Rachel POV

“ Where are you going to, dressed so perfectly well?” Arianca asked while looking at me while I dressed myself up and looked into the mirror.

“ Why asking ?” I asked while applying lipstick to my lips.

“ How's this?” I questioned her about keeping myself busy with my make-up.

“ You look perfect “ she paused. “ I mean top notch “ she chuckled to get words which made me give some blush before I picked up my new purse from the sitting room couch.

As I made my way through the door, Arianca called me back with her words. “ Rachel, you didn't drop any money for food “ I reacted with the words I whispered to myself ‘ jeez ‘.


As I reacted, I opened up my purse to see it almost half empty. I just had to go through all the money to discover just 200$ which couldn't be enough for me at that point to have a date.

“ Hmmmm,” I looked through the money in confusion and thought to myself what I could do with the money.


“ Take this “ I stretched out my hands towards her.

“ Thanks, sis” She gave me this normal look as she counted through the money.

Her character at that time shows as if the money given to her is just worth less than what she expected at that time from me. I was literally down in cash to give a higher money.


After all myself and sister issues were over, I walked out of the apartment and approached one of the restaurants myself and Ryan agreed on.

As I walked into the restaurant the appealing aroma of a nice bouquet filled up my nose still with the cool temperature from the air conditioner set at almost all sides of the very large restaurant.


As I took a seat still looking at the wonderful place in surprise and great love for it, I immediately got distracted by a feeling of warm hands around my shoulder area feeling much like a double tap on my shoulder.

“ Ohh,’ I reacted as soon as I noticed it was no one else than the Ryan I was waiting for.

He smiled at me as soon as I stood up from my sitting position, still looking at him but this time feeling shy.

“ I hope you like it here?” He asked as he picked up a chair opposite me still on the same table.

“ Yes, you actually get the eyes for good things' ' I smiled as I replied to his questions.

“ Nice to hear,” he said to me.

“ So, what would you love to take ?” He questioned me by passing over the book menu to me.

“ Water can do” I smiled at him feeling so shy and also blushing at the same time.

“ What happened to me? Why am I behaving weird ?” I asked myself, still smiling at myself while he just looked at me but still passing through the menu.


“ Waiter” Ryan called up to one of the waiters that was passing by. Quickly the waiter came up to our table with his white shirt, black trousers plus a white plain apron around his waist.


“ What do you want sir and ma'am?” He questioned bringing out his white little paper with his pen. He looked at us while he picked up our menu from the table.


“ Water for now” Ryan replied to the waiter who gave a slight bow to us both and walked out.

I looked at Ryan and gave a smile before I bowed my head biting on my lips and looking down at the table.

“ Look up beauty “Ryan's voice made my eyes open wider with assortment.

I gradually raised my head up looking at him with a smile on my face. Always Giving up a smirk just makes me not feel how I usually do. I usually smile on a normal day but my continuous smiling character to Ryan can just make him lose interest in me which would definitely be a pain to me.

“ Do you know” he held my hands, feeling it with his. He just behaved as if we both were in a Hollywood movie set at that time. His hands felt so romantic on top of mine as I looked at him.

“ Know what?” I asked, looking at him.

“ I l….” As soon as he planned on saying his words the waiter approached us with two glasses of water. He helped place the glass of water on the table then gave a slight bow to us both and walked out.

“ Thanks,” I said to the waiter as he turned around and gave another slight bow.

“ So, what do you wanna tell me?” I asked Ryan as he picked up a glass of water and stuck straight into his mouth.

“ Red flag,” I said to myself.

“ Oh, sorry. I got an unexpected hiccup “ he said as he dropped the empty glass cup back to the table.

“ No problem” I smiled at him.

“ So, what did you want to tell me earlier?” I smiled at him as he grabbed my hands back, holding it like he did earlier.

“ I l….” His voice immediately rang out.

“ Oh, sorry but I have to take this” he placed the phone straight to his ears while he gazed at me with a smile.

I just didn't pay much attention to his own voice call while I took the glass of water and took a short sip out of it.

“ Hey, waiter” I called up to the waiter who stood at a spot looking around the whole restaurant filled with customers going in and out.

As he approached us he gave a sweet smile “ What do you want me to get for you ma'am” his smirk was so heartwarming and could definitely melt the heart of anyone who he attends to.

“ Nothing, just want to know how much is for the two glasses of water,” I asked.

“ 5$ only “ he responded.

“ Okay,” I dipped my hands into the purse quickly and brought out a five-dollar note. As soon as I tried handing over the money to him, Ryan's hands dragged mine backward while he passed up the same amount to the man.

“ Thank you,” I said to Ryan.

“ Don't thank me, I was meant to do that and not you” he smirked as he stood up.

“ Sorry but I have to go now” I stood up to his words.

“ Hope no issue,” I asked.

“ No, just a little emergency, “ he said as he packed up his phone into his pocket.

“ So,” I stuck my lips into his as he said those words. I sucked up his lips for a few seconds but soon I removed it quickly.

“ I'm sorry “ I smiled with guilt.
