Raymond's Diary: Day 12
We all went over to Charmaine's bright an early in the morning today, and typical Tavia forgot to tell Charmaine that we were going over. When we all arrived Charmaine was still sleeping so we decided to get all the food set up. While Tavia was washing the dishes I went to the kitchen to grab some drinks but to my surprise, just as I opened the refrigerator door I saw Charmaine walking down the stairs and rubbing her eyes. She was in her pastel pink pjs and her hair was still messy. She looked adorable, but I knew she was most definitely embarrased being caught in her morning state. Right after I greeted her she ran upstairs.
When she came back downstairs I couldn't help but put on a big smirk on my face thinking back to our earlier encounter. As she walked right passed me to Tavia I couldn't help but chuckle under my breath.
The guys and I were watching TV when I saw Charmaine sit onto the couch to the side of me. I got up and walked over to her and couldn't resist on joking with her about her earlier bed head. After some laughter she thanked me for the other day, and I responded saying, "what are friends for". I wondering what I was thinking when I said that, maybe I wasn't thinking. I was just making matters worse by sending her the wrong messege. Deep breath. What’s done is done. I just need to make up for it.
They guys and I left first to the concert hall for some last minute preparations, but before we left we made sure to tell them not to be late, at that moment, I was so anxious to give Charmaine her surprise.
During the rehearsal the guys and I started to talk about who would bring Charmaine up to the stage. Of course I wanted to walk her up the stage, but I didn't want to make it so obvious to the guys. I told that it wouldn't matter who would walk Charmaine up since she was close to all of us, but to my surprise the both of them thought I would be the perfect choice to walk her up, and there was a reason to it. Being friends with them so long, they knew that there was something going on between me and Charmaine, and who am I to deny it. They even encouraged me to ask her to go to the after party and confess my feelings to her, saying that she was a good pick. Sigh. What am I to do? It's not like I didn't want to, it's just that, I wasn't sure if she was ready for a new relationship, or if she even liked me anymore after I gave her so many mixed messages, but those are all excuses, if I really wanted to, I should just do it. And I really did want to.
It was minutes before the concert; we had sent the limo out to pick up Charmaine and Tavia two hours before. We called Tavia who told us that she had some last minute family gathering to attend to, and we couldn't reach Charmaine. I was worried that something might have happened to Charmaine, but it turned out that the limo broke down on its way here. They got there a little after the concert had started and when she walked in she looked different, in a good way though. She looked radiant, not that she didn't look pretty before, I guess I wasn't really too sure what it was, but it was definitely a good change.
During intermission we all went over to Charmaine, but before we could really talk we had to get back on stage.
The concert had gone on for another hour, and it was finally time; the moment of Charmaine's surprise, and it was indeed a surprise for her. Her expression was priceless when she found out that she was to come on stage with us. I walked down to the audience to walk her up the stairs. At first she was trying to refuse to go up, but she gave in in the end. Staying by her side the whole time while she was up on stage the guys and I tried to calm her nerves. It wasn't long before the concert was over and we walked backstage.
I was a little nervous to ask her to after party, but I did. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go at first but thanks to some convincing my Bosco, she agreed.
There were a lot of reporters as we tried to exit the concert hall and a lot of them were asking about Charmaine. I hope this locomotion didn't startle Charmaine too much.
When we arrived at the party, Charmaine and I just stood outside looking out into the waters. We chatted there for a bit, the atmosphere was perfect. As I looked into her eyes the both of us leaned closer, words couldn't describe what I was feeling inside. I would've confessed my feelings to her right after our lips touched. I guess it was too perfect to be true. She asked to leave, I wanted to give her a lift, but she refused. I knew she just needed some time to calm down, some quiet time, and I had to give her some space.
