SINCERITY
SHYNA's POV
I stop walking when he grabbed my hand. He pulls me causing me to face him.
"What!?" I voice out loud.
"Look. I'm sorry." He said in apology, scratching the back of his head. "Believe me. I didn't leave you. I lost you." After he said those words, he bends his head down. I was stunned in a moment. I can feel his sincerity.
Am I not dreaming? Did he really say sorry to me?
Wow! I didn't know that this boastful guy knows how to say sorry. Oh my god! What did he eat?
Just then... a smile grew on my lips. I don't know why, but I feel suddenly happy when he uttered the word 'sorry' full of sincerity in his voice and eyes.
My heart gets soft.
I stretch my right hand and I touch his face. His head slowly lifted up to face me. I smiled at him.
"It's okay," I said then with some unknown reason I gave him a hug. I didn't expect that he would hug me back.
In a second, I move my body away from him.
"Let's try the roller coaster. Come on." I beam and I hold his hand, then I was about to walk when he stopped me.
"Let's try the bump car first." He said and he pulls me, going to the bumper car ride area.
"Okay, sure." I agreed.
Actually, I, Jane, Roselyn, and Ashley are used to go here every weekend. The ride that we used and love to try is the bump car because it's really fun. But, I really love to ride in the roller coaster however Jane was afraid of height we didn't dare to ride it.
"You're really good at driving, huh." He complimented me while smiling widely causing his white teeth to be exposed. Gosh. That makes him more even handsome.
"Of course!" I beam, proudly.
He messed up my hair.
"So, let's go to the roller coaster?" I question him while smiling.
"Sure, but let's eat first. Look, there is cotton candy. Let's go." Before I could speak up, he immediately pulled me going to the cotton candy station.
Hmm. I smell something fishy. He is acting so weird. I mean... it feels like he doesn't want to try the roller coaster ride.
Could it be?? He's afraid?
That's funny!! This boastful guy is afraid of height! What good news!
He bought cotton candy for the two of us, then we roamed around here in the star city while we are eating. He also bought a canned of juice and street foods.
I was watching him secretly, while we are walking slowly, eating. I can't help myself but smile when I remember what he did earlier. I don't but his sorry means a lot to me. Now, I feel comfortable with him and I cannot say that he is a bad guy anymore. Unlike on the first day, I met him. I was really angry and annoy because of him to the point that I want to kill him. But today, I'm very happy because of him.
Should I say? This is the best date that I ever have.
In my whole life, I didn't experience this kind of thing, just only now. With the person whom I hate the most.
Seriously, this is very funny.
After we eat, finally! We are going to ride in the roller coaster. I'm so excited!

TERRENCE's POV
"Yes! I'm so excited!! Its time for roller coaster ride!" The clumsy girl said in happiness while jumping. She is really that excited. Tss. I don't know her name so I will call her clumsy for the meantime.
She really wants to ride in the roller coaster. But for me?? I really don't want, but I don't have a better choice now. Tsk. Damn.
Am I really sure that I will go with her?
"Hey, are you okay? What's that face? Could it be... are you scared?" She teased.
Who told her that I'm scared?
"Tss." I gave her an amused smirk then I messed up her hair.
I'm not scared. I just really want to avoid that ride, but it seems I cannot do that now.
-FLASHBACK-
TWO YEARS AGO.
"Oh my god!! Oh my god!! This is it!! We're going to ride in the roller coaster. I'm really scared. Oh my god! I think I'm going to faint!" I look at her. Her grip tightens on the rail while her eyes are closed.
I smiled then I hold her hand. She's shaking.
"Jhuslyn, relax. The cab is not moving yet." I chuckled.
"I'm still nervous but I'm excited." She pouted.
She's so cute.
Just then, the cab is finally moving.
"Oh my god!! It is moving! This is it!" She said in a panic with a mix of excitement.
I laughed at her. Even if she looks so very scared, still shes is cute. Her face turns red.
In a moment, the cab already got the loop.
"Terrence!! Oh my god!!"
"Jhus, let's shout, okay?"
"Yes! Okay, okay!"
"One! Two! Three!!"
Here we go!
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" She screech.
"I LOOOOVVEEEE YYYOOUUUU JHUSLYN!!!!!" I shouted, and she suddenly stops screaming. She opens her eyes, and she looks at me. She is obviously shocked by what I shout.
"Wh...What did you say?"
"I... I said... I love you, Jhuslyn. I love you." I utter repeatedly. Damn! I'm nervous.
But then, she smiled at me.
"Are you smiling?"
"Yes, I am smiling. I'm happy. This is the first time you said that you love me. Because you used to say, "I like you, Jhuslyn." But now, it's "I love you." Plus, you're shouting it."
