Ms. Ov, would you like to accompany me to dinner?
Would you mind Mam? If i take your daughter for dinner? I'll drop her back, home safe !
Ofcourse... I murmured...
Of course... Mom replied.
Thank you Mr. Kim! , I tried taunting him.
That's Just Kim to you!.... he replied with gentle but flirty voice.
Oh yes, I am sorry.
Don't worry it's all right, come on I'll take you to the restaurant I reserved for us...
Mr. Kim held my hand and lead the way to the restaurant.
He walked faster than I expected.
Soon we arrived at the restaurant and I followed him inside,
" It was great meeting you Ms.Ov.
"Yes it was very nice to meet you too! Thanks for treating me to dinner, and thank you for the beautiful..... what?? dog! "
Dog??
I took a deep breath,
"It's fine don't worry about it..." and smiled at me.
Ms.Ov was beautiful, she has brown eyes, beige complexion and a cute nose... her eyebrows were thick and very dark.
I liked her very much...
We ate dinner together and we laughed and talked about many things,
"Oh god, how can such a beautiful woman be single" I muttered.
"Are you asking if I'm single Mr.Kim "
she giggled "Well, yea.... I mean..." I stuttered "I meant..."
"I'm single Ms.Ov"
"Oops..."
The waiter approached the table to ask "Can i serve you anything else?"
Ms.Ov replied "No thank you"
She told me how beautiful our restaurant was and that we should visit more often "You're welcome to do so whenever you feel hungry " I told her "And I hope you won't feel lonely here."
Then I asked her to dance, she was smiling sweetly I was blushing like mad I thought maybe...
Her face changed a bit, she said yes.
Then I asked her for the first dance.
We danced for a while and I felt a little better now and we danced like two angels...
I really enjoyed every minute of this evening.
At the end of it we walked back towards home feeling relaxed. He dropped me home promising a next meet soon.
And I realised that mom is already asleep and seems like dad is back home.
I went upstairs to my room, I was tired and sleepy so ran towards washbasin to freshen up but suddenly I heard a voice a masculine crispy voice...
I turned around quickly but there wasn't anyone in the bathroom.
"Hello " A deep and masculine voice sounded coming from behind. I jumped with fright and turned my back to see a muscular man who stood behind me.
"Sorry I scared you, are you okay?" he asked with concern
"Yes I am fine... I didn't notice you... I'm just very tired," I tried not to look into his eyes.
"I'l bet.. Do you want to sit down a moment? " He offered his hand as if inviting me to sit on a chair
We both sat on the sofa. He kept staring at my face. His gaze was burning hot.
Was it the heat of the room or my imagination... I thought.
Then I began to notice something strange about him, he smelled good, he wore a light shirt with short sleeves.
It was almost midnight when he left but I was still awake and thinking about the date with him.
It was quite late, my mother would already sleep by now and dad must be asleep too. So I decided to get my book from the nightstand beside the sofa and read it till the clock strikes 5 a.m., I was sleepy but the book was not as comfortable as the soft couch I was laying on earlier.
As I started to fall asleep I realized I didn't bring any blanket.
So I decided to get up and went to the kitchen area.
I found my bag from the closet, grabbed it and went outside without closing the door.
I opened the kitchen cabinet and took a blanket from it.
When I came near my bed, I remembered that I didn't bring a pillow.
Then it struck me,
of course, I had the cushion...
I ran to my bedroom and snatched the pillow from under my bed.
It was perfect. I was ready to lay down and fall asleep.
But my plan was ruined when I heard a noise coming from the other side of the wall, I froze instantly I listened carefully for the sound.
Nothing...
It sounds like a cat's footsteps...
I slowly closed my bedroom door and moved further away from the door... then another small noise came... I knew what' it was, a cat's footsteps.
I looked through the slit of the door and saw a black cat walk past my room.
It looked around and sniffed the air, then it moved closer to my room and started to scratch at the door. I panicked.
Why couldn't this stupid beast just leave me alone!?
I opened the door a little bit and reached my arm out. The cat stopped scratching the door and came closer.
I was trying my best not to yell or make a sound.
After some hesitation it finally laid down in front of me. I reached my other hand out to stroke its fur. It purred loudly.
I was amazed I didn't even know cats could purr.
I was mesmerized,
I rubbed its ears and neck.
Just then a car drove by.
I was startled.
I hurried to put my hand under my blanket and covered myself with it.
I looked at my phone's screen and checked the time.
7:30 a.m. I'm gonna oversleep again...
I got up and opened my door, looking around I realized nobody was here.
I was relieved since nobody witnessed what just happened.
I made sure I was wearing my glasses.
As I stepped onto the carpet, my foot hit something hard and fell onto the floor making a loud thud.
I gasped.
Someone is here.
A figure emerged from the shadows and I felt a shiver run down my spine.
I screamed,
"Whoa! Calm down. Don't scream. It's just me"
A familiar deep voice spoke.
It was Dad.
What did he want from me now?
He walked towards me and helped me get up.
He picked up my stuffs from the floor and handed them to me.
"Sorry about that, I was trying to find you but you weren't here, " he explained " Where have you been? I called your cell phone and it didn't answer... are you feeling okay? What did you do last night? "
"Um... I didn't do anything, I was just tired."
He raised an eyebrow,
"Didn't go out last night? You always do! Where were you going? "
"I... uh... I was going to meet someone... "
"Oh, you met someone!"
Dad's words brought back the memory I've tried so hard to forget.
I looked up to meet his worried expression,
"You're lying to me! You can't lie to me anymore! "
"Dad I don't know why you think so badly of me. I don't know how it started... but last night I met a guy. "
