Heart that sleeps

She looked upon the guy who gives her a handkerchief, looking at it a few seconds while her hearts are on the hang, do life really cares about her? She smiled at it without hesitation and meet his gaze, his brown almond-shaped eyes that shine through with the help of the sun's light, "here," he offered once again when she doesn't make a move to get it from him
With one hand on his pocket, blinking many times and can read his gesture that is still trembling out of his nervousness, "w-why are you? Why dis you followed here?" She asked and wipe her tears with her hands, still not giving attention to the hankie, "Uhm, I...I just wanted to say sorry to you l...lately," he uttered and noticed that she doesn't give a care about the thing, in his shy, he gradually put his hand back to his pocket with the hankie and gave an effort on which she wouldn't notice. Little he didn't know that Cassandra is watching his moves in every second. His heart is beating only for the girl whom he really loves, it only beats for a person who is important to him, and this time, he is looking at the girl who teaches him to feel the love again after his long detachments, "Uhm, may I sit?" He asked looking at it, she looked at her side and smiled bitterly, "yes," she responded to it. She moved slightly to give herself a distance from the guy, fixing her hair in one bun as the petals of the pink tree above her continue to fall. "Uhm, Cass, did...Did I make you feel uncomfortable lately?" He has the strength to ask her while watching her tie her hair, "No, I'm sorry Mike, I think I'm the one who made you feel that way, Did I?" She gives back the question and replaces both hands on her side after done tying. "No, Cass, I...I just noticed that you don't really give a care about that thing, and, I know you hate to be the center of attraction so I ask you about it." He started looking at the girl who didn't have the same feeling like him. "Is that the reason why you followed me here?" She asked and met his gaze, he's good looking at his very long neck and broad shoulders covered by the white polo long shirts and its tie, " do I have any reason to have? Miss president?" He pronounced while Cassandra is looking down to its lips while moving, she smiled slightly, and Mike do it too
The winds blow hard suddenly on its enchanting scenery of the two, one who has this love and another who has an unrelieved soul, destiny put them together on this bench who has ended a lot of relationships in the past few years, she pressed his lower lips and think of anything that she could respond to any of the questions thrown by this guy. "I'm sorry if you could know my story you will never look at me with that spark in your eyes, Mike..." She spoken still looking at the sun gives lights that cause the water in a river to shine within, making its light strike directly at them yet it has a warm and comfortable heat reason to give you restored energy. "You don't have to say sorry, President," he said and look upon the river too. Minutes had passed while both of them are still wondering why the destiny put them into one bench, still unknown to the reason his heart is bumping but not because of love but because of pitty, for himself, it's been a long time since he ended up his toxic relationship with that toxic girl named Melissa McCain the girl whom he gives his all but ended up cheating on him, on his condominium. "I appreciate this flower, You don't need to give me this next time," she said and look down to her hands where she handle the tulips. "Because you won't need that? Or you can't give me the—"
"Both Mike," she cut his words, He nodded twice and smiled in bitterness he already knew it, but why the hell he does that, "I...I know, haha," he said and laugh sarcastically trying to wear a mask to hide his discomfort, "then why you chose to dod that?" She confusingly asks and glances at him.
He give a deep breath and uttered "you can't win at everything at least you try, and that's the reason why I chose to fiddle with cupid," he move along his body and faced Cassandra who is now looking at him. "Not every of what we think is right, so I chose to reassure it," he added,
"And you now know that it was right?it tells you right...didn't it?" She quickly added
He node and smiled, "yeah," he said,
" Thank you for the love, But I can't give it back to you," she said straightforward looking at its beautiful eyes, his thick brows move upwards, and smiled widely revealing his white teeth. "Ouch, that is so harsh," he acted in lain while placing his right hand in front of his chest -where his heart is placed. "Tss, You act like a child, huh?" She said and widened her smile that eventually turns to laughter when Mike mock his voice "eomma, please buy me cotton candy there!" To a child tone.
Pointing to the man who sells cotton candy with his truck and a lot of children is waiting for their own sweets, she looks at it and immediately laughs until she closes her eyes and feels a little bit of ache to her stomach caused by laughter.
