Bab 3: 3 . FANCY DINNER

ADRIANA

Pissed so pissed I've never experienced this kinda shit before , that freaking man had the freaking audacity to do that type of shitty thing.

He was olives brother by my guess, but I hadn't imagined him to be like that . Olive was so nice and lovely , but he's so jerky dude.

I locked the door huffing and changed my clothes.

it was 11pm , I thought of bringing a cake by 12 so I can cut with everyone. Yep on video call of course cause I had no one else to spend a birthday with . I walked out the house and went to a bakery near . I bought a cheesecake and some other stuff , For my night quality time with myself.

"Happy birthday to you"

My family wished past the line as I pieced the cake.

Well birthdays alone can be fun whole cake for yourself right.

"So what's your plan for your birthday addie?" My brother asked.

"Nothing special I'll have dinner at some fancy restaurant and a nice breakfast to start my day" . "Also will buy gifts for me" . I laughed

"You must be having fun there"

"Not yet but I'll have fun till now my time went alright . Just alright" I said considering all my past events.

"Well now let my daughter sleep it's too late" my mother said

"Yea goodnight everyone , be well"

"Goodnight bye , stay safe" I disconnected.

I lay back opened my laptop with a bag of chips and continued my remaining episode I left on pause earlier.

Time marches on as I completed one more episode my eyes closed without my consent. aaahnn , I yawned.

I sauntered to bathroom my eyes still half open , I tried to woke up early today but it was already 1pm so I had to cancle my breakfast plan.

I wore a yellow knee length sundress with some simple makeup and happily walked downstairs I almost ran I was excited.

I sat on the dining table as mr.davis came to me.

"Ma'am what you'll have for breakfast?"

"Ahh ummmm , can you make me some waffles with whipped cream and topped with blueberries " simple yet tasty it was my favourite breakfast.

"And yeah don't forget coffee" I said and stretched my lips into a big smile.

"Of course ma'am just fifteen minutes" he left

I waited as I thought of some things I could buy me, I was lost as I heard.

"Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you" it continued

I glanced back and it was the same guy from last night.

"What the heck is wrong with you , how you even know it's my birthday wait did you eavesdrop".

He finished his singing and sat on the seat next to me. "Excuse me , I'm not interested in eavesdropping, you people whoever were they were singing happy birthday so loudly that USA president heard it". Lame so lame I wanted to vomit . And only he was laughing on his own lamest. Ugh.

"Don't give up the day job" I said his face straightened and rolled his eyes.

This time I wanted to laugh but I bit back my laugh and flinched.

"Mr.davis" he shouted suddenly.

I wanted to laugh more he was now pissed I completed my revenge now I feel lighter.

"Yes sir"

"Bring me breakfast" he said in a tone colder than ice. Mr.davis nooded and left.

Leaving more colder silence. "Well now we're even i was pissed last night now you are so that makes us even right" I wanted to break the ice , he wasn't so bad as I thought . And not missing out the fact he was handsome.

He looked at me his light brown gaze piercing into me. Without further contact he said. "Hm you're smart" continued the eye contact.

"I'm smart what do you mean"

"Nothing" just a simple nothing. Doesn't he know I can't read his mind , but what I ignored.

"So what's your plan for your birthday?" He asked

"Nothing much a dinner and am gonna buy gifts for me" I smiled.

"You're gonna buy gifts for you yourself?" Another question.

"Yea there's no one else who can give me presents"

"Well that's true itself" he said .

"Here ma'am your breakfast and coffee". Mrdavis served my breakfast. The berries looked so fresh . It was my first breakfast here , I should write it down in my dairy I thought as I thanked him and he left. I planned on writing dairy of every memorable unmemorable events that will happen here to make everything memorable for after when I'll leave from here . Writing dairies was my way of capturing moments

"Woah It looks yummy" he was devouring my breakfast from his eyes only.

"Yummy but mine" I showed him a forced smile

"I'm not saying give it to me. Anyways you're going alone right for presents and dinner?"

I nodded as I chewed my waffle bite.

