On a Monday morning, the lesson were already going on and parsley came really late after the first lesson was already over. It was now on a biology lesson, the door swag open and parsley came in a hurry.
"sorry" she said, knowing clearly well that she was interrupting the class, so she apologized. She quickly sat down and smiled at Lawrence, her sit partner.
"well, you late queen, welcome"
He joked.
"I am not late, please"
"alright, alright, don't get all over the place"
parsley smiled.
"wow, what that aromatic scent?" Lawrence quickly asked and immediately sniffed parsley's neck.
"hey!" parsley quickly snapped.
"hmm, so you are the aromatic scent?" parsley blushed.
"well, it's your favorites subject, too bad, it's not your favorite topic"
"what do you mean?" she laughed, "I told you, I like all the topic in biology"
"sorry, but I know what's in your mind, honey" parsley shot him an harsh glance.
"okay, first, never you call me honey …"
"alright, how about baby?"
"that's worst"
"sweetie?"
"no"
"Darling?"
"no!"
"peacock?"
"no"
"you are silly"
"how about, my twinkle…?"
Lawrence asked, parsley didn't snap back. She glared at him, her face plan and stoned. Lawrence himself was confused.
"are you okay?"he asked.
Parsley glared at him and blinked as if something had surprised her.lawrence tried to talk but before he could say anything parsley packed up her books and left the class. Ryan watched her go, he knew something was wrong, he stared at Lawrence ,who also had is face quizzical and so confused, he couldn't detect what went wrong with what he called her.
"did that girl just walk out of my class without permission?"
The teacher asked.
* * * * * * * * *
It was break already, most of the student where in the cafeteria ,but lezzie and parsley where standing in the hallway by their locker.parsley was packing her books into her locker.
"why did you stumped out of the class earlier this morning" lezzie asked immediately she remembered it.
"nothing much"
Lezzie shrugged and opened her own locker which was beside parsley's and admired herself in the mirror glued to her locker.
"you know, I am thinking of starting up a beauty show in the net" lezzie began.
"seriously?' parsley asked, finding the topic interesting ,lezzie noticing how excited parsley got, she continued talking.
She shot her locker closed and turned to her.
"you like the idea right?"
"yeah, it's so epic ,so, when are you starting?"
"maybe tomorrow ,you can come over to my house and…"
"I can't" parsley chimed in.
"well, why?"
"I am not sure my dad would let me leave the house again"
"but parsley…"
"just do the video and any time it's ready, you can always send it to me " parsley said. lezzie frowned and walked out on parsley.
"I am sorry I lied to you lezzie, I can step out of my house but I don't want to come in between you and Ryan, Ryan might be in your house when I arrive"
Parsley thought in her mind. She sighed , closed her locker and turned to go , but instead, she hits her head on a guy's muscular chest, she gasped.
"sorry ," she said as she rose up her head and it was Lawrence.
"parsley are you okay?" he asked calmly, but parsley didn't respond, she looked away from him. Lawrence gently brought her face to him with his hands.
"did I hurt you?" he asked, he was really desperate to know what he did, parsley still did not respond.
"no" she spoke up after a while of silence.
"but you behaved really weird today when I was talking to you"
"well…" parsley sighed as she moved a little bit away from him. He came closer. parsley looked up to him.
"well" she continued. "I… had a boyfriend before…"
"so?"
" his name is Daniel, he never calls me pet names like you do, I guess you kind of made me remember him, so…"
"oh, I am genuinely sorry…"
"Lawrence I am really lucky to have met you, I mean, it's a privilege to be called twinkle by a cute guy" she said with an assuring smile plastered on her face. Lawrence felt a tickle at his cheek and he smirked a little. Just then he looked away, he was blushing but he didn't want parsley to see him. But when he turned back to talk to her she was gone.after the talk with Lawrence , parsley went to the cafeteria for lunch, she headed straight to the counter to order.
"hallo, mama!" she greeted with a cheerful smile.
"oh, parsley girl, how do you do?" she asked returning back with a cheerful face.
"I am doing good"
"so? Smoothie as always or you got a new favorite"
"yeah, soda, chilled soda, along with French fries, the classy one, I would pay" a voice said, beside parsley.
Parsley was so shocked, she turned her face up and saw Ryan interrupting her orders, she winced, making her face look serious.
"k k" mama said as she began to gather up the order in which Ryan laid.
Ryan turned to parsley and winked at her with a troublesome smile. Try to pull my legs right?!, parsley thought, she threw her face back to what mama was doing.
"you barged out of class today, why?" he suddenly asked. Parsley didn't want to talk to Ryan, she might snatch him from lezzie without knowing, she thought, so, she didn't want to talk to Ryan at all.
"hey, I am talking to you" Ryan approached her again. Parsley suddenly walked out on him, and out of the cafeteria in fact. Ryan was astonished, he automatically fell dumb stuck, this was like a blow to him without answering his questions. He blinked for a moment to make sure that this was true.
"ugh…" mama exclaimed after seeing what happened.
Ryan shut her an eye, sighed and walked away in great anger and disappointment.
"Ryan dear, how about your orders" mama yelled.
"let me have it, he would pay" Mandy said, as she came out of nowhere taking the tray of Ryan's order. For some reason, Ryan didn't notice it but went out of the cafeteria.
Parsley went into the class room and saw Lawrence starring into thin air and was totally blushing. She came closer and finally sat down beside him, still the guy was totally lost in thoughts. She cleared her throat intentionally and just then, he recovered himself.
"god!" he shouted as he turned to see parsley sited beside him.
"yeah, I was here for a long time" she snapped glaring at him. Lawrence sniffed in deeply like he wanted to say something.