"Because I really really love you," I replied, smiling sweetly.
The cab got to the other loop again. Then, when it goes down, I shouted again.
"JHUSLYN!!! WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND!???"
She looks at it again but this time she didn't answer me. She didn't also say something or any feedbacks. I can't also read her expressions. Only I know is that she looks so serious.
Am I busted?
Or am I too fast?
Tch. Terrence you were so excited, look at what happened. Maybe she is not yet ready. And confessing while riding with a roller coaster is not romantic. Damn, Terrence. You're really bad at this.
The cab went on the other loop again. I look at her before we go down. I was about to tell her that I didn't mean it and that I understand if she is not yet ready, but she suddenly screams when the cab goes down.
"I LOVVVVVEEE YYOOOUUU TOOO TEEERREENCCEE!! YES!!! I WILL BEEE YOOOUURRR GIRRRLFRRIEEENDD!!"
I was so shocked by what she said and at the same time, I'm very happy.
The ride has ended but we remain in our seats.
"R... Really?" I utter unbelievably.
"Yes, but promise me one thing. Do not ever leave me. Do not ever make me cry."
"Yes, I promise you that. I will never make you cry."
Yes!! Wohooo!! I'm really happy now!
She touches my face and she gave me our first kiss.
"Happy Birthday Terrence."
"This is the happiest birthday ever and you are the one who gave it to me. I love you."
"I love you too, Terrence. Let's not leave each other alone, okay?"
"Okay. I promise."
Then, we kissed for the last time.
- END OF FLASHBACK -
NEVER LEAVE EACH OTHER? But she left me hanging, without even saying a word. She is the reason why I don't want to ride in that damn roller coaster because it just reminds me of everything in the past, about the two of us. That promises of her are meant to be broken.
I was quite the whole ride while this clumsy girl is enjoying it. Every loop we passed reminds me of Jhuslyn.
I remember back then, we are really happy that day of my birthday. Until one day, I woke up in the morning, she was gone. She disappeared like a bubble. Just then, I just found out that she is already in another country with her family. She never told me that she was leaving. I also don't know the reason why she left, and why did she need to leave me hanging, without saying goodbye. I tried to contact her, but I cannot. She blocked me.
I kept wondering if she really loves me. Because it's easy for her to leave me. That was the first time that I ever cry for a girl. It was f*****g hurt. And since then, I promise myself that I will never fall in love again. I will never take a serious relationship again. She really hurt me. And all of my friends, as well as aa my sister can't blame me why I became a Playboy. I want to take revenge. Because of her, I realized that all girls are the same.
After the ride, I walk first to her.
"Hey, wait!" She holds my hand. So, I look at her.
"Ahm. I know you don't want to ride in the roller coaster. I'm sorry, I insisted." She said in apology.
I go back to my senses seeing her facial expressions. She's guilty.
This is all wrong!
In the first place, I was the one who brought her to the place that will make me remind of something. It's my fault.
I smiled at her.
"No, it's okay. I enjoyed the ride anyway."
"Really?" She smiled at me.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Wait, what's your name by the way?"
"Shyna. My name is Shyna." She answered.
Shyna... Pretty name, huh. She should be a shy person, but she's sadistic.
"Oh, so you're Shyna. I thought your name is Clumsy." I chuckling said, and she rolled her eyeballs at me. She's really sadistic.
NIGHT HAS COME. We decided to go home. I drive her home.
"Goodnight. Thank you for paying me." I said to her with a little laugh.
"Eh? I can't say that I already paid you since it was your treat."
"I told you, you don't need to pay me with money," I said, winking at her.
"Whatever. Okay then. I'm paid."
"Yes, next time again."
"There will be no next time." After she said that she got out of my car, and she gets inside her house.
A smile was written on my lips. I found her adorable.
"Shyna... So you're Shyna." I mumbled before I drove my car away.
"Who are they?" Rhea asked me as I enter our house. I was a bit startled because I didn't notice that she was in the living room, watching TV.
"What do you mean?" I asked her, bewildered.
"How many girls did you date today?" She asks, looking at me with a lifted eyebrow.
"Tss. I only date one girl today." I replied, sitting beside her. "You should be proud of me today," I added, smiling proudly.
"Terrence, I know that there is still a pain in your heart. But, I will remind you again. Girl's heart is not a toy for you to be played."
I also know that, but my mind won't change any more. I'm enjoying it.
I stood up. "Yeah, I know that Rhea. But my heart is not a toy either." For her to left without any reason.
After I said that I go to my room.
Don't worry, tomorrow I will be back to normal.
