Love Again

Hey guys, long time no talk :D.
I've came up here with another one-shot. I also wonder why I'm into one-shot and not into series.
Well, maybe it doesn't matter. Today I'm having a day off from work, so yeah, that's why I can write.
Let's not waste anymore time because I don't think you guys come here to read my caption, so here we go~


LOVE AGAIN 

I usually heard from elders, saying that 'once a lover, can't be a friend'. It's still a doubtful mysterious saying because I honestly don't think it's hard to befriend with someone even your ex as long as both of them agree to be just friend.

But who am I to decide? I've never been in love before. I think I have crushes, but then I don't think I do... Aish, I'm not even sure if it was a crush or what.

Everyday to school, I'm not popular among boys. I'm more popular with girls. It's funny because some guys are even jealous at me for being intimate with my girl friends!

"Come on! We are both girls! We can hug each other freely just like that!" and just like any ordinary days, I'm whining at my best friend, Key, for he kept complaining why girls like to play with me.

"But that's no fair! Have a look at yourself! You're not girly, in fact, you don't even look like a girl!" Key responded very quickly, looking all frustrated. He's clearly exaggerating things.

"Dude, stop overreacting," I rolled my eyes at him. He seriously needs to stop, it's helpless to complain about the same stupid thing everyday-- me being surrounded by girls.

"How to become like you?" Out of nowhere, Onew popped into the conversation.

"I don't know! Guys! Really, stop it. Why don't we just talk about a basketball match after school? It's more useful and practical, and obviously not stupid," I stressed the word 'stupid', so that they all would understand what's my point is.

"Yeah, stop disturbing my bro, she's having a hard time enough just to deal with those touchy girls," finally someone who can read my mind has arrived. He's Henry, my prince charming, always help me out in tough situation just like right now.

"Phew!" Key pretending to spit, "you guys should marry each other!"

"Yeah, perfect match," Onew agreed, nodding his head.

"Don't listen to them, Krys, they are just jealous," Henry pushed his arm around my shoulder, protecting me. It feels so warm, and protected.

Yeah, it's Krystal! Not Amber! Who thought it was Amber's pov from the beginning? :D (Author troll), now let's carry on. 

Henry is such a gentle man. He's playful and caring, and all sort of stuffs! I wish I could just love him and marry him, but instinctively, something tells me it's just not right. Not right. I can't find any reasons to not marry him, plus he understands me so well, but I just can't imagine marrying him. Weird mind of mine.

We sat next to each other in class while Key and Onew sit behind us. Those two have the most fun disturbing us more than doing anything else, and as a tough, nasty girl I am, I always turn back and glare at them. I'm so famous for my deadly glare, by the way.
Should I tell you guys a bit about myself?

Well, I'm 19 years old. I got this long black shiny hair which Key likes to pull around and gets on my nerves. You guys might wonder why girls go all touchy with me even though I look so damn girly. Actually, it's because I'm the youngest and the most shy girl in the classroom. I mean they are all so naughty! They like to talk about 18+ topics which I can never understood, and they like to mock me physically and verbally for that.
I can say I'm pretty pretty. :D Guys fall for my beauty, but just scared of me most of the time. I have a big sexy eyes, sharp nose, perfect lips, and an adorable V-shape face. Aw, I'm so in love with myself.

I almost got a body of a model. Problem is: I'm a bit fat, but it's just baby fat! A bit around my waist, some around my bottom, and that's it. So yeah, I think I can say I'm slim. :D

Today, we are having a very boring class, history. In order to keep me awake, Henry occasionally write me small notes to laugh at, and yes, it does work. While the teacher is singing the lesson, there's a knock on the door. It was an office staff. I suppose he's bring a new student.

The door swung opened, revealing a very handsome chinese boy.
Omg, he just captured my heart. I stared at him, but he doesn't look at me. I'm not even sure where's he's looking at because it looks like he's looking at the ceiling.

Then the new kid was introduced.

"Good morning class. Welcome your new classmate. Her name is Amber, she can't speak English fluently yet, so please help her,"

I was like, what?! That was a SHE?! Oh dear lord, I'm falling for you Ms.Amber.

She was sent to sit at furthest end of first row, my row to be exact. I assume she's shy because she keeps avoiding eye contact, and she's looking at her book all the time as if there's something so interesting in there. Oh wait, there's actually something interesting. There's a tour guide book of L.A. She must be so new here.

I really want to talk to her, but I'm too nervous.
Henry made the first move.
He went to her table, and start a cool conversation.

"Hey, Amber. I'm Henry. Nice to meet you," he held out his hand for a handshake. Amber looks at Henry's hand as if he handed her a bomb or something. Her face is hilarious.
When she finally reacts, she just nods and smiles.

"Dude! You failed!" Key shouted from his seat, and Onew booed along. I just laughed it off, then walked to the awkward looking Henry.

