Chapter 6: The date

Part 6: the date

(Don't have time to proof read this but if I do, I will do it so for now sorry for grammatical and typo errors)

She is excited for their long awaited second meet-up which is also their first date. She happily informed her friend about the the event. It was friday that night they were out buying some groceries and other stuff at the mall.

"Je, I won't be home tomorrow. I have a date with Haii" She said smiling. The listener knows how happy she is.

"For how many days? You-" before he can start to lecture her, she cut him off.

"It's a 2-day and 1 night tour. Didn't I mentioned this to you already? We won't be staying in one room you know?" She assured her friend, she knows he is just protective of her.

"Ohoooo, is that so? Want me to buy condom? For protection incase he forgets to bring one" Je teased her in return.

"And here I thought you're really concerned" she hissed.

"I am though. If he messed with my friend, he will be facing me. I will make sure that his face won't be useful again" He said being serious again.

She laughed so hard and said "I can take care of myself you know? but if incase he tries something funny I'll let you help me bury him 6 feet below the ground"

Their cart is getting full of foods, snacks and for personal hygiene.

"You'll pay right?" She said smiling to the other person and that made him just nod in return. This spoiled brat, he thought.

"Let's go eat after we pay! My treat!" She is touchy if she is with her friends so its normal for her to hold on to the arm of the other person or if he puts his arm to her shoulder.

After paying their groceries, they went to find a restaurant to eat.

"I saw something that looks nice earlier" she said then pulled the hand of her friend towards the said restaurant. It's Japanese restaurant and since they both love Japanese food. It's a buffet so they can eat as much as they want.

She is too emerge in eating that she have not noticed that someone snaps a picture of them.

Jeremy dropped her off in front of her dorm room leaving all the groceries with her and just picks a plastic with few food and his personal necessities.

Saturday morning came. She woke up by the knock on her door. She looked at her phone and found out that it's just 7:30 AM, her agreement with Haii is he will be picking her up by 10 AM.

She didn't even washed her face and just went straight to the door, curious and the same time she is mad at the person who knocks this early.

She is mesmerised by the tall and handsome figure in front of her.

"Why did you knock so early? Why are you dressed up?" She said and gtinned after realizing who it is, she lead the man inside and she went directly to the bathroom to wash her face.

"Trace called so fvckin early. She wants to meet us by 8:30 and wants to discuss something" He said, she can feel that he is also annoyed.

"Do you know what it is? I'm still sleepy" she sat at the couch, slouching. "can't you just meet her and just inform me what the important thing is." she said and determined not to go out.

Je stood and picked up her robe "Already asked her that but she said you must be present. Now go take a bath 'cause you stink! " He throws the robe to her after saying it and then he went to her refrigerator to get some milk.

They meet with Trace and she discussed some things with the two of them. It's an hour long talk. Je drives the car back to their dorm since she has to fix her make up. She put a light foundation and a blush on then lipstick. She is already a beauty without make up so she looks stunning with them on.

"Let's meet at the parking" she sent the message to Haii. She already informed the other person that she will meet up with someone from the school first since it seems to be urgent.

After parking their car. Megan and Jeremy is talking about what was discussed by trace to them while waiting for haii.

From a far she noticed Haii getting out of the car. She waited for him to approach them first since she is talking with Je. She motioned to Je that the person they're waiting for have arrived.

To annoy the other person, Je moves closer to Megan and put his arm into her shoulder and whispered to her ear "He must be jealous that I did this" and grinned.

There's no mistake there, he really is annoyed by the sight. He looks like shooting daggers to Je while walking towards them.

"Where's your belongings?" Haii asked Megan upon approaching her. He is trying to be nice since no matter what that Jeremy is still her friend and she trust that guy maybe even more than she does with him.

"It's in the car." She went to take her things off the car and waived goodbye to Je as she walked with haii to his car.

It's a 3 hour long ride until they reach their destination.

"Is he just a friend?" Haii asked.

"He is" She answered. Keeping it simple.

"Yet it seems you're not just a friend to him" haii said that made her laughed. "I don't know how others see it but that guy is like a brother to me and I'm like his sister and..." She paused a bit then continues "...He already have someone" She said.

"Ok ok, I won't ask more about him. It's just that he cares for you a little too much than a brother should, also he messes with me and I'm annoyed that he do it all the time" he said.

"I know hahaha he always does that to everyone and always teases everyone's lover when we are still in the Philippines" She said while laughing. She never really stopped her friends teasing her suitors or boyfriend before since her friends knows their limitations.

He take her to one of the shrine to make merits and then they head to an outdoor restaurant with a beautiful view and a romantic vibe, a sweet piano music in the back ground. They enjoyed the moment talking about themselves and telling the other person about their past experience.

You really won't notice the time when you are enjoying the moment. It's almost 6 PM.

After the romantic date in the restaurant they're headed to the beach where they're going to spend the night. Haii already prepared everything.

He helped Megan to bring her things to her room. He let her rest and informed her that he will pick her up by 10PM then he went to his own room which is just the opposite side of hers.

He really valued her and respect her. All he wants are the best for her and he is being possessive of her. He loves her.

10PM

He knocks on her door. He can smell of the soap as she opened the door. She obviously took a bath and is wearing a laced see-through dress that makes her figure visible to the audience. A jaw dropping sight. He is mesmerised by her beauty.

He lead her downstairs. They walked hand in hand as they're heading to a small hut with flowers and candles on it. There's a table in the center with food, whine and some candles.

