Self-Convince

Gian was leaning against the wall while waiting for Jasmine to finished from copying her notes. Their classmates and lecturer already left, so it was just Jasmine and Gian inside the classroom.

"Gian?" Jasmine called him while still writing.

"Hmm?"

"Will you walk me home?"

"Sure, just hurry up." Jasmine smiled.

.

"Why are you so jolly?"

"Nothing!" Jasmine hid her smile from Gian.

While walking she trickly held Gian's hands as if she doesn't know what she's doing. Jasmine's eyes rounded and a huge smile began to appeared in her face when Gian intertwined their hands together.

She peek a look at Gian's face to see his reaction but he was just wearing a poker face.

"So, Goodnight?" Gian released her hand when they stopped infront of Jasmine's apartment.

"Don't you want to have some drink? or maybe we can watch a movie together since it's weekend tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll cherish this chance since it only happens once in a blue moon for you to invite me."

.

Jasmine prepared the popcorn, chips and beverages while Gian was busy setting the television.

"What are we going to watch?"

"You choose, you're my visitor." Gian was laughing while shaking his head jokingly.

"Fine, looks like I'm the boss here."

Jasmine placed the foods and beverage on the circular table before sitting beside her bestfriend.

"What movie did you choose?"

"Underworld."

"You never get tired of those, don't you?"

Gian opened a pair of canned soda before handing one to Jasmine.

"Never. What can I say, I love myths."

Both of them focused to the plot of the movie as they finish eating the popcorn and chips.

"Gian?" Jasmine called him while the movie is still playing.

"Hmm?"

"Can you look at me for one sec?"

When Gian was about to look at her, she immediately pulled Gian to a kiss. She can feel Gian's shockness because of her gesture but as her kisses went long, she can feel Gian's response.

Gian placed both of his hand on the side of Jasmine's waist, pushing her body against his. Jasmine can feel her body began to heaten. Gian slowly lied down putting Jasmine's body on top of him.

Jasmine knew that she wants more of Gian's. Her kisses went down to his neck and then she heard Gian's moan of pleasureness.

"You don't belong there."

Jasmine stopped and stared at Gian with eyes full of confusion.

"Did you hear something?" Jasmine stood up to let Gian fix hisself and sat on the sofa.

"I didn't heard a thing, why?"

"N-nothing." She gave Gian a quick smile giving him a sign that he doesn't need to worry.

"Is there something you want to tell about that kiss?" Jasmine immediately looked away.

"I-i know that we are just bestfriends but I-i like you, Gi." She was surprise when Gian pulled her into a hug. She was now leaning against Gian's hard and brawny chest.

"I like you too." Jasmine let Gian wrapped his arms around her before he kissed her shoulder softly. Jasmine stood up to turn off the television.

They both decided to lie on the sofa cuddling each other until they fall asleep with each other's arms.

.

"What are your plans today?" Gian toplessly asked her while they both eating their breakfast.

"Let's go to the library together. The final exam is coming next 2 weeks."

"Sure, then let's go to the city center to eat lunch."

"Nice! We both have nice plans."

.

They both took a taxi. Gian payed the bill before they entered the public library.

"I forgot to get the Philosophy book. Wait, I'll be quick."

"I guess I'll just wait here." She said before pulling herself a seat.

Gian and her picked 6 books all in all to study since the hell week is coming.

Jasmine was busy studying and reading Astrology when she heard a gentle and soft hum of an angel that was singing from afar but she thought that it's weekened and it's only her, Gian and the librarian are there inside.

"Sorry, I had a hard time finding this book." He said pertaining to the book he was holding.

"Is there a live concert or a performance nearby?" She asked Gian out of her curiosity.

"None, it's not allowed to have any performances near the public library."

Jasmine thought that maybe she's just hearing things. So, she just gave her attention unto studying. While studying, Jasmine felt Gian's hand held hers.

They both talked and share each other's idea. Jasmine was amazed when she found out how Gian was good in math espacially trigonometry.

"Got to pee." Gian stood up.

"Why do you always urinate?"

"Instinct, I guess. I'll be back." Jasmine just laughed and shrugged before went back to studying.

"Huh? It has a book two?" She stood up and went to the Astromancy Section while holding the Astrology book. She needs to find the 2nd book of the book she was holding.

"There it is." She sighed when it only took a minute for her to find the 2nd book and it was on the corner of the library.

She pulled the book out of its shelf before putting back the 1st one.

"You don't belong there."

Jasmine suddenly took a step backward when she heard a voice beside her. She turned to saw what it is and then, she saw a metal whose color is black as a raven's feather. There was a green gem on the heart of the metal.

"Is it an orb?" She whispered while slowly reaching for it. She feel like the orb was calling her and Jasmine also was amazed because of its shine and shape. She was about to touch it when someone suddenly touch her shoulder.

"What took you so long?" Gian was so baffled when he saw Jasmine was panting and look so scared.

"You scared me."

"Did I?"

"Yes! You just suddenly appeared and touched my shoulder. Oh gosh, you gave me an heart attack." She laughed nervously before hugging Gian.

"I-i'm so sorry. I'm just worried. What took you so long by the way?"

"I want you to take a look on the--" Jasmine stopped as she turned to see the orb again and she saw nothing but a plain desk.

"To look on what, Jas?"

"T-the orb, with a metal skin and a gem on the center of it."

"What orb are you saying, Jas?" His forehead creased when he saw nothing.

"I swear I saw something. It was floating on the top of the desk." Gian just shook his head before reaching Jasmine's hand.

"I think you're just imagining, Jas. Come on, let's go back to studying." As they walk back to their table, Jasmine still can't take her eyes off the desk where the orb was floating earlier.

I know I saw something.

It's real.....it must be real.
