Me: Yes, "Suddenly it's Magic" is a movie where Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales starred. And yes, again, I am a Filipino. But not everything will be the same like the movie; I have my own events here in this story.

Jason Grace
There were only two words in my mind. Piper Mclean. I can't stop thinking about her. The way she smile and how it brightens my day. The way my heart beats faster every time I see her. And the way I feel awkward around her and try not to do something stupid in front of her. I've only seen her once but I know I am in love with her. I sighed. When I told her that I was a Hollywood actor, she frowned and tried to hide it with a smile, but failed. She will never like someone like me, much less love me. I shook my head. I have to get these thoughts out of my head, I took my blue jacket from the coat rack which is next to the door and went outside. I wore the jacket as I was walking toward the elevator. I pressed the lobby button. Ding! The doors flew open and I headed outside.
It was a cold but peaceful night. There was no noise at all except for the rustling of the wind in the trees. I inhaled the fresh air. I felt like cleansed. I wonder where my sister Thalia is, she is probably going on an adventure with her female friends across the world.
I just walked and walked and walked. Not knowing where I was, I took in my surroundings. I was at the Central Park. I went to the fountain which is in the middle of the park and stared into my reflection. I just stood there, looking at my reflection when somebody bumped into me. I fell on my back and groaned. This person also fell on me, so we are face-to-face. She was a girl and I recognized her quickly. She was...
"Piper?" I asked.
She opened her eyes and her kaleidoscope eyes stared into mine. Our lips were an inch away. My hands found their way to her waist, like it has its own mind. She blushed. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt and skinny jeans. Her hair was in a pony-tail and her...oh, gods! There was a small scar on her left cheek and from the looks of it, it was still fresh.
"Piper, what happened?" I asked as I checked her cheek.
"It's...nothing." She said as she stood up. Then she lend me a hand and I accepted it.
There was an awkward tension between us.
"So," I said. "how about we go to my place to heal that scar?"
She nodded. I walked her to my room in the hotel. She didn't seem surprise by the "luxurious" part. We went to my room and I gestured for her to sit on one of the couches. She did as I told her to. I went to the bathroom and took the first-aid kit. I put some ointment on her scar, which made her to bite her lip, and put some bandage on it.
"So," I said. "earlier today, when I told you that I was a Hollywood actor, why did you frown?"
She bit her lip again. "The truth is," She said. "I have always thought Hollywood stars are somehow...self-centered jerks, no offense. My dad is... an actor, he's Tristan Mclean." She paused to let her words sink in.
I was shocked. Tristan Mclean, I have worked with him before, in a movie called "At the Road to Death".
"And he introduced me to...Dylan, his co-actor." She said. "He wants me to date him, and when I said 'No', he left me alone. Dylan comes here at New York from time to time, and always nag me to date him but I ignore him every time. And he somehow hurts me like slap me or punch me." A tear rolled down her cheek.
"So," I said. "He's the one who did that to you."
She looked at me. "Did what?"
"That scar." I said. She didn't answer so I'll take that as a 'yes'.
"It's getting late, I have to go. Leo's probably worried." She said as she stood up.
"Who's Leo?" I asked, a bit of jealousy in my voice. I also stood up.
"Leo's my best friend." She said. "We share an apartment since we both have no parents. We share our money to buy our needs. He's an engineer, but his salary is a little... small, since he's a working student. We are like a brother-and-sister relationship
I nodded, the jealousy gone. "So, I'll just walk you home."
She shook her head. "No, no. I am already bothering you so much. I can just walk by myself." She said.
"All on your own in the middle of the night, I don't think that's a good idea." I reasoned. "Besides, I've got nothing else better to do."
"Fine." She agreed.
We walked outside. A full moon shone brightly above us. While I was following Piper, my stomach rumbled. I blushed scarlet red. Piper laughed.
"Time for a mid-night snack?" She asked.
"Yes," I answered. "There's a diner over there, they serve 24/7. I think I could buy us a couple of food and drinks." Piper nodded.
We went to the restaurant "Daniel's Diner". When we opened the double glass door, it was absolutely quiet. Only a couple of tables were occupied. And everyone stared at us with a shock look on their faces. I smiled and we walked to a vacant table on the corner. The seats were white-striped red leather and the tables were red and white checkered.
A waitress walked to our table and asks for our orders.
"I'll have a cheese burger, medium-size fries, and Coke." I said, and gestured to Piper.
"I'll have snack-size lasagna, please. And water." She said.
"No," I said. "make that supreme lasagna."
She looked at me and I just smiled.
The waitress scribbled down our orders and told us that we'll have to wait at least fifteen minutes. We nodded and she left.
"Thanks, but you didn't have to, you know." She said. I nodded.
"So Piper," I said. Just trying to have a conversation with her. "do you like Greek Mythology?"
She smiled. "Yes, I like it!" She said. She continued about how Greek Mythology started, from Greece to Rome, etc. And I must say, I'm very interested. At least we have a common interest. We laughed as she told jokes about it.
The waitress came back with our food. She placed the food on our table and said "Enjoy!".
Once the waitress left, we finished the food in silence, in comfortable silence.
I paid the waitress and we went outside.
We were walking toward her apartment when she suddenly shivered. She hugged her self tightly. As my mother used to say, "Be a Gentleman. It warms the heart of your lover!". I know, I know... It's cheesy. No? Fine. So following the advice of my mother, I gave her my jacket. She thanked me and put the jacket on.
I walked her to her apartment. When we got there, she kissed my cheek.
"Thanks," She said. "I had a wonderful night." Then she closed the door.
I just stood there like an idiot. Smiling to myself, I headed to the hotel.
I hope you like it. And if you paid attention, Piper forgot to give Jason back his jacket. That is important for the next chapter. Happy New Year, everyone!
