Second Time

KEN ADMITTED IT

I put myself in bed, the weekend has come. Tonight there was nothing I wanted to do, Sunday night as usual watching television alone and then sleeping. Sunday nights are always boring. I stared at the ceiling of the room, letting my mind drift wherever he wanted.

Today Andres came to the office, casually he said that he was chasing a girl. He reminded me of our agreement back then, a ridiculous agreement that somehow came to mind at that time. The agreement states, whoever first married will win and the loser must give a house and luxury car for the winner as a wedding gift. I foolishly agreed to the agreement, as if it were a very easy thing. It turns out that now I know that it is very difficult to find a companion for life.

Andres has already got the girl. The man was a true single man who seemed to be abstaining from approaching women. There were many people chasing him, but none of them seemed to catch his attention. I don't know maybe the boy is too picky about women, maybe the one he's chasing now is an angel. But I'm confused, where there's an angel in Date Group's office.

I tried to pry information about who the girl was to Andres, but he wouldn't mention it. Andres the brash wanted to make me curious. But when she meets Jane, her face changes. Even though they both knew each other, the man looked very friendly to Jane. What the fuck is he, of the many women why should be with Jane he's suave. Andres even gave his sweetest smile I've never seen for any woman.

I was thinking hard, is that the girl Andres likes is Jane. I pray that I don't, I don't know why I don't want Jane to be close to Andres. I was getting annoyed that Jane also looked friendly with Andres, the girl smiled back at Andres. Seeing that my heart really felt covetous, I wanted to feel like I was slapping into Andres's face that did not stop smiling.

We had lunch at Adel's restaurant, and I watched Andres and Jane. Andres always seems to steal a glance at Jane, it's very clear he's interested in Jane. That's why I concluded that the girl who caught Andres' attention was Jane. I felt more and more arrogant with the conclusions I made myself. I looked at Jane, the girl looked ordinary to Andres. I breathed a little relief, it still seemed safe, Jane seemed uninterested in Andres.

Tonight I think about it again, especially about Jane. I felt something different when I was around that girl. I'm always happy every time I see him, there's a feeling I can't explain. It seems I have to admit that I'm in love with that girl.

I smiled as I imagined it, recalling the things that happened between us over these past few months. Silly things yet sweet in my memory, the girl made me feel anxious with her. I admit now that there is a speck of desire to have that is growing in my heart.

I remember Andres, how could we like the same girl. I certainly don't want to give in to that guy. However, I was the one who knew Jane first, and maybe I was the one who first had a taste for the girl. How can Andres and I compete healthily, and how can I win Jane's heart.

The girl looked ordinary to me, not feeling any different from her for me. That's why I'm worried that Jane might end up being attracted to Andres. If compared to Andres, obviously I am a level higher in terms of anything than the man, hmm but that's my own judgment. I should have won this competition, right?

Even though I already have all the conclusions about Andres and Jane, but I have to make sure first. I had to get Andres to tell him who the girl was that caught his attention. I'm afraid I'm wrong, I might look silly in front of Andres and be the moons of insults to the man.

The night was not yet late, I got up from my bed, snatching the jacket hanging on the shelf. Run down the stairs, get in the car and drive. I stopped in front of the multi-storey apartment where Grace and Jane lived. I don't know why I suddenly came here. I patted my forehead, I only know where this apartment building is, but I don't know which one belongs to Jane or Grace.

This apartment is a garden-type apartment, because it has a very large green yard and yard. This building if I count consists of ten levels, where the type of high building, also extends sideways and lined up attached to each other. From the outside, it looks like every floor has five apartments.

I stared at the balconies of the apartment in front of me, which belonged to Jane, I had no idea. I thought quickly, how can I meet the girl. I finally decided to call her, the best way I thought it would be best to just meet her.

"Hello." A soft voice across there.

"Jane?"

"Yes?"

"Where are you?"

"In the apartment, what's up Ken?"

"Go to your balcony."

"Just do it."

"Mmm, okay."

For a second Jane didn't make a sound, I just heard her footsteps coming from the phone. I stared at the balconies, waiting for someone to appear on one of the balconies. I saw the balcony door slowly open in one of the four-storey buildings in line three from the left. A beautiful girl I missed showed up there, she looked up at the sky.

"Ken, I've been following your words. Now what should I do? Did you tell me to look at the stars?" A voice on my phone.

"Don't look up at the sky, look down at seven."

As soon as Jane looked down and she found me, I waved at her. Jane looked a little surprised and in a split second she smiled at me. Hey, look at him really smiling at me, so sweet. I returned his smile no less wide, tonight I felt I saw something more radiant than the moon.

"Wait there." Jane's voice on the phone.

I haven't been able to answer, Jane's hung up and went back inside. I was guessing, did he just tell me to wait for him? Is he going down to see me? Instantly my heart was pounding irregularly. Am I finally going to spend the night with him tonight?

In less than fifteen minutes, I saw Jane walking slowly towards me. His face smiled at me, of course I returned his smile even though I did not know the meaning of the smile he gave me. He came up to me and stopped right in front of me.

"Ken, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you." I smile.

"Why?"

"What's wrong, are you busy tonight?"

"No." She shook her head.

"Will you take a little walk with me?"

"You." He's nodding.

I was very pleased with Jane's quick answer, without thinking she said she wanted to. He didn't ask me where I was taking him. In conclusion, he wants to go out with me, right?