"Ni Hao!(Hello)" I spoke with my broke chinese, trying to know if she's really Chinese. Upon hearing my greeting, she looked up at me like light bolt, so yeah, from that, I can know she's Chinese.

"Ni Hao! Ni ke yi jiang jong wen ma? (Hello! You can speak Chinese?)" she looked at me with sparkling eyes. Maybe she thinks she finally find someone who she can talk to.

"Yi tian tian ( a little), sorry" I smiled with shiny teeth. She looks disappointed, though.

"OK, OK. Amber," she held out her hand to shake mine instead.

"Krystal," I gladly grabbed her hand, and smiled cutely at her.

From that handshake, seems like our bond is attached.
She asked the teacher to sit next to me. I self-study Chinese at home, so that it's easy to contact with her. I guess she's doing the same thing because her English is getting better.

Henry doesn't look that happy all these time since I only talked with Amber mostly. Even during class, I chit-chat with Amber. She's fun to talk to. All sort of pronunciation mistakes make it become so interesting between us.

One day...

"Krys, I have something to ask you," Henry looked straight into my eyes. This is pretty awkward, we are alone in a room of silence.

"Yes? What is it? Make it quick, I'm meeting Amber," I said honestly, avoiding his gaze.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked me, seriously and clearly. I looked at him, shocked of the info that just got through my ears.

"You can't be serious?" I beamed at him, hoping he would just laugh it off, saying 'yeah, I'm just messing around with you', but nope, he didn't say that. I see how his eyes turned from clear to teary to disappointment.

"I thought you got the thing for me. Is it because of that Amber? You abandoned me lately," Henry spoke sadly.

"No, no. Don't even think of that. Amber's my friend. She's cute, and I like her. For you, you're my best friend. I thought we made it clear, Henry. I've never seen any boy who can understand me as much as you, but it doesn't matter how hard I wanna love you, I just can't. I don't know I just can't. You're perfect, but my heart doesn't beat for you. Please understand me, and forgive me Henry. I hope this incident won't ruin our friendship," that's the longest speech I've said so far in my life. I put a lot of effort in saying it more than I put effort into my presentation.

"Krystal...Why? Maybe you need more time? I can give you that!" Henry looked so desperate that I can't help but feel disgusted. I don't like a guy who is this weak. It's just love matter, and he almost become like a crying baby. Then what will he become if there's anything more dangerous happen to him?

"Stop, Henry. I don't like pathetic person. If you continue to make yourself looks so helpless, I'll have to unfriend you. You're the man, start acting like one!" I didn't spare my words. I must have hurt his feelings so bad. He dropped his head low, and tell me to go away.

With pleasure, I thought.

I caught Amber by surprise. She's standing at the door, looking through the glass at us.

"Are you fighting with your boyfreind?" Amber asked me when we were walking down the stairs.

"No! He's not my boy friend. He's just my best friend, but he's acting so pathetic right now, and I'm so mad at him," I replied like a thunderstorm. Yes, I'm still so angry.

"Chill, he loves you, I can see," Amber said coolly.

"But I don't love him. How to make myself clear?" I frowned at Amber, waiting for solution from her.

"Well, I don't know too. I never fell in love before," Amber shrugged her shoulders, looking so dumbfounded as always which I found it so cute. I grabbed her cheeks and squeeze them.

"Ow!!!!" she yelped.

"You're so cuteeeee~~~~" I sang a song, but at that moment, I realized.


I love Amber.

Oh no, I love Amber.

I love a girl.

That's not right.

"Hey, Krys? Are you OK? You're spacing out earlier," Amber moved her hands up and down in front of my face.

"I'm fine,Am. Let's not study today. I have to something to think about," I think I looked so dense at the moment.

"Come on. If you love me, just confess because I love you too," I think Amber just confessed.

Oh my god, why is everyone confessing to me today? Well, just 2 people, but they are all close to me.

But Amber, she gave me butterflies. The feeling is so different from when Henry confessed.
Then, what does that mean?

I can't resist that charming confident smile of Amber.
She really reads my mind at the moment that I think her smile turned into a smirk.

"Fine, you got me," I finally confessed my feeling too.

Her smile grew wider before she pulled me for a hug. Ah, it feels so right. I love her embrace.

"You know, I really wanna crash  my lips onto yours, but I'm shy. So let's wait for another moment," Amber chuckled, and I just laughed along. I think it's so dorky of her.

"I love you," we both said it at the same time.


You might think that's so unromantic of my love story, but well, it happened like 7 years ago, during high school. What to expect? I only summarize it for you all to read. Me right now is working woman in one big automobile company. I already lost contact with Amber, Henry, Key, and Onew. I lost all their contacts. If there was facebook back there, I think I won't lose them.

I remember a bitter good bye between Amber and me because we both have to go abroad. All of us went to different colleges, and that's the last when we saw each other. I heard Amber left L.A to somewhere else that I didn't know.

I still love her.
I still miss her everyday.