"So let's go together you don't even know Sydney I'll show you around and dinner on me as a birthday present for you" what. Did. He. Just. Said. I kept looking at him trying to find a correct response I could give him. Maybe he was just being sympathetic that I'm alone , I soon hated why I opened my mouth too much on the buy myself gifts part. And I still didn't knew him how could I spend nightout with him , judging by past event going with him wasn't safe . But if he does something crazy , or try to go on a wild goose chase, I'll break a bone in his nose.

I swallowed. "Well not a bad idea but you don't have to buy me dinner"

"It's a gi-" he was about to say some but I interrupted.

"And we're not close enough to buy each other gifts" I pressed my lips together I knew saying this to someone wasn't nice and from the past time he was trying to be so nice. But still I wasn't an easygoing one also I never trusted someone this quick.

His face dropped. I felt bad.

"Your wish" he simply said. "But we're going right?" I asked

"Of course we are" he chuckled. Phew .

His breakfast came as we did our breakfast and went out. "You have license?" I asked as an attempt of a joke. "I'm 22 ofcourse I have" he unlocked the car. "Oh really I thought you're smaller than me". I feel like I'm starting to become lame like him."Your age?" He asked . We sat inside . "I just turned 20" . We continued as we reached a mall .

I bought so many clothes and some decoration stuff for my room some products I needed and lastly I bought a dairy I'll write one year shift in it. "You wait here I'll come ok" he left somewhere while I looked out for some other stuff he was back prolly went to bathroom. "Come on let's go" this isn't where I was supposed to end I was about to take his name but I didn't knew his name I was shocked myself that we spend half a day together and I didn't knew his name I almost laughed at the fact.

We walked towards our car and sat inside. "Can I ask you one thing?" I said

"Ask two" .

"Well I only have one question and you'll be shocked when you'll hear the question". I let out a light laugh as he looked at me confused.

"Ask I've never been shocked to any question or feared to the answer" he said proudly as his hand tightened on the steering wheel.

"What's your name?" I asked he looked at me eyes widened. "Look look I told you you'll be shocked ,I was myself ".

"But the heck you don't know my name"

"You never told"

"You never asked"

"Well now I'm asking tell me"

"Nigel my name is Nigel Adriana". He pressed my name yeah I knew he was showing me that he know my name and I didn't knew his.

"Ohhhh Nigel so you're Nigel nice to meet you Nigel" I said with a big smile on my face . "Well nice to meet you too Adriana".

"You can also call me addie". Adriana felt way too formal for me.

"Addie it is then".We reached home. Okay now I finally got one friend .I think I mistook him last night he was actually now behaving like Olivia's brother I was glad that he understood and didn't did that despicable thing again. I wasn't a dork if he thought I am . I'm clearly not but shifting place then suddenly thrown into a situation where I felt like a mouse caught in a cage and the only living he sees is a cat ready to devour him whole. I was honestly a bit scared otherwise I would've given in the way he served himself.

I started to feel like this birthday isn't going to be that boring and half my day went super good too. Breakfast ,mall and now I was expecting a nice dinner too.

We both went in our rooms separately I wore a black dress with a twist, which I bought today . it was my twentieth birthday and I decided to wear a dress to feel like a lady. I opened my mid-length streaked hair and waved them . They were dead straight. I was done within two hours and it was 7:15 to be exact.

I walked out with my matching clutch. Would he be done by now. I thought as I knocked his room's door two times and he opened.

Very honest. He.looked.gorgeous.And now that I've discovered he have a nice personality too i idolised him more. He was handsome different from others not perhaps in the conventional sense, he had the appearance which could make him stand out in the crowd. His unfathomable dark brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his fair coloured face almost pale white.

And I realised I was staring at him for so long that I noticed this much.

5 seconds it has been. It felt like eternity

He coughed. I mean he should be the one staring at me like that but here we go I was staring at him like I've never seen a handsome before.

"Oh I'm sorry I was spaced out" I was technically.

"Anyways you look gorgeous, now you tell me how can a man control when there exists women like you" he had his own way of complimenting.

