Kiss me

"NO! I don't know the way to the subway! I only know how to take buses!" I exclaimed through the phone.

I'm going insane. I don't have the faintest idea how to go home at this time. I am the only one here in the waiting shed. I really look like an idiot right now, there are no cabs or buses which I don't know if some are still providing late night service on specific routes such as near our neighborhood in Seattle. Most are private vehicles passing by and I cannot just block their way to ask them to bring me home.

"You're being absurd. You're a lost cause, why don't you ask strangers how to get to the subway? Don't you have a phone? Why don't you search it up? You're being so difficult. Learn to be independent, Iris. Don't call your friends to save your ass right there. I'm hanging up."

And without any hesitations, the line went dead after everything that Ivan said that clearly cannot be helped. I did what he suggested and searched it on the maps, but I also have a bad sense

    RumorIT'S BEEN DAYS since I started doing my list. I tried to keep it cool and finally I mastered commuting through buses, cabs, and the subway. Though it gives me a headache sometimes, it's pretty manageable unlike the first time. I never got to meet Leon again after what happened in the subway. He's not going in the café as well which I don't think is a good idea now because I am starting to make a move about the last one on my list. I wanna take revenge on him, he's not playing it fair that's why I resumed flirting with Lea. I was really expecting that he would kiss me that night, he never asked about it, so I thought he was cool. Plus, it doesn't mean anything, it's just a kiss, a condition that he has to make if he wants me to stay away from his sister. But what did he do? He just ruined everything, even my dignity has already crumbled. Because of what happened, I told Ivan about it and all I got from him was nothing, but his typical challenging words."What are you trying to

    Friends?"DAD'S COMING home." I froze at the sound of Ivan's voice. I am currently at the personnel room in the cafe because as usual, I need to do my job. I was already here after my class ended at an earlier time, at half past three. I was like meditating, staring at the ceiling for some reason and I am not in my true self after my conversation with Lea. However, my mind became alive just by hearing the word 'Dad'. I turned to see Ivan who was leaning at the door while his hands were crossed over his chest, a cunning look came into his eyes. "Quite fast. It has only been a week since he left for Europe, right?" His right eyebrow rose. "Why do you act like you don't want Dad to go home?" The room was filled with my nervous laughter. "Of course not, I-I was just wondering why he was coming home immediately. Chill, dude. You always think the worst of me." I shook my head. "Well. . . yeah, it was sudden. There has been an urgent conference in Seattle tomorrow, so he needs to go ho

    What?I ALREADY lost count how many times I have peeked at them. . . or shall I specifically say, gave Leon a death glare. I can't believe he acted all kind in front of his sister who has no idea about what is really happening between us. I mean— there is nothing going on around us besides hating each other. And I actually wanted to kick him out of this café from the way he's looking back at me, with that malicious smirk, and irritating eyes. So, big of him!I couldn't take it anymore. My jaw tightened as my open hand turned into a fist, it's trembling, desperately wanting to punch the of a beautiful face they were saying. What is he planning to do right now? Of course, I would never agree to be friends with him, it was all a pretentious act as well, but Lea did believe all of it! This is not going to be successful, it's getting twisted. ."Did you know that you're not a lookout or watchtower?"I resisted the urge to snort when I heard Ivan's voice behind me. Does he always have a ha

    BasketballI THOUGHT it was a perfect day, but it was confusing as fuck! Does that mean the rumors were true? That he's also being liked and followed by boys, not just girls? And the most preposterous part was he hooks up with them too.Damn. This is getting me in a nutshell. Knowing that he works for Manavision and he's the owner of the black sports car already triggered the hell out of me, and what more to these? I saw everything with my own two eyes. Call me judgmental or what, but it made me jump into conclusion that he's a playboy, maybe even worse than me. I still couldn't believe it. I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight because it's quite giving me a feeling of anger for some reason. I can't understand why he could easily kiss a man, but not me? That's just not fair! I won't ask anything from him if it isn't necessary. Screw him! "So, aside from ditching the dinner, not responding to my calls, and now, fazed and dazed, what else are you up to?

    Blueprint"I'M DONE!"The corners of my lips rose as I surveyed my finished plate. It turned out pretty well, huh? Dad absolutely knows everything he does and if he happened to see this, he's going to be proud of me once more. I glanced down at Ricky and Johnny's doing. My mouth turned into an amused smirk, seeing that they were pretty worn out now. Whereas earlier, they had almost nothing to do in front of their desks other than making a noise and talking about the club they were planning to go to later. Ricky's head is pushed down to the table while his hand is holding a pencil. On the other hand, Johnny is still making a fuss ever since he saw that I was near the end line. Johnny snorted. "Dude, you're no fair. This is the very first time you finished before us. No sweats and I am fucking tired." I laughed. "You're at fault. If you only take your studies seriously, you might not be cramming over a plate, unfortunately, from Mr. Wilson." I shrugged, well I am not being too arroga

