I heaved a sigh and just rolled my eyes. I looked at Laurene who was looking at me. She’s trying not to laugh as she was biting her lower lip. I tried to look also to Candice who was waiting for my ‘yes’ when I tilt my head to her as she was also standing outside. What should I do now? But I honestly don’t want to go back there! Ugh! I said, mumbling to myself. Suddenly, I heard my phone ring inside my bag. I abruptly took it out then I opened the screen. And there, I saw Heaven’s name flash on my notification. I abruptly checked his text message and read it. “Hi, Lola. How are you?” “Are you available this 8 pm? If it is okay with you, I just want to have dinner with you…” Those are the messages that I’ve read from Heaven. As I read all of them, I immediately type to text back to him. Speaking of this--Yeah, I think it’s a good idea so that we will not go back there at Monte House. I hide my smirk. Yes. I'll take them with me to our Heaven’s dinner. And I know they will love it
We are now walking towards the restaurant after parking the car. I know Heaven was now already there as he texted me while I’m on my way going here with my friends. And speaking of my friends---Summer seems can’t wait to see Heaven. She almost put foundation on her face and any things just to allure Heaven while we are on the road. Ugh! Also, Trisha, Jane, and Candice can’t stop talking about Heaven and their so-called men. I just rolled my eyes and shake my head also Laurene seems irritated about their nonstop talking about their men. Damn it! The heck. “Guys! He's there!” we all looked at Heaven when Laurene saw him. He is now standing right there in front of the entrance, trying to take a quick peek at his phone and looking around as looks like he is waiting for me. I felt something a bit nervous and pressured because I am the only one that he invites to have dinner with him tonight. I know he is expecting only me and not my friends. Talking about this--now that we are now walk
As we reached our dining place, we take now our seats when Heaven and Clark give us seats. Heaven ordered us first and he give our orders to Clark that is in front of us, listing our orders. And then, he left for a while when his done listing our orders. As we are at this moment, Trisha is seated on my left side and Candice was beside me, on the right side. Jane and Laurene sit next to each other while Laurene was beside Heaven, which we facing as he was in my front. I noticed Trisha gasped for a second and started our conversation. “By the way, how are you? Heaven?” I put my attention to Heaven who was now clasping his hands as it was on top of the table, putting his eyes now on Trisha. “I’m fine. And besides, I am with you guys, again..” he tried to look at each of us and smiled at us. He adjusted his seat when he lean his back to where he was seated. “Oh, what about your business?” Summer joined them. She was leaning her elbow on the table, while her palm supported her face. Se
“U-uhmm, are you going home now?” Heaven asked me as we’re now walking outside the restaurant. We are actually done with our dinner and it takes almost one hour for us to finish because my friends, can’t stop talking about many kinds of stuff with Heaven and I just let them. Laurene and I just talk to each other because it seems that we’re not existing and look not we’re not with them as they are busy chit-chatting Heaven. The heck. Speaking of that--it does not give me time to talk to Heaven about some important matters, especially what I wanted to say to him. But I think, I’ll just say it to him about our dinner and why my friends were with me at our dinner. Ugh! I feel now that I am becoming guilty because of what I did. Ugh! Damn! “So what about you, Lola? Are you going with us now?” it caught my attention when I heard Laurene asking me. Talking about this--I didn’t notice that we are now here in the parking area and my friends are now getting inside the car that we use going
For a while, it makes me throw those thoughts when I heard someone cough behind my back. The heck! I didn’t remember that Heaven was here with me! Damn! “U-uh-ahh, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean--” “No, it’s okay…” he said when he uttered, cutting off my words, then he chuckled, making me do it also. "If you don’t mind, are you just okay?” I know he noticed that I am in deep thought and like I am worried about some things. That’s why maybe, he asked that. I looked at him straightly on his face as I spoke. “Y-yeah. I’m just fine. Nothing to worry about..” I said smiling and nodding at him. With that, he averted his eyes from me. He rubbed his neck for a moment then afterward, he just put it in his pants. “Anyway, could we go back there inside? Or you prefer?” he was waiting for me to respond as his attention was on me. I pressed my lips then replied. “Yeah. Let’s just go back there..” I said and he nod. At this time, I noticed his expression change to serious and there was something th
Throwing those thoughts, I take a look at him again and I noticed that this time, his expression became serious. He stared at me for a moment, making us surrounds a silence. It seems he was reading me, if what was on my mind as his eyes were on me--meeting our eyes to each other. As I feel uncomfortable at this moment, I sighed and tried to chuckle. I was intent to open my mouth to continue what I will say also. Ugh! I don’t know but I feel awkward as he was in front of me. Maybe because I am not used to it and my androphobia is a bit attacking me. Yes, it is because just of what happened in my past--about what Kade did to me. But with Heaven’s case, I know this is just the first time that we’re in this situation. Particularly, there’s something that makes me feel a bit uneasy about what he will really say and his looks toward me. Ugh! I just don’t know. I always feel it every time I was with Heaven alone. And talking about him--I can’t deny that he is handsome. His black sleeves
For a moment, I took a glass of wine and sipped it. “Anyway, did you too Adam already have time to talk with each other? I mean, you too are closed with each other?” I stopped sipping the wine when my ears become interested in hearing his words as he uttered them. I inhaled first before I let out a word. “Honestly, no. We're not...” he said straightforwardly. I noticed a glimpse of his smile plastered on his lips. He leaned his back on his seat and took a glass of wine, sipping it. “U-uh, okay..” I just said. Maybe I'll be looks like a detective if I keep asking about him and Adam, and he might be asking more for questioning him. That’s enough for me for now to know it. I shrugged. I just sipped my wine in my glass. “Lola, about what did you say to me…” he placed his glass on the table. He crossed his legs while his hands were still holding his wine. “Oh. Is it about my friends? Am I right?” making it clear to him. I smiled while putting down the glass to put my attention on him
I stepped out of the car as we passed through the gate of the house. Heaven opened the door for me, graciously allowing me to exit first before he got out of the driver's seat. Once he was out, he closed the door, and I turned to face him, finding that he had done the same. "Thank you, Heaven, for dinner and for taking me home..." I briefly lowered my head, then looked up at him with a smile. With his hands tucked into his pants, he responded, "You're welcome," a radiant smile spreading across his lips. For a moment, silence enveloped us, and we stood there, neither of us uttering a word. Suddenly, I noticed him exhale deeply, the warmth of his breath reaching me. Breaking the silence between us, I spoke up, "Anyway, I'll go inside now." he simply nodded in response, and I pressed my lips together. Just as I was about to turn away, I caught a glimpse of him trying to say something, his mouth slightly open. "Lola..." he called out suddenly, our eyes meeting in that instant. "Yes?" I
