Chereads / Serendipitous date / Chapter 2 - coming late intentionally

Chapter 2 - coming late intentionally

The only thing I don't like is when people give out my contact without my permission.

This guy has been calling for almost two days now blabbering nonsense about his feelings for me.

When I ask him how he got my line, " it doesn't matter" that's what he keeps saying.

I'm sure the person that gave him the line warned him not to disclose their identity and he is sticking to that.

I try so hard to get rid of him by speaking harshly to  him but still, him not a borderline.

So, I decided to play some tricks. 

I agreed to meet up with him since he has been asking if we could meet for a while now.

I choose the best and most expensive restaurant in town. I actually don't do it because I fancy the place but I want to see his reaction when he is not able to pay the bills though I make sure to have my own money to save myself from any embarrassment.

I reached the restaurant 30mins later, which I did intentionally. 

He waved at me when he saw me looking round, maybe looking for him he guessed.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," I said as I took the seat opposite him.

"At least the 30 mins waiting is worth it."  He whispers under his breath but of course, anyone close to him can hear which I did.

" I am sorry for keeping you waiting." I said apologetically.

After giving him a close view, I discovered that he didn't deserve it. He was more than the way I imagined him. So, I decided to apologize and he seems not to take it to heart.

" Good day sir, good day ma. Please can you make your order?" The waiter said as she passed the order book.

"Just two glasses of wine for now then we can make an order later." He said looking at the waiter with a warm smile on his face.

She smiled back and left.

"Two years older is not a bad thing."  He said, looking directly at my face.

He has been looking at me since the beginning of our conversation which is beginning to make me feel uncomfortable. I try to look back but any time I try, I feel suffocated.

"Hey! You seem to be different now. Are you shy?" He asked.

Of course who wouldn't be shy staring at his Charming eyes for that long? But there's no way I am admitting that.

" Who! Me? Naa….." I said  denying the fact.

He held my hands " I want you to be free with me okay!" He said that with a tendency.

He started telling me funny stories and jokes to cheer my mood which really worked. 

"I think we're done here and the day is still young, can we go somewhere else?"  He asked, looking at me when we're done eating. Maybe waiting for my  permission.

"Where?" Of course there is no way I'll agree to that without knowing where he intends to take me to.

"Hmmmm….  How about we visit the amazing park?"  After thinking for a while, he came up with that.

"It's fine." The park is really amazing as its name and it's suitable for any age range. 

"I am glad you agree. How about we scale what we are to do there? It will be easier for us when we get there. It will just be fulfilling our dreams. What do you think?" 

" That's a great idea." I replied to him.

We noted down five games and when you're about to leave, he went and settled the bills and from the look of things, there's no problem.

"He came prepared I guess" I said to myself.

He showed me where he parked his car when he noticed I was trying to stop a cap.

"Did you borrow that to impress me?" I ask while fisting my seatbelt.

"If you think so." He replied, focusing on the road.

We are kind of free with each other now and we enjoy flattering each other too.

We had a good time at the park as we ended up playing countless games instead of the five we noted down earlier.

It was really fun. We hold hands as we leave the park. 

He stopped at the gate then turned and looked at me. It is evidence in my face that I am Missing him already.

"I am missing you already!" He said that under his breath making sure that I am the only one that could hear it.

Tears drop from my eyes as I look down and try to control it.

He hugged me tight and before I knew it, I heard his soft lips on my. It was a passionate one which lasted for five minutes or more.

I was waving at him inside the cap he stopped for me. He waved back then started his car zooming off.

I heard my phone buzzing inside my bag. When I checked the ID, it was him.

"Hey! Are you missing me already?" I ask with a million smiles on my face.

"Hey! I've been calling you since and you're not picking. I came to the restaurant but you didn't show up. What happened?"

I checked the caller ID "wait, what are you talking about?" Why is this guy talking rubbish?

"You for tell me you won't come naa. I stayed in that restaurant for over two hours waiting for you but what did I get? And you're not even picking my calls. You make me waste my valuable time for nothing."

I really don't know what he's saying but before I could react, he ended the call.

If really the guy I've been talking to all this while is not the one I met and had fun with earlier, then who did I meet?
