Kimmon's POV

Never had I regretted so much that moment of indecision that later on prevented me from doing what I had wanted to do. I lost the chance to let Copter know how I really felt about him.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was uneventful. I was starting to get sick of the cheesy lovey doveyness of Godt and Bas. They just couldn't keep their hands off each other, it was totally sickening.

At least P'Tae and Tee had gone out to the porch where P'Tae had brought out his guitar and song book and he and Tee were singing the songs that both of them were familiar with. At one point they had the beginnings of a fight, or maybe fight was too strong of a word, maybe I should say the beginnings of an argument, when P'Tae started singing a song about unrequited love and while he was singing he was giving reproachful looks to Tee. And then after a while Tee could not take it any longer, and burst out with "What???"

And P'Tae answered, "Well, I still feel bad about how you made me suffer for too long, thinking that my love for you was unrequited!"

"You're a fine one to talk!" Tee shot back. "You were the one who had been so cold to me that I had moments when I thought of just breaking my vacation and going back to the city, far away from you, you big unfeeling idiot!!!"

P'Tae stopped strumming his guitar and had opened his mouth to say something but I decided to step in before the argument could get any more serious.

"Hold it there, both of you!" I said, walking towards them. "No one is to blame here, okay? You both were just afraid to reveal your feelings for fear of getting rejected and getting hurt."

"You were both just trying to protect your pride," I continued, raising my voice to let it carry towards the living room where Copter was seated on the couch, tapping on something on his phone but suddenly freezing his finger in mid air, seeming to listen intently to what I was saying to P'Tae and Tee.

"Sometimes," I continued, I was now on a roll, "sometimes, trying to protect your pride is not a good thing, especially when it comes to hiding your feelings for someone. Sometimes, letting a person know how you feel is the only way to know whether he loves you back or not."

I had to stop my little speech. My tongue was caught in my throat and I could not go on.

I tried to continue, "Sometimes, when you hesitate to say what you really feel, it might be too late and you never get the chance again......" my voice had trailed because the tears were flowing fast down my cheeks.

Tee quickly stood up from the porch steps and was stretching his arms to hug me but I got pulled away from behind.

Copter had grabbed me and was hugging me tight!

He turned me bodily around to face him and held me tight once more.

"I love you, P'Kim! I love you so much!" he cried, resting his cheek against my chest.

I lifted his face so that he could clearly see mine.

In the sincerest manner I could say it, I said to him, "Cop, my dearest sweetheart, I have loved you for a very long time and more than you could ever know."

He brought my face down to his but before he could initiate the kiss, I pressed my mouth on his, kissing him wildly, all restraint gone from me.

"Let's get out of here," I heard P'Tae saying to Tee.
