Timeless - Chapter 3

Chapter Three

“Yah~! What a jerk, abandoning this poor baby here and left!" Sunny glared at the entrance where he just left. She scrunched up her nose in disgust.

“Aw maybe he’s really late for his appointment? “ Poppy tried to assure us both.

I stared at them both, and then at the bag of ice – which is dripping droplets of water onto my lap, making mini puddles. Then I stared at them both again.

“AIGOO...I DIDN’T EVEN GET HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I wailed, causing the whole café to look at us. 

The girls glared at me and quickly slide down on their seats.  I flushed. Damn that hot guy, making me all embarrassed today.

“C’mon, maybe you can “bump” into him the second day today.”  Sunny gave me one of her sunshine smile.

“Yeah, let’s go hot-guy-hunting now!” Poppy urge me, taking my bag and hurried to the exit.

“Love only happens when you least expected it, It won’t happen when you are so desperate.  “I said dryly, quoting what Poppy just said to me earlier. “And what about your shoes?” I got up from my uncomfortable seat, my arms were getting pins and needles for holding the ice on my forehead for too long, and I’m starting to have a migraine too, my head was completely fine before having that bag of ice.

She stopped in her tracks and scowled, “Desperate?! Me? YOU were the one whining about him earlier! I was just trying to help you!”  She fumed at me.

“I’m over him; he’s just a stranger who helped me, that’s all.” I replied, though sounding a bit wistful.“ And happens to be very handsome.” I added in my mind.

“Aish, I’m tired, let’s hurry with the shoes and go home.” I shook my head slightly, trying to get rid of his image from my mind.

We roamed from store to store, finding the perfect shoes for Poppy. Trying not to be too obvious, I sneaked a look behind my back occasionally, hoping to see him from somewhere. Sometimes I spotted someone looking very similar to him, my heart skipped a beat, but it wasn’t him. L

“Hey.” Sunny elbowed me, and point towards a direction. “Looky there~” My jaw dropped.

It was him.

Hanging with a bunch of guys,  probably his friends.

“Want to go and say Hi or something? “ A smile playing on her lips. Proud with her found.  “I fucking love her now.” I thought happily.

“Um… no. This is fine.” My eyes taking him in hungrily, “ Gosh did he grow hotter or something?” He started to walk away. My eyes following his every move. I felt like a stalker.  He suddenly turned around.

And our eyes met.

I let out a low gasp and quickly turn away. Fuck, fuck, fuck. He must be thinking I’m retarded or something. Staring at someone with this lustful eyes.

“He’s waving at you!!” Sunny was saying excitedly, and did a small jump.  I immediately shot my head up. DAMN.  The blood rushed up to my head instantly. Everything was a fucking blur for a few seconds. I had to blink a few times to get my focus back. “Ooh wave back! He’s trying to get your attention!” Sunny practically grab my hand to wave at him.

He then pointed to his head, and did a thumbs up. His eyes questioning.  He’s asking about my head! But right now I can only smiled weakly at him. He smiled back. “ Oh so cute. “

He shifted his attention to his friends, saying something to them then they looked at me and laughed heartedly. “Are they laughing at me? Did I have something on my face?” I thought worriedly and ran my fingers through my hair, fixing it. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. Seeing Poppy had purchased her shoes. Finally.  “Aish, let’s go.”  I dragged Poppy and Sunny to the exit, leaving the mall, not looking back once. 

Back at home, I flopped onto my bed with my stomach lying on the bed. I let out a muffled scream into my pillow. “AHH! I’m so fucking happy today!”  

My phone rang.  It was Poppy. I flipped the phone to connect.

“Ciaossu!” I chirped.

“Woah, you sure do sound happy!”

“That’s because I am~!” I replied in a sing-song voice.

Poppy said whatever and started telling me about the prom night tomorrow.

“I still don’t have a partnerrrr…” She whined into her phone.

“ I’m sure someone will ask you for a dance tomorrow, don’t worry.” I assured her.

“You think?” She asked in a hopeful voice.

“Yep, yep, yep. There’re loads of hotties from the other schools coming.” I winked, though she can’t see me.

“You’re right, I might have a chance…*yawn* Okay I’m exhausted. Off to bed! Night you!”

“Yeah, yeah. Go enjoy yourself tomorrow night. Bye.” We disconnected.

I undressed, and snuggled into my comfy bed. Thinking back about our conversation, I crossed my fingers hoping Poppy will find a handsome partner tomorrow. I slowly drifted off to sleep.
