Chapter 6

"Ah, just busy. Sorry." I made up excuses but that true though.

"Really? With that Luke guy?"

"Huh!?" Oh, I remember. Luke answered his call maybe it's a misunderstanding "He's a friend of mine. That time when you called me, I was washing the dishes so I asked him to answer the phone. I thought it was Auntie. Don't get a wrong idea, we're having a bonding, the three of us." I explained my self.

"Okay." After I explained that's all he would say? Well, I don't even know why I'm explaining!

"Are you waiting for my text? Why? You like me already?" I smirked.

"Lol, wtf."

"You didn't say 'no'. You like me?" I smirked more, teasing him.

"Let's go." And he started to walk.

"I have a crush on you and it's your fault!" I laughed when he's still ignoring me and just keeps walking.

I didn't stop teasing him, it's fun so.

"It's okay! I know I'm beautiful, so it's normal to like me."

"Hey!"

"There's many guys who like me, you know? You're lucky because you're the one I like. If you don't like me back, it's okay. There are many more!" I laughed and he stopped walking and looked at me.

"Don't play with me." he said seriously.

"Stop confusing me." and after that he left me.

Stop confusing me, he said. Well, I'm the one who's confused. 'I don't get it,' he said tangina, bes.

I just followed him and looked for my two friends. Where is that?

"Nyx!" I turned to the person who called me, Vaughn did the same thing and looked at the direction where I'm looking at.

It's Luke and Ash. They ran to my direction.

"Hey. Where did you guys go?" I asked.

They didn't answer me so I snorted. They want to ride the ferris wheel for our last ride and after they say we will watch fireworks, I just nodded and they book a ticket for the ride. Vaughn won't be joining us. While we were inside the ferris wheel, the two of them were still arguing, weren't they tired? I took my phone and took a selfie. I also took pictures of the two, stolen. And we took a group selfie, too. After the ride, we went to where the fireworks show was supposed to be held. Vaughn is already there, Bella is at his side and across from Bella is Ate Val. There were three empty seats next to Vaughn so we sat there, I'm at his side.

I greeted Val and Bella. It's 6pm so the show starts. There are many people and the surroundings are also noisy. When the fireworks started, I took out my phone to take a photo, it's a nice memory. I smiled, admiring the view. I look at Vaughn and he's staring at me.

"Why!?" I asked. I still need to shout because he might not hear me, because it's loud. He said something but I didn't hear it.

"What!?" I asked again.

He didn't answer me and held my hand. I blushed so I looked away. My heart is pounding so much that it seems like it will explode anytime.

After the show he's still holding my hands! I just ignored it and we walked away. When I was in front of my car, he let go of my hand. The place is quiet so it's my chance to ask what he said earlier.

"What did you say earlier?" I asked.

He looked at me, confused "You didn't hear it?"

He looked so shocked. I shook my head to answer his question.

"What is it?" I asked again.

He cleared his throat and looked at me with his serious face.

"I like you."

My lips formed an 'o' and my heart is racing. My face heated up so I looked away, damn this. This isn't my first time to have someone to confess with me, but this one's different.

After a long silence I spoke. "Since when?" I asked him.

"I don't know. Maybe when we started hanging out and I realized it when you didn't text me for days."

While he was saying that, he was looking right into my eyes. He's sincere.

"What.. do you like about me?"

He cupped my face, "I like you. You're fun to be around, you're funny, you're smart, your perfect in an imperfect way. You have the best laugh, you always speak your mind. I like you because you're you."

I look at him with teary eyes, my heart is pounding so fast.

"I still remember the way I smiled on my way home after we met for the first time." I smiled and hugged him.

On my way home, I'm smiling like an idiot. My crush likes me and I don't know if I like him, too. I'll just ask Ash about this. I stopped at a drive thru and bought dinner for me and for Auntie.

"Auntie, I'm here." After I said to enter the condo.

She is in the living room watching some Netflix.

"What took you so long?" She asked and turned off the TV.

I didn't answer her and went into my room to change my clothes into pajamas. After I got dressed, I went out to eat dinner with her. It's just a normal dinner for us. No talking because aunt doesn't like talking while eating. He said she was going to wash the plates so I just went into my room and applied my skin routine.

I uploaded the photo I took earlier. I took a photo and posted it in my Instagram story. I received a message coming from Vaughn so I opened it immediately.

VLeo: Are you home?

AmberNyx: Yes, wbu?

VLeo: I just got home. Did you eat dinner?

AmberNyx: Yesss! Eat your dinner now.

VLeo: Okay, I'll be right back.

I didn't reply him so he can eat his dinner. I was going to ask him if we're together but I didn't send it, he just said he likes me and he didn't say we're in a relationship. I took off my face mask and was about to go to sleep when I received a text message . I thought it was Vaughn so I opened it with a smile on my face but my smile faded when I saw that the text was not from Vaughn.

Amy: You should come here tomorrow, 8am.

I read it twice and didn't reply her. Why would they invite me to come over to their house?

I sighed. I can't go to church tomorrow, I need to go to their house.

I'm nervous for tomorrow so I set an alarm because Dad doesn't want to be late.

I just went to sleep and will take care of what will happens tomorrow.
