Miles POV
At precisely 1 pm, Cole already texted me that he was already at the hospital entrance. So I immediately prepare my things. The one thing that I know about that person is that he doesn't want to be the one waiting. He is a very impatient person. So impatient!
I haven't had my lunch yet 'cause I have to wait for Auntie May to arrive. I can't get out of Cleo room 'cause there is no one to replace me as her guardian. I don't want to leave her with the nurses. Auntie Mai entrusted her to me. I will not disappoint her. When Auntie Mai finally arrived.
"Oh, Miles! Thank God! You're still here. I'm sorry my event got to finish so late, and we have to double-check it until this morning to see if everything is according to plan. You know the responsibility of being one of the owners. Your Uncle is still in Singapore, so he can't do it. I'm so sorry if we become an inconvenience to you." She said while fixing her thing on the cabinet
"Oh no! Auntie. You and Cleo will never be a burden to me. I'm always happy to lend my help to you on anything. You're like a second mother to Cleo and me as my twin, so it's nothing. "
"Gosh, Miles! What will I do without you? You've helped Cleo and me so much. Cleo is very lucky to have a best friend like you."
"Likewise, Auntie. I'm also lucky to have Cleo as my friend."
She smiled at me and hugged me
When she let go.
"Oh! You're going somewhere. Is your brother Andrew will fetch you here?" She asked me
"Nope, Auntie, I will go on my own," I said
"Oh. Okay. Do you want to eat first? I can order food." Auntie Mai offered
"Aw, no, thank you, Auntie. I can eat when I get home. I'm sure mom would love it too if I choose to eat at home."
"Ahh, yes. Laila and her rules. I wish I could be like her. She is so hands-on with her family. Suppose I can be just like her. Maybe I can prevent all of this from happening to my baby. Maybe I..." Auntie Mai was about to break down again, so just hugged her immediately to console her
"Please don't say that, Auntie. You know Cleo will never forgive herself if she learns that you blame yourself for what she did. It's not your fault Auntie, no one wants and knows that this will happen. Don't be too hard on yourself. You did your best to be the best mother for Cleo. Cleo knows that. Did you know that she always idolizes you? She wants to be like you when she grows up. We may never understand why all of this is happening. Only God knows. What we can do now is pray for her fast recovery. I know she is fighting to live with Auntie. I can feel her. She knows how much we want her to fight. Don't lose hope. We have to be strong for her."
I said to her. I continue to hug Auntie. Yes! I maybe look so strong now, but I want to cry too.
When Auntie Mai finally calmed down, that was when I could eventually leave her alone. I wanted to stay longer for Auntie Mai, but she insisted that I could now go.
When I was in the elevator, I realized what would happen later. OMG! He asked me on a date today. GOSH! I can't believe I'll be able to fulfill Rule number 3.
Make him ask you on a date and make sure that the date will be the one he will not forget.
Cause it's not me who should be asking him on a date, but he should. It's been my problem for weeks now because I don't know how in the hell will it be the one who is being pursued, will the one who will ask the pursuer. Imagine my shocked expression when I finally realize what will happen later.
I wonder how and what we will be doing later. I wonder how someone like Cole Anderson does dates.
When I go out of the hospital, Cole welcomes me with a bouquet. Don't forget how handsome he looks right now. that smile that he is wearing right now is enough to make everybody here falls for him. He is wearing a Black long sleeves polo with matching white pants. It's simple, but gosh. He looks perfect
OMG! Here we go. My heart is pumping so loud again.
Heart, please stop. He will hear you.
Once I'm in front of Cole, He handed me the flower
"For you," He said while still not removing the broad smile he was now wearing. I received it
"Thank you!" I said. I was shocked when he held my left hand and kissed it.
OMG! What the hell is happening! He mentioned me to ride his cars. When I was about to open the car door on the shotgun side, he stopped me. What shocked me again was that he opened the door of his car for me.
Oh, God! Please, someone, tell me what is happening. When were are already inside his car, I asked him
"Cole, what's with you today." I confusedly asked him. He is not like this. He never treats me like this. He has never been like a gentleman to me.
"Nothing. I want to do this, right?" He said I was about to fix my seat belt but stopped me again
"May I? " He asked. What the? I don't know why, but I just nodded. I can't seem to say anything or complain to him right now.
He went really near me as in very near me. I can even feel his breath in my face. GOSH!
He slow grabs the seat belt and carefully puts it on me.
"Thank you!" I said after he was done fixing my seatbelt
"Anything for you." He said and started to drive the car.
We are now driving on the road to go somewhere I have no idea where. I don't know, but why do I feel so nervous now. I feel like something big will happen tonight. When he suddenly speak again.
"Miles, did you have your lunch already? " he asked while still staying focus on the road.
"Nope, not yet. Why?" I said
"Perfect." He just said.
"Where are we going," I asked him
"It's a surprise!" He said, looking and sounding so excited.
"Ok...ay..." then I return to view the outside road on my side.
I wonder where we are going.
Cole stop in front of a very high-end restaurant.
OMG! I know this restaurant. It is tough to eat here.
Some people make a reservation here for months to be able to eat here.
Don't mention the price of the food here. How do I know this? As you may know, I'm an HRMS student. One of my hobbies is to research this kind of fancy restaurant. I want to know what makes them different and popular compared to those mid-level restaurants.
"Cole, what are we doing out here." I asked him when I was getting out of his car
"We are having lunch here." He said
"What? Isn't it hard to eat here? How did you." I asked him confusedly
"I have my ways." He said to me, sounding so proudly.
"ohhhhh," I can't help but feel amazed about this. How can I not be? It is tough to go here!
He let me cling my arms into his. I can't help but feel something. I don't know what this is, but it is something weird.
but
We are about to enter the restaurant when someone stops us.
"Sir, you are not allowed to go inside!" He said while stopping us.
"WHAT?" He exclaimed.
