Drowning by her new appearance, Noah stood at the corner of the door with his eyes glancing at Amber’s from top to the bottom. He mesmerizes by her new look. Emma did such a great job with this makeover, well done Emma.
And on the other side, there she is Amber Stanford who looks stunning with her new appearance from head to toe. But still have no idea what's going on, She was shocked seeing Noah standing right there, staring at her up and down. She was wondering why is he looking at her like that.
“Why the hell is he doing here, I thought he was gone already but there he is, again he shows up in this kind of situation where I finally feel so peaceful and happy”
She mumbled in her head, She feels annoyed by his presence in this kind of situation where all she needs is to show her crush, Doctor Ethan, But the fact is Noah is the one who gets the chance to see her new look for the first time.
“You need a ride?”
"Excuse me?" she wondered what was the real intention behind his offer.
"I'm offering you a ride with me"
"Emma could you please tell your brother to go away I beg you" She ordered Emma with her tense jawline, bulging eyes, and narrow eyebrows, she was so pissed at him.
"What the hell, I know you just did your makeover things and you look way better now than before and I agree with that, however, this make-up doesn't cover up your rudeness towards me, what’s up with your attitude?"
"You should question yourself, I always act so polite to everyone, if you’re not one of them, is because you always ruin my day so now please I have to go"
"Chill relaxed, I thought we were cool after what happened in the mountain”
“Noah, don’t expect me to be cool over night we’ve spent together in the mountain, it’s nothing to be comparing to all the tortured you’ve done to me every single day at school, so forget about about the mountain”
“Oh wow, I can’t believe what did I just hear, alright, cool, I’ll take it, but anyway, Emma haven't you told her yet?"
“Tell me what, Is it a part of your plan Emma?”
"Oops. I'm sorting Amber, I forgot to tell you that Noah is going to be your driver tonight"
"Wait, why?"
"Because I asked him to do it"
"Yeah, but why Emma?"
"Because our driver is not available today, he's sick, so I asked him to drive you home since he owes me something and if he didn't do it I'll tell my dad about my accident"
"Hmm, there you go again, stop with your threats already I'll do what you asked, I even babysit her in the jungle and save her life but she's just being so ungrateful and rude, how come she tells someone who helped her to go away, rude!"
"Ugh it's alright Emma, I'll just go by taxi"
"No way, you can't go by taxi dressed up like this and some more you have to go out and hang out somewhere at least go for dinner at a fancy restaurant maybe, don't worry it's my treat, and also please I put so much effort to make you look like this, it's such a waste if you just go chill in the taxi until you reached home, that's too bad so please let Noah take you out, you know I wish that I could come with you but, you know I couldn't so please make me happy this time"
Seeing Emma begging like this makes her feel so sad and she couldn't see her getting disappointed after everything she did for her.
"Alright, alright, only for this time, happy now?"
"Yippie, great, alright Noah this time I warn you if you ever did anything wrong to her I swear to you that I will send your video to mom and dad as proof so be careful, you better treat her nice, it's a warning!”
"Ugh, yeah yeah don't start to remind me again and again, I get it, so let's just get over it shall we?”
"Okay, I'm going now Emma, if anything happened I'll let you know"
"Alright, take care and have fun. bye"
"Bye"
They walked through the basement where he parked his car in the garage, there are too many cars parked over there not even one is cheap. Every car they have at least costs millions of dollars this is insane. They are going to ride a Ferrari LaFerrari red color and it cost around $1.4 Million, who doesn't love this car?
"Alright get in!"
"How do I open the door, where is the door handle?"
"Oh come on, seriously?"
He gets out of the car and walks towards her.
"So how?"
"Umm it's hard to hang out with poor people like you, you don't even know how to open this door dumb, or do you just want me to open it for you like you are a princess?"
"Ugh, forget it I'll just go home by taxi bye"
"Wait, sorry madam you see the door handle is hidden underneath the car, you wouldn't see that unless you knew it was there, you see, you pop it right here and it just opened right up alright madam now you get it?"
"Oh that's why, alright let's go already, shall we?"
"Yeap"
They were going to the fancy five-star restaurant, she knew that every food over here must be very expensive.
She stepped out of the car, there was a guy who opened up the door for her. She got all the attention and all eyes on both of them, they are walking on the red carpet. She noticed that people stared at her differently, not because she was weird or ugly but because she is so pretty, thanks to Emma, She hope that Emma was her, it must be more fun. She experiences a different feeling, so awkward with Noah, and seeing people checking up on them, surely they think that they are dating or something,
“Ugh me and Noah dating, come on, no way!”
Anyway, fancy restaurants are beautifully, sometimes lavishly decorated. Combined with the low lighting they are very often romantic. Expect fresh flowers, tasteful artwork, candlelight, classical music, and linen tablecloths and napkins.
