Chapter 5

Natasha POV

A week later

I woke up as usual and a smile curled on my lips when I thought about my second date.

It was very special and memorable for me after the first one. He kissed my cheek to bid me bye as he did on the first date.

Then he asked me for the third week after a week. I was feeling very happy.

I felt sad when I thought that he is too an orphan just like me. But I would try my best to fill that void in his life if he wanted me too.

Even if as a friend. Speaking of a friend, Kelly came back yesterday and she told me that she would meet me today.

I got out of my bed and did my daily routine and got ready into a black t-shirt with blue denim after the shower.

I picked up an apple and ate it quickly then walked out of my apartment after locking it.

I have never eaten anything in breakfast other than an apple. It was my daily routine.

I would never waste my money on something like this. I mean one-time food is enough for me.

I put my hands in my pocket and walked toward the Restaurant. I haven't seen Liam here after our first date.

I didn't pay attention to it. Maybe he has changed his way. It's a minor issue.

I walked inside the restaurant and changed into the waitress's dress which was a white blouse and black skirt with a white apron.

I walked out of the restaurant after bidding goodbye to Mr. Cameron (owner of the restaurant).

I started to walk toward my house while thanking God for ending my shift.

A creepy person who came to the restaurant was constantly staring at me.

I hated his gaze but I couldn't do anything because he paid a huge tip in the tip jar.

And also because he was rich. He was wearing a classy business suit and also he had done nothing other than staring.

I had sent Sandy to take his order but he told her that he wanted me to serve him.

I was uncomfortable around him but didn't do anything. I had taken his order quickly with a professional face.

The beeped of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. My face lit up when I saw the name.

It was from Kelly. She has sent me the message that she is standing outside my apartment.

I fastened my pace and within 10 minutes, I reached my apartment.

She was standing outside my apartment as she had said and was looking beautiful as always



As soon as she saw me, she lunged at me and hugged me tight and I returned her hug with a chuckle.

"I missed you Naty so much." She squealed in my ear making me wince.

"I missed you too kelly. But for God sake stop shouting in my ear." I said with a smile and she pulled away with a pout.

"You are bad. But I am forgiving only because you are my bestie." She grinned

I shook my head with a smile and unlocked the door. We entered inside and she slumped on the couch with a sigh.

I turned toward her and said "I am going to take a quick shower till then take some rest. After that, I would make a delicious dinner for you."

She nodded and closed her eyes. I went inside the room and went inside the bathroom with PJs.

After taking a quick shower, I wore my clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

I heard her soft snores as soon as I entered the living room. I went toward the open kitchen and made spaghetti and mushroom risotto.

After an hour, I was done making both and went toward the couch to wake her up.

She woke and wiped the drool from her face and I laughed loudly at that.

I served her the food then to myself. She ate the first bite and squealed loudly.

"Oh, God. This is amazing Naty. I loved it." She grinned

I smiled back at her and said a thank you then ate my food.

After eating and washing the dishes, we sat on my bed well more like we're lying on it.

"So. How was your first date?" She asked me curiously.

My eyes lit up when I thought about it and said "It was amazing kelly. He behaved like a gentleman. And then he told me that he liked me and wanted me to take on a second date."

I was grinning like a fool when I completed telling her. She was looking at me with shock then grinned.

"I am so glad that my little girl is growing up. So now spill what happened on the second date." She asked excitedly

With a smile, I told her about our second date which was also nice like the previous one.

"And he wanted to take me on a date next week. And I said yes" I said and took a breath finally, after telling her.

"Wow. Seems like a good guy. What's his name?" She asked and put her head in my lap.

"His name is Liam and he is too an orphan just like me," I told her with a sad smile.

She gave me back an angry one and said "I am your family Naty. You are alone." 

"And I am glad," I said and kissed her head.

"So have you guys kissed each other yet?" She asked me with a raised eyebrow.

I blushed at that thought and shook my head then said "Ummm. He had only kissed my cheek thrice." 

She gave a smile then her expression turned serious and she sat up and looked at me in the eyes seriously.

"Ok, Naty, I know that it's new for you. And I am like your sister so I don't want you to get hurt. So please listen to me." She said with a serious look.

I nodded my head and said, "of course I would listen to you."

"You are new to this relationship and dating things. And I have done it and am still doing it. So."

She sighed and grabbed my hand and said "Don't let him get physical to you without any commitments. By commitment, I mean like giving you a promise ring, engagement ring etc. Do you understand me?" 

I nodded my head and said, "Of course I wouldn't let him have umm sex with me before any commitment."

She smiled and said "I am not discouraging you. If you want you can sex with him. But I know you, sweety. You aren't that type."

"But there are a lot of men who only want your body. They won't care about your heart or your feelings. They think that they can easily lure us with their fake affection and money." She whispered in pain.

She then placed her palm on my face and said "I just don't want you to get hurt. I know you would get your feelings involved in it. Then it would hurt you so much. And I don't want you to go through that pain. You are really a sensitive girl"

"And most of all you don't deserve that type of pain." She continued

I just hugged her and said, "I am glad I have a friend like you."

"Same Naty same." She whispered.
