I watched as Adel wiped the imaginary sweat from her brow. Her face seemed to be more relaxed than ever, with a blooming smile plastered right on it. But now I wonder what she will do from here. She just confessed to me, and to be honest, I do not want to turn her down because I know it will hurt her, but I can not lie to her when I do not feel anything at this time that goes so far as to say that I love her.

“Ah!” Adel’s voice broke my train of thought, causing me to look right at her. “While I now know I love you, I am well aware that you have no plans for a relationship. I know this because I have been watching you this entire time. You reject any notion of love that is beyond friendship. But that does not mean I will give up easily. One day I will make you look my way. Until then, I will continue to love you as I have. Although I will do my best not to act like I have….”

Adel paused as she leaned down and hugged me. “But please never forget that my love for you is real.” With that, and without me being able to answer her, she turned and left the office, leaving me behind to sit there in a mix of my own emotions.

“She is like a whirlwind.” Annie’s voice entered my ear, but I was still in a daze. “Boss? Your face is red…. Don’t tell me you….”

“No! I am just… I mean, she kissed me! That was my first kiss!” I cried out as I held my head in my hands. So embarrassing!

“Hehe, to think Boss was a maiden at heart,” Annie said teasingly.

“Annie, no pay for a month….” I mumbled

“What!? So mean!” Annie cried out, causing me to smile. I looked at her and stuck out my tongue.

“Go take a break. I will continue here.” I said with a smile. Annie always works hard, so she deserves a break. “Oh! I heard there was a new cake shop in the center. Take a carriage and go check it out.”

“Cake!? Hehe… It only takes one taste, and I will figure out the ingredients! I will be off. Boss, don’t work too hard!” I chuckled as I watched Annie rush out the door. She did not love cooking. What she loved was stealing other people’s recipes and making them her own. She has a bad habit of going to fancy restaurants and eating all their expensive meals and then remembering the taste.

I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes. I wonder if Adel will change now. Or if she will still be the same. If anything, I do hope her jealous rampages will end now. I yawned as I leaned back in my chair. I closed my eyes to rest them for a few seconds….

“Faith! What do you think!?” Adel’s voice entered my ears. I opened my eyes to see Adel smiling at me as she pointed at the room in front of her. “Well? I redid it for us!”

“Hmmm? But…. Why?” I was confused. Why would she redo a bedroom for us….

“What do you mean why!? We are getting @^#%# in a few days. It only took you %^@%# *#&@#  to come around.” Adel’s smiling face seemed to brighten up the already bright room. Her more mature face and dazzling smile was enough to make anyone who gazed upon it smile back. But some of her words phased out and sounded jumbled. I couldn’t understand what she was saying. But It was good to see her smiling face. “Faith?”

“Hmmm?” I asked. I was feeling very tired.

“Faith!? Faith!” I heard Adel’s voice yell out, but I felt like I couldn’t move. Everything was going dark. I looked up at the panicked expression on Adel’s face and wondered why she was crying. I did my best to smile as I softly said: “Don’t cry. Crying ruins your beautiful face….”

Light slowly penetrated the darkness as I opened my eyes. I looked around the room to see I was sitting in my office. I have no idea what that dream was about, but it was very much different than any dream I have ever had thus far. But the sad look in Adel’s eyes as things grew dark worries me…. “Is she okay?”

This thought made me rise up from my seat and leave my office. I walked down the hall to Adel’s room, where I knocked on the door and called out to her as I opened it. “Adel?”

“Gehehehe….” Ermmm? I seemed to have walked in on something strange. “Adel?”

“Huh? Faith!?” Adel yelled out while throwing the pillow she was just hugging over the couch she was on, sat straight up, and tried to fix her clothing. “Wha-What brings you here?”

Is she really going to try to ignore the fact she was just hugging and kissing a pillow while making strange noises!? I guess this is one of those times where it’s better to forget than to try to find out what I had just witnessed. Taking a deep breath I said: “I just came to find out if you were okay. But it seems you are okay,  so have fun… Sorry for disturbing you.”

“Huh? Ah! Faith! It’s not what you think!” Adel’s cry fell on deaf ears as I blankly walked out of the room. “Yes… .I will wipe this day from my memory.”

“Faith!” Adel yelled out from behind me. I turned to see her standing there staring at me as if she was going to eat me up. “Don’t misunderstand! Wait, why are you running!?”

“Because I don’t want to turn into a pillow! Gehehehhe!” I let out a mimicked laugh causing Adel to scream from behind me: “You! Forget that!”

We ran by many of the people in the house. Me running away just fast enough for Adel to not be able to catch up, and Adel, doing her best to catch up to me. This is how we should be for the time being. Two friends who are like sisters who care for one another. This is the kind of relationship I want for the time being. Until the day I can toss aside my worries about the future, I can only stay like this for her. Just out of reach but close enough for her to know that I am not going anywhere. Whether I end up with her or some man, I have yet to meet, I do not know, but the future was something that should never be set in stone.
