Chapter 9 - chapter 9: the black swan town III

As they got closer to the Riverside,the view which was visible earlier from a higher place was now Infront of them.

The beautiful clear river with clean green grass at sides. The beautiful Pavement build Infront of them for the walk and stalls at both sides of the river.

The stalls were designed to look like native people's tints and a whole view of an old civilization was build in a place that holds the memory of such people.

Nebula's eyes opened wide and were filled with excitement, so much that words didn't seemed to be able to describe her excitement. As if you could see sparkles in her eyes.

Nebula put both of her hands on the sides of her mouth. she gasped then said

What a nice view. It looks even more beautiful than how it is shown from the entrance.

Yes, that is the beauty of this place. I suggest you come at night it looks even better at that time.

Really?

Then with a devilish smile Nebula says

Is this a way to ask for a date at night?

Cedric unfazed with her comment says

No, it was just a suggestion. But I don't hate the idea.

Nebula got both flustered and angry by how Cedric turned her words against her and also how unfazed he was, then she said.

Is there no way for me to get you show some red cheeks?

Who knows, maybe I was born like this.

At that time she pouted and turned her head toward the river

' why is he like that? Couldn't he show at least a bit of frustration?'

While she thought like that Cedric that was born with cheeks that didn't red thought to himself

'What is wrong with her? Good thing my face didn't turn red.'

Nebula after looking at the view for a while turned her face toward Cedric and said

So, what is next?

Did you had enough of this?

Not really, but I want to see other things as well.

That is a good idea.

So, where will it be?

Let's see. Why don't we go to a good restaurant to eat?

Cedric's stomach makes sound after saying that. And a long silence filled the air.

After a while Nebula chuckles and says

Let's go faster sees like you are really hungry.

Cedric feeling embarrassed nods in agreement

'ah, that was really embarrassing, why did it have to make a sound at that time of all times?

Nebula which was in a pleased state thought to herself

'that was really cute. His shy face is really cute. Thank you stomach sounds, you made my day today.

Then imaging her past after a few seconds she thought to herself

Although most of the time you embarras me this time I will be thankful of you.'

Then Nebula raises both her hands and clap them, making a praying posture

' thank you stomach growls but just for this time. We still have a lot of grudges.'

Cedric looking at her posture, confused said

What are you praying for?

Nebula suddenly shocked puts her hands down and while scratching her head, in a shy voice says

Nothing.

With suspicious eyes Cedric asks

Really? I feel like I have to worry about it.

Nebula shaking her head in disagreement says

No, there is nothing to worry about.

she starts looking around then asks

Where is the restaurant? We have walked for quite a bit.

We are close. Just a few more streets and we'll arrive at it.

Both of them stay silent after that until they reach the restaurant

Nebula in thought continues walking while Cedric stops in front of the restaurant when he sees Nebula still walking be makes a small smile and calls out to her

Miss, shouldn't you stop by now?

Nebula startled notices that Cedric has stopped a few steps away.

Frustrated she walks fast back to him and asks

Why didn't you call me sooner?

Because it was funny and cute.

Hearing that Nebula's face and ears turn blood red again

She starts waving her hand against her face to create wind.

With a trembling voice while shaking her hands she say

Were you some type of playboy in past?

Cedric smirks

No? Why you ask?

Nothing, just wondering. Because you seem to be able to tell embarrassing things that easily.

Cedric's grin becomes wider as he sees the chaotic expression of Nebula. He asks

Is that really the case?

Nebula noticing Cedric playing with her. With big and fast steps she moves toward the restaurant

Let's go then. Someone here doesn't seem to be able to handle hunger well.

Hearing that Cedric makes a small smile

Yes, let's go.

After that they eat lunch at the restaurant then leave the place and go to a few more places.

Visiting a big mall, seeing the nearby groceries shops, seeing the statues, sites and other places.

And before they notice the sun had gone down and the sky had turned dark.

After exiting the last place they had to visit they see the night sky, noticing that a lot of time had passed Cedric turns his head to Nebula and says

It seems that the night has come.

Yes, I think we should have visited every place that was needed to be seen.

Yes, we are finished with the places I had to show you. Now, as for my last mission. May I escort you to your house?

It is much appreciated. But, I will go myself. I don't want to bother you more than this.

As you say then.

Cedric looking at Nebula asks

May I have your number?

Nebula confused asks

Why?

Because I enjoyed my time with you so I would like to be in contact after today as well.

I see, I was thinking you were thinking of going to that night date with me.

Cedric with a surprised expression smiles

Okay, I will do that then.

Good, you may have my number then.

You don't forget things easily.

No, how would I have become a doctor if I did?

After exchaing contacts they say goodbye to each other. And go to toward their houses.