    ConcernI SMILED to Mr. Wilson as I turned over my design to him. Can you believe it, I am still here on earth today and it's already Friday. "Sure, you did this?" Mr. Wilson curled an eyebrow while looking at my plate suspiciously. "Yes, of course, Sir," I politely answered. It's the first time that I alloted a lot of time and effort for a project. Maybe that's the reason he's doubting me? I know my design is too good to be true, but fuck I made that for days and with those sleepless nights, I really struggled to be alive. His cold eyes darted at my left hand covered with bandages. I surreptitiously hid my hands behind me. He then nodded and that's my cue to go back to my seat. I heaved a deep and long sigh before I rested my head onto the desk table. I survived this project and the other activities we needed to accomplish this week. Everything is going well regarding my studies, but I am not quite sure if I still go well with Leon after what happened yesterday. The feeling is h

    Friendly Kiss"IT'S GETTING BETTER."I immediately snatched my hand back from him and hid it behind me as if I was scorched from it. Our skin did not directly touch because of the bandage, but I felt a wild electricity flowing through my veins to my neck that it almost broke which sent shivers down my spine. "So, why are you looking for me?" My eyeballs dilated as my lips slightly parted. How did he know about that? "I-I wasn't looking for you. I was-- I just got out from work!" I spat.I gulped when he just raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. Did I sound too defensive? I cleared my throat and fixed my collar. I stood straight and stepped back a few inches from him. He's too close, it's making my chest feel like it's being pushed side by side, so tight. "Okay. Since you're already here. Let me get this straight, I wanna say sorry to you personally about the last time. And about your blueprint, I hope you'll forgive me. Also, thank you for this bandage. I appreciate

    IgnoredI SIGHED as I looked at myself in front of the mirror. I just got out of the shower and was still naked. I placed both of my hands on the sink, putting all my weight there. My eyes are a little puffy since I worked myself up on the weekends for my other projects and designs, and fortunately not for Mr. Wilson.I stormed out of the bathroom and started to dry my hair using a towel. It's already Monday and I do not have any energy to go to school. I am feeling sick, it sucks. I will never be able to have a better sleep, unless two months of curse ends. I still have about less than two weeks and one month to complete my lists.I glanced at the paper pinned on the wall. The list of mine isn't that obviously half-heartedly written when Ivan demanded me to move it to a piece of paper. None of the boxes were already checked since I would only see the results after two months if I succeeded or not. It's kind of motivating me in two ways; I will be a man of my words and continue doing

    Accidental Violation "Oh my goodness! Iris! What happened to your face?!" Is it a crime to say that I am--well. . . a little dismayed with her sudden appearance? I thought she's sleeping over her friend? Why is she suddenly here? Damn! I repeatedly cursed in my head, not just because she's in front of me, horribly worried and checking my face, but also, it slowly came up to me that me and Leon almost kissed each other. "I-it's nothing." "What nothing?!" She cupped my face and I surreptitiously looked over Leon whose expression is obviously blank. I swallowed, finding it hard to speak. I faked a cough. "I'm alright. Leon already treated me. I'll go now. Thanks, pal." I smiled a bit at Leon. His eyes were already fixed on me when I stood up. I wanna run away right now, someone help me, please. "Why don't you stay the night? It's late." Leon darted his attention on me, cutting me off from walking away. I don't wanna stay the night with them. And one more thing, I still ha

    InterruptedI RESTED my head on the front seat of his car. I was just silent the whole time, looking out the window and realizing that I just got beaten up by two unknown men without any obvious reasons why. I do not have enemies and I don't indulge myself in any trouble such as that.Nevertheless, I am still holding my breath because I couldn't believe that I'm with Leon right now, inside his sports car that is always parked beside mine. I could see on my peripheral that he's glancing at me every now and then. His car smells just like him and I couldn't think straight. He even lent me his sweater because I was really trembling hard earlier. And right now, I am just feeling uneasy by his presence. "You fine?" he asked softly. I bit my lower lip. His voice gives me gooseflesh, making me quivered. I didn't give him an answer, rather I pretended that I didn't hear him. I don't wanna look at him. I might lose control. But I can't deny that still in fact, I miss his face and I was just

    Beaten "Just make sure to work on your case studies of the building system and I already made it by group, so it wouldn't be so complicated and heavy at your end. Is that clear?" 'Bla bla bla'. I don't even understand what my professor was saying. It's been a hella hectic week for me as an employee and an architecture student at the same time. I don't even know what sleep is. It's so terrible, my head fucking hurts. It's been two weeks since the intramurals have ended and eventually we are back to normal. The promised trip to Hawaii thing is still on the plan and I don't have an idea when it will be. Midterm exams were also done and I just thanked God, I was exempted because if not, I am certainly going to fail. I have been pulling an all-nighter in the studio since our professors were giving us such a hard time in our projects that deadlines are close to each other. And now, a group case study for fuck's sake, I am tired.My life cycle is just work, school, studio, and sometimes

