6 Chris

After dropping Cee off, I went to my favorite music store because I have been checking out their latest bass guitar. I have been saving my allowance so that I could buy it. I mean, I could always ask my dad to buy it for me but I want to be the one to buy it for myself. I then went to the bookstore to check if the book that I was waiting for is already available. Unlike other boys, I really like to read books. On the way to the bookstore, I passed by this flower shop and a certain bouquet caught my eyes. It was composed of white and pink peonies and when I saw it, it reminded me of Cee. I just couldn't go without buying it for her so I did. Hopefully she'll like it.

As I walk towards the bookstore with the bouquet in my hand, I then thought of Cee. There's something in her that pulls me closer to her. It seems like I've known her all my life and as crazy as it sounds, I want to spend time with her to get to know her better. I want to be a part of her life and make her feel how special she is. Hopefully this small gesture would somehow earn me a place in her heart.

I was busy browsing through some books when Cee called me and said that she's ready to go home. I hurriedly went to the café to meet her and I couldn't wait to see what her reaction would be when she sees this bouquet. When I saw her sitting on the corner of the café busily looking at her phone, my heart skipped a beat. How can she look so beautiful and serene? I guess she was reading because I can see how she furrows here eyebrows as if concentrating in something. I secretly hid the bouquet while approaching her and when she looked up, she gave me that sweet smile of hers and apologized if I waited long for her because she lost track of time. I assured her that it was okay and that I understand because they have not seen each other for a long time and told her that I also lost track of time reading in the bookstore earlier. It was then that I found out that we both share the passion for books. I told her that its one of the things that keeps me busy when I'm not playing with my guitar or writing songs. She was impressed when I told her about the writing part and it made me feel so proud. I then asked her if we could eat before going home since its getting late and she happily agreed.

When she was about to stand up, I knew it was the perfect time to give her the flowers and when she saw it, she was really happy. She said that she loved peonies and it was a plus that I got the correct ones. She thought that Bran told me but I told her that I didn't know and that when I saw the flowers, I thought of her that's why I bought it. She blushed and told me that it was the sweetest thing that someone has ever done for her and that she wants to repay me. I told her that she doesn't have to because seeing her happy is enough for me. She again blushed and told me that we should go home because she was starving. I know it was just her excuse because she was caught on the spot but I let her be and besides, I like seeing her blush every time I do something for her.
