044 | her first love?

After visiting the headstone of Bianca Foster in Green Memorial, all of them proceeded to Orange Mall.

"Have you decided what you'd like, Natasha?" Maurice asked.

"I think I have," she answered.

She had something in mind. She recalled that she watched a movie with Bianca before, so she wanted to do that with her parents and grandparents this time.

"I'm all ears," Maurice said.

"Is it all right if we can watch a movie at the cinema?" she asked.

If Maurice or Emily wouldn't grant it, she had another one in mind. She would have stationery stuff as her second option.

"Of course, Natasha," Maurice answered. "Didn't I tell you we are going to grant what you want?"

She beamed. "Thank you, Grandpa!"

She didn't expect that Maurice would agree to it and Emily didn't tell something about what she would like to have. She couldn't thank her grandparents enough for this gift.

"What movie do you like to watch, Natasha?" Emily asked.

If she was honest, she didn't browse the latest movies that were available in cinemas, so she didn't have an idea of what to watch. She looked at the movies that were lined up to watch. She chose the most appealing poster, in her opinion, that caught her attention.

"Oh, I want to watch that!" she pointed at it.

All of them looked at the details of the movie poster.

Diana placed her right index finger on her chin. "Between Me and You is the title? It sounds like a romance genre yet the visual of the poster looks like an action genre?"

"It starts after the ideal dinner time, so we still have free two hours to roam around," Bryan said.

"I'll purchase those movie tickets and then I want to go to the arcade," she said.

"I want to take a look at the apparels in the department store," Diana said.

"I want to get refreshed, so I'll get a massage," Emily said.

"Let's meet around at Chilli's to eat dinner when the free two hours expire," Bryan said.

She nodded. "Got it, Pops!"

Diana, Emily, and Maurice had no objections about it.

Maurice chuckled. "As for Bryan and I, we have to accompany our wives here."

Emily gave Natasha cash to spend the movie tickets and extra for some indulgence of Natasha. "You keep this, all right?"

She nodded. "I will, Grandma."

"See you later at Chilli's, Dear," Bryan waved his right hand and then looked at Maurice and Emily. "See you later as well, Mother, Father."

"I'm sure we will," Emily said.

"Let's see each other later, Mum, Pops, Grandma, and Grandpa!" she waved her right hand as well.

She went to the last floor of the mall using the escalator. She surmised that cinemas were located on the last floor of the mall since she had never encountered a mall where the cinemas were on the ground floor.

It didn't take her long to reach the cinema. Just as she thought, the cinemas were often found on the last floor.

Luckily for her, she didn't have to wait in line to purchase movie tickets. She walked towards the counter while she was looking for the cash that Emily lent in her bag.

She finally found it, so she looked at the person who was in charge of receiving the payment for the movie and then providing movie tickets.

"I'll have—" but in an instant, she didn't expect to see someone from her past again, so she didn't manage to finish what she had to tell.

Noah Clancy.

"Margaux?" she didn't hear that name for a long time.

She would pretend that she didn't know who Noah was. She repeated in her head that she should calm down and look at him straight in the eye.

"I'll have five tickets for Between Me and You please," she said.

Noah smiled. "I thought I wouldn't see you again, Margaux."

"Excuse me?" she tried her best to stay cool, but her tone failed her. "Don't talk like you are pals with me, Mister!"

"How cold of you, Margaux," Noah couldn't believe that she was acting indifferent towards him.

"Are you drunk, Mister?" she asked. "You must have loose screws in your head after you broke up with your girlfriend, so stop referring me a someone else's name when it's not my goddamn name!"

"You're Margaux! You can't fool me!" Noah knew he wasn't mistaken about it.

"Seriously!" she didn't want this to happen. All she wanted was to get those five movie tickets. "Do you want me to stitch your goddamned lips, you shithead!?"

She was startled when Noah held her left wrist. She glared at him afterward.

"I'm lending you two options here, Mister, let go of me or I'll scream that you're an absolute pervert that needs to go to jail," she warned.

"We're not done—" Noah wasn't even done talking when he lost his hold of her because someone pulled her away from him. "What the hell!?"

"Mister Cinnamon!?" she couldn't believe that Baker was here.
