Story 2 : The Poet

Coffee is so good! The taste wont let go of my tongue! I really love it! She’s really good at it making coffee. I take a look outside the window. I can see a beautiful field. I can see some farmers walking and waving at each other.

The birds are flying with the same directions. They look so cute together. Ahh! Nature!

I open my notebook and grab my pen. Took a bite of my chocolate and swallow it without chewing. I can feel how rough the chocolate inside my throat. Geez. That’s actually a bad idea.

Who should I write now? Then suddenly I saw something passed by. A bookstore.

His name is Miguel. A guy who loves poetry. I met him somewhere during my expedition but I can’t remember what library it is. All I remember is I met him when I have no other seat inside the library and he let me sit with him.

Miguel is a gentle and honest guy. So I started talking to him even though I know it is annoying if you’re reading something and some random person started talking to you.

First I introduced myself to him that I am an author. I want to write books about other people and surprisingly he agreed. Such a good person.

And so here we go.

Miguel is a calm person, black hair with blue eyes. Those eyes are charming. He even gave me a cute smile appearing his dimples. Miguel is actually my type of guy but this is not the reason why I talked to him.

So Miguel used to do poet for someone he likes.

“Soft as clouds

Far as the stars

Beautiful as goddess

But you’re the girl I would missed”

“Well that’s depressing?” Said Ashley, Miguel’s bestfriend then suddenly patted his shoulder.

Ashley is a cheerful girl, has a red hair and red eyes. You can see her as adorable or cute.

Miguel just nodded and scratched his head.

“I know right?” He agreed.

Ashley used her full forced to jump and about to land to Miguel’s bed. All of his pillow started flying around the room and Ashley’s laugh can be heard throughout the room.

“I love your bed so much!” Ashley shouted while doing an angel thing.

“Uhm. People might get a wrong idea?” Miguel said with a calm voice.

“Owh! You’re right hehe sorry about that” She said then giggles.

Without them being warned someone entered the room. It was Miguel’s mother holding a tray with a cup of hot chocolate and a lot of cookies.

“What do you mean you love Miguel’s bed so much? Both of you are not doing something weird right?” Asked Miguel’s mother with a smirk on her face.

“Well mother! Do you know that Miguel has a crush on someone!” Report Ashley.

Ashley and Miguel’s mother are actually close that is why she calls her ‘mother’. Miguel and Ashley became best friends since they were a little kid that is why his mother truly trust Ashley so much.

“Is that so?” His mother teased with a smile on her face.

“Yes mother! He became weird since we attend a battle of the band! I truly believe that he really likes the Lisa girl!” Ashley continued.

“So who’s this Lisa?”

“Lisa is one of the campus crush inside our school! She’s really beautiful and smart and everything!” Shouted Ashley.

“Calm down honey, you sounds jealous” Miguel’s mother giggles.

“N-No Mother!” Argued Ashley with a stuttering voice.

“Are you sure?” Teased Miguel’s mother while she’s about to close the door’s room.

“Oh come on mother! I thought we’re teammates?!” Cutely shouted Ashely then pouted.

After she left the room is completely quiet and empty. Despite of how Ashely keeps on teasing Miguel it seems like he is not affected.

Ashley sits properly from Miguel’s bed and started staring at him while Miguel’s is continue writing his poem. The longer she stares at Miguel the more her heart races. She’s been in love with her best friend since the day they met.

She is too afraid to admit it because she might be rejected. Especially now that she saw how Miguel smile the night they went to the battle of the band.

Ashley never saw her best friend smiles that way. Not even to her.

She’s a lucky girl.

“Everything alright?” Asked Miguel without looking at her.

“Huh? Uhm. Nothing actually”

“I heard you sighed so I thought something might be wrong” He continued.

They know each other well. But not all of it.

“Done! Hey how about another try? Can you read it for me?” Asked Miguel using his blue charming eyes.

“Okay then” She replied.

“Beautiful as the moon,

Strong as the sun.

My heart began to speak,

And my eyes stops to seek.

I found you.

Is it luck or fate?

All I have is faith.

So I leave it to you.

Hoping you love me too.

Leaving everything,

Everything but not you.

Yelling-

I love you. “

Ashely read it without energy and gave it back to Miguel. “Lisa will love it” she said.

Then-

“Have you read the first letters before the last stanza?” Miguel asked then return the paper to Ashley.

Then everything stops.

Ashley’s eyes became red. Her tears are about to go down. Even her voice is cracking. Then suddenly Miguel grabs the paper and look straight at her.

“Then let me read it for you”

Ashely froze for a second and Miguel stares at her.

“Ashley I love you”

Ashley’s tears began to fall and felt the warm lips of Miguel.

“I love you too” she replied.

Miguel used his energy to put down Ashley into his bed and asked-

“Heard you love my bed?”

Ashley just smiled and kiss Miguel’s lips.

-End

Apparently Ashely got the wrong idea about the battle of the band. Miguel was smiling because he was looking at Ashley the whole time.

He was so in love that he can’t keep his lips like usual. Miguel’s lips begun to smile because of Ashley.

After leaving and thanking Miguel. There’s something he told me that I’ll never forget.

“A poetry is a heart’s unspoken words”

And with that I knew. Ashley is a lucky girl.
