BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I look like a child while staring at the sky in amusement while sipping the coffee I brought earlier in a famous coffee shop here in the city. I have been so happy lately. Maybe Ken was right when he said that living in truth set me free. These past few days, Tiffany was still bugging me. However, I stopped paying attention to her because doing so might ruin my day.

” You looked insane there. Is that the effect of being in love?”

I rolled my eyes when I heard Rhea’s comment. She somehow loves to ruin the moment. She chuckled while sitting down in the vacant seat parallel to mine.

” If you were not my friend, I maybe called the mental hospital to pick you up. You looked insane earlier. You stared blankly then smiling widely.” Rhea commented.

” Psh, it is because you are so taking a long time,” I blamed her.

” It was traffic going here. Beside, Caleb arrived late,” Rhea replied while pouting. Wait, did she say Caleb?

” Are you implying that you and Caleb arrived here together?” I asked while raising my eyebrow. It seemed like my best friend was hiding something from me.

” Well, yes. He volunteered,” Rhea simply answered and took a sip of my coffee. This girl is so gross.

” Witch, that was my coffee,” I protested, but she just took another sip.

” Why? We are together almost our whole life,” She commented before handing back my coffee.

” I do not want to. Have it. You are so gross,” I pretended that I felt really gross about what she did. Rhea frowned because of what I did.

” Just kidding,” I said while laughing.

” You are so mean,” She childishly stated and pouted her lips. I shook my head because of what she did. Sometimes, this girl really had a childish personality.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

” Anyway, what do you mean that he volunteered? Is there something you are hiding from me?” I tried to intrigue her before I sipped some coffee. Of course, I wiped the mouth of the cup without Rhea noticing it because I am sure she would do long rants if she saw me doing it.

” Well, there were a lot of things going on between you and Ken these past weeks. So Caleb and I became closer in attempting to help you two fix your relationship,” Rhea explained while her face was on her palm. But she was avoiding my gaze.

” Is that so? Is there nothing else?” I asked while attempting to catch her gaze. This girl was hiding something from me.

” You have a lot of question, Beshy. Let us change our topic. What is your plan, anyway?” Rhea asked out of nowhere.

” About what?” I asked her in confusion.

” Your birthday is fast approaching, any plans?” She stated, which reminded me that she was right.

” Because of a lot of things going on in my life these past weeks, I totally forgot about that. I actually do not have any plan since you know,” I almost whispered the last words I spoke.

” Psh, I know wherever she is right now, she would never want you to be sad about what happened. I will plan a celebration for you,” Rhea attempted to energize me by shaking my shoulders.

” Do not bother. I am sure mom and dad will prepare something since they talked to me earlier. I told them that I would not join the preparation, and they can do anything they want,” I explained while faking my smile to hide the sadness that I suddenly felt in addition to the coldness of the breeze.

” Ohh,”

Our surroundings were covered by silence after the reaction made by Rhea. I know she was right in telling me that if Cassie was here, she would not allow me to feel sadness. However, I could not help but long for her presence.

” It was still early to be sad,” I heard someone comment behind me.

” What are you doing here?” Rhea asked irritably. He simply chuckled, and I felt that he moved from my back.

” You haven’t told her, did you?” He asked me after he successfully put a paper bag on the table and sat down on a vacant seat after my seat.

” About what?” Rhea asked while raising her eyebrow.

” Stop that, Rhea. James and I were okay,” I was the one who answered since she had been busy glaring at James since earlier.

” What do you mean okay?!” Rhea exclaimed. Tsk, this girl was overreacting.

” Calm down, Rhea. James and I talked already. We will remain as bestfriends,” I explained furthermore.

” Ahh, I thought a different thing. But, why?” I could not help but laugh because of Rhea’s reaction.

” What do you mean why?” James asked. His eyebrows were meeting each other.

” Just no offence but I could not believe that you two were bestfriend again,” Rhea replied in grumpiness.

” Why? Are you threatened to be replaced?” James teased her. This guy was really naughty.

” Me? Threatened by you? Are you not the one who goy replaced?” Rhea teased him back. James was about to appeal his case when I cut him off.

” Stop that before it went to somewhere else,” I stopped them from teasing each other.

” What is this, anyway?” I asked James while pointing to the paper bag in front of me.

” Ahh, mom is here. She asked me to give it to you after she heard that we were okay,” James simply replied.

” Really? Auntie is here?” I could hide my excitement when I heard about the news, so I asked him again.

” Yes, your mother called her and invited her to your birthday party, so my mother immediately booked a flight to go back here,” He replied in a calm manner. Oh, this guy really had a cute accent. But wait, did he say a birthday party?

” What do you mean birthday party?” I asked in wonder. My mother did not mention anything about it to me earlier.

” Ask her what?” I did not know why but my skin hair raised because of the coldness of the voice we heard. I looked around to see the one who asked the question.

” Easy, bro. I simply wanted to ask her about what will happen to her birthday party,” James replied while they stared at each other intensely. On the other hand, Caleb sat down beside Rhea in a tricky way.

” Your birthday?” Ken asked me meaningfully.

” Not yet. It will be on October 18.” I replied. He seemed shocked because of my answer.

” It is coming already,” Ken responded after faking a cough. I frowned while looking at him, who currently sat down between James and me. He asked James to move.

” So, what is your plan? Wanna have a date with me?” Ken relaxedly added.

” That is so smooth bro,” Caleb commented and exchanged high-fives with Ken. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling.

” I just wanted to sleep during that day,” I remarked.

“Pfft”

We looked at James because of his chuckle. Ken instantly glared at him because he laughed. I could not help but smile seeing them. Who would have thought that the two most important people in my life could be friends with each other? I hope this happiness will last forever.

UNKNOWN’S POV

” Enjoy your coffee, Ma’am.” The waiter told me while widely smiling before he left. I gently took the cup and sipped some coffee. That girl is really slow. She is getting on my nerves.

” Sorry for waiting,” She said while gasping for some air and sat down in the vacant seat in front of me.

” What took you so long?” I asked her coldly.

” I am sorry. I got a hard time getting the details you asked me to get,” She said while handing me a piece of paper. I took it from her and smirked when I saw that it was the complete information I needed.

” Very good, Tiffany. My entrance will be really grand on that special day,” I told her and smiled in the creepiest way. It’s payback time, honey. I will get him from you!
