Chapter 30 (1/1)

Day by day, a week was gone, then a whole month, Tiffany and I were having the time of our life, sneaking off to the park at the edge of the morning. Taking turn in which apartment to sleep, waking up with a smile in our face. Always sharing a good morning.  I never thought I was going to be that kind of person that it’s willing to share every single detail with a special one, or to bought another pair of tooth brush just because I wanted to do it with her or to actually prepare breakfast or lunch. I never bothered doing it with Donghae, but then again, I wasn’t in love. I didn’t know what was love; true love. Sunny’s weeding was coming soon enough, she was all over edge of a breakdown, so it was her soon to be wife and I was just too excited to be there with Tiffany. I can’t even look at you now. You are doing a calamity Sooyoung.- I don’t really care Hyo, I’m getting married in less than a week! A week! Oh my God what I got into!?- I chuckled seeing her passing back and forth with a can of pickles, eating it like nothing.  I know you are nervous but why the pickles? - I asked her but she just shrugged continuing eating. She and Hyo carried talking about some random topic. I just thought how nice was Hyoyeon trying to light her up a little bit.  I never thought I would see that giraffe be so nervous. - Yuri said while she pull up a chair to sit down near me. We both saw one more time at Sooyoung, we chuckled. Later on my eyes lean on Taeyeon that until now was just quiet, drinking the same cup I served her like an hour ago.  Her family is going through a hard time. - Yuri said answering the question made in my head.  Her dad? - I guessed, I saw her nodding.  He is sick, I don’t know of what but it seems pretty bad.-  I should say something to her.-  Maybe but you know how she is. Don’t show pity.- Nodding I stood up walking to her. Hey there, everything it’s ok? - I whispered to Taeyeon who just looks startled for a second but she nodded. Everything its fine Jess.-  Are you sure? You haven’t say anything.-  I’m not a talkative person. - I smiled understanding I wasn’t going to get anything from her even though I tried to search for something else to say until I saw her jacket hanging on one of the chair near us. Do you remember when we went to the fair? - She looked surprised but her chuckles came faster. Yeah, I wouldn’t forget about it even if I wanted to. I spend the night washing my jacket from your vomit.-  Right, I forgot about that. Sorry about it. - I said blushing of embarrassed. She let out a small laugh. Its ok, you bought me a candy cotton, remember? The night end well.-  Yu are such a child. - She stuck out her tongue. “Very mature of you.” How is your dad? I never had the chance to ask you when you came back.- He is fine. - A short answer, she did not wanted to say more and I knew something was there. You say you were going to stay with him a week but you came back three days later.- Yeah, change of plans. -  Her eyes were glued to the floor, I tried to say something but I didn’t.  I’m ok Jess, really. I just need some time to clear my mind. -  She smiled before excusing herself, going out the kitchen, my intention was to follow her but Yuri show up, holding my arm. If she want to share she will, you know her, we can’t force her to talk to us. - I couldn’t help but to sigh at her answer, she was right indeed, Taeyeon was one of those person who care a lot about privacy and always trying to be reserved about her feelings. I’m freaking now! I’m going to marry!! Can’t believe this!- In other hand, Taeyeon could wait a little bit; my priority now was Sooyoung. Easy girl, we are going to be there with you. -  I saw how Hyoyeon despite always scolding the tall girl, she was always the one who take care of her. Well, I would like to keep staying here but my girl is waiting for me. - Yuri said grabbing her purse ready to go out. So, you and Yoona are for real? - She chuckled almost laughing. We walk out the kitchen to her car.  I don’t know; she is fascinated and funny and pretty and totally a smartass.- What else do you need? - I asked her, because honestly I have never understand her why she ditch so many girls before, some of them were good girls. She doesn’t want to sleep with me until we settle down.- Well, that’s understandable.- I guess but you know me, anyway, talk to you later, get inside, I don’t want you to catch a cold.- See you tomorrow Yuri and don’t be a jerk.-  Ha-ha to you Jess.-  It was chilly outside; the cold winter was passing but still remaining with us. I saw Yuri leaving and a few seconds later Hyoyeon and Sooyoung were outside with their jackets on. We are leaving boss! - Hyoyeon, my blonde friend said before running to what it seems was a taxi. You will be ok? - Sooyoung asked as we both saw the blonde girl leaving.  Why are you asking? - I’m just. So listen I need someone to help me at the wedding since Sunny and I will be so busy. Her family is not from here and I wanted them to feel welcome so I was wondering if you could entertain them.- Me? Why me? You know I don’t really talk much. - She chuckled nodding. I know but from among all, you are the sanest. I don’t want Taeyeon, no offense but the girl is like a zombie in all the parties and is for sure I don’t want Hyoyeon to be with them, I mean have you see her dance. I don’t want that kind of embarrassment and Yuri, well she would do anything to sleep with Sunny’s cousin; she is so hot! - Does Sunny knows about you being all over her cousin? - Easy, just because I’m going to marry doesn’t mean I can’t check out people. - I’m pretty sure that Sunny would be pissed. - I love her, she doesn’t need to worry. Anyway can you do that for me? - I guess I could do it but I’m not better than them.- I know, thank God you have Tiffany with you, she could do all the talk, you just stay there like the pretty princess you are.- Why you!-See you tomorrow boss!-  I saw her leaving, running from me, in a brief moment I was alone in the parking lot but not too far from me I saw my girlfriend waving me, smiling like always.  The parking lot wasn’t that gloomy anymore. Was it fun? - I asked her reaching for her hand and she gladly intertwined our fingers. She was smiling but still could see her eyes all tired. It was but damn that girl is way too much for shopping and it’s me who is saying that.- She giggled and just when she stopped doing it, she kiss my lips and it was just then that I realized how much I missed her. “You taste good.” She told me giving one last peck before going for our usual walk. _________________________________________________________________________ Being once again at my apartment made me feel a little bit lonely, something I haven’t feel since I was with Donghae, Krystal wasn’t at home. I guess she was with her boss. That girl and I need to talk about it.  It was raining, something weird for the season. Sure thing tomorrow was going to be a cold one.  With nothing else to do I started cleaning the place, putting away stuff I didn’t need o wouldn’t use for now, I arranged all in boxes. I was in my desk checking out the notes, paper and all the garbage I piled up when I notice an advertisement. It was for that social line, the strange way to meet people online. I recall when I heard Tiffany’s voice, she was so sweet, I didn’t do a good work talking but she was all optimistic, trying to keep the conversation up.  I guess I should thank her about that too.- But then I remember it was for me that she lost her job, she choose me over that and the fact that she is now working on something else when I know she prefer working helping others, I couldn’t help but feel bad. She has been nothing but really sweet to me, while I, myself, I have been a totally selfish, keeping secrets, no telling her about that woman who was determined to be with me, that woman and my crazy mother. But she understand me, no matter what, Tiffany didn’t flinch or run away from me, instead she held my hand.  I should do something magical for her.- But what could I possibly do that englobes all my love, all my gratitude to her.  I need to think about this very well.- I grabbed my cell looking for her pic in my gallery, that beautiful smile of her was all I need for now. I forget everything I was doing before, I didn’t care anymore. “I’m too lucky” I said resting my head on my pillow still looking at her picture. “Way too lucky.”
