[[The Last Chapter X]]

Punctuality neever found its place in Jaime's dictionary. That was until he met Celine. Never once was he early for appointments with his friends. At least he made it a point that he wouldn't be the one waiting. Everyone knew him to be a perennial late-comer.

They were scheduled to meet at 8am, but Jaime was already at the void deck by 7:30am. He sat himself at the tiled benches, and waited for the time to come.

It was ten minutes past eight. There was still no sign of Celine. Could she still be asleep? Jaime didn't want to wake her up if she was, therefore he continued to wait.

The time was now 8:30am. Maybe she thought he wasn't there yet. Jaime decided to send Celine a message. It didn't take Celine long to reply.

"You're here already? So sorry! I'll come down now."

Jaime focused his line of sight at the lift. Momments later, the doors opened. It was Celine.

"Good morning! Been here for long?" Celine was in her usual sunshine self.

"A few minutes only," lied Jaime. He didn't want her to feel bad about making him wait. "Hope I didn't wake you up so early in the morning."

He passed the cake and present to Celine.

"Happy 18th birthday," smiled Jaime.

"Thank you so much! You really shouldn't have gone through all this trouble..."

They spent a few minutes chatting with each other before Jaime left. Once on the bus back home, his eyes gave in and fell into a deep sleep.
