for a better view.

"Ahh! Finally!" Nico said as he takes off his jacket and puts it on the grass. Gets his bag and put all the snacks and drinks.

To fight with time and space 'cause, (and space)

I'm still stuck at the moment with you.

Zoe sat on the grass and leans on the big rock and she placed her feet in a comfortable way, and same as Nico.

This is Nico's favorite place.

A view with so many lights from buildings, the stars above, windy and silent.

"You know, people always talked about us, especially the teachers, how we're so cute, perfect couple, they want us to be together." He chuckled as I smiled.

Zoe didn't want to utter a word, she likes silently loving her best friend.

Suddenly, romantic music coming from a city,

I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in

And follow my lead

"You heard that?"

"Heard what?"

Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet

"Oh yes wait this sounds familiar to me," Zoe said as she tries to remember.

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

Nico chuckles as he looked at Zoe from the eyes.

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slowly, your heart is all I own

And in your eyes, you're holding mine

"Perfect!" Zoe

"Ed Sheeran!"

Both chuckled and Zoe lays on Nico's shoulder

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

"Yeah, favorite song for every couple," Zoe said as they were watching the cities and the lights.

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight.

Nico turn his head back to Zoe,

Well, I found a woman,

stronger than anyone I know

Nico wears his perfect smile while staring at Zoe, looking beautiful.

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

Nico smiled as he stood up and says, "May I have this dance?" And offered his hand

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own

Zoe smiled so gleamingly and says

"Of course" she chuckled as they started to dance, a basic waltz dance.

We are still kids, but we're so in love

Fighting against all odds

I know we'll be alright this time

Darling, just hold my hand

Be my girl, I'll be your man

I see my future in your eyes

As they were dancing, Zoe wears a perfect smile, while Nico wears a smile with the butterflies in his stomach, you can see it in Nico's eyes, that he's enjoying and always love to dance with Zoe.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

As they were heading home, Nico gave a  piggyback ride to Zoe, even in going down from mini-mountains, look how they're getting cuter and cuter again.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this

You look perfect tonight
