Arm's POV

Two weeks later...

"Ai Tay!"

I slightly hit Tay's head with his papersheets, as soon as I reached the place where he's sitting with his friends.

"Auch! Ai Arm. That's hurt.", Tay hissing in pain while looking at me.

"I told you not to forget your things. How many times should I tell you? Huh?!", I said. Tay was just listening with his mouth pouting.

"Er.. I'm sorry.", Tay replied.

"Say sorry then do it again."

Tay grinned. I just let a heavy sigh and slightly shook my head. I took a sit besides him. Tay looked at me than lightly tap my shoulder.

"What's wrong?", He asked.

"Nothing.", Shortly replied.

Tay sighed then rolled his eyes. "Hmm.. I have know you like over 10 years. I can read your face easier than reading this whole damn book of business management."

I blankly looked at Tay. He shook his head. "Ai Arm.

"Is it obvious?", I asked.

"Erm.", Tay replied while nodded his head.

I just kept silent. It's not that I don't want to share my problems with Tay, but I don't know where to start. I know Tay wouldn't let me acting off like this for a very long time. I just.. don't know how to tell him. Me myself wasn't clear about my own feelings.

It is like, I feel good that Pol didn't come and bother me anymore but at the same time, I couldn't help myself not to think about him. Somehow it irritates me that I couldn't hear his voice calling my name and asking me about books, this or that. I am just confused.

"Er. It's okay if you're not ready. I won't force you to say it. Just tell me if you couldn't handle it yourself. I'm here.", Tay said. He gave me a warm smile. I just nodded my head.

After talking with him a few times I leave the faculty building. I was so into my thoughts that I didn't realize I would bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry.", I apologize.

"It's okay krub.", The person said. I lift my head to see the guy with quite longer hair was smiling at me. "Just be careful. You might bumped into other person again."

"Yes. Thank you.", I replied.

"Ai Big! Come quick!", Suddenly a guy from distance shouting. I saw there are some other guy standing together with him.

"Er! A minute!", He shouted back, responding to his friends. He looked at me while giving me a smile. "Excuse me na krub."

I just wai at him. After that he left then run to his friends. I saw them walking away. Before I could started walking again, I halted when I realized someone familiar is standing not far from me. His gaze fixed on me. After a second he slowly walked towards me. No smile. No voice come out from his mouth.

I was slightly flinched when he suddenly squatted after he get close to me. I saw his hands tying my shoelace. Since when it was untied?

"Why don't you tie your shoelaces properly? You'll fall if you step on it."

The thing is, my heart suddenly beating faster than usual just by hearing his voice. Damn it! What is actually I want?

Pol stood up straight after he tied my shoeless. He slightly smiled at me. "Be careful next time."

"Thank you."

Thank you? Just 'thank you'? I know you wanted to say something else. Arm! You're a coward!

Pol nodded. I just watched him leaving me there.

Why can't I say anything?

~°°~

I took a sip of the beer that Tay pour into the glass. I looked at Tay who is talking and laughing with his friends. They don't have class tomorrow and usually them come to this bar to hang out. Tay took me along tonight with the reason so I could clear up my mind for a bit.

Ai' Tay. I have to work tomorrow.

I shouldn't get drunk then.

"Arm.", Tay called my name. "I will stay at Time's room tonight. Can you go home by yourself?"

These love birds.

"Erm. It's okay. I can go home alone.", I replied. Tay nodded.

After staying for a little bit more, I decided to go home.

I was waiting outside the bar, hoping that I will get a cab or a taxi. I can feel the night breeze blowing softly. I crossed my arms into my body, feeling a little bit cold. Now I regret not wearing a long sleeves. A minute after, suddenly someone put a jacket, covering my body.  I almost jumped and shocked by that person's action. I was about to take it off not until I saw who is the person and I called out his name.

"Pol!"

"Why don't you wear something warm? You know it's going to be cold at night.", He said.

I didn't replied. My hands gripped the jacket tightly. I can smell his perfume on it and starting to mix with mine. Pol didn't talk again. It's getting silent. I don't know why, even the music from inside the bar couldn't be heard. All I hear is my heartbeats and his breath. It's keep going for about five minutes.

"It's getting late. Come. I'll take you home.", He suddenly said.

"It's okay. I'll take a taxi.", I refused.

There you go again, Arm. Denying!

Pol let out a sigh. "It's hard to find one. Just come with me."

He grabbed my hand and dragged me to his car. I couldn't say anything. He's so serious and that made me a little scared and worried. He then asked me to get inside the car. I couldn't refused so I just do as he want. We were both in the car. He just start the car engine but still didn't drove.

Oh right! He don't know where I live. Don't him?

"I..."

"I'm sorry, Arm.", I wasn't able to finish my words when suddenly Pol talked.

I looked at him. Our eyes locked. I can see his forehead slightly frowned.

"For what?", I asked.

"I couldn't keep my promise. I said I will not bother you anymore but I can't."

I kept silent. Yeah. You're liar!

"I'm sorry. I know you will hate me even more now. But I just couldn't stay away from you. I'm sorry."

Say it now Arm! Or else.

"Apologies one more time. I will hate you for real.", I finally replied.

Pol stunned and his eyes fixed on me. "Huh?"

Idiot!

"You.. I don't know what is this feelings but since you stop looking for me, I feel empty. I always waiting for you to come to me. Call me. But you didn't. I was confused at first but now, I couldn't deny or pretend not to care about what I feel anymore. The last time we met again, the way how crazy my heart went made me more sure how I feel. ", I took a deep breath before continue what I was saying. "Will you responsible for making me feels this way towards you? Will you take care of my heart?"

Silence.

Damm! My heart beating faster than usual. Is it going to explode?

"Why don't you say anything Pol?", I asked. I think I'm going crazy.

Ai Pol!!! I'll kill you if you say something bad.

"Can I kiss you?"

My eyes widen. I wasn't able to answer when he suddenly cupped my face and took his face closer to mine. Within a second, I can feel him pressing his lips on mine. I was shocked at first, but the way he softly kissed me made me calm. He break the kiss and resting his forehead upon mine. His hand softly caressing my cheek.

"So, were boyfriends now?", He asked after distance our faces from each other.

I can feel my face getting hot. Is his car air-conditioning didn't work well?

I saw his smirking face teasing me. I slowly pushed him away.

"Dare to ask. I'm taking back my word.", I said. Pretend to be angry.

No! I just trying to cover my shyness.

Pol laughed. "I'm kidding."

He slowly reached for my hand and hold it tight. He looked at me, straight into my eyes. His smile somehow calm me down.

"I promise to take care of you. I will never leave you. I love you, Arm."

I slightly smiled back. Nodded my head. He kissed the back of my hand and caressed it.

This is how love feels like? This good? I wish this feelings stay like this forever.
