NMSC 6: Entangled Hearts (Tiaom)

IX

Athena wasn't able to sleep the entire night.Just thinking about Steph and because of so much excitement, she almost forgot to fetch Steph from their meeting place since it is the first she will visit Athena's place.She quickly took off from the bed and took a shower.

Aom: good morning kiddo, why are you rushing?

Tina: yes, do you have some essential things to do? join us for breakfast

Athena: mom, aren't you going to go to the market to buy some goods for later's dinner?

Aom: oh yes! I almost forgot! Thanks for reminding me

Athena: how about you, dad?

Aom: you can come with me

Tina: really?

Aom: yeah, so someone will carry the groceries

Tina: excellent! that is very thoughtful.

Athena: have fun guys, I have to go. Love you both. mwah mwah

Steph was already there when I arrived and based on her looks. She's a little bit worried.

Athena: hey

Steph: oh God, I thought you already forget me,(sigh)

Athena: sorry, I need to be sure that my parents will be out of the house before we start the plan

Steph: did they left already?

Athena: no, I left first, but I'm sure they won't be home when we get there.

Steph: good

Steph was so amazed by the outside view of Athena's house.

Steph: Wow, this place is impressive. I can stay here forever. I mean, look at the garden.

Athena: I think it would be nice if the dinner will be there. What do you think?

Steph: Yeah, I think that's a good idea too. So let's start?

Athena can't stop looking at Steph secretly, and even if she sweats, she still looks good.

Athena: you need a towel?

Steph: what?

Athena: come on ill wipe your face

Steph: thanks, I'm tense, so I'm sweating

Athena: relax, you're doing great

Steph: really?

Athena: yes, I'm sure mom and dad would love this.

Steph: I'm relieved. Thanks

Athena: Thanks for the effort, Steph

Steph: anything to make your parents happy. And you also

Athena looks away to hide her blushing cheeks.

Steph: actually, this is my dream date. Suppose the time will come that I already have a special someone. ill demand to have a dinner date like this one. (laugh) so demanding. maybe that's the reason why I'm an NBSB

Athena: Well, I guess if I'm your special someone, I won't mind organizing this date. As long as this will make you happy, I am always willing to help.

Steph: aaahhh, that's so sweet, have your exes did this also for you?

Athena: no. hehe (cause I'm the one who gives all the efforts )

Steph: what? But you had dates. like on your special days

Athena: Naah, I never had been a treat for a date or dinner or anything.

Steph: seriously? with that pretty face? You deserve to be treated as unique, my dear. it's good you broke up with them

Athena: and it good to be single

Steph: 100%correct, and besides, you have me. I'm more valuable than most guys you dated.

Athena: I agree with that but is it true, you never had a boyfriend ever since?

Steph: nope. I'm enjoying being single—no stress or whatsoever. I have so many friends who regretted having a boyfriend. And so now they already had girlfriends (laugh)Athena, is that a joke? (laugh)

Steph: no, I'm serious. Haha, They said love has no gender. Which I also believe.

Athena: true

Steph: actually, before one of my girl classmate confesses that she has a feeling for me

Athena: really? What did you do?

Steph: nothing. I just said thank you, then that's it. I'm not against that, but I'm. not also into that. Because I'm straight, and she also never insisted on her feelings. And the truth is, after a week. she already had a boyfriend. (laugh) weird right?Athena: aha, that's weird. hehe ( maybe my feelings for you will fade when the right time comes, ill wait for it. but for now, there's nothing to do but hide it)
