The truth is

Finally, It was Saturday I've been working the entire week and it was getting boring. If you're thinking about that moment in every romantic drama where after a kiss everything just magically falls into place. Well,hateto burst your bubble but that isn't the case cause after that night Raphael never mentioned anything the day after or the day after that. Everything was just business as usual and I actually haven't spoken to him in a while though. I thought about my life in the past few days over breakfast cereal ohh! Sweet,sweet breakfast cereal. "Morning dear!" Dad said opening the kitchen door.

"Morning dad!" I replied as he kissed my head. He got some cereal too and poured milk into the cereal and sat next to me at the kitchen counter. Us and cereal,the thought of it just made me laugh guess its a family tradition. "What is it?" He asked me, "Nothing! I just thought" I said "About what?" He asked smiling, "Why do we love cereal so much? I mean its literally all we ever eat in the morning" I said and he chuckled. "You know your mother and I met at a diner" He told me, "No way!" I said, "Mmh-hmm" He nodded. "She was sitting at a table all alone and I was wondering should I go to speak to her or maybe she'll just call me a weirdo and leave" He told me "What? Dad no" I said looking at my dad. He was a tall figure with messy black hair,brown eyes,his skin was somewhere in between pale and dark. His voice would get deep and scary sometimes but then calm and soft like the times he used to read me stories before bed,how could anyone find that weird. "So I walked up to her and I said to her, 'Hi, I was over there thinking whether I should talk to you or not but then I thought why would such a beautiful woman like you ever wanna talk to a guy like me' " He told me.

"What?!" I said in awe while chuckling, "You know what she said?" He asked, "What?" I asked. "Why not?" He said and I marvelled "Wow!" I said, "Right!" He said "Your mother was a really good person. I mean from the first time I saw her I knew that I wanted to start a family with her" He said, "That's so beautiful" I said then he looked curious all of a sudden. "What?" I asked, "What about you?" He asked me, "What about me what?" I asked, "Haven't found that special someone yet" He said. "No,not really. But just in case how do you know if you've found that one person you wanna spend your life with?" I asked.

"When the time comes you'll just know" He told me "Just look for that one person you can't spend a day without" He said then I zoned out for a minute. "Sweetheart, I gotta go" He said, "What? Where?" I asked, "You have work today?" I asked him, "No, I just gotta run some errands. I'll be back soon" He said and he kissed me goodbye and left. After breakfast I had nothing else to do so I went up to my room and threw myself in bed staring at the ceiling. Suddenly my phone rang and I checked to see who it was,its Sally then I picked up "Hello!" I said "Heeey, Lee" She said "Sally is there a problem? Why'd you call?" I asked "No. Not really. Me and the guys were having this small get together you know saturday evening so we thought maybe you could come" She said "Uhm--I don't know" I said "Come on, It'll be fun" She said "Where's this get together?"I asked "I'll text you the address" She said "Okay" I said "Great see you then" She said and hung up.

I sighed and put my phone away and I decided to go take a strawl at the beach. I walked for sometime and saw different people, A family of mother,father and daughter,others were just teenagaers fooling around. I passed a certain pair who I just thought were a couple,they were standing near the water holding hands. The girl was crying and I thought maybe she was sad so I walked closer and slower to eavesdrop then I smiled to how crafty I was being. "Thank you. This is the best gift anyone could ever give to me" She said sniffing "How did you know I'd like it here?" She asked him and he smiled at her "Because I love you" He replied and hugged her then she wrapped her hands around him "Nothing's ever complete till you're here" She said then I walked away.

That was such a sweet couple I wonder how long they've been at it. When I went back home it was already past noon, I opened the front door and walked inside "AAAAH!" I screamed then I put my hand on my mouth. "Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed breathing out fast "You look shocked" Raphael said pointing out the obvious while chuckling. "How the hell did you get in here?" I asked anger boiling inside me "Magic" He said smirking. "I swear I'll wipe that creepy ass smirk right off your face" I said stern and he burst into laughter that echoed all over the house. I shut the door and walked to where he's sitting "You're such a stalker. What are you even doing here and how on earth did you get inside?" I asked him irritated.

"For one, Am not a stalker and two through the door cause you didn't lock it" He said raising both his brows laying his back on the couch. I furrowed my eyebrows at him then sighed and thought I should've remembered to lock the damn door or else weirdos like him are gon' be showin' up at my house. "Just have a seat. Relax" He said "I don't wanna have a seat! I wanna know why you're here" I said, "What are you so worked up about? I just came to see you thats all. Is there anything wrong with that?" He asked, "Yes there is" I replied "Oh and what might that be mhh!" He said, "Because after that night you never said anything and we haven't talked since and you just show up at my house for no reason"I snapped and turn my gaze in a different direction.

He sighed "What did you want me to say?" He asked, "Just forget I ever said anything. The door's not locked now too so you can show yourself out" I said and ran upstairs. "Lee!" He called "Get the fuck outta my house Raph" I said not turning back. I entered my room and slammed the door shut and tossed myself in bed face down then the door opened "Lee" He called, man I should really stop leaving the doors unlocked. "Go away!" I yelled "No!" He said then I sat up and frowned "What the fuck do you want from me Raph?" I asked him almost crying and I quote "almost crying". "Lee I just wanted to see you" He said then he squatted in front of me and held my hands "I don't know what that was all about down there but in years out of everyone I ever worked with you were the one that I felt I could really talk to" He told me looking up at me with his brown eyes. Ohh! Gosh, you could totally swim in those things.

I didn't know what to say he was a creep but he was nice and I acted like a total jerk earlier. "I thought you knew that" He said then he stood up and walked out of the room. Now y'all probably expected me to go run after him just like in any romantic drama but this wasn't your typical movie and definitely not your typical girl. I felt a big lump of guilt and pain on my throat and I wanted to chase after him and hug him and apologize for being a jerk but instead I went and peered through the window and watched him pull out the driveway.
