3.3 The confrontation

When Victoria came back to the exec office, I asked her to bring Katharine and Lisa with her. Well, it was very obvious that I like him. He would have known by now. Crystal also knows about my crush on Christian. So Jane and Victoria also suggested that I should ask him out for a coffee. My first answer was no because I was too scared for that. I'm not used to being the first person to ask someone out. But after talking to Gary for an hour, I gathered my courage to ask him.

Wednesday came. After class, I went to bulk barn to get candy for candy grams. We were selling them for Valentine’s Day. I was rushing to get back to the office before Christian left for his soccer game. I told him that I wanted to talk to him. He got ready with his jacket and his bag on his hands, and followed me to a corner on the 3rd floor that I now call my corner since I'm the Mathsoc's sexy whore. This happened during a game of clue earlier in the term. I was so excited to be Scarlett and that's why I called myself the Mathsoc's sexy whore. I also have a pimp, Victoria.

“So we are in a corner now?” he said jokingly.

I kept on laughing and couldn’t be serious for a few seconds. I was too shy to ask him.

“Do you know what am I going to say?”

“I’m not a psychic but I think I have an idea of what you’re going to say”

“Okay. Remember that time you said you would go out with me if I tell you that I like you?"

He smiled and hinted for me to continue what I wanted to say.

"I like you. Would you have coffee with me on Friday?”

I stuttered. I was terrified of him saying no. It took him a while to answer me.

“Yes, but I don’t think I can do it on Friday because I already have plans. Maybe on Saturday. I have your cell phone number right. I’ll tell you when.”

I said "okay". I was smiling and jumping happily inside my heart. I didn't know what else to say to him at that moment. So then I asked him about his orientation interview for this year’s orientation week. He didn’t have an appointment but I do. He was scared if something was wrong with his application but I told him not to worry. Then he said “see you later” since he had to leave for his soccer game and I also told him to come back after his game because I need him to come back after his soccer game for signing the inventory list. We have to do inventory every Wednesdays; me, Christian, and Randy. This time, Christian had to ditch, so it was only me and Randy. Once he started walking, I told him good luck for his soccer practice.
