#6 First Kiss
Elsa's POV
After school, I went to the French Baker. I work there. It's my part time job and good thing that the owner was nice. Ms. Irene is an old lady who was pretty nice and sweet. She's very kind and I wonder why she didn't marry anyone.
I don't consider her as my friend. She's more like a family to me. She's a lot like my mom. She's like my aunt.
I was organizing the bread while Alice was helping the customers.
Alice Kingsleigh was a part-timer like me. But she's younger. We never actually talked even though we've been working together for almost 6 months. So.. still not my friend. [A/N: Alice in Wonderland reference. Nyahaaha]
As I was working, images of Jack's smile pops out of my head. Making me think of him. For a moment there, I didn't mind and I don't exactly know why.
"Elsa, are you okay?" Ms. Irene said. "Your face is red."
"Eh? Am not!" I mid-shouted then went to the counter.
A man who was wearing a suit brought a tray with assorted bread went to the counter. I'd assume that this is for his family because he got many bread to buy.
"That would be fifty pesos." I said while pushing some buttons on the cashier.
"Oh, okay. Here." He gave me one hundred pesos.
"Should I put them in a single bag?"
"No, I want them to be in separate bags and can I have a separator please?"
"Okay sir."
As I was putting the assorted bread inside the plastic bag, I feel the man staring at me and I couldn't avoid the feeling so I looked at him weirdly.
"Here's your change, sir." I gave him his change which was fifty pesos but in coins. But as I was putting his change on his hand, I felt as if he caressed my hands.
He stared at the change for a moment. "Is there any problem, sir?"
He snapped. "Oh, no. I'm fine. Thank you."
He left and I saw him smirk.
Sheesh. What was that all about?
6pm
I went home after I finished my work. The streets were empty but I didn't mind at all. It can be scary but, who cares. It's not like there's something bad that's gonna happen.
As I arrived, I quickly went upstairs and changed my clothes. After that, I went to bed. I'm so tired today. I didn't mind my hunger anymore. I just wanted to rest.
Next day,
There he is again. But the annoyance from him was lessen. Maybe because he finally got the idea why I don't like being friends with him. If that's the case, then thank God.
He just greeted me and I feel like he didn't expect for me to greet him back. Which was great because everything going back to normal.
Me, the lone wolf of the school. Not interested in having any connection with others. And him, the popular guy who has the whole world bowing down on his, according to the girls, gorgeous face.
The school day ended just like any other days. I go to my work alone and I don't feel bothered by it.
Just the same day, I worked and organized the bread and stuff like that. It's just any normal day again for me.
As I was about to go home, I saw the man from yesterday. He was looking at his phone but when he saw me, he flipped the phone and put it in his pocket.
I looked at him weirdly. I saw him walking behind me and at first it wasn't weird for me. It must be a coincidence. Right? Nothing going on. He's not going to do anything. Come on, Elsa. He's a professional. He's mature to think something stupid.
But when I was already halfway to my home, the man was still following me. It's creeping me out now. What does he want?
I was already in road #7. I looked behind me and he wasn't there. Thank God.
But then, a few moments later on, he popped up out of nowhere.
Oh crap.
I ran and ran and ran until I could find some place with people on it. As I ran, I saw a convenience store near the park. I went inside and good thing that he didn't follow me inside. He was still outside.
I quickly called the landline of my house but mom wasn't answering. I tried and tried to call her. She wasn't responding to my calls. No, this can't be the right time. Mom, where are you?!
My legs are shaking. I don't know what to do. What should I do?! He's not following me, is he? It's just a coincidence. But then again, he followed me all the way here. Oh man. What should I do?
And as I thought nervously, his number popped into my mind.
His number was still in my pocket. I grabbed the paper and thought and thought.
Should I call him? Maybe he won't even answer.
It's worth a try.
Jack's POV
♬don't stop believing! Hold on to that feeling! Street lights! People!!!
Don't stop!♬
Tris finished the song. It was my turn to sing.
"Here Jack. It's your turn." Tris handed the microphone to me but my phone started ringing.
"Hold on a sec. Let me just answer this."
I saw my phone ring and read the number. It was an anonymous number.
"Hello?" There was no answer. I waited and then a familiar voice came out.
"Uuhh.." it was.. "Please. Help me."
A few minutes later
I ran to where she was. She said she was at a convenience store near road#7. As I went inside, I saw her hiding.
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"The man outside." She said nervously. "He always buys bread from my workplace. A while ago, he followed me all the way here."
"How long have you been here?"
"About half an hour."
"What?! That's stalking!"
"I don't what to do! My mom won't respond to my calls..."
I didn't hear what she said because I went to get some ice cream. It helps me cool my mind so that I could think of a plan her way out of here. And then a plan popped from my head.
Elsa approached me. "What are you doing?"
"Ice cream. It helps me think." I said then I grabbed her shoulder. "OKAY! Let's go. I have a plan."
It's showtime.
Elsa's POV
"OKAY! Let's go. I have a plan." He, then, grabbed my shoulder and we went outside. The man approached us.
"Who... who are you?" He asked Jack who was beside me.
I looked down to hide myself. What is Jack planning now?!
"Elsa.." I looked up at Jack. "I love you"
Eh?
Then suddenly..
He kissed me.
As our lips touched each other, I felt like I've seen fireworks on fourth of July, like the hot coffee in a cold weather. Like the sweet bean buns that could warm your cold hands when you're cold. Like the explosion every time an action movie ends.
Unexpectedly, I closed my eyes. Feeling the intimate moment. His tongue entered my mouth and explored within and I couldn't stop myself.
He broke off. "He's gone..." I wasn't paying much attention to what he was saying and whether the man was there or not.
I was dumbfounded, shocked, flabbergasted. It was all new to me.
"Elsa, are you alright?" He asked and was shocked. I guess he realized.
For the first time in forever, just like Anna said before.
I had...
....my first kiss.
