章節 47: Chapter 47: You make me feel like dancing

Back in my room, I looked at my cellphone. No text, no nothing. Okay, so what gave me the expectation that Anthony, or at least Andy, will send me a text message? Ugh. I gave myself an eyeroll.

Anyway, with my money problem in the future solved and career path planned out, I can now focus on my campus potential love life again. Hmmm… should I text Anthony? Like we will never get to have a romantic relationship if I don't make some moves. I mean I didn't do anything in my original timeline and that's the outcome so how could something happen if I proceed to do the same now? Should I just wait for the apple to fall down from the tree?

I opened my inbox where I saved Anthony's messages. Ok, so like there's only 2 from him now but surely later I will need to delete other text messages in my inbox so that I can save his until the new phone models come out. What? I enjoy rereading our exchange of text messages.

It makes me feel so giddy with the thought that he might like me too. Then, if he becomes my boyfriend, I will write him a story of how everything between us started as my first anniversary gift to him! HAHAHA!!! How sentimental is that!? Then he will love me more. Ok. Stop Michelle. Your mind is acting like a real teenager again worse than all the Korean dramas you ever watched.

Anyway, I clicked reply and a new text message prompt appeared. What do I say? Ah! I must start making my moves while I still have my feeling indebted to him excuse. Why waste it with just giving him ginseng!? It's time to go full power mode without being obvious! What's the saying again? Oh yeah. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Let's go with that then! Ok gotta type! Crazy heart stop being nervous!!!

[Good evening Anthony… I hope you don't mind me asking, uh… what time is your first breaktime tomorrow?]

Ok, message sent. I'm gonna have a heart attack with the waiting for his reply. Can't we just have the messenger, viber etc function so I will know if he's seen my message already!? Or better yet, so I would know if he's typing his reply!? WAHHHHH!!!!! I hate this old school style!

Then my phone vibrated. I quickly unlocked to check. He replied! He replied so fast!

[I'm free from 9:00- 10:30. Why?]

Oh great. Why does it have to happen when I have class!? Why oh why was fate doing this to me!? Oh well, I'm just gonna skip class this one time. Besides, it's basic economics. I can pass the exams even if I don't listen to the lectures. Hehehe.

[Uhm… well, I hope you won't dislike or misinterpret. But my mother insists that we show our gratitude for yesterday, when you sent me back home. Earlier, I forgot to hand you what she asked me to give you during class. So now, she felt more embarrassed since a day has already passed. So… uh, she wants me to send you a meal too… would that be alright?]

Ok, whatever excuse I can come up with. Thanks Ma, you're the best. I can now be a script writer with this story I'm coming up with. I waited and waited. His reply took longer to arrive, maybe he's also carefully constructing his reply? Ah. Here it is!

[It would be an honor to receive a meal auntie personally prepared, but won't that be too troublesome for her and for you?]

Anthony… why are you so nice and wonderful and did I mention wonderful? It's like you literally came out of a romance novel. I'm on cloud 9!!!! But!!! The meal is something I will cook.

Well, actually, this is better, if he doesn't like it, then he won't know it's from me. If he likes it, then I can just let him know that it's from me later! We can even get to share a meal together… like a DATE!!! Can I do this? Well, I think I'm so courageous to text him coz I don't see his face!

[Not at all. My mother usually cooks our breakfast in the morning. So, she'll just have to add one more serving for you. She would be very happy to know that you will receive it. While me, my 1st class is from 9-10:30 but we have free cut tomorrow, so there's no trouble at all.]

His reply came in a minute.

[Alright. Where should I meet you and what time?]

Ah!!!! Did I mention that I took cooking classes before when I was crushing on Anthony real hard? Again, my dream was to become his semi-retired housewife, and cooking him a meal and him liking the food was one of my fantasies! It's about to become a reality! I want to cry! I'm so happy!

[The cafeteria at 9:00 am would be good. ^^]

oh my god. This is it!

[ok. See you tomorrow!]

I pinched myself. This was really happening. I squealed as I ran to my bed. You know like that scene in 'pretty woman' where Julia Roberts ran to the bed when Richard Gere left the hotel after agreeing to pay her 3000usd!? I did a reenactment. I was so giddy with excitement. I hugged my pillow and rolled around the bed. Belatedly I realized I was not able to reply. I immediately started typing.

[Yes, see you then. Thank you! And good night!]

Another reply came.

[Goodnight!]

'You make me feel like dancing…' I started singing while shaking my body on the bed. hahahaha! I forgot the next part of the lyrics but whatever! I'm so happy!

After my joy subsided a little, I went to my study table to start drafting the menu. 'what should I prepare for tomorrow? Gods! I should have asked for his preference! What if he has allergy?' I shook my head.

I did not notice the time as I wrote what to cook. It couldn't be that simple. When will I get the chance again? In the end, when I looked at what I came up with, it felt like I will be attending a Chinese wedding!

Ugh. I crumpled the paper. Apparently, preparing the menu was more difficult than asking Anthony to receive it himself!
