CXXXVII

LAIA HAD NO IDEA what to feel about how after she sent those messages to Samuel's new phone number the boy was immediately at the gates of her house holding two huge bouquets of roses and even a bottle of wine.

He was even wearing a formal fucking suit!

"What the hell are you wearing?" She was quick to look at him with a judgmental expression on her face, a frown on her lips, even. "I never told you that you had to bring all this stuff!"

She gestures at how he even had two bags of what Laia assumed to be chocolates on both sides of his legs as he is unable to carry them all.

"Why did you--"

"Hi,"

Laia found herself stopping from continuing to reprimand the boy further with just a smile appearing on the boy's lips as he raised both his hands to show Laia what he was bringing, almost as if the girl couldn't see what he was bringing in the first place.
