When You Tell Me that You Love Me
Disclaimer: of course, not mine.
:: Okay, so this is officially the shortest story I've ever written. Hope you like it. Enjoy!
" He loves me," Kim mumbled whole heartedly and watched as the pink rose petal fall down to the ground. " he loves me not,"
" Ehm.. Kimberly?" Trini soft voice called out. " what are you doing?"
The petite brunette sighed, plucking out another petal. " What do you think I'm doing? He loves me…,"
" You're littering," the pretty Asian girl chided jokingly.
" He loves me not. Yeah, thanks for saying that, Tri," Kim continued to pluck the rose. There're only five more left. " he loves me,"
" Er, Kim?"
" What? He loves me not,"
" I think you better stop," the yellow ranger advised kindly.
" He loves me… wait, I'm almost done," Kimberly answered, moving her feet.
" I really, really think you should put that flower down," Trini said again, more insistent this time.
" He loves me not…," Kim struggled to keep herself from getting up to do victory dances and doing back flips all over the park. She smiled knowingly when the second last petal drop to the ground, joining the others.
" Kimberly, what are you doing?"
" YES! He loves me!" Kim jumped from her seat on the bench and punched her small fist into the air. Trini chuckled at the childish gesture.
Then her smile quickly faded as if the wind had swept it away. One, two, three… Oh crap.
" Who loves you?"
Kimberly swirled around and oh my Goodness! She desperately, completely wanted to die. She was hoping the earth would swallow her alive so she didn't have to face and answer Tommy Oliver… who was standing half a meter from her with his trademark lopsided grin attached to his handsome feature.
" Tommy! Hi! I didn't see you coming," she answered awkwardly. Since the new guy came into her circle of friends, Kim couldn't shake the feeling that she was slowly but surely falling for him. Why did she seem to be always making fun of herself everytime they're together? But THIS was surely the worst.
" Who loves you?" Tommy asked again, seating himself at the bench beside Trini who's clearly holding back her laugh. He put his hands on his thighs and Kim was having a hard time to produce an answer and admiring him for looking so good at the same time. Fortunately, the former won.
" You know, my father, my uncle John…," Kim glared at Trini for not telling her sooner. " my brother…,"
Tommy frowned. " Wasn't that supposed to be, ' they love me' then, instead of ' he loves me'?"
" Well, they're all men so I was… generalizing them," Kim felt more and more stupid by the second. He did it on purpose. Yeah, he must be!
" Okay,"
" Who's ready for a tall smoothie? Definitely me. Come on!"" Kim said in one gulp of air. Without waiting for a reply and without sparing another glance towards Tommy, she quickly turned around and scampered away. She still could hear Tommy laugh and query Trini.
" What happened to her?"
Kim cringed, mentally beating herself. Trini chuckled good naturedly and answered, " She must have hit her head at the battle this afternoon,"
Kimberly, Kimberly… go die! Well, at least he loves her. Ha!
:: That's the end of the story. I know this is very, very short, but please review. No flame please. Thanks.
