I like you too…
“Amber! Earth to Amber!” Krystal shook my shoulder, making
me awake from my mini heart attack.
“Sorry, what did you just say? I think I've heard it
wrong,” I asked her again, making sure I
wasn't daydreaming.
“Hey, don’t panic! Happy April’s fool! I should have taken a
photo of your face,” Krystal started
laughing so hard until she told her stomach while my heart dropped till my
foot. So that was just April’s fool, my god, I should have known. Man, that
hurts so bad.
“You really shouldn't have fooled me. I am not a fan of
April’s fool, and it’s not funny,” I drove off fast.
At this state of moment, I just wanna race in the street.
She grabbed my shoulder and said,
“Hey, I’m sorry, calm down, will you? You’re over the
limit!”
“Urgh,” I groaned in return, but eventually slow down
because yeah, I’m still conscious enough not to kill us both.
“I’m sorry, ok? No more fool next time. I just thought
you’re also playful, so I didn't know you’re unhappy about it,” Krystal
apologized, sadness can be heard easily which made me feel so bad right away.
“I was overreacting, I’m sorry as well,” I replied, fixed my eyes on the road, “ I was
so hopeful upon hearing that from you,”
“Hey, don’t return the favor that way. I can’t be
fooled,” she stuck her tongue at me.
“I wasn't fooling around. I really like you, and the fact
you’re a married person kills me, and just now you said you like me but turns
out to be an April’s fool,” I told her everything burden in my chest.
My words create silent atmosphere. Because she doesn't say
anything, I don’t dare say a word.
“Happy April’s fool again. Honestly speaking, I really like
you. Sorry I lied that I lied,” Krystal said softly.
“Huh?” I couldn't really process the words she said right away.
“I like you, I do, but I just lied that ‘I like you’ is an
April’s fool lie,” she explained herself. And that’s easy to understand.
“So…?” so what now? We both confessed a fail relationship.
What’s the point right?
“Why don’t we get into a relationship?” she suggested, making
me hit on the brake right away.
“What? How about your husband?” I turned my head, facing
her, wearing an amused face, “are you asking me to be your affair?”
“No! I’m a single lady,” she smiled, “that so-called husband
is just my cousin. He’s just putting up a master plan, some sort of that.”
“Oh?” that’s the only word I could muttered.
“Haha, you’re cute. Let’s get into relationship,” she right
away crushed her lips on mine. I didn't exactly know how to respond. My whole
body is stiff. I can’t decide whether it’s another sick joke or it’s really the
truth. Waiting to see her move, I began to feel that it’s a reality, so I just
respond well to the kiss. Quite a gentle smooth kiss it was. Pulled out, she
pecked my cheeks and told me to bring her home.
From that day on, my daily routine changed. I didn't spend
most time preparing food because I was too busy preparing myself. I want myself
to look good and professional to suit her. Every day to work, for me, is just
to attract her, to show her I’m the one. Because we were both too busy with
work, we didn't get to hangout much. We only see each other inside the work
place. 3 months went by so quickly, and one day she asked me,
“Am, I think we should move in together. With all these workloads,
I can hardly meet you. I mean I see you at work all the time, but we have to
keep our professionalism, and that’s miserable!”
“All right!” I chuckled before continue, “I’ll look up for
condo price and we can discuss later. Sounds good?”
“That’s great! You’re
the best, I love you!” she pecked my lips swiftly. I found it so cute until I
saw Luna was at the door, paralyzed. Judging on her facial look, I suppose she
has seen the peck. Yeah, we are still at work, and didn't expect anyone to know about us.
“Oh, Luna! What’s it you want me to help?” Krystal asked,
normally while signaling me to leave.
Their talk went on longer than I
expected. I hope Luna won’t say a thing because my kind of relationship isn't
so profitable to the bank. 2 days went on, but I heard no rumors about me
dating the big boss. I guess Luna kept quiet after all. Talking about me, Krys
and I already moved into this luxurious apartment.
“Baby~” Krystal
whined in my arm.
“Hmm?” I replied without dropping my eyes from my book.
“I want water, go get it!” sounds so demanding, this
girlfriend of mine.
“But I’m reading and the bed is too soft to leave,” I
replied pitifully, trying to let her go get it herself.
“Am, from the count of 3—“
Krystal was about to say the scary word.
“Ok! I’ll go get it,” I immediately got off and came back
with a glass of water.
That count of 3 never fail. She would usually come up with
weird and scary condition. Like the last time, because I forgot to buy her
shampoo, she gave me cold shoulder for 3 days. Totally ignored me. And when
she’s jealous? Oh boy, I need to prepare my sleeping area on the floor. There's also another time when I made a dirty joke, she just glared and slapped in the face, and told me not to make sort of joke in front of her again because she doesn't like it. The slap didn't hurt so bad, luckily.
She’s one nasty girlfriend. Only after we got together.

So here's the ending. it's actually a bit off the title.
Well enjoy reading. :)
Love,