"you know I couldn't stop thinking about what you told me earlier, not quit earlier today…" parsley nodded.
"and…, since I met you at the door, I took you as a nice girl and pretty…and beautiful… social… gorgeous… adorable"
Parsley felt a blush coming up. She felt like, If he said any other word now, she any other word now, she's definitely going to burst.
"…twinkle" he continued, but didn't finish his statement, parsley just did it, she just have too, she blushed a little, that her chin nearly covered her eyes and her pink little lips spreading round her face and her eyes being more cuter and her skin glittering up suddenly.
Lawrence starred into her face and he wanted to say something.
"well" he finally said, "well, I …" just then, the door swag open and all the student of the class gushed in, behind them was their teacher and everyone settled down , parsley really wanted to know what Lawrence had in mind, the teacher began to teach .as Ryan came in his face looked really furious, he locked eyes with parsley and parsley quickly looked away before any one could notice. Ryan face flushed already red, he angrily walked to his seat and sat ,and it made a crackly sound. After the class, Lawrence and parsley walked down the hallway together .
"hmm.., parsley, I was thinking, can we like, hmm…, like, go out together,one day, or something like that?"Lawrence asked shyly.
"are you shy to ask me out?"
"what?, no, no ,not at all"
Parsley smiled, "anyways, I can always go out with you"
"seriously?"
"of course"
"okay, alright. Hmm…, how about eleven, this night?"
"then it's a date"
"phew, thank you" as they spoke, parsley's driver zoomed in,
"I would be going now" parsley said as she pecked Lawrence on the cheek and left. It was not like nobody saw them, a lot of people around saw them but among those people was Ryan, he was at the class room window watching every single thing.
At night, Lawrence waited for so long at the park, he was already suspecting that parsley would not come, he kept on checking his wrist watch for the time and it just keeps getting late. He walked out of the park in haste as if he was angry and fed up. He chewed his fingers as he murmured something to himself over and over again.
Just then, something flashed at him, a bright light, he quickly turned and it was the indicator of a black flashy car approaching his way.
just then, it packed at at corner and parsley hoped out of the car. She looked really stunning, she was on a black sleeveless girdle slinky gown, it had a wide u-cut and fitted her so. Lawrence cleared his throat, already getting nervous and seriously sweating all of a sudden. Parsley finally reached him.
"parsley…"he wanted to begin but parsley immediately chimed in.
"I know, I know, I know, I came late and that was totally out of plan, please don't be mad at me, I am sorry"
Lawrence took in a deep breath, "it's okay, I am not mad at you"
"seriously?"
"yeah"
"thanks" parsley hugged Lawrence, " so, why are we here, dinner, party, club ,which one are we doing…."
"I love you!" Lawrence suddenly announced, it was awkwardly said ,that parsley thought he was joking,
"what?"
Parsley was froze, she couldn't feel herself again,
" I am sorry, that didn't came out well as i practiced"
"so, it was a mistake?"
"no, it's not a mistake, I mean it, I truly…"
"yeah, I heard that"
Parsley smiled, as she glared straight to his face.
"can I show you something?"lawrence asked.
"sure, is it now or…"
"just close your eyes" Lawrence said, parsley closed her eyes and Lawrence walked her gently into the park. When they reached a spot, Lawrence paused.
"we are here" Lawrence said. parsley slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was breath taking. Her eyes begun to glitter, filled with surprises, she kept on gasping and was dumbstruck. The children reserve in the park was well decorated .surrounded with lighted candles and a huge love shape at the middle , made out of roses. On the other side was bunch of white flowers and red balloons , it was colorfully glittered. Cute bubble roamed about. It was as if the moon and the stars saw what was going on and it came out in full glory. Parsley turned to Lawrence astonished, she gasped again when Lawrence brought up a bunch of flower to her. She took it and hugged Lawrence tightly, Lawrence gladly hugged her back, after a long hug, Lawrence excused himself as parsley still glared around smiling and blushing sheepishly, "twinkle" someone called from behind, parsley turned and saw Lawrence carring strawberry cake in his hands. parsley almost cried.
"why is it that boys like you are really hard to find?" parsley asked playfully. Lawrence simply smiled.
"thanks a lot, Lawrence"
"it's my pleasure.
After some while, they sat on a trolley wolly, parsley's rested her head on his shoulders as he held her hands, and they looked at the stars.
"you know at home, I kidda had a feeling that this night would be blessed" parsley said.
"and how did that turn out?" Lawrence asked.
Parsley chuckled.
"oh," Lawrence suddenly snapped.
"I forgot" he said as he brought out a pink teddy bear holding a red rose and handed it over to parsley.
"awwuh! She exclaimed, "you are so nice"
She sniffed it and blushed giving him a cute smile. Just then her phone rang, it was her father calling. She glared at her phone and sighed.
"my father, I should get going" she said.
Lawrence nodded, kind of disappointed.
"well, this night was fun.." parsley began, "and I love everything you did for me, thanks" she said, as she slowly jammed her lips with Lawrence's lips. Lawrence didn't know what was happening, he was taken unawares, but he knows for sure that what he felt inside of him he have never felt it before. After a short kiss, parsley withdrew and intended to stand up, but Lawrence kissed her back, he had too, as he drove his lips slowly against hers and licked her lips lyrically. Parsley didn't want to stop, not for a second as she felt her mouth filled with his tongue and she passed her fingers through his hair like a brush and caressed her hand at his chest, Lawrence withdrew and starred into her eyes. Parsley didn't know what to say as she glared back at his face.
"well" she finally broke the silence
"I gotta go, my dad is waiting" she said, as she took up her purse and her teddy out of the park and into her car and zoomed off.
