First of Jesse XI
I woke up at 11 in the morning.
It was still early so to kill time I think I can make the plot for my next book now. I don't have any idea what to write but I want to have a different genre. Maybe I can write a Boy's love story, but I don't know what kind of love story is happening between two males. I go to my living room and grab my pen and paper.
Wait! What the heck is happening in my head? Why do I want to write a Boys love story? Could it be that I am --- again?
"Shit no way!" I yelled while pulling my hair until I felt pain.
Shit. I can't have those feelings right now. Now that—
RIIIIIING—
"Hello?" I answered the call. It was an unregistered number, who can it be?
"Hello, Jess?" Him?
"Hey, Matthew? Did you change your number?" I asked him because it is weird that he is calling me using another number.
"No. This is Zeus's phone because I borrowed it from him just to call you" he explained.
"What happened to your phone, did you lose it?" I asked him. Poor Matthew if he really lost it. There are so many stolen pictures of that person on his phone.
"Uh, no... I forgot my cellphone in my apartment." Wait... what forgot? Matthew will forget that important thing? I can sense a lie here.
"Oh, really?" I asked him. I tried my best to sound like I was suspecting something. Kinda work out.
"Okay. Sorry. You really know me. Yeah, I didn't forget my phone. I just didn't bring it with me" He finally admitted
"And that is why?" I asked. Just want him to spill all the juice he has.
"Before I say it, I want to tell you something." He said sounding so suspicious.
"hmm?" I hummed
"I can't go to your apartment for the next 2 days because we are in a different city," he said.
"That's it?" I asked. I am impatient about the other topic.
"Well, the reason why I didn't bring my phone with me is that my parents are keeping on bugging me to a blind date." He said.
Oh, that explains. I get him now.
"Are you and Mr. Sebastian are a thing now?" I asked.
"Not yet but..." he stop midsentence and I heard a series of shouting in the background
"What was that?" I asked him.
"The director and other staff are calling all the actors and actresses. I call you again next time, bye" he said and he hangs up the call not waiting for my reply.
That guy really...
I look up at the wall clock and I saw it is already past 12. I'm hungry. What will I cook for lunch? Wait I forgot to plan my book but
I am already hungry.
I was debating to myself whether I'll stand up to cook or eat outside or do my work first. I am thinking about what to do for a minute now.
What to do...
What to do...
"Oh yeah, I can think of it while eating" I stand up in my seat and I grab my wallet in my room then go out to eat outside. I wish that I will not bump into someone again.
I enter a restaurant near my apartment. It is not a fancy one but I bet the food here is expensive. Since I was too lazy to cook my own food well maybe I can spend a little amount of money now.
I search for an empty seat. I saw one then I went there then I sat near the glass wall.
The waiter approached me and gave me the menu. I opened it and I was right, the food here is a little expensive. I ordered three kinds of food and the waiter left.
I waited for a while and then I saw a guy in the hood walking toward my seat. Wait? What is he will gonna do? I scan the whole place. It is not too crowded but it seems that there is no vacant seat because they don't have that many tables here.
"Excuse me, sir, can I sit here?" This boy politely said. Since he asked politely, why not?
"Sure, guess they have no vacant seat this time," I said. He sat across me and then my order came.
The waiter put my food on the table and he asked the guy and he ordered his own food. I didn't eat my food.
"Why aren't you eating yours?" he asked me.
"I'll wait for you, let's eat together" I smile at him then he returns the smile. He's cute.
"Oh, can I know your name?" I asked. I just wanna know because he was polite.
"I'm Ashton. Ashton Esteves" Esteves? Sounds familiar.
"Esteves? Did we already meet before?" I asked him.
"No?" He answered me.
"Okay? By the way, my name is Jesse Peters" I said.
He was surprised when I told him my name. What? Did he perhaps know me or heard my name before? I was about to ask him when his orders came.
We eat together and no one is speaking. It was obvious that he feels uneasy.
"Hey, is there bothering you?" I asked him.
"Sorry. It's nothing, please don't mind me." He said.
He finishes his food and pays the bill then bid me goodbye to me. Strange.
I finally had done eating. I pay my bill and left the restaurant. I was walking alone on a busy street. I can see couples walking hand in hand. I am wondering why are they happy just holding the hands of someone. I stare into my own hands and I imagine I am holding someone's hand.
I saw Oliver's image in my mind.
No way! I blush hard thinking of holding his hand. I know it can't happen in real life but at least I can talk to him.
I stop walking and I turn my sight to the right.
"Jewelry shop?" I mutter
Maybe I can buy Oliver something again.
No.
I already bought him a ring. What kind of gift will I buy for him! I look to my left side then I saw a bakery on the other side of the road.
I think I can maybe give him a cake even if it is not made by me. Wait why do I have to give a gift? There is no special occasion, so why? Uh? Yeah, to thank him.
Anyway, I decided to go to that bakery. I enter the shop and someone appears in front of me that made me a shock.
"The heck?" I asked him.
"Welcome mister to the Sweet Vee bakery shop!" this person said. I was still looking at him,
"We just open our shop last week so we are offering to our customers to use our kitchen and make their own version of cake!" he said in an excited tone.
"But I can't bake," I said.
"That's not a problem! We can teach you how to!" he said.
They can teach me? I think for a while and I think that this is perfect timing. It is a cake that I can give to him that I made by myself plus I will learn how to do it!
"Okay!"
And the baking time starts
Hmmmmm. Now?