I really wonder if one day I'll meet her again. How does she look like now?

And...

OH

MY

GOD!

Who is that hot guy?! I shouted inside my brain.  Ok guys don't get me wrong. I still drool over hot guys, but I only love Amber. He has short blonde hair, sharp eyes, straight face.

"This is our new investor, Amber Liu,"


Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!!!!!!

"Amber!" I exclaimed, forgot I'm still in the meeting room.

She looked at me, curious, but maintained her classy look, before she mouth

"Krystal?"

I can see it!
I see her sparkling eyes! she's just as happy as I am!

Now everyone in the room are having question marks above their heads, and I seriously don't know why because it's not that weird to greet my long lost girlfriend by just calling out her name, right?

"Ms.Jung, please behave yourself," my boss beside me, telling me very sternly to shut up.

"What's your role in this company?" Amber asked bluntly, ignoring all the eyes. She asked me without emotions. She asked out of formality. I see no more bling bling eyes...

At the same time, I heard everyone saying 'oh lord', 'oh dear', 'oh god', 'jesus, Krystal', but I don't care as I only respond to Amber's question.

"I'm a project manager, what about you?" I returned the question fair and square although I received a few kicks from my boss nearby. What? Can't a new employee asking the investor what her role is?

"I am the biggest share of the company, and the CEO of World Best Autoparts Co., LTD which is the only supplier for this company," Amber introduced herself in a very charming way. I can see stars and light behind her head shining bright. She looks just like a superhero.

But a second...

A biggest share? the CEO of World Best Autoparts?!

Once I realized how big her position is, I straighten my body, open my eyes so widely, and looked straight at her with my jaw dropped.

"I got no time for introducing myself. Even though you're new, you need to make sure you know the background of this company. Meet me in my office at building A after this meeting," Amber announced toughly. She looks so cool even when she's about to fire me.

She's right. It's just my luck to get a job in this company. I know nothing about car parts, and I don't like it either. Moreover, I didn't read the background of this company at all since I keep putting off reading until tomorrow and tomorrow.

Anyway, the meeting went smoothly. She, Amber, agreed on the new project I managed, and just invest 100% of the budget. She likes it a lot according to her facial expression. I hope my successful project can save me from being fired because I really enjoy the salary in this place. xD

Nonetheless, I still have to meet Amber in her room. I got no idea at all she's staying in building A. No one ever talks about her, or gossips about her. She remains so silent.
I keep my pace the same as her, walking behind her back.

Why is she so different?
She doesn't care about me, not even a bit.

Yah! Don't you know I miss you?!

I wish I could just jumped in front of her, and asked her that question.


Entering the cold, elegant room, Amber told me to lock the door, and she makes her way to sit in her big comfy chair. Since she's my biggest boss, I need to maintain myself.

"Please come here," she pointed at the spot right in front of her. She's scaring me now. Is it like those bosses that might slap me because I was impolite to her? If she's not type, why does she need me to stand to so close to her?

A hand wraps around my neck, pulled me in hard. I can feel her lips crashing on mine, sucking it demanding. Yeah, it's so unexpected, but I returned her kiss just as much force. Another free of her, circled my waist, pulling my body even more closer until it touches hers. In return, I swung both of my arms extensively around her neck, holding onto her tight.

I don't know how long we've been kissing, but I need to push her away because I can't breathe anymore. We are both panting hard, trying to absorb as much oxygen as possible. Meanwhile, I glance at her, and smile. Seeing me smile made her chuckles.

"Well-played, Am. You should be an actor! You scared me to death because I thought you would fire me already!" I finally recovered my steady breathing.

"Haha, it's not everyday that I can fool Krystal Jung around. Miss me?" she asked.

I was about to answer, when she again pulled me into another soft swift kiss.
It was so sweet, but hot, so hot that melt my body and heart away.
I wanted to return the favor, so I said:

"Hey! Why do you keep on harassing me?! You don't know if I'm seeing someone or I'm already married!"

"I don't care whether you're taken, or almost taken, or about to be taken," Amber said slowly, but lean her face closer to mine, "as long as I know you still have feeling for me, I can make you love me again. You love me so much that you're body act involuntary when it comes to me," with that, Amber moved fast. She hugged me by waist, looking deep into my eyes with her free hand tucking away some strain of hair from my face.

"I know you never stop loving me, but well, it's quite a long time since we parted. So let's love again."

And she knows how to work the magic. I just can't help blushing when listened to her sweet words. Needless for me to give me another kiss, I leaned in slowly, capturing that sweet lips of hers.

"Juicy lips, Krys. I shouldn't have been shy," Amber finished the talking with a sly smirk.

"And I can't believe you turned out to be so naughty," I curled her tie, trying to look seductive more than ever.

The puppy love is now replaced with another whole new level of love. This time, it's strong, hot, and serious.

Love,
December 12.

Please enjoy yourself ~
