Crush

When they talked, it was almost as if they've been friends for a long time. He's a nice person like that. The same way he was back in school, she remembered. The only difference now is she's grown out of the crazy rabbits-dashing-around-in-heart palpitations, queasy moths (all right, butterflies, if you wish)-in-stomach feelings when he's in the vicinity. (Well, maybe only a little, when he once casually draped his arm over her shoulder and gave her a chummy side-hug.)

He spoke about his 'her' when she prompted. No further motivation required, it rolled off his tongue (or fingers, since in this case, they were chatting on MSN), like an avalanche, all kinds of details; her name, age (Same age as us, he told her), religion, which schools she was from, that it's not yet certain between them cos' she's still pondering over whether she should go out with him... (Here, the only thing she could think about was 'Why??? What is she still considering???')

A man so obviously in love. A man so sweet (Remember to lunch, he said, twice.) he made it so hard for her to un-like him wholly. :'(
