His Doubtful Promises

Chapter 2

~~~

We're in Cloud 9 since we are going to try surfing here, it's on my bucket list and I'm excited to finally have it checked. Rox and Korics is taking so long so we all started without them, for sure they would catch up. Nycho suddenly walked towards me, and I couldn't shake the awkwardness that happened when we first talked.

There's something in him that tells me there is a connection between us, it's a whole different feeling and every time I look at him or simply stand close to him, there's a kind of spark or something else lights up within me. He's like a magnet, he pulls me without even trying or doing anything.

And what's weird about that is because I barely even know anything about him, I hardly know him but I'm already feeling connections and sparks. His character says it all, his aura too, he is a magnet. Between him and Gaeb, Nycho's appeal is different, and the way he is ever since he started hanging out with us, it really catches my attention.

He talks in a very calm manner, but not enough to be treated coldly. The way he talks isn't the only thing odd about him, but how he doesn't feel uncomfortable staring into other people's eyes. Even if we don't know each other well, when I encountered him in the midst of the hallways, he talked to me while his eyes pierced through my soul.

I could never stare at someone like that for so long, I get conscious! The way he's so chill and his stillness makes me feel uneasy, How could someone act so cool when he's witnessing another person feel so embarrassed in front of them?! I don't understand, that's why I want to know him more!

"Hi, Vrylle." He says, I nodded slightly before stepping back a little. The girls are already choosing their surfboards and are being guided by the professional surfers here and I was just there, standing next to this peculiar guy. "You want me to teach you how to surf?"

"Huh? Don't they have experts to do that?" I smugly asked and I could see how he got startled. I smirked, finally, I know how to lay it hard on him, he doesn't want to be addressed like that. "Let people do their jobs Nycho."

"I insist." He says firmly, I smirked at him one last time before walking away to join my girls. I chose a surfboard and I was about to approach them to learn when he followed me again. "I told you, I insist. It's not nice to turn someone down like that."

"And it's not nice for you to follow a woman around when she's clearly showing you to step away." I said and rolled my eyes, I wanted to see how he is and how he'd take it. I find it amusing to see how people are when you show them you're concrete. "If you'd excuse me, I must happily start learning."

He didn't stop though, so you're hard to shake off huh? I thought so too. I got tired of pushing him to his limit, he wouldn't stop bothering me so I said yes and I let him teach me how to surf. I saw how serious he was, I smiled.

"Be careful and keep your balance," He says while looking at me as I tried to at least stay on the board and not fall. I started to get the hang of it... until I almost fell down, almost... And then I fell! "Oops, wait let me help you."

I fell in the water and I laughed while he was busy helping me up, I knew how to swim but of course, he overreacted. When I sat on the board, he held it tightly so he could stop it from moving so much... and to protect me from falling.

Water was dripping all over me, my hair starting to taste salty. My eyes focused on his, he has this smile on his face... a satisfied one. Our skins are inches apart, my legs almost close to his arms. I cough and he immediately moved away, he got the message. He understood that I started to feel the heat of awkwardness.
