I started to wash and clean the shrimp while Vinh slices the shrimp in thin slices so that it can
cook. We then wrapped it around the sugarcane my mom bought from the super market. After
we had finished making it we ate it while we looked out in the night June skies.
After we were done Vinh and I played some Elvis Phoung while we washed the dishes and
before we went to sleep we prayed to Buddha at our home shrine.
“chúc ngủ ngon (good night)” I said to vinh.
“chúc ngủ ngon (good night)”, Vinh said to me.
Vinh and I went to our rooms. When I got in my room I quickly changed by changed I mean
took off my shirt and changed into some shorts. The night was cooler than usual but it felt nice
especially when you look at the stars as I did every night. I was 18 years old and I have been
doing it ever since I was 3, I would just look at the stars and think about what had been going on
throughout my day. Tonight was going to focus on Bian because I think she has a crush on me
and I do too. I am planning on asking her out tomorrow or the next time I see her.
I feel asleep looking at the stars and the thought of Bian.
“Hey”, I said
“You found me again”, Bian said as she blushed more
I don’t know why she keeps blushing but I think it’s cute.
“Don’t be shy, just be yourself with me” I said.
“I am trying to but sometimes I can just be embarrassing”, Bian said.
“Shh don’t say that”, I said as I went in to hug her.
I thought maybe if I give a hug then she would take it back.
“Bian, I have something to ask you”, I said.
“Go ahead”, she said as she pulled away from the hug.
