A Good Start, Hazel L. Merin [best time to read books TXT] 📗

well you're wrong." Oh my. I started being rude. "Of course not, I know you're not one of them. And to tell you, they're the ones who's flirting on me. I just cant reject those girls 'cause they might be embarrased. I don't want to embarass people especially girls." He explained with a convincing look. "Is that so? Well, that would be nice to hear. I thought you love playing girls' heart." I said while looking in his eyes to see if his telling the truth. And I guess he is. "No, I was once hurt so bad in my past that's why I promise to myself I will no longer be inlove if she's not the right one." Aaron elaborated. I was surprised that he was to share his personal life to me. But I came to realize that our dance was being too long. "Well, goodluck to you, may you find your true love. Ahm can we sit now?" I asked while looking around if where my friends are. "Sure, but hey, can we go out for some time. A cup of coffee maybe?" he invited. "Ahh yah sure. just a coffee ok?" I replied with a smile. I think there's a much deeper personality of him that not everyone could see. He nodded and smiled back to me with his chinese-looking eyes. He's so adorable when he smile. He lead me to our table and he left me alone sitting. Alone? Where are the two girls? I looked around and I was shocked with what I saw. It's Gia and Lugiy who's dancing sweetly. But they look good together in all fairness. Chapter 6 - Feeling Confident

Aaron lead me to our table and he left me alone sitting. Alone? Where are the two girls? I looked around and I was shocked with what I saw. It's Gia and Luigy who's dancing sweetly. But to be honest, they look good together in all fairness. I decided to go at the mini bar to have some cocktail. While getting near, I was more shocked with what I saw. It's now Eli and Lian, whispering to each other. I went near to them and say "Hey Eli, I was looking for you and Gia. Well anyway, I'll just go get some drink." I passed through them and sigh. How I wish Lian could talk to me that close too.

 

(Lian's Point of View)

 

After the jam, me and my bandmates went to our table to have our dinner. We passed through Zara's table so I could glance at her closer even just for a while. But I was jealous with what I saw. She's with Aaron. Why is she talking to Aaron? She can't be with him. If he's trying to catch up Zara's heart, well I think he doesn't deserve her. He don't take a girl seriously. If there's someone who suits her most, It's gonna be me. How I wish that would be me. But I don't have the courage to tell her my true feelings.

 

Few minutes later after we ate. I look back to Zara's table but she wasn't there. She's now dancing with Aaron. I felt so envy but I can't do anything. I went to the mini bar to have some alcohol to drink. I saw Eli, one of Zara's closest friend, drinking some mocktail. "Hey there, how's the drink?" I spoke to her and then a bright idea came to me. "Oh hey Lian, ahh, this is too sweet but it's fine with me, I love sweets." she replied with a smile. After getting my jackcoke, the party loud song started playing. "Eli, can I ask a favor?" I tried to shout moderately so she could hear me, but she didn't. So I moved closer to her and whisper it again. "Sure, what is it?" she whispered back. Unexpectedly, Zara came to us and I froze. "Hey Eli, I was looking for you and Gia. Well anyway, I'll just go get some drink." I just stand still seeing her beautiful face. She left and went to the mini bar. I asked Eli to go with me at the garden immedietly where sounds are not that loud. She agreed.

 

"You know, I was wondering if you could help me tonight?" I started. "Your asking help from me? Why me and what is it all about?" she asked with a very confusing look. "It's just that.......I wanted Zara. Ever since. But I don't have the courage to tell my feelings to her. I was coward that she might reject me because she doesn't dated anyone yet. But tonight, I decided to confess my feelings for her. I missed out the 4 whole years of college and this time I don't want to miss this last night. I may regret this if I wouldn't do it now. And the only thing that came to my mind is to ask help from one of her closest friend. And you're one. So could you help me out??" I elaborated so she could understand what am I asking for help. Eli was shocked but she just smiled from ear to ear which made me more confident now. It feels like she was really happy for what I've confessed and said "Surely I will dude! No worries! So what's the plan??" she replied excitingly.

