Since we came back from our vacation, we have a lot of work to do. While I am busy arranging Martell's schedules and preparing everything needed in the office, Leighton, on the other hand, is in his cafe. He is also busy because the number of customers have increased. I plan to have my lunch at Leighton's cafe because he prepares my food.
Leighton Calling ...
"Why?" I asked Leighton on the other line while I'm busy doing my thing.
"Are you feeling sick?. Are you ok there?." Leighton asked one after another. I just laughed because of his questions. He asked me again and again the same questions. Leighton wants to make sure that I'm really OK every time he calls and it really makes my heart flutter.
"Leighton please help me! My nose is bleeding again!" I said and pretended to cry to make him believe. After I said that, I couldn't help but laugh at my acting skills.
"Did you take your medicine? Wait for me there. I'll take you to the hospital." He said and it was obvious in his voice that he was panicking too much.
"HAHAHAHA! I'm just kidding Leighton." I said with a laugh and told him I was just joking. And I heard him sighing on the other line.
"It's not funny, not a good joke." Leighton said and after that, the call ended. I made him mad again. I hope he doesn't get tired of me.
"You're good at acting Natasha haha!. It's my first time to hear Leighton panic like that, when it comes to women. You're really lucky Natasha. I can tell that he really loves you. " Martell said while sitting in his swivel chair. He heard me and Leighton talking. Yes, I'm so lucky to have Leighton by my side so I know he's the one.
"Of course I am, your cousin ." I confidently said it to Martell.
"You should finish what you are doing." He told me. And I glared at him because he did not support me from what I said.
...
I arranged my things and took my bag because Leighton is coming to the office to pick me up. Martell and my co-workers became motionless at this time of the day. Leighton prepared something for our lunch together at his cafe.
"Martell, I'll just have a lunch at Leighton's cafe, I'll be back at 6:00 pm bye. " I said and happily left even though he could not hear me. The elevator rang and I knew Leighton was here on our floor. When the elevator opened, he was in front of me. He hugged me tightly and I pressed the button to the ground floor.
"Are you really OK earlier? You worry me so much Natasha, I thought it was true." Leighton said as we headed to his car.
"I'm OK, don't stress yourself." I said and even showed him the muscles in my arm even though there was nothing.
"I prepared a salad just for you. Sorry if you will only eat vegetables and fruits." He said and looked sadly at me.
"It's ok. As long as you cook it, I will eat. " I told him and smiled. His efforts to cook what I eat every day are enough to make me thankful.
Leighton is just my suitor but he treats me as if I'm his wife. We arrived at the Cafe and he has a lot of customers, who are motionless. They seem to miss Leighton's cafe because it was closed for a few days when we went on a vacation. Leighton pulled out a chair so I could sit down and he took his prepared salad.
"Close your eyes first." He said excitingly. I followed what he said and I closed my eyes for a moment.
"You can open your eyes now." He said and I slightly opened my eyes.
"Tuna Salad, for you and for me." He said and laid down the plate with salad in front of me. I thanked him and started eating.
"Why are we both eating the same food? That may make you thinner." I asked him while pointing at the tuna salad.
"I want to eat healthy from now on. I don't want you to be jealous when I eat foods that are bad for you."
"If you're always like that, we might be together soon." I said and laughed at the same time, eating my salad. He suddenly stopped eating and his expression suddenly brightened.
"But not now. There is a right time for that." I said immediately because he seemed to believe what I said. I need some time to get to know him. Relationship for me is so important and I am not in a hurry.
"Is there a right time?." he asked me and wondered.
"Of course there is. Ako lang ang malakas." I said simultaneously raising my arm to show my muscles. We both laughed and continued eating. After lunch, we went straight to a park near his Cafe. I sat on the grass and he did the same. I rested my head on his shoulder while looking at the trees.
"What if the operation fails then I die? Maybe you can find another woman?" I asked him.
"Don't say that, it's just you, OK.?" He said and he touched my hair and he messed it up. I stood up and went in front of him while holding my waist.
"But what if Leighton?." I asked him again.
"I will not let that happen to you. Why do you keep saying that." He stood up and started chasing me. And I ran because he was annoyed by what I asked him.
"Stop it Leighton! hahaha! I can no longer breathe." I said and stopped while catching a breath. I lay down on the grass exhausted and I touched my chest because it's beating so fast. He approached me and knelt in front of me to see what had happened to me. I closed my eyes and told him I could not breathe.
"Let's go to the hospital." He said and nervously lifted me but I slapped his hand.
"I got you again!" I said and pinched both his cheeks and laughed at the same time. Leighton always takes what I tell him seriously. He left me on the grass while laughing.
"Hey! wait for me, I'm sorry." I said at the same time chasing him because he was walking too fast.
