Zephyr

"So what is it about her that you are so in love with, Zephyr?" asked Faraday.

"Huh, what do you mean? Where did that come from? " I was surprised by his question that came outta no where. Surely he had been waiting for quite some time to drop the bomb, I guess he took the chances when Thalia left to the washroom.

"You know exactly what I meant. You are CLEARLY in love with her man, spill the beans already!" he hollered.

"Is it that obvious?" I chuckled. "Well, fair enough. I am in love with her, but do I really need a reason for that?"

As if he was surprised by my honesty, Faraday took a step back dramatically and grinned right after recovering from his "shock" state. "Of course you do, everyone is in love with someone for a reason! John is in love with Priscilla because she was his childhood friend, dear old Cinna is in love with Mike because he's in the basketball team, it has got to be a reason! So really, what's yours?"

"Fine...let me try." I closed my eyes and recalled everything about Thalia, every moment that we both shared and every words that she said now and then. I took my time to dig into my memories for an answer to Faraday's question.

"I don't know man, I really don't. If it has to be that one thing that I can name you right now, I guess I have none... It's everything about her. I love her presence, it's comforting, though she's never good in finding the right words to say or the right thing to do, but I just love that about her." I said whatever came into my mind.
"I'm a man who has been into many relationships, Faraday, you know that. But for the first time ever, I'm taking my time on a girl and I guess it's because I want her to have the best of everything. I have never been so desperate to see a girl's smile or laugh or even grin at anything at all, even if it has nothing to do with me. I have never wanted to make someone feel happy this badly before, and I wish I could have done more to take away whatever that saddens her."
"I am feeling lots, and lots of things that I have never felt before. So am I in love, Faraday? Yes I am, but I couldn't tell you with what, because that's all I'm feeling right now and if it's not love, I don't know what it is. She deserves to be happy, to be hugged and kissed every second, every minute in everyday, and I wish I could give her all that." I stopped, because I knew I have said more than my emotions can handle.

Faraday seemed to be surprised by my answer, guess I couldn't blame him for that cause I didn't expect this either. "Even if it's not mutual?" he asked with hesitancy.

"Even if it's not mutual." I smiled.
