SUMMER LOVE | CHAENNIE VERSION

CHAPTER 36

You never get old for love. Roseanno watched himself on the mirror, he comb his grey hair, and put the hat on his head. He smiled widely.

He can't drive anymore, government pull out his driving license. He took a cab to Ella's apartment. His heart beat in happiness. He checked himself on the mirror once again before he walked in to the apartment lobby.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Kim, unit 244, under name Ella Kim."

"What's your name, Sir?"

"Roseanno. My name is Roseanno Park."

"I'll call her, please wait there!" the receptionist asked him to wait.

He doesn't want to sit. He's still waiting near the counter.

"She will come in a couple of minutes, Sir," the receptionist told him.

"Thank you," he sat on the couch, he can't stop smiling.

Jennie is coming, she wore a simple dress. She pulled her hairs up. Roseanno immediately stood up when Jennie came closer.

"Hi," he greeted Jennie.

"Hi, Roseanno," she smiled to Roseanno, his heart beats faster.

"Shall we go, now?"

"Of course."

They took a cab. Roseanno opened the car door for Jennie, and let her get in first, they sat on the back seat.

"I'm sorry we have to take cab, I can't drive anymore," Roseanno smiled.

"It's okay. It's still good. We can talk. Where will we go?"

"How about rodeo drive?"

Jennie nodded. Rodeo drive, they used to go to that place back then. Strolling around, holding hand, enjoy their free time together. Today, they will go there again.

They walked side by side. Everything is changing, the old place that Jennie remember is completely different now. So many people on the street, they walked among the crowd. Roseanno grab her hand and hold it.

"It's too crowded, we could be separated," he said, he hold her hand softly.

Jennie feels his warmness, the same warmness that she missed for so long, she hold it back. Holding someone hand is never be so right like holding his hand. They walked to the quitter place.

"That was so crowded," Roseanno said.

"Everything is changing Roseanno. It's confusing me."

"Not everything. Let me show you, it's not far," Roseanno leads their way.

"Do you remember it?" they stopped in a small ice cream stall.

Roseanno stared at her, smiling.

That was summer time a long time ago, Jennie was mad with Roseanno. He said he will pick her up at 3 p.m. in rodeo drive, but he was late. He arrived at 4 p.m., Jennie waited for him to come, there was no place to sit, so she stood up for one hour.

"I'm sorry, J. My client was late and the meeting goes longer than I thought," Roseanno told her, he run to her.

Jennie just pouted her lips, didn't answer him.

"J, forgive me, please?" Roseanno pleaded.

"I'm standing here for one hour! And you just said sorry? I'm tired Rosie. Why don't you call me and tell me to go home by myself. If you don't want to pick me, you don't need to do it!"
