CHAPTER SIXTY TWO

  THEME: Be my date

  CHICAGO, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

  AT RIA ROBERT APARTMENT

  Ria frowned at the bedside watch when she heard the doorbell. The time was 10:30 p.m and she was already getting ready to sleep after the long day work at the orphanage home. Slowly and lazily, Ria hopped out of bed and motioned out of the room. She made her way towards the door and peered through the small gap on it. It was Ian!

  Ian stood outside her door with a half smile on his lips when she opened the door. A searching look in his eyes as he took notice of what she was wearing. "I hope that I am not coming at a bad time? I mean..it is late.”

  "No..no..it is alright. I wasn’t asleep yet.” Ria stepped aside for him to walk into the house.

  Suddenly she felt weak in the knees and butterflies sputtered in her belly when his body brushed hers. It was a ridiculous overreaction of seeing him. But there it was happiness hitting her straight in the heart at his presence. She missed him so badly.
