It still had something to do with him.
I wanted to tell you,incase this is our last meeting before i leave.
When do you plan to leave?.
Before the end of this new week,she said and felt the atmosphere drown.
C'mon let's drink, our orders have arrived,it was her first time taking alcoholic beverage,she has no idea how it felt if she drank it but she was eager to,spenc looked at her with his gentle brown eyes.
She took her glass of cocktail and took a sip,she frowned as it was harsh in the throat and spenc was amused at her reaction.
You can just take something else,he suggested.
No I want this,she said and took large gulp,he couldn't stop her cause he knew he wouldn't listen to him.
They drank for a while and watched as she quickly forgot her problems due to the drink,he smiled as he watched her talk nonstop,he soon realized she was getting tipsy and stopped her from taking it.
Alexa,that's enough,he tried to take it from her.
No,I want it...let go,she pulled on the glass and it left her hand and splashed on his clothes,her eyes widened.
Am so sorry,she took a napkin and tried cleaning his suit.
Am really so sorry,she apologized and he held her hand and spoke hoarsely"that's enough,let's go out,I want to take you somewhere".
That suddenly piqued her interest and she stopped cleaning.
Where?,come on let's go,she pulled on him now to go,he had already paid for the drinks and they left to the car, unbeknownst to them there was a figure in the dark watching them with an ugly expression on his handsome face.
Inside the car,the windows were wound down and the air from outside made Alexa feel like she was flying due to the fact that she was already tipsy,she looked at the dark road and smiled trying to forget all the unfortunate events of the day,soon there arrived at a parking lot,she assumed there were having dinner but the place looked extremely familiar,she was lost in thought and didn't realize when he turned and opened the door for her.
Let's go,she snapped out of it and came out if the car,the feeling was still strange like she was there before.
They walked over to the front and she stared at the name of the restaurant X hotpot kitchen,it also looked familiar but she couldn't place her hands if she had being here before.
They walked into the restaurant and took their seat close to the window, she stared around at the strangely familiar interior,then a bunch of students got up as they finished eating,one of them said"I would love to come here soon, then it all came rushing to her.
**
It was her freshman year of high school,they came over to country D for an excursion,she didn't know Spencer at that time,but they met in this restaurant,she wanted to get something to eat and then hotpot dish wafted into her nose,but she wasn't allowed in saying she could have booked a reservation,she felt sad and wanted to leave.
You can eat with me,I came alone btw,is that cool with you?,Spencer asked but she didn't know him at that point but she was too hungry to care.
Sure,we can eat together,and with that they went it,the hotpot was indeed something else,it was a mixed delicacy and tasted extremely good,she couldn't have enough of it and only stopped when she couldn't take it in anymore.
She had no idea Spencer was looking at her ravage the food and lowered her head as she blushed.
Thanks for the food..
They walked outside and she her words were exactly the same as the student"I would love to come here soon".
Thanks for the company, if it wasn't for you i could've eaten alone,she hummed lightly at him as they exchanged numbers and since that moment they had bring good friends.
The memories of the past came back to her,at that time his hair was a different shade of blonde and he had glasses on giving him the feel of a nerdy bad boy with glasses.
Since that day at the hotpot she had dreamt of having it again but to make reservations were pretty dang hard.
****
You..you remembered,she asked blinking fervently and she stared at him.
I could never forget,you made it well known to me that you would never have hotpot in any other place except from here.
He was actually right because once when they were doing their study session,they were hungry and wanted to eat something,he saw a local hotpot restaurant but she declined the offer quickly saying"if I have hotpot somewhere else,it's like stabbing me because I can't have hotpot anywhere else now that I know somewhere like X hotpot kitchen exist.
But you always had hotpot here before you knew about that place, didn't you.
"..."
She didn't reply but went over to a cake shop.
**
I thought why not surprise you on your birthday and finally grant you that wish of coming back,tears welled up in her eyes as she tired to hold it in and finally she couldn't anymore when the students eating hotpot stood up and starting singing Happy birthday song to her,then an employee came over with a beautiful well designed strawberry cake.
She looked over at Spencer for an explanation,he smiled as he said"their actors I hired,I kinda figured you wouldn't remember here instantly".
No wonder,that girls words were the exact same thing she had said when she finished eating.
Tears poured down her eyes as she hugged Spencer.
Thank you..thank you so much.
I didn't think anyone would remember me today,it didn't go as I expected at all but thanks for being by my side,she stared at him with watery eyes and he wiped her tears and looked at her lips which were quivering,he suddenly had the urge to bite her lips but he wouldn't dare.
