Chapter 18

Theo hears a knock on his door. He thinks he is daydreaming. The knocks get stronger. Then, Theo wakes up. He gets up and opens the door.

"What?" Theo says, annoyed.

"Did you pluck a rose from my rose plant?" Alan asks, very seriously.

"Yeah, so?"

"What! Do you even know how much hard work it takes?"

Theo sighs. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

"Okay."

Theo turns around and then turns around again. "Wait, did you count them?"

"Yeah, I count them every morning. There were exactly 12 roses but because of you, it's now 11, an odd number."

"Why?"

"It's something, you know. I have to talk to Mr. Lee about it. He said this is some condition, uhh, OCD."

"I've read about this. It can be serious."

"Maybe. It's not that serious in my case."

"I'm sorry," Theo says with remorse.

Alan sighs, turns around, and then turns around again.

"Wait, why did you need a rose?"

"I... um."

Alan smiles cheekily and says, "Oh my god, who is it?"

"No one."

"Spit it out."

"I plucked it for Kathy."

"Who is Kathy now?"

"Kathryn. I call her Kathy."

"Nickname, huh?"

"I gave her the rose, but turns out she's allergic to roses. I felt so bad; she became so sick."

"Look at you. What did she do to you? You're in love. If this continues, you'll kidnap her and who knows what else?"

"Don't you have work?" Theo said, annoyed.

"Forget work. Won't you introduce me to her?"

"Why?"

"I want to see who can make you blush."

"No."

"Come on."

Theo sighs. "Let me go take a shower."

"Make it quick."

Theo shuts his door harshly.

Theo and Alan are walking through the streets.

They enter a small restaurant. Theo sees Kathy standing there, reading a book.

Theo approaches her. "Good morning, my love."

Kathy closes her book and hugs Theo. "Good morning."

Alan looks at them shockingly and makes eye contact with Theo while smiling.

"And that's Alan, my friend."

"Ohhh, that's why..."

"Yeah."

Alan walks up to them and introduces himself to Kathy. "Hello, I'm Alan, his friend."

"Hello, Alan. I'm Kathryn. Nice to meet you."

"So you're the girl who makes him blush, Kathy."

"Kathryn," Theo corrects.

"Do you mind if I call you Kathy?"

"No, I actually love it when anyone calls me by the name my favorite person calls me."

Theo smiles at her.

"That's awesome. I would love to talk to you some more, but I'm getting late. Do you think we can have lunch with you sometime, with my girlfriend Sophie?"

"We would love to, right sweetheart?" Kathy said.

Theo nodded.

"So, goodbye Kathy. It was very nice meeting you."

"Me too."

Alan walked away.

"This is Alan. Never thinks before he speaks, never thinks after he speaks."

"I'm sure he's nice too, as he's your friend," Kathy says, giggling.

Theo hugged her. "How are you feeling?"

"Lovely now."

They roam around the streets of London without worrying about anything. They hold hands, laugh, watch street performances. Everyone claps as the magician shows his magic. He calls Theo; hesitated but Kathy encourages him to go. The magician shows his charms and pulls out a chocolate from Theo's overcoat. Theo is shocked. Everyone claps together. Then Theo gives the chocolate to Kathy. Her eyes light up as she claps and takes the chocolate. The magician works his charms again and throws confetti at them using his hat. People look at them with admiring eyes.

Theo: My life is filled with joy now. No past, no future mattered anymore, only the gift of the present: my Kathy.

When Theo comes back home, he sees Alan sitting and writing something on a piece of paper.

"What are you doing, mate?"

"Writing my groomsmen's speech for your wedding."

"Pardon me?"

"Yeah, here's one for you."

"First, are you proposing to Sophie? Secondly, I'm not giving any speech in front of that many people."

"First, I will one day. Secondly, you don't have a choice."

"I'm not doing it."

"I'm your best friend. You have to."

"You're not."

"Keep denying till your tongue falls out, but it's the truth. I'm your only best friend."

"And how do you know that?"

"Because I am your only choice."

"Yeah, you wish."

Theo goes to his room.

The next morning,

Alan is getting ready to leave.

Theo wakes up and sees him. "Weren't we supposed to have breakfast together?"

"Why do you care? I'm sure you'll be just fine having breakfast alone."

Theo smiles secretly. "Okay, but before leaving, at least tell me what to do with the speech I wrote for your wedding."

Alan smiles and hugs Theo. "I knew it. See, you realized I'm your only best friend."

"Shut up. I'll take a shower, and then we'll go for breakfast."

"Let me read the speech."

"No, first get married."

"Come on, mate."
