"Then I guess we don't have a choice now"

"We'll just have to wait until someone get us out of here tomorrow"

Leila said while walking to sit on one of the chairs.

"We don't have school tomorrow. Leila, it's the weekend"

He said and she sprung out of her chair.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

She yelled so loudly while Ash started to laugh.

"Why are you laughing? Is our situation funny to you?"

She said while glaring at him.

"It's just that, I have never heard you curse before. You don't look like the type to curse this loud in front of other people"

He said and Leila's cheeks went red in embarrassment.

"So what type of person do you think I am then?"

She asked while folding her hands in front of her chest.

Ash on the other hand put his hands inside his pocket and started to stare at her.

"The type who can make anyone fall head over heels for her"

He said that sincerely and Leila felt her cheeks blushing more intensely.

"I......"

She stuttered not knowing what to say.

"It's frustrating that you never figured out that I was in love with you this whole time"

She froze in her position.

*He is in love with me? As in me?*

"W-why?"

"Why are you in love with me?"

Ash smiled and walked towards her.

"Because you're you"

"You're a bit clumsy, yes. You laugh at the littlest joke your twin and Raine throws at you"

"You sometimes embarrass yourself in front of others but you're still one of a kind"

"You don't do things to impress anyone and you just do them because that's what makes you, you. And you don't put up with anyone else's nonsense"

"I don't know but I noticed those things because I was observing you"

"It really was just pure curiosity at first because you really caught my attention except for the fact that you're beautiful, but time passed, and I can't seem to stop myself from looking at you"

"That was maybe the time I felt this"

Leila just smiled.

*He's confessing his love to me*

"I don't know if you find this weird that I'm suddenly talking about being in love with you, but I'm so sorry I don't know how to stop myself from talking"

"I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable right now"

"It's just that, it all just went out of my mouth suddenly and-"

But Ash was cut off from mumbling when Leila looked into his eyes while she reached his cheeks.

"You don't have to be sorry because you don't know how happy I feel right now"

"You made me happy with everything that you just said Ash...."

She said it in almost a whisper while closing her eyes and moving towards Ash to kiss him.

Ash grabbed her chin until their lips met. It felt right for them to kiss each other. The kiss was short but sweet.

He hugged Leila tightly while the latter returned it and rested her head on his chest. She felt him kissing her temple.

"But you know we're still stuck here together for two days right"

"WHAT THE HELL, I FORGOT!"

Leila suddenly yelled loudly again while getting out of the hug. But Ash just laughed and grabbed her for another hug. She also laughed with him after a few moments and savoured the warmth that was enveloping her.

*Oh well. Maybe getting stuck together was not so bad after all*