So romantic, she thought. You can see through her eyes that she really appreciates the effort of the man beside her.

"P'haii... I think this is too much. I..." before she finished her sentence she look at the eyes of the man beside her. "I... I don't know what to say, thank you P" Her eyes is clouded with tears that is about to fall.

He smiled at her "No, this is not enough yet. Nothing's too much if it's for you. This is to show how much I care and love you" he said while staring at her. He wiped the tears from her face that just started to fall.

They're embracing the moment together. They eat and have a small talk.

"If you're not sleepy yet let's take a walk first." He invited her. They walked to the seaside, his hand is on her shoulder and her hand is on his waist. He leads her to sit. There's a blanket that is placed on the sand. They're looking at the ocean, How calming it is. Life is the same as the ocean. No matter how strong the storm is and how wild and tyrant the waves are. You should just learn how to dance with the waves, eventually it will calm itself down.

He looked at her eyes. He hold both of her hands and said "I know I may not be the perfect one for you but I'm trying to be the right one. Please give me a chance to be your boyfriend"

She stared at him until her tears runs through her face. She squeezed his hands and say "Of course, I'll stay with you as long as this life permits. Let us be each others happiness and strength"

He smiled, he leaned and kiss her forehead and hug her. "I love you" he whispered to her. He really loved her and she also feels the same way.

She looked up at the other person, she breaks free from the hug and looked at his eyes "I love you too" She said and then she laid a soft kiss on his lips. He is shocked but before he can recover she already hugged him.

They stayed for a bit while embracing each other talking about life, feeling the moment, looking up at the starts. It's already late at night when they've decided to go back to their own rooms both don't want to part but he respect her and he don't want her to think that he is just taking advantage of her.

He woke up late his head is still on cloud nine and his heart is so full. He is happy and inlove. They have to eat and prepare to leave. He took a bath before she went out and fetch her for breakfast.

They left around noon and went to some tourist spots first, they took a picture of each other and together before they head home.

"Byy... I- I know it's wrong for me to ask this but can we keep this relationship first from the public?" She giggled when called her byy. She understands his reasons, he is working in the entertainment industry and he has this series, it will not sell if one of the shipped actors has a romantic lover in real life.

"I understand, you don't have to worry about that. You don't have to feel bad." she said as she looked at him. "...but is it okay if I let my friends know about us? They won't tell a soul" she assured him.

"Ofcourse it's okay, I will also introduce you to my friends if time permits." He said as he smiled back to her.

They arrived at the parking of her dorm. He is going to walk her to her dorm.

"Je? Hey, did you play basketball? You're sweating too much" she calls the other person who is walking at the other side.

She approached him and hand a tissue for him to wipe his face.

"Oh, you guys are back?" Jeremy asked.

"Uhm" she answered nodding her head.

"Lets go" Haii put his arm in her waist to motion her to go. She looked at her boyfriend and smiled. He is being jealous again, she thought.

Jeremy followed both of them. He already have a clue on what's going on but he wants to tease him.

While in the elevator, it's too awkward for the three of them and one is glaring at the other while the other one is grinning. She has to change the atmosphere.

"Je..." before she finish what she is about to say to Jeremy, he interrupts her and said. "I'll go to your dorm, okay? Let me get some foods and I have something to discuss with you" He said. He really intend to agitate the boyfriend of his friend.

She just shake her head in disbelief and smiled a bit. She knows what evil things running in Jeremy's mind.

They reached the 11th floor, which is where her dorm is located. She opened the door. Jeremy went in first without waiting for her permission.

"Byy, do you want to go in?" She asked her boyfriend. He just nodded and followed her inside.

They found Jeremy gulping the water down. He already take his shift off and he eats apple right after.

Haii seats at the sofa while Jeremy ang Megan is at the kitchen. He is just looking at them but can't understand what they're saying nor can hear them properly.

"Did you already think about what trace said?" Jeremy asked. She just shook her head.

"...but I guess, I'll accept it. Why not right? It's a good opportunity" She said.

"So it's a go from the two of us. She texted me earlier saying that she needs our answer by tomorrow" He said while scrolling through his phone and showed her the message of the other party.

"Did you say about this to him already?" Jeremy inquired and she just shake her head and turned her head to the other guest.

"Byy, do you want some fruits or juice?" She looked at her boyfriend who is sitting at the sofa and is looking at them while they talk.

"I'm okay byy, just water will do" Haii said. He is curious what they're talking about but can't bring himself to ask her. He wants her to open up to him by herself, he doesn't want to rush her.

She put the water to the table. He took the glass of water, take few sips and asked "What did you guys talked about?" he cannot stop himself from asking her.

"Uhh, school stuffs. Something needs confirmation by Monday" She said, she didn't lie but she didn't tell the whole truth either.

He still wanted to ask more but his manager is calling him. He motioned to her that he will take the call first and after exchanging few words with his manager, he turned to her.

"Byy I have to go, I have to meet with P'leo now. He said he has to discuss something about work" He said and She just nodded.

She walked him to the door. He kissed her first before he open the door. "I'll call you later"

She went in again and she still see her friend in the kitchen chomping his second apple.

"I will surprise him if this goes well" She said to her friend.

"Remember, you also said that prior meeting him here right? But instead you were the one who who got surprised instead" Jeremy said smirking.

"Yeah. I trust him but I also want to know the work in this field and also there is no harm in learning his environment right as he try to adjust to mine" She said.

She feel that things are so easy for them, must be something is up. She's too happy and too inlove to notice things.
