I'M Not Perfect
POV satria, about taste

***

The clock shows at nine o'clock in the morning when Eric finished his bath and breakfast.

Eric had intended to spend his vacation today by sleeping all day at home. But it can't.

Eric's bored.

Today, the sky looks so bright. It is unfortunate if you have to sleep all day when the weather is this bright.

Eric picked up his little bag, after which walked towards the door. As soon as Eric opened the door, he was suddenly startled by the presence of someone standing in front of him.

I don't know since when.

"Audrey ...?"

"Morning..." Audrey's greeting sounded so soft.

"Ah, yes, pa, morning ..." Eric answered.

"What's up, Audrey? Is there anything you want to tell me? Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"Ti, no. I just got here, when I was gonna knock on the door, you opened it first"

A lie!

Audrey's been standing there for almost half an hour.

Audrey hesitated as she was about to knock on her door.

Audrey couldn't sleep last night. Audrey doesn't know that it feels this bad when she avoids Eric.

Audrey was agitated and also felt guilty.

Last night Eric did nothing wrong to him. Eric just wanted to help him get up. But he just left Eric.

That's why, early in the morning Audrey was awake, then prepared to wait for Eric in front of the door of his apartment.

Eric smiling.

"Did you come with me today?" Eric asked suddenly.

Audrey raised her head to look at Eric, then nodded slowly.

Eric could see there was a sweet smile behind the mask.

"Come on." Invite Eric enthusiastically.

Eric reflexes holding Audrey's hand.

Audrey surprised.

But he had no intention of letting go of Eric's hand.

Audrey's heart was racing faster. Audrey looked at the hands of those who were clinging to each other.

It feels so comfortable.

Audrey returned her smile in silence.

Eric was thrilled when he saw Audrey so enthusiastic about seeing the animals. Everything was clearly in Audrey's eyes. His eyes look bright and happy.

When they were in the cat's cage. Eric can draw a conclusion, of the many animals that are here, Audrey looks more like a cat. Eric saw Audrey's face sparkling while playing with the cats.

I don't know why suddenly Eric wanted to become a cat.

Eric envied.

Stupid indeed!

But that's the truth.

Eric approached Audrey, then rubbed the head of the cat in Audrey's arms.

Audrey's heart regained its existence as she looked into Eric's brownish bead ball that was staring at her with a sweet smile on her lips.

Audrey's hand was weakened, and suddenly her cat jumped.

Audrey who was unprepared for the weakest movement of any kind lost her balance. Eric immediately grabbed Audrey's slender waist as the little girl in front of him was about to take off.

Now Eric and Audrey are staring at each other intensely, with hearts equally rumbling.

Slowly, Eric's hand was raised up. Eric opens one of the mask straps in Audrey's ear.

A beautiful and sweet face was also seen there.

For Eric, nothing can beat Audrey's beauty.

The color of the orange sky at sunset is even less beautiful.

Eric knew those words alone would not be enough to describe the beauty in Audrey.

Eric really couldn't hold back his feelings anymore.

The little girl standing in front of him right now had completely stolen his heart. He even stole half of his world.

Eric drew his face closer to Audrey's. Audrey was able to remain silent. Just as their lips were about to meet, Audrey suddenly pushed Eric's body.

Eric surprised.

While Audrey rushed to wear her mask back while trying to neutralize her heartbeat that continued to stomp strongly.

Eric looked to the left and right. Eric almost forgot that they were in a public place. Eric looks at Audrey, who is currently back playing with cats.

Suddenly, Eric was scared and clumsy. Eric was afraid that his actions would offend Audrey.

In the afternoon, Eric and Audrey went home.

Eric and Audrey were silent on the way. Even Eric who usually always broke the silence between them, even this time did not dwell.

A sense of awkwardness attacked both of them since the event was caged cat earlier.

As Audrey was about to walk into her apartment, Eric was still waiting behind Audrey.

Eric couldn't even say the word 'good night'.

At this time Audrey's hand is still holding the door handle, but Audrey has not lowered the handle at all. Eric was standing behind Audrey while looking at Audrey's back.

Audrey suddenly turned around.

"Thank you for today." Lirih Audrey slow down, then put down the mask.

A cuppp!

Eric surprised.

Audrey kissed her cheek with lightning, and Audrey rushed into the apartment.

Eric was still standing in his seat holding his cheek that had just been in Audrey's kiss.

Eric still doesn't believe what happened.

Audrey just kissed her?

Is this just a dream?

Eric pinched his cheek strongly.

"Ohhhh!" Eric screamed as he felt pain.

Eric rubbed his red cheeks.

Eric felt pain in his cheeks. But the pain was not worth his happiness today.

Eric rubbed his cheek again, this time on the cheek that Audrey kissed.

Eric stepped into his apartment with a heart of flowers.