 

I decided to have my confession at the rose circled garden because I thought it could be really sweet with those roses around us. To make it more romantic, I asked Ram to play guitar for us later while we're dancing. After all the planning. We went back to the party which no one noticed that we were gone for half an hour, except for Zara I think. I'm a bit nervous that after all the years of keeping my feeling for her, here I am, trying to have the courage and raise my tie to tell her. I don't mind if she would reject my confession, but at least I tried.

Chapter 7 - Confession Session

(Zara's Point of View)

 

For almost half an hour, I already drunk 3 glasses of sunrise tequila but it didn't made me feel dizzy or something. I'm used in drinking cocktails and mocktails because we studied Bartending during the last year of college.  What I feel right now is boredom. I thought this night would be the most special and unforgettable night. But I think it will not be. Everyone is dancing out loud and enjoying but it's not my thing. I'm not fond in dancing, singing maybe.

 

I walked around to see if I could wash away my boredome and finally I saw a bestfriend of mine, Eli! "Zara! I was looking for you, where have you been?" she asked while catching her breath. "Hello? I was just at the mini bar where we last met. Why do you look somewhat in a hurry seeing me?" I spilled confusingly. "Ahm nothing. Come on, let's have some fresh air at the garden. I coudn't breath normally in here." she invited. "Why in the garden? We have to make the most out of this party. A while ago, I can't because you and Gia are too busy." I answered  "Come on, if you didn't like the air, then we will  go back right away."

 

While walking to the garden, we talked about Gia and Luigy. We both agreed that they look so good together. We just hope Luigy doesn't make fun of Gia's heart. Gia looks so happy with him so we let them have the night. I was distracted with what I've heard, an acoustic guitar that plays my favorite song. I paused from talking. The sounds got louder and louder while getting near to the rose circled-garden. When we reached the circled-garden, no one was there. The one who's playing that guitar must be hiding somewhere. There were lots of petals surrounded on the floor and there's a note at the center. I look at Eli to confirm if am I suppose to read that and she looked at me like a "go ahead" look. I read it and it says "Hi, can you dance with me through out the night?" I wonder if who wrote this. I tried to go back at Eli but I saw no one. She left me? I notice someone is at my back standing, when I turned my head to find who it is, I was really surprised that it was LIAN! Holding a single stem white rose, my favorite flower! My cheeks turns into a very deeply red.

 

He walked near to me then gave me the rose and I accepted it.

"Hi Zara, sorry if I surprised you this time." he said with a very sweet voice.

"Well, I was really surprised Lian. Did you wrote that note?"

"Ah yah, and don't even ask if it is really for you, because it really does. So can we dance?"

I nodded with a bit smile and a confuse look.

 

We dance for 2 minutes without even talking to each other. I can't believe this is happening. It felt so awkward that I can't even say a single word. While dancing, I felt like I was totally melted with the way he stared at me.

"You're so beautiful Zara. Ever since I met you, I was mesmerized by your beauty."

"Well, ahm thanks Lian. But can I ask something? Why all of a sudden you became so romantic to me? I thought we're not that close?"

"Yah I know and I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'm sorry that I didn't have the guts to talk to you all through out college. I'm sorry if I was so shy asking you out for some time. I was so afraid that you may reject me because I know for a fact that you don't date exclusively. We didn't became friends because I'm too coward. I'm really sorry Zara"

"Ahm look Lian, you don't have to say sorry. It was also me who didn't talked too much when you're around. I always become quiet whenever you are present. That's why we didn't have the chance to hang up together. I have my reason but can I know why are you doing all this tonight?"

"Zara, I want to be honest now. I really wanted you. Ever since the day I saw you. It became more deeper whenever we're at the musical class. Even if we don't talk that much, I knew you're a nice person. You're not just nice, I really admire your smile, your eyes, your
