Sunset After The Storm
Hi! I'm Samantha Allistair and I just want to share how I was shattered and at the same time, captivated by love.
I was on my first year in college when I met Brandon Atkins. He's this medium-height, athletic yet annoying guy in my literature class. Why do I say he's annoying? It's because he keeps on talking to me during lectures, snatches my notebook then writes stupid remarks about how boring our class is. He even crumples some papers and throws them towards me just to disturb me from listening to our professor.
But despite those crazy, irritating, and troublesome actions he was showing me, he became my closest friend I have never imagined would be.
We live nearby so, we usually go to school together.
Well... at first, I go to school alone but since he knew we live in the same neighborhood, he will just suddenly popped out of nowhere then walks beside me on the way to the university.
He does that everyday and I eventually got used to it.
Being together as friends for a couple of years, I got to know more of him. He likes to watch and play football, he's scared of any kinds of flying insects, he's allergic to peanuts, he's also good at painting and loves to do hilarious pranks but one thing I've noticed about him is that he smiles most of the time. He's very optimistic and he always makes sure that the people around him are happy.
However, in my case, he wants me happy and annoyed at the same time.
😂😂
On our 3rd year in college, month of January, I decided to surprise him on his birthday by baking his favorite mocha cake 🎂. I was planning to call some of our closest friends to celebrate but he refused because he said he wanted to tell me something important.
His face was so serious as if he's telling me I did something terrible and it made me feel nervous.
He ushered me straight to the room next to his bedroom feeling confused. That was the room that's always locked.
Why would he bring me here?
What's in that room?
Those were the questions popping in my head that moment.
When he opened the door and turned on the lights, I was utterly speechless and shocked upon seeing what's inside.

It was all paintings of me...
There were paintings wherein I was baking cake, seriously listening to the lecture, texting, and many more but one specific painting caught my attention. It was me standing in front of the class holding a piece of paper. I remember that scenario, it was during my 1st year and I was reciting my poem in my literature class.
I looked at Brandon really confused.
"I have loved you the moment I laid my eyes on you Sam." he said.
A confession. That's what he's saying.
"Sam, I know this really surprised you a lot but being a friend with you for 3 long years is so amazing yet painful in some ways."
"what do you mean...