    CryI DON'T KNOW what crossed into Leon's mind that he wanted to host our victory party. I know almost everyone from Carlyle university knows him for his looks and he's kinda friendly with them too, but he isn't the type of person who would invite random people to go to their house. Not only that, their wealthy neighborhood is private and strict, not a perfect place for partying, so how come it's going to be at his place? And why do I even care though? It's not like I would come, I still need to work."You are just perfectly on time. You're excused today, you can take this as your day off. You can go with your friends as long as you don't drink alcohol. Remember, I'm watching you," Ivan welcomed me with those confusing words the moment I came inside the cafe. My brows creased, completely dazed. "What are you saying?" "You won against us, so this is how I wanna congratulate you. Besides, I heard you have a victory party at Leon's place, you must come, MVP." He playfully smirked at m

    Victory Party"WHERE were you? I thought you had left me."Oh, shit. I thought I had a heart attack when she popped out in front of me. I held my chest and let out a deep breath. I totally forgot that she was here with me."Of course not," I said while looking around, still bothered by the fact that her brother is here. "I already found the books--" "I think we should go."I immediately cut her off when I saw Leon. He is looking down on the books he's holding but he is walking towards our way. I grabbed Lea's hand without hesitation and dragged her outside. It will cause a commotion if he sees us together. I don't wanna fight him, I mean-- not in the library. I am still curious though, about that 'someone'. And the author of the book he borrowed sounds familiar. It came from the fiction section, so it must be something too. . ."Iris! What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hustle? You didn't even borrow anything." "Ivan texted me, he changed his mind." I let go of her hand a

    ConfusingUP UNTIL NOW, I still cannot get over it. It's been days since we bumped into each other, but his words that night were still fresh and vivid in my mind. It still fucking gives me wild tremors everytime I remember how he whispered those inconceivable words to me. I admit I was avoiding him after that incident although it shouldn't end like this. I was supposed to lead the 'game' I started, but I could not even stand eye contact with him. I guess things have become awkward as hell. Still, I don't get the whole point of what he said about forgetting everything. I don't wanna ask and I don't wanna talk to him either. For the past few days, we had practice, training, and scrimmage, but we barely talk to each other if it is not that important and if it's not about the game, I would not even look at him.Fortunately, our department will be entering the finals tomorrow and we are just waiting for the victor of game four to know who will be our opponent. Personally, I want the E

    Jealous"Oh man, this is good shit! I never knew you make an excellent cup of coffee!" our coach laughed hysterically and exaggeratingly. I forced a smile. Apparently, our coach liked the coffee I made for him and my team mates, except for Leon and Blake. I just asked Leonardo to make their coffee instead of me since I don't want to mess up like before. "Sure, you made this?" Lucas, my other team mate, teased me. "We make the best coffee in town," I bragged. "Whoa, you improved a lot, Iris. This is a lot better than you know. . . the last time," Blake commented at the side.I snorted in my mind. Of course, I wasn't the one who made their coffee, but to cover it up, I smirked at him and he winked at me in response that almost made me choke. He acts like we're close now, huh? Accidentally, my eyes darted at Leon who's still not touching his cup of coffee, rather he was just staring at it and not moving at all. What is he thinking though? I'm a little bit curious. Yeah, just a litt

    FlirtingI TOOK A DEEP BREATH, drenching in sweats, tired from the training, and scrimmage. And even now, I still couldn't believe what happened earlier. I tried to act like I wasn't disappointed, furious, and annoyed, but truly at the top of my head, I am damn mad and frustrated! It was a fucking draw! No one won between the two of us! And what's even making me angry is that's how he likes it! It was intentional to miss the score and I couldn't even make a fuss at him because our team mates arrived, even Blake, who went straight to him. "Good game, everyone! It was nice seeing all of you to have been honing your skills, especially you, Iris. You're a wild wolf!" The gym was covered by his laughter. But I don't need a special mention right now! I need a rematch from Leon! He's so unfair and I fucking knew it already. I'm so dumb! All of their attention shifted on me. I forced myself to curve my lips into a wide smile.

    Pass Or Play?"HOW have you been? You looked like you were hit by an unpredictable thunderstorm. What's up with you?""Your face says 'bullshit' bro."I showed Ricky and Johnny my middle finger and said nothing. I am not in the mood to either speak or move, I just want to sleep. I am so tired physically and mentally. It seems like my body is surrendering on its own, not listening to my brain. And I am not the reason why I am like this. These were all Leon's fault. He didn't let me sleep properly last night because of so many crumbling and crashing thoughts that I stayed up until five in the morning. Although I was confident that I'm still going to do anything according to my plan, his words still fumbled in my mind which made it stop working today. "Seriously, dude. You need to refresh yourself with some positive thoughts. The intramurals are coming, you don't wanna mess up," Johnny said in concern. "Exactly. I am having second thoughts if I still wanna join the team." "The fuck,
