I don't want to be with that bastard.
Eating dinner and talking to him... why? We were never close not even acquaintances. I was just my friend's messenger.
It was almost 5:00pm. What should I do?
I can't tell my mom, well she's not here. I am alone in this house as always.
6:00pm
One more hour to go. I was so confused. I don't know how to reject that guy.
I took a bath to clear my mind. I can't think straight. Everything is really messed up.
6:30pm
He texted me.
"Are you ready? I am not really a fan of waiting"
SOOO ANNOOOYYIINNG!!!
I turned off my phone. Maybe if I didn't reply. He would be discouraged and won't come pick me up.
HA! Yeah! I dressed up and stayed in my room.
I rested for a bit but fell asleep instead.
*Knocking*
"Jadis? Honey, are you there?" It was my mom.
"hmmmn sorry, i fell asleep. "
"Hm? Why aren't you prepared yet? "
"Huh?For? " I was clueless about what she was talking about.
"Jaz Ford was downstairs for an hour now. I thought you've been preparing."
"W-w-w-w-w-w--wwhhhaaaatttt?! You let him in? " I exclaimed.
"Yeah. When I arrived he was just there infront of our gate. He was pressing the bell and calling you but you weren't answering. Fix yourself up now, sweetie. Don't make him wait for too long."
Shit! What to wear?!!!!!
My mind is gonna blow. I don't want to think about anything more. I grab the dress hanged in my dresser and put it on. Put some light make up on and perfume. I slowly went downstairs. I didn't even check on my face on how I looked like.
I saw him there sitting on our couch talking to my mom.
"Oh there she is." My mom gave me a look and smiled. " you looked so --" she was cut off by Jaz.
"beautiful." then he went quiet again.
My mom was just smiling like a crazy person.
"you should get going. Jaz, drive safely."
"Yes, Mrs. Chrysler. Thank you very much"
I didn't wait for him as he was saying goodbye to my mom.
I was about to open the door when he grabbed the knob and opened the car door for me.
"t-t-thanks." was all I could say. He was just looking at me. As if there was a dirt on my face.
When he sat on the driver's seat, he was glancing on me also.
It feels awkward.
" Aren't you going to be mad at me? I made you wait"
I am provoking him to be pissed at me so this would end now.
"It's worth it".
Whew. It's hot in his car. But the AC is blasting. My cheeks feels so warm.
We were silent the whole time.
He stopped in a hotel. gave his car keys to the valet and opened the door for me again.
"You really don't have to do that." I told him.
He was just grinning.
Why is it firing back at me? This idiot thinks I'm enjoying this huh?
We were seated near the porch, I can hear the waves and as I looked up, I saw the stars, like I am drowning in these sea of stars.
"you like the view?" he asked after gesturing the waiter of what we would be eating.
"Yeah. It's amazing here", I replied. Still amazed by the view I'm seeing.
"Great" He smiled.
We were silent the whole evening again. Ate and drank some sparkling wine.
"Jadis." He spoke.
"Hm?"
"Can I ask you something?" he said. He seemed polite and respectful this time.
"OK. What?" sounding casual.
"What color of panties are you wearing?" he asked then smirked into a small laugh.
I take it back. He is a jerk. A maniac.A pervert.
"Jerk!" Was what I said. I stood up so I could walk away from this moron.
"I was just kidding. I made it as an ice breaker...Hahahhaha"he was laughing hard now.
He seemed to enjoy pissing me off.
"You really look beautiful tonight. I want to keep you here for as long as I can." he suddenly said those words that caught me by surprise.
"Ha. But I know you can't. I want to go home now." I said.
" You owe me an hour. So you need to stay with me for another hour. I still have to show you something." he said. winked and grinned at me.
how does he do that all at the same time?
I went straight to his car. Not letting him do all the things he did awhile ago.
"Ohh..so Cinderella is now very aggressive." He teased again.
" whatever. Just take me home. " I said.
"Not yet."
Jaz POV
Ok?! She is not answering my calls. I am infront of her house. What the hell happened to her?
15minutes....
30minutes...
45minutes...
1 hour...
"Hi!" An aged woman spoke and smiled at me.
"Goo-good evening ma'am."
" Are you waiting for someone? This happened to be my house. Is there anything I can help you with?" She's nice and composed.
"I am waiting for Jadis Chrysler. I am Jaz Ford. I'm supposed to pick her up tonight for a...date... But she might have forgotten." I'm nervous.
"Oh that girl. Come in first. Let me check her in her room." Her mom was very polite.
After awhile, her mom came downstairs and gestured me to sit down and wait for Jadis.
"Hmmm....so you asked her out on a date? " she smiled.
"Yes. Mrs. Chrysler." This is intense.
"I apologize for my daughter's lack of attention. She might have forgotten about it for today but she will be downstairs for awhile. You know how long a girl fixes herself for these occassions." She handed me a glass of juice.
"It's ok Mrs. Chrysler. No worries" my hands are cold and sweaty.
Why the fuck am I so nervous for the first time? She seems nice but her aura is giving me chills.
And when I saw her come downstairs wearing a dress, light make up on and smells like sweet flowers, my heart can't stop racing. I feel my knees weaken a bit by her sight.
She said bye to her mom and went ahead. I followed her fast after saying bye to her mom too.
This is not the first time I asked a girl out but this is the first time I was stunned by her simple beauty. She looks perfect.
Damn Jadis. How can I stop liking you now?
I can see her feeling awkward in the car.
As we went to the restaurant, her eyes looks so amazed by the view. I can't help it. I want to be with this girl.
It was quiet and the silence is killing me. I have to kill this awkwardness between us.
And then again, I was able to kill the silence but she started getting mad at me again. I like her angry face, too.
You got me so bad Jadis.
As we went to my car again, she insists on going home but the night is not over yet. It's just getting started.
This girl is exactly what I am looking for.
