CHAPTER 5: JUST A FRIENDLY DATE

SAGE' POV

I'm walking on my way to the office today. I want to clear off my head before I go to the office so I decided to take a walk. Well running before going to the office was not a great idea but walking could be a good alternative. I was agitated this morning. Before I went to bed till I woke up this morning I can’t help but to think of Kyrstin.

I don't know what to act towards her. I don’t know if she could get the idea that I like girls. Damn I don't know what to do. I can feel she's straight as a pole. That kind of face she has and sweet personality. She could have a swarm of suitors. Or she could already have a boyfriend. How I wish she doesn’t have one. As if you have a chance Sage. She likes me, she said. Wait she just said she likes my name not me. Stop dreaming Sage in broad day light. I hate this battle inside my head. I stopped on my track when a car suddenly pulled at my left. “You really like burning your fats, don’t you? But you know what, I can't see any fat with that gorgeous body.” She winked making me blush this early in the morning. “You know Kyrstin Luz you should not make it a hobby.” I told her. “What hobby?” she asked curiously. “Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and complimenting me.” I blushed saying the last two words. She laughed at my comment. “Sorry Lil I can't help it.” Still laughing a little loudly. “Can’t help what? Laughing?” I said faking to be angry. “I can’t help saying what I see.” I never asked further. “We should get going, we could be late Kyrstin Luz.” I started walking. “Hop in Lilith.” She insisted. “Actually I want to walk today.” I nicely replied. “Wait for me a bit then.” she pulled off her car and parked on the side way and get out of her car, then ran towards me in record time. “Now you have a walking buddy.” She cheerfully said. “Honestly Kyrstin Luz, you did not park your car at the side way, did you?” I asked shock for what she did. “Lilith. I did.” She said grinning. “You should not have done that. You might get ticket for illegal parking!” I scolded her. “Well, if that happens Lil, it is your fault.” She said and started walking. I have no choice but to follow her. “You know what you can be stubborn.” I can't believe she just did that, left her car and chose to walk with me. “Nah, did you have your breakfast? I'm starving hope there's something to eat at the cafeteria. Wanna race?” she challenged. I laughed. “Maybe some other time Kyrstin Luz. We're heading to the office remember. We can always have a run together, only if you want to.” I offered. Really Sage, you want to go for a run with her? Wasn’t last time, if it is still clear in your mind that you want to run just so stop thinking about her? And now you will running with the one you’re thinking of. What a crazy lady. “I’d love to. I always have my jogging stuff on my car. It's been quite a long time since I had my run. I’d love that. Was it good this afternoon after office?” she asked excitedly. “Sure. That would be fine.” I told her. “Then that sets it. It’s a date. See you later, Lil.” She said plainly and goes inside first. What!? Date? I never meant that. Gosh, it’s crazy. She doesn’t mean it to be like that, does she? You know real date? I did not notice we’re already entering the office building. I never expected to be on a date later. My walking earlier did not come up as what I have planned. This girl was hard to get away with. She would just turn up the moment you started thinking about her. Is she stalking me? Wow Sage that not a very good accusation. She goes in the same office you go, probably takes same path as where you take yours. So it was just a coincidence, or maybe Fate. I'm being dramatic here. I must take this chance to get to know her. Well we use to work at one place right. I do need some companion to hang out with, don’t I? And well, she’s a great candidate. Too great for me actually, that it gives some mixed emotions inside my chest. Nervousness, confusion and joy. I don’t know what to feel. We’ll I should not lose my cool and act weird with here later. I should only think of it, only and nothing else but a friendly date. But still, dude, kill me now still it's going to be a one on one date. Hell ya, it’s gonna be interesting. Will it or will not? I should not over think.
