------------------------------------------------------------

When we got home from Gerry's Grill for a dinner, We went to our own rooms to change our clothes. I wear an oversized gray shirt and pj's. I told Andrew to come here in my room when he's done. I prepared tropical fruits, tacos and hot choco in my room. Five minutes after I finish pampering myself I heard his knocks.

"Come in!" when he enters my room, my jaw drops.

"Hot" I utters

"What?"

"Ahh.. H-Hot chocolate" I giggle. He has perfect built and I'm drooling secretly on my mind.

*oh no! bad Em! bad bad bad!"

No, I mean geezzz My fan girling thing remains. He's just wearing gray trousers and fitted black sleeveless top.

"Your shirt. Is that yours? looks huge"

"Yup, It's comfy. By the way, I want to talk to you" I stood up and when to my closet. There's a huge drawer and when I opened it, there's a lot of memories flashes back on my mind. I seizes the green scrapbook and went back to my bed.

"Come here! sit. I want to tell you a story. Are you willing to listen?" I can't even concentrate whenever I focus my eyes on him.

"Yes, I am"

I open the first page, several pictures of Andrew during grade school posted there. Some of them captured by Betty.

"Hey, That was five years ago. Look at my hair!" He laughs.

"I'm a big fan oh Harry until you came and I couldn't stop thinking of you everyday, everynight. I thought it was just an infatuation until years passes by and I still like you this much. I cried a river when I learned that you and Cristina were exclusively dating. I bought art materials and throwed my sadness to all my artworks"

"Emily.."

"I thought I could forget you easily but I was wrong. I still wanted to see you everyday. I accepted the fact that you'll never notice me. Perhaps, it's also the biggest mistake I've ever made, hiding while loving. I lived secretly loving you and when I learned that Cristina and you broke up, I run to your class and you weren't there. That time, I could feel how much it hurts you and I also realized that you really loved her. Remember the first time we talk to each other?"

"At Barbara's? oh, no.. at Le bonn's right? yes I remember that"

"My world stops and I just felt I need to confess my feelings for you or else I'll regret it for the rest of my life". I smile while I utters every word.

"You're wrong"

"Huh?" what does he mean? I'm wrong? on what?

"You thought I never notice you, But I did. When I saw you on Sterling st. I knew you're following me. I went at the memorial park to visit my grandma and went back to street where I saw you and Cyndie but you weren't there anymore. I stroll the street until I saw Cyndie at Le bonn's sitting near the window and so I assumed you were there. I went inside and when I finally saw you, I pretend I didn't. I really don't know what I felt that time but I really wanted to talk to you that's why I decided to share table with you"

"You.. wanted to.. Talk to me?". I.. d-dont know what I'm going to say. I'm so speechless

"After my suffering from pain because of Cris, I was afraid to fall in love again. And then there you are, you confessed your feelings for me and I was dumb and such a coward to dumped you. I'm really sorry for that Emily. I.. I just didn't think about my decisions"

I felt my tears on my face and Andy wipe it away.

"Andy.. you don't need to say sorry. I understand and besides I was given a chance to know you better by being your friend" he kissed me.

"I love you Emie. Now, tell me more"

"I just have few questions"

"When did you realized that you also like me?" I want to know, I really really want to know.

"When I asked you to be my friend" to be his friend? meaning..

"That time when I confessed?" Oh my gal!

That time? Seriously?

"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you what I really feels"

Before I made my plans? before I set my mission to make him fall inlove with me, he already did? oh my gosh Andy. I grabbed the hot choco on my side table and sipped it immediately. I lie on the bed for awhile to strech my back. Andrew did the same thing.

I extend my hands at the top of my head to strech them as well. Andy tickles my tummy and I almost fell off the bed giggling.

"Don't do that! I'll die. I swear"

I thought he'll stop but he captured me to tickle my tummy again. I can't stop giggling and I can't even breathe.

"Andy, please stop!" I yell while laughing.

He's too strong and I can't escape from his arms. When he stops, I'm panting.

"You're so cute Emily"

Please don't do that again Andy, I'm gonna die.

I lie on my bed again and my eyes became heavy as I close them.

"You're going to sleep?" he inquires. I didn't respond, I still keep on panting. He put the food on my mini fridge and covered me with my comforter.

"Good night Em"

He turn off the lights.

When he about to leave, I pulled his hand.

"Stay here"

"You need to sleep now, I'm going back to my room"

"Sleep here". I want him to be on my side while I'm sleeping.

He pulled the comforter and lies on my side. I hugged him very tight. This is really comfortable, I could hear his heartbeat and it's quite fast. Why?

But still it relaxes me. He hugged me back. I want to stay awake while lying next to him but I'm really sleepy now.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When I woke up, I'm still hugging Andy, but this time my left leg is on top of his....

OH MY GOSH!!

I remove it quickly, I hope I didn't wake him up. He's still on a deep sleep. It's too early, I don't know why I woke up this early, maybe because I know when I open my eyes he's on my side.

He suddenly pulled me on his side. It's like I'm on a cloud 9.

"Emily" huh? he speaks!

"You're awake?" He moans.

"Stay away from him" who? wait?! he's talking while sleeping.

*he's dreaming, wake him up!* But...

He stopped talking as he sigh. Oh my Andrew, you're dreaming of me. I lie on his side and trying to sleep again. I shift to different positions but still I can't sleep. It's just 4 o'clock in the morning. Geez! I need more sleep. I sit for awhile trying to catch my sleep. Andrew moved, I look at him and he slightly open his eyes while staring at me. He grabbed my back and layed me on his top. I tried to pull myself against him. Oh man! this is quite awkward. I'm lying over him. Gaaaaahh!

When I failed to escape from his embrace, I just lay down my head on his chess and I could feel his breathe. Wow, my eyes are now begging for a sleep. This is more comftable but kinda awkward cause I could feel the hump below. Geez!!

*Emily! stop thinking about it and sleep!* okay okay.

I finally close my eyes.... and... fell...

Asleep.
