I'M Not Perfect
changes

Audrey has started to socialize with the campus environment. He is no longer afraid to interact with his friends. Audrey's classmates also want to accept Audrey as she is. Now Audrey can live a normal life like everyone else. Although she has not been able to completely forget her dark past, but at least Audrey has begun to be able to step out of her dark world again.

As usual, every time I go home from college, Audrey always waits for Eric to work until I get home. But this time, Audrey was no longer waiting outside. Now Audrey is also familiar with Mr. Mario. Audrey always spends time at the Cafe by playing around with Boris. And Eric of course more excited because it can work accompanied by the girlfriend.

"Eric, take this home." Said Mr. Mario after Eric finished closing his cafe.

"What is this, sir." Eric asked while taking the bushel given by Mr. Mario.

"So my wife cooked a lot, she left this for me to give you. Eat it as soon as you get home."

"Thank you, sir."

Mr. Mario smiled.

"Yes there go home, be careful on the road." Message from Mario.

Eric nodded.

After saying goodbye, Eric and Audrey go home.

"Master Mario is really very good. I'm glad I know him." Audrey.

"You're right. I was lucky to work for him. He's like my own father. I used to think the world was unfair to me. I feel like fate is so cruel to me. But lately I've started to like and be grateful for my destiny because I'm surrounded by people who love me." Eric looked at Audrey.

Audrey blushed in embarrassment behind her mask.

Eric was eager to see Audrey's timid facial expression. Slowly his hands stretched out, opening the mask that covered the sweet face of his girlfriend. The sweet face with a tinge of red on her cheek was finally visible.

Very sweet.

Makes Eric couldn't stand kissing her.

Since they've been dating, Eric never kissed Audrey again. An overwhelming sense of awkwardness always looms between them whenever a romantic moment is created. In addition, Eric is afraid that Audrey's trauma will recur.

Slowly Eric rubbed Audrey's face gently.

"Audrey, I think you can start trying little by little to live your life without a mask. Trust me, everything's gonna be fine."

Audrey frowned.

"Aren't you the one who said you wouldn't want my face to be seen by so many people?"

Eric put his mask on Audrey's face again.

"Yes, you're right. I'll never be willing."

"You're a freak..."

Eric chuckles amusedly.

"I'm kidding, Audrey. Of course you can open it if you're really ready. Anyway I want to make everyone jealous of me because I have a sweet boyfriend like you." Eric's speech was soft.

Audrey was embarrassed.

Then Eric and Audrey stepped back and joined hands.

"Eric, before the final exam, isn't there an inter-campus basketball game?"

Eric nodded.

Eric stopped his steps.

"I'm off the basketball team, Audrey."

"But I'm sure Jordi and the others still wish you could play with them."

Eric remained silent.

"The match is just a few days away. You can still play with them. I know, you're very much into basketball, right? Because if you don't, you won't be able to play that good."

"Alright, forget about that Audrey. I've been pretty busy with my work. No time to think about anything else."

Audrey stared intently into Eric's eyes. Audrey was pretty sure that Eric told the others.

"All right." Audrey finally said.

There was no more conversation between them after that, until they arrived at the apartment. Eric led Audrey to the apartment door.

"In a moment we will enter the exam for graduation. So for now we're just focused on learning, okay?"

Audrey nodded.

"Good night, Eric."

Eric smiling.

"Night." Eric answered briefly.

Then Audrey turned her body.

"Audrey!" Call Eric.

Audrey looks.

Eric opened Audrey's mask, then looked at her intensely.

Audrey's heart skipped a beat instantly as Eric looked at her in such a way. Slowly Eric's face drew closer to him. Audrey closed her eyes when Eric almost touched her lips.

Audrey closed her eyes while frowning.

Eric stopped his action, then smiled faintly as he looked at Audrey's facial expression. Finally Eric raised his head slightly, then kissed Audrey softly on the forehead.

Audrey felt Eric's lips peek at her forehead. Then Audrey slowly opened her eyes.

Eric took his lips off.

"Have a nice dream..." Eric is slow.

Audrey nodded, then rushed into her apartment with a heartbeat that continued to rumble violently.

Though only a kiss was approved, but enough to make Audrey's heart lose control of its speed.

Eric smiled as he looked at Audrey's bashful behavior. Suddenly his facial expression turned flat as he recalled Audrey's words regarding the basketball game. After that, Eric went into the apartment.
