23rd June, 23’ on a rainy Friday

I waited for your arrival in front of the market. You were late. We promised to meet at 7.30pm. But, traffic made things hard. You came to see me at 8.35pm. I wasn’t upset. I felt nervous meeting you for the first time. It felt new. The time flew really fast around you. I remember the fast pace, and your walk made me all giddy. I wanted you to slow down. So, I held your shirt so you would walk slowly beside me. I liked when you teased me while looking at the ducks. The drizzling felt nice on the skin. 

You had a unique smell on you. Not that I hate, but I didn’t like it either. I lied when I said you smelled good. It was strong. Some might like it. But I didn’t but still, I wanted to please you. Maybe I didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable. 

We went to mamak shop. You got your food first and I patiently waited for mine beside you. I didn’t wanna sot in front you cause I felt it would be hard to hear your voice while the whole restaurant is loud with people’s chit chat. I sat beside you. You cracked some jokes and you even flirted. It felt nice after a long time that I had that effect on someone. Maybe that’s what chemistry is. 

The long walks, the time we sat at the field to look at the soccer game. Everything made me think, is this how is it to have someone beside you? Like for a date? Will this even work out? But it’s too soon to think about it. I didn’t wanna freak you out. So I acted as though I’m going with the flow. But I really fell for you. The kiss you gave me the way you touched it all felt so special. But am I the only one feeling this way? I don’t know. 

All the passion between us, will it continue? May the time tell the tale between us. - Ash.N
