Chapter 13: don't want to pretend that nothing happened
He was hugging her tightly this time and gave her a small peck on the forehead before speaking softly "thank you Marga.", he then let her go and looked at her one last time before returning to his makeshift bed. He wanted to tell her a lot of things, of why he suddenly made a move to kiss and hug her, even though everything happened so fast, he never regretted his actions even for one second. In fact his knees were still shaking that's why he needed to hug her to get support, and wanting to steady himself, he immediately turn around lay down on his bed.
With his heart still beating fast, he took a glance at the girl who remained frozen in place, her face turning scarlet red, wondering to himself if he moved too fast or if he made the girl angry by what he just did. So anxiously, he stood back up and when he was about to approach Marga, she suddenly turned her back against him and covered herself with a blanket. Feeling utterly lost, he has no choice but give the girl some space and return to his own bed while not taking his eyes from her.
Under the covers of her blanket, Marga was then able to breathe, woaah, what just happened, she felt her face burning while the image of Stephen kissing her popped up. She touched her lips, and closed her eyes trying to remember what happened, then pinched herself to check if she was dreaming, uuuggghh, the part of check is now swollen because she pinched it so hard. So she was not dreaming, it really did happen, Stephen did really kissed her, not only that, he also hugged her tightly, it felt like her heart would explode by the sudden mixed emotion that she feeling right this instant. Remembering the scene from a while ago, she can't help but smile to herself but also felt a little disappointed about the way she reacted, I mean how can she just stay frozen in place at that time.
They were both restless in the remainder of the night, soon enough it was already morning and the time for them to face each other again. Would they pretend that it never happened, I mean would he ignore me and pretend that it was all a dream, Marga thought while slowly getting up. As much as she wants to lie in bed the whole day, she still needs to do her morning chores for the orphanage, so she hurriedly left their room while Stephen was still sleeping. Unknowingly, Stephen did not sleep a wink the whole night, he was also thinking as to how he will move forward from what had happened, he don't want to pretend that nothing happened, it was his first kiss, and he wants to give it to someone special, and Marga is really special to him from the moment that he laid eyes on her.
Sensing that the girl already left their room, he immediately stood up and decided on how he can talk to Marga about what had happened last night, he wants them to be on the same page. He has decided on what he wants for both of them to happen, he promised his mother that he will only love one person on this lifetime, but the word "wife" is too much and they are still young too, he wants her to be the "girlfriend" first, but how can clarify their new relationship without scaring the girl. So even if he is a bit hesitant, he reached for his phone and dialed his brother's number. "Hello Tom, I need your help."
