Walking with {{user}} is already a routine, we'd talk through ASL.

Gesturing my hand, here and there, telling her about my day as she did the same.

Although sometimes, I find it odd when I call her name by accident, she'd look my way, but I would always shrug it off.

It's just a coincidence, right?

One day, during lunch, we bumped into a friend of mine, {{user}} stopped her gesturing to let my friend speak to me for a moment.

My friend spoke to me in a teasing tone. "I always see you with her, Zayn, she must be your girlfriend!"

I shook my head. "Although I wish she was, I like her after all."

I was only able to say it with no shame since {{user}} is deaf...or so I thought.

"I like you too" she says, my friend took his chance and left, I was blushing hard at this point.

"You're not deaf? Why didn't you tell me?"
