Low Key

Toma's POV

She was looking at me straight from the eye. I can sense from a distance that there's a stain of her being frightened, god i don't want to send a wrong message.

This is not her usual energy, is she in the midst of unknown? is she starting to hate me? I asked her if she is feeling unwell but there were no response "I'll take you to the hospital then...", "Who are you and what are you doing there?" she finally breaks her silence.

Her out of nowhere questions are better than the silent response earlier. After explaining why i was there, at least sharing part of it she became the shine i used to be with.

She even share that our set up is somewhat same as the movie i have watched probably about 4 yrs ago. She assumed i was on a date that time, i assumed the same thing. That was the least i can do. She wanted me to share, i think there is nothing bad of doing so...

"So... Here's how it goes..." i said after going for a one full gulp of an ice cold beer.

"There's this girl that i think i like and i wanted to ask her out. I heard she wants to watch the movie so i searched for it and save a seat." she was closely paying attention. "Darn that was sweet, did you save a seat for two?" she asked. "Did not... She watched the movie with someone else, i can't blame her because i did not even ask. I saw her watching the movie and having fun, i was there watching her all throughout the movie" Annika moved closer and look at me with a sad face "Hey i said it was fine, i didn't ask her anyway.", "Then why the fck you didn't ask her?" she sounded so disappointed which makes me more entertain. I told her that my set up back then and the girl was just impossible. Also, there is a high probability that if i introduce myself at that age she would be mad at me i was a senior and she was just a freshmen back then.

"Oh well... 4yrs is not that bad, but i got your point. When i was in freshmen the least i want to experience is to meet my future husband. All i want was just to have a normal life" she was busy drinking and talking in between. I was just fascinated and staring at her i think i owe myself some validation.

We switch from one topic to another. She shared a lot and so am I

"I was once a scholar in St. Gabriel but unable to stay because i need to get employed abroad as a trainee." i said while i am opening a new snack.

"Wow! you graduated from the school i am attending" will she ask further question regard to it? i am asking myself.

"So what did you do abroad?" she asked.

"I worked as a trainee from Tadashi Corp. but i spent most of my time there in the mechanic department. It helped me a lot since i took up Mastery in Engine Mechanics on top of Business Courses" she was quite amazed.

That night she decided to became naked and share her dreams like i am her journal. She shared her plans and how she is planning to get there, that night she even share that she is destined to be engaged and she wish that it ain't gonna happen. She prayed for that day to come where she would meet the right one and hopefully it would last...

Afterall, she's is a very simple girl. She is not even asking for a prince to come along. What she wants is a man who would support her to grow and would let her to be free.

I saw her, i can see her, i am looking at her.

We got our stuff cleaned up and return to the front seat. It is getting late, i gotta bring her home safe.

I can sense we are getting closer to her place...

"Hey! look at the ocean..." she said. The view was just perfect, it may sound crazy but again it looks like the same shit from the movie we were talking earlier.

The lead characters spend the night under the stars together. They talked about life in general after a fight against the bad guys. He drove her home and along the way they saw the beautiful view of the ocean, the moon was just bright as how it looks like from the movie.

"Remember that part where the lead actor Shane kissed Angel?" she asked casually.

"Nope, not really..." I said

I lied, i can completely recall everything. The girl i like from the past love that part so much, i know because i was looking at her. I was driving myself down to the memory lane when reality hit me.

"They did it like this..." Annika grab my hand and full me closer to her, wrap her arms around my neck and press a kiss on my lips.

"Remember?" she looked at me while smiling

"I don't think that's how they did it" I smirked... I took her hand and wrap it around my waist, full her closer, caress her face down to her chin, lift it up and gave her a kiss. I gave her a soft one and open my mouth a bit to move from her lower lip to upper lip. I felt her hug tighter and so i did the same. It lasted not too soon, but not too long to be embarrassed.

That night i think i got the validation i am asking for...
