Wishes do come true (pt.2)

Cerulean Asha POV

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Azure whose eyes were closed giving me a chance to see his features.

His thick eyebrows which I find it attractive suits him well, partnered by his Greek nose and chiseled jawline.

I would bet all my stocked snacks inside the refrigerator, that lot of woman lined up just to have his attention.

He had this calm comforting face that makes me want to stare at him but wait. Why would I want to stare at him? Do I like him?

Is it possible to like someone at first sight, like the saying, love at first sight?

I only know his name not who he really is.

Oh well, Its’ not bad to like someone after all, it’s just an infatuation nothing more than that.

I suddenly closed my eye when I saw he was about to open his eyes and I quickly pretend that I am still asleep.

I felt his hands softly caressing my hair that it made me want to sleep, but before I could let the soothing feelings succumb me.

I heard him said “So wishes do come true huh?” and heard him chuckled softly.

The afternoon heat and the uncomfortable feeling of sleeping on the bamboo couch woke me up,

I massage my neck using my left hand while sitting up.

Tight grip on my right hand made me froze, I slowly looked at it and saw someone sitting on the floor.

His head were resting on his folded arms that are place on the free space of the couch where I slept, his face was facing me, giving me access to appreciate how God beautifully created his face.

Azure moved a little bit and massage his neck still eyes closed, maybe just like how I felt after sleeping on the couch, it was maybe uncomfortable too especially with the sleeping position he had.

I saw how his eyebrows met each other while he was still massaging his neck and sitting properly on the floor.

He let go of my hand, put both of his hands on his laps while facing where my television is, resting his back on the sofa and he still hasn't notice that I'm awake

He caught me staring at him when he looked at his back where I am sitting making me look away with red blushing cheeks.

“How shameful of you Asha” I murmured

“How’s your sleep?” I heard him asked.

I looked at him shyly and tried to answer as calm as possible

“I-It was uncomfortable and the afternoon heat is unbearable” I answered honestly but unfortunately I stuttered.

“I’m sorry I didn’t transfer you into somewhere more comfortable” he paused and cleared his throat

“I-I don’t know where your room is and I don’t want to further m-more roam around your house because" he paused again and scratch the side of head and look at me shyly

"I-I believe I’m still a stranger to you, who you happened found lying outside your home” he continued after scratching the side of his head and looked away

I appreciate his kindness and respect for me, he is indeed after all a stranger who I found lying outside my home.

And only his name is the only thing I knew about him, except that I saw him last week or did I?

Nonetheless, I am pretty sure he is the man I saw last night but I shouldn't just let my guard down.

I should send him way, that's the right thing to do.

I cleared my throat and composed myself before speaking up

“It’s okay, thank you for your kindness and being a gentleman, I appreciate it” I answered him with a smile.

“I remember you. You were here last night” I paused and pat the empty space beside me after sitting properly

“like you were saying your goodbye’s. And last week, just across the street with the blue potted tulips” I continued and pointed the tulips.

He then looked at the tulips at the center table, he stood up and sat beside but with an enough space for our arms not to touch.

He picked up the potted blue tulips, stared at it for a moment and then returned it to where it was.

He put his elbow on his knees and covered his face with his hands while sighing heavily.

Maybe he's thinking of something, I don't know, I'm not sure.

All I did was to watch his every move and maybe trying to read his actions.

After a few seconds he then frustratingly rubs his hands on his face, sighed problematically, and then looked at me with strange emotions on his eyes.

“It was true I was across the street but it happened a few days ago and not a week” He said making me furrowed my forehead in confusion

“What do you mean? It was a week ago and you were here last night too” I replied in confusion.

After a few seconds, I saw his face cleared like he had solved a problem

"Maybe because of the blue butterflies and the magic they had" said and snap his fingers excitedly and turned his body to where I am.

I gasped exaggeratedly and just like what he did, I turned my body and now we are fully facing each other.

I held both his hands and raised them just right to the level of chest. I looked at him like he was some kind of a genius.

Then suddenly my face went blank, showing him that he had a very ridiculous idea and that he eaten too much air that it went inside his head

I sarcastically throw his hands in front of him and folded my hands to my chest with one eyebrow raised at him.

"What do you take me for? A kid?" I asked, unbelieving to what he just said.

I saw how his face fell into disappointment and I kind a felt guilty of it.

Should I just believe him because he had nuts inside his head and it's my way of little help for him?

You can't just judge me, if you are in my position, I am pretty sure you wouldn't also believe him.

"Yeah yeah, you're right. You think I'm going crazy" he said and laughed with no humor in it.

"Yes I am and I'm sorry I can't believe you" I replied with an apologetic tone and unfolded my hands

"It's okay, just like you said, you only saw me last week across the street" He replied and motion his hands outside my window where the street can be seen

"And you said also I was here last night saying my goodbye" He continued and emphasized the word 'goodbye' by making the quotation mark in chest level

"which I am certain I was outside my balcony sulking with all that happened to me and still mourning for your ---"

he continued again but couldn't finished his sentence because the surrounding become mute and he wasn't moving at all

I roam my eyes around the surroundings and saw the wall clock above the television not moving at all.

I stared at it for a a minute if it would move but it didn't, it remains at 7:30.

I listen to any sound I could get outside my house or even inside my house but even the tick tock of the clock wouldn't give me anything.

Then I saw a blue butterfly flying above Azure's head in circles.

It has blue sparkling lights following it wherever it was flying and right then at this moment, I am starting to believe Azure but only a little.

Remembering what he said a minute ago, so he was not here last night but he admit it was him I saw last week.

What does this mean? I'm confused. So which one is true? Wait, they may be the same but at different time.

I nodded agreeing to what I concluded while my right arm was under chin and my left arm was supporting my right arm under it

I was in deep thinking when Azure were snapping his fingers in front of me.

I looked at him in furrowed and felt that everything went back to normal.

To confirm it, I roam my eyes again and looked at the wall clock, it was now at 7:31.

I can now hear the tick tock of the clock, the chirping of the birds and cuckoo of the male chickens

"Are you okay?" I heard Azure asked and I looked at him with eyes believing him

He looked confused by the way I looked at him and silence fell on us

"I believe you now" I said after a minute of silence while staring at him and I stood up to make breakfast because the thinking made me hungry

"W-what did you say?" Azure asked and I opened the refrigerator while scanning what would be the delicious meal I'll be cooking

"I said, I believe you now" I repeated again and I looked at him after deciding that I'll cook stir fry eggs and tomatoes

I saw him stilled and after a minute he smiled widely and let out a breath of relief and I just shrugged at it.

Well, if I want to know what would be the answer to all my questions then he should be by my side right?
