After reconciling with him, I somehow felt at peace. I was happy from deep beneath my heart that he was even considering forgiving me, even after what I put him through. It has been days, after reconciling with him. I was almost done with my drama shoot, today being the last day of the shoot. I would call him, text him now and then.
It felt amazing. I was in cloud nine. After I was done with all my shots, I decided to go see him at the hospital as it was almost time for his shift to be over. I asked my manager to go directly home and I took my car to drive to the hospital. Once at the hospital, I called him.
"Hey I am at the entrance. Are you done yet?" I inquired.
"Ya, almost done. Give me a few minutes" came the reply.
After about five minutes I saw him walk out the entrance towards my car. He neared my car and got into the passenger seat.
"Hey" he greeted with a smile while trying to buckle the seat belt.
"How was your day?" I asked him.
"It was normal. And yours?" he asked looking at me.
"Same. We finished shooting today" I said smiling at him.
"Wow! That's great" he exclaimed.
"So, wanna go have dinner some place nice?" I asked.
"Ya sure" he replied with a smile.
"Then let's go" saying we drove away.
"Ah! I almost forgot tomorrow is Rachel's birthday. She wants you to come" he said looking towards me.
"Ok" I replied.
While driving through the city lanes I stole glances at him and I still felt it as if it was a dream that he is still here with me.
"So where are you taking me?" he asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
"There's this place that people around me keeps on talking about. I have never been there but I think it is a very nice restaurant" I replied to him.
'Ok" he hummed.
After about a half a hour drive we reached to a newly opened restaurant that I found out few days ago. People around me kept talking about this restaurant, about how good the food and service here was. So, I wanted to try it out myself. After I parked the car w both got out and walked towards entrance. Once we were in, we were led by a waitress to a secluded room. Once we were inside the room and took our seats the waitress asked if we needed anything to start with. I looked towards him and asked him if he wanted something. He swayed his head implying no. I looked towards the waitress and gestured her to wait for some time.
"we'll call you when we are ready" I said to her.
After the waitress left I looked towards him and smiled.
"So?" I asked looking at him.
"So?" he asked me back confused.
"Do you like the place?" I asked.
"Ya, the ambience is nice. But I can't say yet. I have to taste the food first" he said chuckling.
We chatted about this and that for a while and then ordered the food. After a while our food came in. Once we were done we headed towards his house. Once we reached I got off the car and walked over to him and opened the door fo him.
"You don't have to do that" he said.
"No, it's my pleasure" I assured him with a smile.
Once he was out I closed the door behind him and turned around to face him.
"I had a great time" he said.
"Pleasures all mine" I answered with a smile.
"You should get going now" he said.
"You go in first" I said.
"I just have to go in. you go along" he said with a smile.
"I want to see you go in" I replied.
"Ok, then I am going in" he said in a shy tone.
"Hmmm" I hummed.
"Josh" I called out when he started walking towards the gate.
"Yes" he turned around to face me.
I walked towards him and cupped his cheeks in my palms and placed a kiss on his forehead..
"Goodnight. Sweet dream" I said pulling away and looking into those beautiful pair of eyes.
I could see his cheeks turning red by every passing seconds. He turned around and rushed towards the door. Once I saw him enter the house I walked back to my car and got inside. I gazed upon myself in the mirror and I was smiling like an idiot from ear to ear. I was that happy at how the things were right now.
I drove back to my studio apartment. I got freshened up, took a shower and climbed up on my bed. I took my phone and decide to text him.
Me: Are you asleep yet?
Josh: Just crawled on to my bed and you?
Me: Me too. Are you free tomorrow?
Josh: I have a half day tomorrow why?
Me: Just wanted to get something for Rachel. But don't know what to?
Josh: You don't have to.
Me: I want to.
Josh: Ok. Pick me up at 12.
Me: Ok. See you then.
Josh: Now go to sleep and let me sleep too. Good night.
Me: Yes Sir. Goodnight.
Next morning I woke up around 9, as I had nothing to do nor did I had to be at somewhere as my schedule was free, except for a recording session for my new solo album next week. I took a shower and came down to the kitchen to grap some breakfast.
"Good morning ajhumma' I greeted my house keeper.
"It is almost good afternoon" she said laughing.
After I had my breakfast I came back in to my room. I kept looking at the clock as every minute go by. As much as I wanted the time to go fast It seemed that it was going slower. The three hours felt like eternity. After a while I got dressed and drove towards the hospital. Once I reached, I called him telling I was here. After a while he came rushing towards the car.
"I am sorry. I had a last minute patient" he said as soon as he got in to the car.
"No its no problem" I replied with a smile.
I unbuckled my seat belt and stretched out myself towards him to get the seat belt to his side.
"What are you doing?" he asked as I neared him.
"Seat belt" I replied as I buckled it.
I could see him blushing. Every time he blushes it made hard for me to resist kissing him at that right moment.
"Cute" I muttered.
"Pardon?" he asked facing me.
"I said you look cute when you blush" I repeated.
He blushed even more at my comment.
"Are we going or not?" he asked trying to change the topic at the same time trying to hide his face by cupping them in his palms.
"Never hide those rosy cheeks and that beautiful face from me" I said removing his palms from his face.
Then he looked up to me and our eyes met. He looked away immediately.
'Should we get going then?" I asked.
"Hmm" he mumbled.
We arrived at a gift shop that deals with some rare gift hands made items. It was located at the outskirts of the city. We both got in the shop. It was not much crowded. We looked around the shelves.
"What do you think I should gift her?" I asked him.
"Right now she is obsessed with webtoon" he replied.
"Not that. I want to gift her something that will last forever. Who knows maybe someday I may become her brother-in-law?" I said in a teasing manner.
"Shut up" he said glaring at me and blushing at the same time.
"But seriously speaking, what should I?" I said in a serious tone.
"How about a dress?" he suggested.
"Hey, you are her bother not me. How am I supposed to know?"b I replieds looking at me.
"Just gift her anything" he said and walked away towards the waiting area and took a seat.
I looked around the selves and then finally found a beautiful piece of water ball with a Barbie dancing inside. The base was hand crafted and it looked so elegant. I looked around for some more and picked up two or three items and brought them to the cashier.
"Hey, why so many?" he asked looking at the things I picked up.
"Because I want to" I replied with a smile.
"But" I sushed him off.
"Ssshhhh. It's my gift for her not yours".
He gave up. I had them gift wrapped and walked out towards where the car was parked.
"You not gonna get anything for her?" I asked him.
"I already gifted her last night" he replied.
"So, then let's go" he added.
"Let me first drop by at my house and then we can go" I said as we drove away towards my house.
I got the dress I asked my stylist to buy for her and got back in to the car and drove towards his home.
"Ah! I almost forgot the cake" he exclaimed.
We drove towards the cake shop and got the cake and then headed towards his home. Once in I wished Rachel a happy birthday and gifted the gifts to her. She was so excited that she opened the gifts right away. After seeing the gifts she was so happy that she pulled me in to a hug and kissed my cheeks and thanked me. We had the celebrations with foods and cakes. It was almost 9 when I got back home.
