It didn"t take a while and their food finally arrived.
Even with the food, Harmony couldn"t help but be impressed.
They ate quietly while the pianist was playing music for them.
Harmony knew that even if this was just a show, what Drake did really made an impact on her. She appreciated all his effort for bringing her here and for making this day so special for her.
If only she could tell him everything that she felt before she saw him at the coffee shop earlier, she already could. She went with him with a heavy heart since she could still recall everything that happened to her and Paul.
She couldn"t understand why she kept on going to the shop when it didn"t do anything but to make her remember all the memories that she had shared with Paul. The dreams that she had built with Paul while drinking her favorite coffee and eating her favorite blueberry cheesecake.
"Is there something wrong with the food?" Drake"s voice dragged her out from her deep thoughts.
"Huh?" she said and then looked at the man."You stop eating. Didn"t you like it? Do you want us to order a different one?" He asked one after the other.
She looked at her plate and she saw that she was not even able to eat even half of it.
"No, it"s okay. I am sorry. I just remember something," she said and then she continued to eat her food.
"Was that bastard?" Drake said in a firm tone.
Her eyebrows were knitted together while she was chewing the food that was inside her mouth.
"Bastard?" She said after she had swallowed her food."Yeah that guy who dumped you in the coffee shop," she said straight to her face and she couldn"t help but looked around to check if someone actually heard what he said.
She was thankful that the live band was singing a song and it was filling the whole restaurant because of the big speakers in every corner of the place.
Harmony shook her head.
"As if I will believe you," Drake uttered in a low voice but that didn"t escape from her ears.
"So, what if it was him?" She said.
"Did he take you to this kind of restaurant?" Drake suddenly asked."No. He isn"t rich like you so he wouldn"t be able to take me in this kind of place. He is just an ordinary masteral student like me but he is focused with his theater career," she didn"t know but she had explained herself to the man.
"And, do you believe what he said to you that day?"
"Are we really supposed to be here to talk about what happened that day? Seriously?" She couldn"t help but ask in a mocking tone.
She shook her head and then she drank the wine in her glass and emptied it.
"Hey, take it slow," he said when she made a face because of the taste of the red wine.
"I don"t want to talk about him. Please, make it the last time that you will be mentioning it," she said and then she continued eating the food.
"I am sorry," Drake suddenly uttered.
She was surprised. She didn"t know that the man would apologize for what he said.
After that, they ate quietly until they finished eating.
They listened to a couple of love songs that the band had sang and then Drake told her that they should get going.Harmony thought that they would be leaving but she was surprised when they were walking in a different direction.
"Where are we going?" She said with wonder in her voice.
"Just wait, we will get there in a few minutes," Drake said. And just like earlier, he was holding her hand.
For Drake, she was like a fragile object that he didn"t want to break. He was so careful in holding her hand and in guiding her as they walked through the trail.
There were a lot of trees on their way and she could see a number of couples heading in the same direction that they were taking.It seemed that Drake had a lot of things for this date. This was their first date as girlfriend and boyfriend. Just sad to think that this was all pretension.
She was just looking at the man while Drake"s eyes were focused on the way.
Harmony"s heart was pounding so fast and she couldn"t explain everything that she was feeling because of what Drake was doing even if he said that these were all part of their show.
Why did the man have to put in a lot of effort? This was one of the questions that kept on popping in her mind.She let out a deep sigh because she was really confused but she couldn"t get herself to be carried away with everything that the man was doing or else at the end, just like what happened to her relationship with Paul, she would be left with a broken heart.
"We are here," Drake finally said and then the man looked at her.
She was surprised. Their eyes met and she couldn"t explain why there was something that she could feel the way that the man was staring at her.
"Come here. Get closer," Drake said and then he pulled her hand and it seemed that the man was unable to calculate the force he gave and she fell on his sturdy chest.
She felt her heartbeat accelerated because of what happened.
They were in that position for a couple of seconds until she realized what happened.
She distanced herself from him.
"I am sorry. I lost balance," she said.
"It"s okay. Look," he said and then he pointed in the direction in front of them.
"Wow," that was the only word that she was able to utter the moment that she saw what was in front of her. She didn"t know what to say and think.
