''It was. I had to walk out. I just regret that I was kind enough to pay my share of the bill. I should have let him pay for it,'' Millie replied.
''Well, it happens at times. Some of these guys are total jerks. You will wonder where they were raised. Am just happy you are fine. You will get someone better next time. 'Selina responded.
''I will. When I was walking out of the restaurant, I had a small collision with some guy there. He works there, and he was very kind. He told me he had seen how terrible my date was and offered to take me home to make me feel better. I accepted, and we went home together. I loved his kindness and empathy. He is just the kind of a guy I would love for a boyfriend. ''Millie said.
‘’What is his name? Did you get his number?’’
''I didn't get his number. In fact, I just realized how handsome he was when I went into the house." Millie responded.
Just then, the bell rang, and both girls ran to their
In the kitchen making supper with her mother, Millie received a call from Bobby asking that they meet the following day.''Mom, I have a date on Friday with my friend Selina and the brother. ''Millie said, and she saw her mom drop the pan because of shock.Teresa appeared to be thinking for some time before she said it was okay and that Millie should take care. Millie felt sorry for having to lie to her mom and bringing up Selina's name. Still, she couldn't tell her the truth. Yet, she knew her mother would put unreasonable pressure on her concerning the friendship between her and Bobby, and she was not ready for that.They made supper quietly and ate silently, the awkward silence between them very visible. Teresa seemed to know Millie was lying but didn't have it in her to push her beyond the boundaries they had drawn without really drawing. It was because of her withdrawal post her divorce from Millie's dad.Nick and Teresa had been only 21 when they go
''I didn't know the cheese here is so delicious. It really must be the chef's special dish to a lucky girl, 'Bobby said, and Millie blushed at the compliment.She had been receiving many such comments lately, and if she were to count, she would say the comments she had received over the last month alone were much more than any she had received in her life. Millie couldn't even remember if she had ever received any compliment other than being praised for performing well.''Mmmh. Are you jealous about it? Your food is also delicious, but…I can never go for it any day' 'Millie replied, and Bobby laughed out loud, attracting a number of stares from others in the restaurant.‘’ What do you love most in a relationship? ’Bobby asked.'Well, answering that question is tough because I have never been in a relationship before. 'Millie answered.Bobby started laughing and was almost choked on his food. 'Nice comedy there. Have you eve
“Beep. Beep.” Your phone must be ringing’ ’Bobby tells Millie as they walk home. He had insisted on walking her home instead of having her take an Uber home because he still wanted to spend time with her.''Yes. It must be my mom or Selina. I don't have many people in my life who can call me, so it is easier to know who is calling,' 'Millie said.‘’Why didn’t you mention me?’’''Don't joke. Are you not beside me? Why would you call me if I am walking next to you? 'Millie answered before realizing that bobby was joking with her mind.She received the call and talked to Teresa, assuring her that she was on her way home. Millie could sense from her voice that something was bothering her and surely hoped it was something minor. She knew from experience how her mom shuts down people when she is under stress, and she didn't want that at a time when her life was beginning to bloom.‘’We hav
''Why don't we go to my house then? My mum will be out at work, and we will have the whole place to ourselves.''They walked towards the back of the school and left after giving the security guy an excuse that Millie needed to get her medicine from home.''I will make us some tea. Make yourself comfortable,'' Millie said.As they drank their two, Millie could tell that Selina was getting impatient and really needed to know what the problem was.‘’My dad came here, ’Millie said and kept quiet.Selina was silent, waiting for her to continue talking. All the time they had known each other, Millie had never talked about her father, who made Selina assume that anything about him must have been sour. She also knew that if she wanted Millie to open up, she had to let her talk without any interruptions.‘’He came with his wife and son. I didn’t even remember him. He left when I was just three years old, I suppose.
''Which game do you play at school' 'Selina asks Millie. ''I have never seen you play any games.''''Why do I need to exercise? Look at me, am I not fit? 'Millie responds, standing up and stretches her arms for Selina to size her up.''Haha. You might be slim, but that doesn't mean you are fit. Exercising keeps one fit and….''‘’I know all you want to say. The problem is I haven’t found a sport that I like. Plus, because of the fact that I was always avoiding people, I didn’t consider sports as something I could do, ’Millie cuts her short.''Am asking because I know you don't have plans, and Felix invited me to the hockey games at Sage high school. I thought you might want to come. 'Selina says.Millie pulls out her phone and tells Selina that she will try her best despite the fact that they should start testing her for the transplant.''If I don't go to the hospital, count me in. However, if plans do not
Bobby dropped all he was carrying and stormed towards Alex. Millie had never seen him so upset. His eyes were beetroot red, and one could easily see all the lines drawn on his face.Being the idiot he was, Alex didn't bother to run away. Having dated Bobby for a while, he knew exactly what could make him angry, and at this moment, he knew he had pressed the wrong button, but he couldn't care.Bobby moved near him, and raising his fist suddenly, he punched Alex on his face till he bled. Millie was shell-shocked and stood rooted where she was. Some of the guys Alex was with came to pick him up and apparently do for him first aid.Millie walked to Bobby, who had turned rigid and was apparently still so angry.''You need to get back to the field. Go and order something else and take it to Marcus, Selina, and Felix. I can't go back to the game. I need to be alone for some time. 'Bobby said.Millie stood thinking for some time before saying that sh
''You sure can trust me. Tell me, bro, what's up? 'Bobbyinsists forcing Marcus to tell him.He talks of how he had always secretly admired Selina because he thought she was cute and had good qualities. Despite knowing how to advise his friends about relationships, he could not use the same advice for himself, which is why he was single. He says he is only able to talk about it then because nothing can be done about it as Selina is very happy with Felix and her happiness is very important to him.Bobby was shocked by the revelation, but he was finally able to understand why Marcus was always looking out after his sister. He was embarrassed that he had not noticed anything in all these years, but Marcus assured him that no one knew about it. He also asked her not to mention a thing to Selina because he did not want their relationship to be awkward.When they left and got back to the bar, they were both surprised to find Alex there. He was bandaged on the face, and
Bobby pulls the chair for Millie to sit on, and after their meal, Bobby gathers courage and tells Millie exactly how he feels about her. He tells her that he knows she feels the same way after seeing her reaction to the kiss. He also says he knows she might be afraid of Alex, but Alex was no longer a part of his life.Millie once again walks away without answering Bobby. She can't believe what I happening. She had waited for confirmation from Bobby about his love, and when he finally did confess, she ran away. What was wrong with her?She decides to drop by Selina's place, and luckily enough, she finds her home. Millie looks like someone who has been panting, and Selina offers her a glass of water.She then tells Selina what happened. She tells her that she actually loves Bobby but is afraid of getting hurt since she has heard of how much people are affected by heartbreaks.''Millie, you can do better than this. I suggest you try it out first. Do not thro
