Lea and Coby left the Villa together.
Kira revealed a smile as she secretly watched Lea and Coby's retreating silhouettes from the bedroom window.
These two look good together, I hope they fall to each other like me and Tim.
Kira's deep thought was interrupted when she felt someone suddenly embraced her from behind.
"What are you doing there?" She heard Tim's voice.
Kira smiled, "I'm watching them," she replied.
"Watching, who?" Tim asked.
"Them" Lea pointed Coby and Lea who is walking towards the gate.
"Look, what do you think?" She asked.
Tim's gaze followed Kira's finger, " What should I think, then?" He asked back.
"Ugh!" Kira rolled her eyes, " You are as dumb as your assistant." She mumbled.
"What do you want to hear, then?" Tim asked again.
"Anything!"
"I mean is, do they look good together?"
"Hmmm..." Tim thinks for a moment, " I think so," He said.
"Why you seemed so interested in them?" Tim asked.
"Well," Kira turned to Tim, "This is my first time to see Lea being so fond to a man," She said.
"But I think your assistant is too dumb to realize that my best friend is falling for him," Kira added.
"Ha!" Tim laughed lightly, "You don't know Coby," He defended Coby.
"He may seem cold from the outside, but he is soft inside," he said.
"Do you think he will like Lea too?" Kira asked.
"Let's just wait and see," Tim replied.
------
Lea and Coby take a cab.
The two of them sit on the backseat.
Coby instructed the driver to drive them to Lea's address.
"Who is taking care of your store now?" Coby asked Lea when the cab started to run.
Lea turned her head to Coby, "My two cousins are there to take care of the store." she replied.
"Oh," Coby blurted out.
There is silence between them.
Coby glanced at his watch, "It's still early," Coby was the one to break the silence.
"How about, let's eat first before going home?" he asked.
Lea's eyes lighten up!
She turns her head to Coby and says, "Sure!" She accepted instantly.
Coby thought that Lea would reject his invitation.
So he felt relieved when she accepted it.
He couldn't help but reveal a smile.
It was just a quick smile.
It faded instantly.
"Uh!" Lea's eyes went wide open as soon as she saw Coby's smile!
"Did you just smile?!" She asked in surprise.
Coby knitted his brows, "Why you look surprised?!" he asked.
"Woah, because this is my first time to you smile!" Lea replied.
"I even thought that you have facial paralysis!" she added.
"..."
Coby was speechless, 'Don't I smile often?' He asked his self.
"Oh, you should smile more often, you look more handsome and approachable when you smile like that," Lea commented.
Coby smiled again, "Will that make you fall for me, then?" he asked.
Lea froze when she heard Coby.
'What did he just say?' Kira asked her self.
She thought she misheard Coby.
"Ehem!" Coby pretended to clear his throat when he did not hear a response from Lea.
He then looks at the driver, " Mr. Driver, could you drop us in a restaurant, please?" he said.
"Alright, sir!" The driver replied.
-------
Inside the restaurant, Coby and Lea are sitting face to face as they looked at the menu.
"Just order anything you want," Coby said.
"Uh, it's quite expensive here," Lea commented.
"Don't worry,"
"It is my treat," Coby said.
"Oh," Lea blurted out, but then she froze when she realized something, "A man treating a woman to dinner," Lea look at Coby.
"Is this a dinner date?" She asked, with a teasing smile plastered on her face.
Coby looks back to Lea, " Let's just think it this way," he said.
Lea blinks her eyes as she stared at Coby, "Hey, I was just kidding!" she said after a while.
Their conversation was interrupted when the waiter suddenly came to take their orders.
Lea and Coby give their orders.
They waited for a half-hour before their orders arrived.
-----
Coby walks Lea home after dinner.
The two of them walk side by side.
Lea took a deep breath as the night cold breeze blow to her face.
"The wind is cold," Lea said.
Coby turns his head to Lea, "Do you feel cold?" He asked.
Lea tilted her head to Coby, "Why would you lend me your blazer if I do?" she asked with a faint smile on her face.
Coby did not say a word, but he took off his blazer and wrapped it to Lea's body.
Lea stopped in her track.
She looked up at Coby with her stunned expression.
"Does it feel better?" Coby asked.
Lea was not able to speak.
She blinks her eyes a few times.
Coby held Lea's hand and clasped it against his.
"Let's go!" He said as he took a step forward while pulling Lea's hand.
Lea followed Coby, in a daze.
She feels like dreaming!
'Wait, is this just a dream?'
'Whoa, why he suddenly treated me nicely?'
'Since when did the cold Coby become romantic?'
Lea stopped walking and she shook her head.
Coby turned to Lea when she suddenly stopped walking.
"Why?" he asked when he saw her shaking her head.
Lea looked at Coby, "Uh, this is just a dream, right?" she asked in a faint voice.
Coby knitted his brows, "What's a dream?" he asked back.
"You, me," Lea looked down at their hands, "Holding hands while walking," she added.
Coby flicked Lea's ear, " Silly!" he said.
"Aw! that hurts!" Lea complained.
"You feel pain?" Coby asked.
"Yes!" Lea replied sternly.
"Then, you're not dreaming!" Coby said.
"So, this is all true?" Lea blurted out.
"No way!"
"Since when did you become romantic?" Lea asked as she let out a laugh.
Coby got annoyed when Lea laugh at him, "Hey, isn't this what you want me to do the last time I walked you home?"
"I just granted your request!" He said sternly.
