The Return (De Laurel Trilogy #1)

17

When I woke up, the call was still surprisingly on. But, Alexander was already asleep. He looked cute, though.

I decided to end the call and just text him that I needed to run some errands. Of course, I needed to, since we had a date today.

I decided not to call Gigi since she was probably wasted last night. She is always partying at a Saturday when there's no class so, she was probably stuck in a hungover today.

Since it was a few hours before lunch time, I decided to go shopping for some clothes and essentials. I quickly took a shower, told one of my brothers that I'm headed out then drove off to the mall.

As I arrived a went to a few stores and bought a few stuffs before having brunch at one of the RJJ Store Branches.

"Hello, what can I get for you?" The waitress queried a few seconds after I sat down in a booth.

"Can I please get a Chicken Parmesan and a Coke Zero. I will also get a piece of blueberry cheesecake which will be served later on." I smiled.

"Okay, your order will be up in about fifteen minutes. She said, then turning around to go to the kitchen, - maybe. At exactly fifteen minutes, my order came. Of course, I began eating.

Whilst in the middle of eating, I got a message from Alexander.

From: Love ♡

Hey, loveee! Good morning-ish! Did you sleep well?

To: Love ♡

Goof Morning! Yes, hbu?

From: Love ♡

Yes, of course. Anyways, for our date later, just wear comfortable clothes. And make sure you wear closed shoes ;) I'll be picking you up quarter after 3.

To: Love ♡

Okay. See you later, love.

As I hit send, I went back to eating. After that, I then called the waitress that served me earlier for my blueberry cheesecake which she served immediately. After eating the said cheesecake, I then on proceeded to pay the bill.

Leaving the store, I then on continued on shopping. About an hour later, I was contented with my stuff and went home.

Feeling the semi-cold air as I got off the car, I hurried off inside to organize the stuff I bought. Whilst waiting for my time to start getting ready for my date, I looked at our group chat.
