The sun has set and its past 6. I was hungry. I called Zavier to ask when he will pick me up.
Hello my wife, an enthusiastic voice spoke.
when will you come? I have finished my work I said to him
I'm already waiting outside, he said... jumping out of my chair i looked through the window. he was standing there for me.
I quickly picked up my things and ran to the elevator. i was being impatient waiting for the lift. I reached down when I saw him, he was looking at my way with a smile.
Why are you running? are you that eager to see me
Why didn't you say you were already waiting. you might have called me.. how long have you been waiting..
it's fine.. It's my pleasure to wait for my wife. moreover I didn't wait that long. so don't worry
we both hopped on the bike.
where do you wanna eat? he asked me while giving me his helmet.
Anywhere you like... I said to him
ok... then i will take you to a place where you have never been before he said while starting the bike.
The bike ride always makes my mood relaxed. I don't know if it's the bike ride or the one I'm riding with...
soon we came far away from the city... there were not much car in the road. He stopped the bike near a small mountain as the road ahead were not suitable for bike ride.
With a gentle smile on his lips he stretched his hand for my hand. he held my hand and took me through a small road where both the sides are decorated with large trees and bushes.
it was a bit sloppy. but he held my hand as guided me carefully. after the trail of small road we reached a open hill side place where there is a small inn.
The place was lovely. It has a small restaurant were the seatings are arranged under a open sky. There were quite a few people. I wondered how many people have come here leaving big cosy restaurants in the city.
we found a seat for ourselves while a serving lady came and patted Zavier's head. my dear boy.. it's been long since you came here... she asked with lovely expression.
I'm sorry aunty.. I was busy. how are you and where is grandma? he was having a conversation with her as if they have known each other for a long time.
An old hand screwed Zavier's ears when he hissed in pain.. Aaawo... granny its paining... without looking back he guessed right.
It is indeed an old grandma... you brat how dare you bring a girl with you. didn't you say you will marry my grand daughter..
Grandma... how did you know I got married. he asked her while escaping from her grip.
Humph! you never bought a girl before. moreover you are wearing a ring in your finger. so I guessed. she said by turning her head away in little anger.
wow..you really got married, the serving lady asked him.. Yes... meet her. she is my wife, Amelia... he said introducing me to them.
I bowed and greeted them with a smile. Amelia... she is the daughter in law of this grandma. they own this inn and restaurant. he then introduced them to me.
My little girl you look so pretty. the serving lady patted my head while grandma is still faking her anger.
I chuckled looking at her. Grandma... it's fine. you can find another man for your granddaughter...
No... I want only him to get married, she pouted like a child.
Oh.... that's so sad. I have already got married with him. and I will not give my husband to anyone. I said sticking my tounge out.
My words made him blush. I can feel his smile and happiness from his face. He is cute..
is he silly? he is happy just by what I said. I thought to myself...
You better not... you better take care of zavier. or else I will marry him off to my granddaughter, she said while pinching my cheeks.
They served us almost all the dishes they prepared at the restaurant, saying it was the gift from them, for our marriage.
I looked at him while he was already looking at me. Thank you... indeed I have never been to this place... I said while chewing the food.
And its soooooo tasty.. I really love the food, I kept on talking while stuffing the food in my mouth.
He chuckled. Eat slowly. he said while giving me some water.
I had a big meal and I'm stuffed.
Shall we go for a walk he asked me tilting his head. I nodded at him
We both walked somewhere a little far from the inn. The place was amazing. the cool breeze gently followed us all the way. the little mountains and trees looked at us which made me shy... The stars showed us a path of life.
His hand touched mine... his little finger slowly entered my palms. He clasped his fingers with mine. I was looking down.
i don't want him to look at me. i don't want him to look at "this side" of Amelia. A blushing girl whose heart beats so fast just by holding hands. it is awkward.
He didn't speak anything just holded my hands.
But his warm hands said that it needs me. it needed my warmth. I asked his hands why do you need my warmth when you are already warm enough. it said; its warm only to me, but when I leave its side, it becomes cold as ice.
He clearly has so many problems inside him but always shows a stoic expression. I had a feeling that I want to be his listener. I want to be the one whom he can lean on.
done looking at me? his voice snapped me out. I'm clearly aware that I was thinking about him. but I keep looking at him I wasn't aware of it at all...
who... who is looking at you. I turned my face to the other side.
He stopped walking and looked at me lifting my chin gently... our eyes met. we both could hear each other's heart beat.
He came closer to me... I exactly know what is his intention. but neither I pushed him nor I backed away. I stood still while his lips moved closer and closer to me...
I closed my eyes... my first kiss was going to taken by him and I'm not bothered at all. instead one part of me wanted it.
holding my cheeks with one hand and my waist with other hand... our lips met each other. But some idiotic useless person ruined the moment..
ring... ring.... ring... ring... His phone bell rang. He ignored it but I gently pushed him away...
Attend the call... I said with my tomato face. it was His brother Gerald..
we sat on a bench to take some rest while he called back his brother.
