096. "I like you. I like you. I like you.", Henry/Zhou-Mi
"I love you.~ No that's too upfront.... I like you.~ I like you. I li- AH! I CAN'T DO THIS!" I said, as I attacked the bed leg.
I let out huge sigh. Words weren't my strong point.
Wish I could read minds or something. Then I wouldn't have to be practicing how to say this in the middle of my bedroom like a complete idiot. I just wanted to know how he felt about me.
Hearing a knock on the door made me jump a little.
"Hey, you okay in there?" He said in Chinese.
I already knew who it was. Hangeng, Zhou Mi and I were the only ones who talked in Chinese in the dorm.
The knock was enough to make me physically jump, but his voice was the only one that could have made my heart jump. That's how bad it was.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I don't think I sounded that convincing.
"Okay, just let me know when you wanna tell me the truth." I heard footsteps leave.
His comment made a little scared just now. He would always use that playful tone, but when he said "tell me the truth", made my heart jump a whole different way. I'm sure he ment tell him why I was yelling and kicking in my room. It was amazing how he could read people, though. That, or I sucked at acting too.
As I walked out of my room, I saw him in the living room watching TV. He looked a lot like me. Tank top, with PJ pants on.
"Where is everyone else?" I knew their schedules would have started by now, I just couldn't think of anything else to say.
"They're all out doing their schedules." He said, flipping through channels.
"Why did you come back early?" I was actually curious, I didn't except anyone to come home for at least another two hours, thats why I was practicing.
"I didn't. I was here all morning."
That made me go into shock for a brief second. I didn't my room since I woke up at 8, so I had no idea. If I knew he was home, I wouldn't have been practicing how to say "I love you" to him at all.
"So, are you going to tell me the truth now or not?" He said, turning the TV off to look at me.
I had to think of something quick. "Oh, that?" I started, pointing to my room. "I just couldn't find my... shirt. That why I'm wearing this." I said, pulling at the tank top.
"Really? Then why were you saying "I like you" a million times in there?" Nodding his head towards my room.
I froze. I looked down at my feet so I wouldn't have to look at him.
I couldn't think of anything to say. I couldn't think at all! My mind went blank.
He was chuckling at the expression on my shocked face. I could feel the blood rushing up.
When he got up, I whimpered a little, stumbling back like a scared puppy. It was really stupid and random and I don't know why I did it in the first place.
He was getting so amused at my embarrassment that he was playing with me now.
"So, who were you practicing for?" He asked, sarcastically, leaning on one foot with his hands shoved into his pockets.
I didn't say anything.
"Why don't you try practicing with me?" He was smiling out of enjoyment. "Come here. Try saying it to my face."
I couldn't hold it back. Something about his smile just made everything funnier. I started laughing too.
"I like you." I finally breathed out.
"What? I can't hear you. Speak up." He was still playing with me.
"I like you!" I spoke up, still smiling. It made my heart quiver because I've said it that loud before. I felt a lot lighter though.
He smiled even wider now.
Walking towards me, he held his hands wide out and hugged me.
"Now, was that so hard to say to my face?" He whispered in my ear.
I gulped. This is the closest I've been to him in a while.
He chuckled again.
We stayed like that for a long while until he finally let go.
"I'm gonna go make some brunch."
I watched him walk towards the kitchen until he stopped right in the door way.
"Oh, by the way," he said turning around to look at me, "I like you too."
He smiled, winked, then went into the kitchen.
