Chapter 15

🦋Mental health is an important topic, and should be discussed more frequently. It's not "attention seeking.🦋

"But I just saw you smiled," you said with gleaming eyes. "You should smile more. I think you look handsome when you smile," you mumbled.

He looked at you with parted lips and looked down at his hands with sealed lips. "You... do?"

You grabbed his hand that was on the table making him look up and smiled. "Yeah, I do," you said softly with flushed cheeks.

He looked at you and did his smile.

"Thank you, Y/n."

"You're welcome," you say back with almost a closed eye smile. He shook his head at you and let out a laugh through his nose by blowing air.

You heard another song started playing and you hummed silently to the catchy tune as you laid your cheek on your hand, watch the little kids from earlier laugh along with their family.

"So... how have you been?" You asked looking back at your date. The man who sat across you at the table looked at you and took a sip of his red wine and hummed.

"Good."

You knew he wasn't going to tell you the truth because there were things he was hiding from you that were a most likely person, so you didn't push it. You didn't want to ruin this date.

You picked up a small block of cheese along with half of the bread, eating it, and taking a sip of your wine to wash it down. "Are you enjoying yourself," you asked softly with a small smile.

You took your champagne glass, which was half full to empty, and moved it around slowly, letting the liquid swish around.

He sat down his drink and furrowed his eyebrows. "To be honest," he looked at you to see you with a cheeky smile.

"Go on. Say it," you gestured with the flick of your wrist.

"No," he said rolling his eyes and looking the other way. You laughed silently and shook your head.

"Why are you like this?"

"Okay," he admitted. "I've enjoyed myself."

"That's good to hear," you said sweetly with a blush on your face.

The warm light on your left-hand side, which was on his right, was shinning from the inside of the restaurant, shined on your face making your face look brighter and happy.

The string lights that were hanging around from the wooden ceiling and walls decorated around you made you look even more beautiful than you already are.

Ray looked at you with sealed lips taking in your features, ignoring your gibberish about the food and scenery.

"Ray?" He looked at you with a confused expression. You thought he looked cute but you needed to tell him something.

"It's time for us to pay for our things," you said looking at the waitress. He looked up at the redhead female with blue eyes and hummed.

You reached into your purse to pull out your money getting ready to pay the lady who stood beside you.

"Okay sir, thank you for your time. And you two have a nice night."

You looked up with a confused look, looking from Ray and searching for the girl. You saw the woman was no longer near you, going back inside of the building.
