Chapter 112
“Man! You gotta shoest pour son! You have a chance! Knox excitedly tells me and I frown. What does he mean?
“You need to make yeast more. The cost is dear! Why is he speaking in ricelles
Do you realize that you’ve still being vague? What the hell do you mean I ask. The evident exciternent in his voice tells me that he’s the bearer of good news, yet he still hasn’t figured out a way to let me know what he wants to say.
“Rosie likes you!” he exclaims in a quiet voice and my eyes go wide. How is this possible? “I swear I heard her?” he asserts.
“Beard her? Who was she talking to?” I frown, still unable to wrap my mind around what I have just heard.
“Sabrina. She told her that she didn’t want to act anymore, and she was starting to develop feelings for you. She also said that she wanted to get your attention, but she didn’t know how to do it! Get my attention? She already has my undivided attention. Am 1 not making my feelings clear?
Maybe I should be more precise with my words. I need to make the first move. It’s already bad that I haven’t made a move until now, but I cannot leave her waiting any longer.
Tonight, I’m going to pour my heart out to her. This is the sign I need to tell her that I truly love her. No, I can’t tell her that I love her at first. I don’t want her to think that I’m love–bombing her. I certainly don’t want to freak her out.
“Speaking of Sabrina, I can see that you can’t keep your eyes off of her.” I smirk, looking at my best friend.
Yeah…” He awkwardly scratches the back of her neck. “I think I want to ask her out.”
“Do that. She’s single and Rosie says that she is really nice. I trust Rosie’s judgment,” I tell him.
“You trust anything Rosie says because you’re whipped!” He lightly punches my shoulder.
“Can’t wait to see you whipped as well.” I chuckle.
Rosie and I leave around nine at night. I’m glad that she had fun, but it’s easy to see how exhausted she is.
“You look sleepy,” I say as I stop at a red light.
“I usually seem sleepy when I’m out, but once I step inside my apartment, energy flows through my body and I stay awake for long afterwards,” she replies. “I want to ask you something.”
“Sure.” I nod.
“Is Knox a good guy? I saw the way he kept acting around Sabrina and I really love her and don’t want her to get hurt.” Typical Rosie. She always looks out for those she loves.
“Knox is a great guy. He’s not a player. You don’t need to worry about her when it comes to him,” I assure her. “Do you have anything to do tomorrow?” I ask her.
“I finish my lectures at one, then I’m free. Why are you asking?”
“I want to take you out,” I reply. I’m not going to sugarcoat my words anymore. I mean what I have just said. I want to take her out on a date. I thought about telling her about how I truly feel the moment we’re back. However, the more I thought about it the more I realized that she didn’t deserve a lousy love confession. She deserves the world. I’m going to take her on a date tomorrow and tell her everything I have ever felt for her.
“In this case, do you think you can take me to the Winter Amusement Park?” she shyly asks. This isn’t the plan I had in my mind, but I will do whatever she wants.

V with it my coke.” I tell her. Despite the darker, her smile doesn’t escape my notice.
