Chapter 10: A Date
928 Words
Aurora's POV
He didn't tell me where we were going, he just halted at the front of a restaurant. He released my seatbelt first, then he also released his.
He always does that since I was a kid, that's another way he shows his care for me.
“It's been a while since we had a meal together,” he said.
“Yep!” I replied, excitement radiated through my voice.
He got down, and he walked over to open the car door for me, I smiled as I got down. This is how it had always been before the old witch ruined it.
I walked side by side with him as we entered the restaurant. I didn't bother hiding what I felt, I was glad he made this decision.
He helped me with my chair first before he sat down. Isn't my sweetheart a gentleman?
I took the time to look around the room, a few waitresses walked around, and two different couples sat at a distance, it seemed like they were having a date, so was my sweetheart and I.
I know this is supposed to be a meal between an uncle and a niece, but I took it as a date.
One of the waitresses walked over to us and she took our orders. I didn't like the way she was staring at my sweetheart, and I didn't like the way she was dressed too. Her buttons weren't done properly, an unhealthy view of her cleavage was left open, she is quite busty.
She smiled unnecessary at my sweetheart and pretended like I wasn't even there, until I stomped my hand on the table.
No one flirts with my uncle while I am on the watch.
She scoffed, and she left.
Uncle X stared at me intensely, probably wondering why I acted the way I did.
“What has gotten over you, Rory?”
‘I love you Uncle X,’ I wanted to say, but I couldn't. He forgave me for the trying-to-kiss incident, and he somehow took it as a childish mistake.
He doesn't understand me, even if I had said those words to him, his reply would have been ‘I love you too, little niece.’
I am quite tired of this niece-zone relationship, but what can I do?
“She wasn't being professional,” I replied.
“And you were also being rude. You don’t act like that to strangers…”
Blah… Blah… Blah..
Another episode of his scolding…
He kept saying stuff, but nothing stuck. This isn't the first time he is saying things like this, I have already tagged it as ‘the boring uncle speech’, where he talks about manners, approach, courtesy, and all.
The waitress returned with our meal.
“Your order is ready, sir,” she said as she stood beside him, she stood so close to him that it stopped looking professional.
This was pure seduction.
“Thanks,” my sweetheart muttered.
“Do you need anything else?” She leaned closer, and she pretended to arrange the cutleries.
God! Can I just kill her? She is f*****g pissing me off!!
“No, thanks,” he answered.
I had a lot to say to her, but I didn't speak, Uncle X would say I am being rude again.
“Alright, enjoy your meal, sir,” she smiled as she slowly turned to walk away.
I clenched my fist hard, this b***h would have been long dead if not because of restraint.
“Rory,” Uncle X called.
“Hmm,”
“Have your meal pls.”
He looked at me like he was still wondering what's wrong with me.
“I will.”
But first… I would deal with that b***h… The fact that she saw me sitting here, and she still had the audacity to flirt with my man is crazy.
And for that…
I pushed back my chair abruptly, and I stood up. Uncle raised his gaze.
“I wanna use the restroom. I'll be back soon.” I said to him, He nodded.
Good thing my eyes trailed the stupid lady, I knew exactly where she passed.
I marched there, not looking as angry as I did before, I even forced a smile on my face.
I opened the door quietly, I saw the b***h standing by a counter and talking to one of her colleagues.
I smiled and waved at her, pretending like it was an awkward entrance.
“Ohh… Sorry pls… I thought this was the bathroom,” I said.
“No, this isn't the washroom, dear. You are in the wrong place, the washroom is on the other side,” the other lady answered me.
“Well… I have been there, but I didn't get it… Please could someone show me to the bathroom… Please..” I added enough ‘please’ to make my sentence look real.
“Tina, show her to the washroom…” The woman said.
Tina. That's her name. Tina the f*****g w***e.
Tina hesitated for a while, but I made sure to convince her with my pretentious smile.
“Alright,” she said as she moved forward and I followed her.
Here comes plan two. You think you can seduce my man and go scot free, no you can't. I am gonna make you pay.
It didn't take long before she stopped walking, “This is the washroom,” she said flatly.
“Okay, thanks.”
She turned to leave, but I stopped her.
“I actually have something to say to you…” I said.