"You...you really good at the playing huh?" She asked and patted its messy brown silky hair. "Haha just wanted to feel you comfortable and relaxed with this scenario,"
"I am, just be chill too," she uttered and smiled and then look away. She gave out a sigh and encourage the strength inside her to reveal the thoughts on her mind that are running and running inside of it."Mike... I wanted to know, Uhm, W-why me?" She said still even she thinks that she is ready for it, her voice unfold her true feelings, it cracked. "Uhm, why you?" He cleared his throat and smiled. It's already 4:44 in the afternoon and since it was near to the time when the sun goes down, it gives them the light to feel the warmth and the surroundings slowly becoming orange, the birds are happily flying high up above the water, with their groups and enjoying the winds with them. "It's been a long time since I feel this love," he started followed by a deep breath, a breath of relief, and disappointment. "I...I remember her on my condominium having another guy on my bed, and you know what they are doing." He said in full of sadness, "She thought that I will not go home after the meetings held by my mother in the office of our company, and... I caught them doing something you would never want to see when you are betrayed by your loved one," a few seconds of silence passed, the sound of the water came from the big Fountain beside them is the only thing they can hear, other than the yelling of the children who play along with its balloons, "what happened?" She asked looking at the guy who is looking down at his expensive shoes, "She said she's drunk, that is why she made it, but I didn't agree with it, she doesn't drink alcohol that time and I immediately yelled at them to get out before I can do anything that will lead to trouble." He started placing his hand on his forehead and touching it. Cassandra is at its best to listen and only wait for him to add something to his words, "The most hurtful of that is, When I met my mom that day, she said that she wants Melissa for me and decided to plan a wedding for us when we reach twenty, of course, I am very happy that time cause I love her and sometimes wishing to wish star that I will marry her one day," he spoke and sighed, "what happened next? I entered my next chapter of life that day too," She got widened her eyes from what she heard, trying to figure out what's the feeling if caught your loved one with someone else in the day when your parent likes him/her also and it was your birthday. "Hey, what's going on?" The guy asked and noticed that he is watching her, "No...Nothing, I was just...you know I'm shocked," she replied, it laughs and look back again to the river, "yeah, that was so painful, that is the main reason too on why I chose to be single until now, I thought all the gurls will be like her and build blocks against them, but then, that block has cracks and eventually destroyed by just one stare," he smilingly said and look at the girl, he met her gazes with its hazel brown eyes that twinkle because of the sun's light. "That girl was just simple, at first, I didn't give care towards its eye-catching beauty, but then I heard her reciting a poem one time when I passes along the way to SSG's main office, pretty amazing cause that poem is kinda hard to memorize and then there is she... Confidently saying every each of the the the words in front of the whole class," he stated while looking at the eye of Cassandra. On the other hand, her...who is listening knows who is that girl she mentioned, her heart started to beat faster and feel the most annoying feeling ever gat she thrown in the trash bin when that day happened to her. "I didn't take a look on it, but that day when the election started, she is running for the president, she got this intelligence, beauty, and mind to answer all the questions of the head, and by that, after showing me a smile, I knew it, I was hooked up, and my heart knows...I'm imprisoned again," he stated. Touching her hands and holding them, she looks down when she felt the warm hands holding her needles, not knowing what to do or what to move she just smiled back and gradually remove her hands, "she's so simple and...Cassandra, it is you, I tried to tell my feeling even though even my mind tell me that it won't work I tried, and this... This is the reason why I am here, to ask you if you're okay? Or maybe you were just shocked by the way I let out my feelings," she heard it, her hearts beat fast with a little bit of guilt about being rude to him, she remain in silence thinking about what to say, but No words come to her mind but only the winds touch her skin made her to breath frozen air, "I fell in love because of your simplicity and innocence, But it's okay, I never expected more of it rather than `No' from you," he added and burst out in laugh-all in lies, to hide the pain, to look okay, and to convince himself that he's great happy with it. With its husky voice, he can hide all of his disappointment, and sadness while wearing his mask and the ability to fake all the laughs he made. "Are you...okay? You know what? There is nothing wrong with you, Uhm, you...I think you just give your heart to a person who's nit for you and don't know how to love..." She finally said it, she glances at the guy, and confusingly, he gave her a questionable look. "Why? You have a past relationship too?" He asked and she nodded, "care to spill?" With a deep breath she murmured "I...I really don't know if I'm still with him or I'm just on my own saying that we are still in a relationship.."