Broadly speaking, this restaurant's atmosphere encompasses everything from tangible elements like decor and lighting to experiential factors such as the quality of service and the conveniences they offer, this restaurant's atmosphere is vital to its success.
Speaking of the atmosphere, let's talk about the smell of this restaurant. There are many variants of smells here, the smell of vanilla and chamomile reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. The smell of citrus and peppermint increases alertness. There are also smells that can change a person's perspective of a room. Apple and cucumber scents, for example, make a room feels bigger and airier.
After passing through a few tables, we finally arrive at the out table set for two, with candlelight and some fresh flowers, there are many different colors of rose with different meanings, Red is for Passion, love, and desire, and White is for Innocence, purity, spirituality, new beginnings. Yellow is for Platonic friendship, Pink is for admiration, elegance, innocence, and gratitude, and Orange is for Desire, fascination, and passion. All these lovely flowers are set on the table, how romantic like a candlelight dinner for a couple in the movie. Emma has prepared everything for them.
First, she opened the menu and she have no idea at all what kind of food this is, not even a single dish that she recognized except for mineral water. And she sees all the prices of each food and drink on the menu are fantastic and exorbitant. All she wants right now is simple food like tacos, burritos, pizza, or cheeseburgers but it looks like there are none of them on this menu.
"What do you want?"
"Same as you"
"You don't even know what I'm going to order"
"It's ok I trust you, you know better about food here so I'll eat anything you order"
"Anything?"
"Yeah anything, whatever you think is delicious I'll eat it, I'm not picky."
"Okay, I would like to order two the zillion lobster frittata with sevruga caviar, two Kobe beef steaks for the main course, frozen Haute chocolate for the dessert, and one bottle of dom pèrignon brut champagne that's it thank you"
“What kind of food is it that I never eat all those things ever in my life, I hope it's delicious”
“Really?”
“Hundred percent”
“Well now you have, so enjoy the meal”
“Thanks”
“Pleasure”
And the food is here, she keeps wondering what it is. Everything looks so pretty with a colorful garnish. She doesn't want to eat it, it's too pretty. Her growling belly is begging for food, indeed she is starving right now. The whole day she hasn't eaten anything. And by looking at the food portion everything is so small. She wasn't sure that it would be enough to fill her belly.
The fragrant smell of the flowers well combines with the smell of all the foods served on the table.
"Alright dinner is served, shall we begin to dig in, bon appetite"
"Bon appetite too"
Amber is shouting out in her mind;
“Oh my Lord, it's super delicious but super tiny. Why do rich people like to spend a lot of money on such tiny food, it tastes so unique and delicious and also very pretty but so less. let me try the drink It just looks like soda water, I wonder what it tastes like” She took a sip, she thought that it is soda water with a slight bitterness and a little bit of citrus taste. She wonders what it is, but she didn't realize that it is some kind of alcohol, she is so thirsty so she just drinks it up and finishes it in one shot.
"Wow wow wow slow down geez, that's how you drink champagne?"
"Then how am I supposed to drink it?"
"Have you ever drunk it before?"
"Something like this ya, but this bottle is my first time"
"Have you ever been drinking any other alcohol before?"
"Sorry, I don't drink alcohol"
He begins to laugh at her.
"Excuse me, what was that for?"
"It's funny, you just did"
"I did what?"
"What do you think you're drinking right now?"
"Isn't it just sparkling water with a weird taste?"
"Oh my freaking God, you're really funny I swear to God, that's why you don't even know how to hold the glass of champagne in a proper way, your such a poor girl"
"Stop it, stop embarrassing me it's my first time so what?"
"Hmm alright, lemme tell you something, congratulations today is the day you drink alcohol without even realizing it, and the way you drink like you drink a glass of water woah, what a pro" He clapped.
"Wait I drink what, eww" she wipes her mouth and begins to feel nauseous.
"How come you're so innocent and funny to make fun with, how about you became my girlfriend?"
"What, you're insane or you just drunk"
"Ouch it hurt"
"Ugh, I'm dizzy what the hell is this drink"
"Haha who the hell is drinking champagne like you, you finished one glass in one shot, and it was your first time, congratulation you'll fly to the moon after sometime trust me"
"Oh God, why didn't you just tell me earlier, I'm just seventeen how could you do that to me, I'm out of here!"
She stand up and throw the napkin on the floor, ready to leave this place as soon as possible but then after a few steps, she fell, first because of her 4 inches-high heels and second because of the campaign that was a bit intoxicating, this champagne hits her hard until she couldn't manage to get up on her own feet. Her unsteady feet require help for someone to carry her, and her speech became slurred or not able to think straight.
“Damn it!” she cursed with her cheeks blushing and her body laying down on the floor.
“You good?”
“What do you think?”
What will happen next? see you in the next chapter.
