Desperately into you

CHAPTER 29

We're having our formal dinner tonight, my father eating quietly and so my mom who's eating in a modesty way.

"By the way honey, the invitation card was on your table, I have already prepared your tuxedo for the event." My mom informed and then she looked at me to say my dress was already prepared too.

What? I don't know what they're talking about, I was not informed either.

" Oh, that. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning," My Dad answered.

"Invitation?'' I interrupt while looking at both of them.

" Yes, Cassidy. We'll be attending a business anniversary tomorrow," My dad answered as he continues his dinner meal.

I bit my lower lips, I don't want to go! It's so tiring to deal with businessmen and women at the party. And I'm planning to call Viel, tss. What makes that frosty and unromantic man busy!?

I looked at my mom when she calls me just to say to get enough sleep so I won't look like a wicked witch.

I pursed my lips and turned to look at my Dad.

" Can I not come? you know I still have something to do," I'm giving them an innocent look but my parents were already immune to what these cat-eye looks like so they will not go to agree.

"Oh?" My mom asked and narrowed her eyes at me as she sips on her water.

" Yea, yea..." I nodded repeatedly as I smile cutesy at them. I glance at my father when he cleared his throat, we'll, I have a father that is very hard to convince in the world.

"Is that urgent?" My mom plainly asked, it's not as if she would let me, it seldom happens like that which I called miracle day.

" It's important," I said, it's true, I want to call Viel tonight so it's important.

"You're going with us, Cassidy." My dad stated with finality and he didn't even glance at me 'cause he was busy with his food. Why do I need to attend that event anyway? I will just get bored during my entire stay for sure because I was surrounded by oldies.

I pouted and bit my lips in Annoyance.

"By the way, whose business anniversary are we going to?" I asked using my uninterested voice. I don't want to go so it means I don't want!..

" Can I just stay here, Dad? I don't want to go, I don't feel like it." I said with stubbornness.

"We're going to Seattle, Cassidy." My mom answered before she continue, " and I thought you're already close with Viel? It's their business 47th anniversary tomorrow. Why don't you want to go?" She informed.

I was stunned for a moment before that information sank in. Clouded by the thoughts

They will hold another event again? Is that why he was missing in action since yesterday?.. he didn't tell me about that so how would I know? It's not as if he cares to tell.

I looked at my Dad and he was busy with his food, he was certain that I would go because he told me to. I was gapping and ready to take my words back, Of course, I will come! my mom should have told me a while ago that we were going there.!! I act like I'm thinking before I glance at them.

" I-I change my mind, I will come," I said wearing a wide smile on my face, after all, I want to see him, and way good to see him than just hear his voice. My mom looked at me and her forehead creased.

" I thought you don't want to go?" She asked doubting while staring at me trying to know why does my decision swiftly change.

" She will still come with us, whether she likes it or not, Alora." My dad answered my mother's question.

I happily nodded this time,

" Yeah, Dad." I nodded saying that I cannot agree more.

" Good," he respond before he stood up. He says that he'll be going to his office before he turned his back on us and made his way towards the door where his office is located.

I was left with my mom,

" Anyways,'' She started and look at me, " Crisha is your best friend right?'' She asked me and I nodded while giving her a questioning look.

Why she's asking about that when she already knows.

" Yes, Mom. You know that, why?" I said as I chewed slowly the amount of food in my mouth.

" Hm, nothing really Important, I just want to know if she and Simon are dating?" She asked casually.

Dating? Crisha doesn't have a boyfriend as I know.

" Dating? What do you mean?" I asked confused. Crisha is not secretive and I thought when she says that the two of them will go on a date it was her message when we shared the same table with Simon in the coffeehouse. I chuckle, she took it seriously? Or maybe she's in a relationship with Simon Johnson secretly huh?

" I saw them almost making out, pastime so," She boredly replied and sip on her juice,

Ohh, it's not surprising though, my friend is quite aggressive. That girl is telling me anything about her love life though.

"Ohh, I don't know mom," I said and stood up.

Though, that Simon guy was Viel's cousin but I just don't trust him for my friend if ever she's into him.

I shook my head, I shouldn't judge him right away, I don't know anything about him though.

After our dinner, I went to my room and throw my body on the soft comfy bed.

I reached for my phone and go to the contact list.

An evil smirk drew on my lips as silly Ideas came to my mind,

" Hmm," I smelled the lavender scent of my pillow as I started to write a text that I would send to Viel.

" Hi, good evening " message sent.

" Hello?" Message sent.

"Are you asleep already?" Message sent.

I didn't get any reply from him, I will not say it's me though, I just tried if he would entertain my messages well, but I know he won't. It has been said that a mature man is lazy in typing.

After a couple of minutes, I composed another message again but I just let out a weak laugh when he blocked my number!.. That frosty!..

It's fine, I'll see him tomorrow anyway, I'm really crushing on him hard.. 2 weeks to go and it'll be my coming 17th birthday!!

It's so obvious that I'm dying to turn 18.
