Getting closer

ONE day, I saw him alone in the lagoon and studying, so I immediately approached him. I sat down next to him but he did not look at me. He probably knew it was me because I was there for him every day.

"Is that chemistry?" I asked, on the subject he was studying. He nodded. "It looks like us." I said laughing so he turned to me.

"Huh?" he asked confusedly.

I smiled when I saw a change in its facial expression. "Because we have a Chemistry." I said smiling but instead of rejoicing, he turned his attention back to he was doing. Because my joke was corny. But I tried again. "You know, we're not human, we're not animals either, do you know what we are?" I asked him.

I snatched his notebook from him so he could notice me. "Give it back!" he said.

"Answer my question first." I said smiling.

He frowned. "That cheesy line is a scratched."

"All right, what's next?"

"We are not human, we are not animals, because we are a thing." he completed.

I smiled again. "Wow! I told you, we really have a thing," I said laughing but he suddenly snatched the notebook from me then stood up on the seat to leave.

Another reason why I always follow him is because I want to see him smile since he is always a poker face. Zach will probably be even more handsome when he smiles at me.

I was about to leave the school campus when I saw him walking out the exit gate alone, so I hurriedly walked to accompany him, he was even surprised when he saw me there. I smiled at him then walked along.

I smiled when he did not avoid me and even more he did not hurry to walk to avoid me. I felt the shiverred down my spine and since I only looked at Zach, I almost bump the back of the guard who was in front of me, fortunately Zach pulled me quickly, my heart starts pounding when I noticed that we're just inches away and I could feel his warm hand holding my arm. I couldn't help but smile.

Somehow he is still worried about me. I first felt it when he took me from the swimming area to the clinic for a check-up. Am I leveling up in his heart? I hope so.

I thanked him and he immediately released the grip of my arm, so, he was surprised when I held his hand to lead him to the streetfoods area, he saved me from an accident, so I will treat him.

I found out that he does not eat streetfoods but because of my persistence I forced him and to my surprised, he agreed. When did I have power over him? I was about to hand over the payment when he paid quickly, so in the end, he was the one who treated me.

I kept asking myself, am I in heaven? I feel so happy! It was as if I had recovered from all the embarassment from the first day I approached him. Is this what they call the fruitful reward because of the efforts I made in the past?

While we were eating, I smiled at him, apart from the way he looked so cute, I was thrilled to see him eat with me, I thought I would never have the chance to soften his heart, but i felt that he finally opened his heart for me.

I was surprised to see the corner of his lip rise, yes, he was smiling as he stared at me! So this is a miracle! I wanted to take a picture of him just in case he change his mind and went back to being a poker face but he was shy. It doesn't matter, i will just save that beautiful smile in my heart, that was enough for now.

"Why?" I asked Zach in astonishment because he kept staring at me.

He pointed on my nose and cheeks and I felt there was a sticky sauce there, I was embarrassed and wiped my face, he might think I was a messy eater.

But my heart pounded when he stared straight at my face as he wiped my nose. I feel like I'm going to faint with that speed of my heartbeat.

I want to ask Zach if I already have entered his heart? Or did he already have fallen for me too? I was thrilled to the bones but i just kept those questions in my mind because i don't want to jeopardize this moment.

When we finished eating he called for a taxi, I thought he would leave me first but I was surprised when he opened the door and he put me on board first, added to my excitement when he nodded at me and smiled sparingly as goodbye. I was so stunned. Zach really made my day!
