Chapter 6:

The boy she likes

Bitter-Sweet


Later that night, when the girls were sitting in the TV longe to watch a movie, they started talking about Ryan. 

"So you think he's Tina's boyfriend?," Aroma asked them. 

"Well, you all say Tina is too dignified to do that. So I don't think so," Alethea said, scoffing. 

"We can't just say that, you know? Everybody has somebody they like. So, it's not a big deal if Tina likes Ryan Verlice," Benedict said. 

"Even if Tina does like him, why are you guys being oh-so-devastated about it? I mean, Benny is right. She can like and love whoever she wants," Kayla said. 

"Yeah, that's kinda right. But we should ask her herself," Angelina suggested. 

"And you think she'll answer? When it comes to guys, even people like Tina can become shy and not say a single word!," Aroma said. 

The next morning at breakfast, the girls asked Tina about it. 

"So Tina, who's that Ryan? Your boyfriend?," Alethea asked her. 

"He's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend!," she said. 

"Oh, then why were you blushing so much around him?," Aroma asked. 

"There's definitely something wrong," Benny said. 

"Ok, at least explain how you met him!," Kayla suggested. 

"Ok, so the day before yesterday, when I went out at afternoon to buy some stuff for myself, I was at the shampoo and cosmetics aisle and I couldn't decide what shampoo to buy for me. But then, I saw him come up behind me and he told me that I should buy the fig and mint one. So I went with that shampoo. 

Later, I helped him walk home with all his stuff. He just had a lot of bags and I felt kinda bad for him. And then he asked me where I lived and I gave him the address and asked him to come over and have breakfast with me. Oh no, breakfast with us. And then he came the next day and he was looking so hot that I couldn't keep my calm around them.  I was just so dazed by him, the day I saw him and then he came home looking so divinely hot that I could just pass out right there," she explained. 

"Ohhhhhh............... What the fuck?," Alethea snapped. 

"Tina, are you crazy?  Did you just fell for a guy at the mart?," Aroma yelled, "I didn't expect you to fall for a shit head. You, out of all people". 

"Guys, shut up!!", she yelled at them, "All of the time I've been here, I've been worrying for you guys like a mother and I've never thought about myself or my life even once. And now that I've started to like somebody, this is what you guys say to me!?". 

On that, Tina got up, went to her room and slammed the door shut.
