Unconditional

Chapter 3: Brunch

Iona woke up at half past seven. She climbed out of bed, tied her hair in a pony tail and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that, she made her way downstairs to the kitchen and found her brother making coffee.

'Good morning.' She greeted him.

'Good morning, little sis. You're up early.' He smiled, 'Coffee?' He asked.

'No, thanks. I'll just have a glass of OJ.' She made her way to the cupboard and got a glass and took the OJ out of the fridge and poured her some.

'Any plans today?' Nikko asked.

'Uhm..' She put the bottle back in the fridge and sat on the breakfast counter. 'A friend is picking me up at nine.' She blushed.

'Who is this friend? Do I know this friend?' Nikko went on big brother mode.

'Nikko, relax. I don't think you know him. It's the guy I met yesterday at the restaurant.' She bowed her head and blushed more.

'Yzbelle Iona Anca Yuel, you do not know this guy and you are going out somewhere with him?'

'Yes, and this is me trying to make a friend here.' She giggled.

'Invite him over for dinner. I want to meet him.' He smirked.

'I'll ask but I'm pretty sure he won't come over.' She finished her juice and headed back to her room.

Iona finished some last minute paper work for her new job and by the time she got done, it was already eight fifteen. She got ready and headed downstairs to wait.

'Do you have everything? Phone? House keys? Pepper spray?' Nikko teased.

'Your house doesn't use keys. My phone is right here and wallet in phone case.' She smiled. A few minutes later there was a car honking from outside.

'Have fun Yona!! Don't get kidnapped.' Nikko yelled after her making sure that her friend hears it.

Seb was standing outside of his car and smiled as she approached him. 'Good morning.' He smiled.

'Good morning.' She gave him a little hug and he kissed her forehead. He opened the door for her and off they went to a cafe.

'How was your sleep?' He asked.

'It was great. It was a better night's sleep than the other night.' She sighed.

'I'm not gonna ask.' He smiled.

'So where are you taking me?'

'There's this cafe about five blocks down from the restaurant we met, they just opened last week and I want to try it.'

'Awesome. I love trying out new places.'

They drove in silence and got to the cafe fifteen minutes later. He grabbed a hat from the back and wore it before getting out and getting the door for her.

'What's with the hat?' She teased.

'I just don't want to make a fuzz.' He laughed and lead the way to the cafe.

They got seated and they were looking at the menu when a little girl approached them.

'Uhmmm... Excuse me, can you...' the little girl looked at Iona. 'Can I get your autograph please.' The little girl handed him a small notebook and Seb grabbed it and signed it. 'Thank you.' The little girl ran back to her table giggling.

'What was that about?' Iona asked. 'Are you some kind of a hot shot around here?' She teased.

'You really don't know me?' He smiled.