"Please don't. I hate hypersexual guys"

"What? I'm not hypersexual or otherwise last night I wou-"

"Okay okay, let's not talk about past events or it'll make trouble for us, we're getting late" I interrupted I knew what he was about to say but I didn't wanted to hear it at the moment.

"Yea we are let's go" he said. We drove off to a fancy restaurant as I planned for my birthday a fancy dinner. We both ordered , and not to mention we both were paying for our meals. Whatever it was I couldn't let him buy me dinner.

We.weren't.that.close. It has just been one day.

"So tell me about yourself" I asked Nigel I was curious what type of a guy he was, yeah he was nice but I can't tell his whole self in just one day. Maybe if I'll get to know him more I'll know what type of a person he is, cause there's a saying "first impression is the last impression".

"What do you wanna know" he said tapping his fingers constantly on the table.

"Like your interest". This is one thing I know, you can judge a person by his interest.

"I have interest in you" he simpered. The hell he just wanna get on bed.

"Oh I see your taste good" I said as I crossed my arms over my chest in a proud manner.

"I know right. Now you tell me what's your interest"

"We're asking about you not me" I knew he's not being serious with me but I myself didn't wanted to dig into his life. If he fakes I fake if he's serious I'm serious. But one thing I decided he's not the person whom I can consider my friend yet.

"Alright anything else you wanna know" he glanced slightly at the waiter who was coming towards us but went somewhere else, infuriating thing waiters usually do.

"Do you study?" I asked as I followed his gaze then again looked at his impatient face looks like he love food.

"Dude, I'm topper I mean I'm not a nerdy chick but I'm pretty good in studies, currently in university." He praised himself actually I didn't expected him to be the topper but one plus point in his personality. My mindset is that toppers are nice people.

"That's good" I kept my reply, as the food came.

"Uh I have something for you, I know you said we're not close enough to give each other presents but still it's your birthday" he stated . I didn't wanted him to give me present but I couldn't say no to a birthday present also I was curious what would it be.

"Now that you've bought it I can't say no what is it?" I said as he gave me a black box it was big as my hand I opened it.I lost my appetite. He laughed, his head dropping back. My nose ached. It was a punch box. it annoyed me I felt like everyone everything creeping me, I felt embarrassment rushing inside me. I felt embarrassed. He thought it's a joke, but for me it wasn't. I hate when someone mocked me and it wasn't less than mocking for me. It wouldn't be a big deal for me maybe if my friend did it I would've laughed that off but infront of him, he was a guy I didn't even knew properly. the excitement I had when I opened the box and the embarrassment I was left with, the way he was laughing on me. I clearly made a joke of myself.

I silently placed the box on table, took my clutch and walked out of there. He started following me after he did the payment well for both of us.

"Oi where you going i was just pulling your leg why you're so worked up about that" he said as he pulled my arm making me face him. I stopped.

"It wasn't a joke for me" i released my hand and quickened my steps. He followed me. I didn't even knew where I was going in the middle I realised I did too much, but I had anger issues it wasn't my fault, and when I realised we were already lost somewhere we didn't even had dinner. Now I was angry on me. I stopped at some strange street there were no people no one no light just moonlight and one car parked at very distance from us. I was tensed I couldn't figure out where i lead both of us.

"Oh God don't you get tired walking this much" he pants hands on his knees as he takes deep breaths.

"Listen Nigel do you know what place is this". I didn't knew about places but he lives here he was my only hope back I couldn't stay angry with him anymore. Also it was my fault I took both of us here I had to do something.

"Bro you took both of us here you should know where we are" he said looking around .

"Yeah I know but I was angry I just kept walking I don't know what place is this I've never been here you should know you live here do something, we didn't even ate anything and I don't want any animal to come devour me on my birthday night.."my forehead sweated my heart beating more than hundred beat in a minute.

"It's your fault you overreacted now see we're both hungry and lost" he said as he sat on a footpath fidgeting his fingers.

"I know it is but what do we do now we need to find our way back" I sat with him. We didn't had anything to locate our location our phones were in the car, ofcourse we didn't planned this but all my fault my ego my anger, ughh.
