He winked at her and gave her a lazy smile when he finally caught her eye. She smiled back and motioned him to listen back to the discussion. His smile broaden. He puckered his lips and blew her a kiss. She just rolled her eyes and looked in front of her. But not before he caught the pretty pink blush that tainted her cheeks...

The next day...

"What took you so long? I've waited for almost an hour now." He grumbled.

"One minute and five seconds," She put her bag down and sat beside him. "You were just ahead of me for a minute and five seconds. I have to finish my report or else I'll fail. And please, stop sulking."

"So you mean to say, you're report is more important than me?" He teased.

"You're crazy!"

"Of course I'm crazy, I'm crazy for you!" He winked at her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Shut up!" She laid her head close to his heart and listened to its soft beating.

"I wish we can stay like this all day." She heard him say...

The next week...

"Stop crying!" He tighten his embrace on her. "You know I can't stand seeing you cry." His voice, raw with emotion.

"I can't! I messed up again." She was soaking his shirt with tears, but he doesn't care.

"It's alright! Everything's going to be alright," He murmured and gently stroked her hair "If you'll fail, I'll flunk my grades too."

"You're crazy!" She was laughing this time.

"Of course I'm crazy, I'm crazy for you."

"Shut up!" She tighten her hold on him, laid her head close to his heart and listened to its steady beating.

"I won't leave you, I promise." She heard him say...

The next month...

"There you are!" He was smiling from ear to ear "I've been looking for you everywhere."

"You know where to find me." She joked.

"I know" He smiled sheepishly "Uhm, can we talk for a minute?"

"Of course! But what's with the nervous look?"

He took a deep breath and look in her eyes. He looked so uncomfortable but oh so adorable with the wind gently ruffling his hair.

"I love you." He took another deep breath "I love you so much, that you should be the first person to know about this. I've already asked Sarah to be my girlfriend and she said yes! I'm so happy, imagine for how many years, I've finally found the courage to tell her how much she means to me!"

"That's great! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you." She beamed at him.

"Thank you, you're the bestest best friend in the world," He pulled her against him and engulfed her in a tight embrace. "You're going to like her, I swear." She heard him say...

HER THOUGHTS:

"Don't look at him. Don't look at him." She told herself, but like so many times before, she did. He winked at her and gave her a lazy smile that melts her heart every time.

She smiled back and motioned him to listen back to the discussion, but instead his smile broaden. He puckered his lips and blew her a kiss. Her face heated, and she knows she's blushing.

The next day...

"What took you so long? I've waited for almost an hour now." He grumbled.

"You're crazy!"

"Of course I'm crazy, I'm crazy for you!" He winked at her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Shut up!" She laid her head close to his heart and listened to its soft beating, unlike hers that's beating madly.

"I wish we can stay like this all day." She heard him say...

"Please God, don't let this end." She whispered to herself...

The next week...

"Stop crying!" He tighten his embrace on her. "You know I can't stand seeing you cry." His voice, raw with emotion.

"I can't! I messed up again." She was soaking his shirt with tears, but he doesn't care.
