3-Minute Passion (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 19

Am I seeing this for real?! Is that a limousine? Oh my God!

"I told you I have a surprise for you." I turned to face Nick. His smile is as bright as the sun.

I don't know what to do. I jump to hug him. This is the sweetest thing someone could do to me. This is like what happened to my favorite movie, The Fault In Our Stars, where Augustus came to pick up the Lancasters with a limousine except we don't have terminal cancer like them.

"Wow! This is... This is just so amazing!"

"Thank goodness you like it..." He places his hand on my shoulder. I hug him again to thank him.

"Ofcourse! I've never been in a limousine before... It's actually on my bucketlist that's why I'm so hype about it."

He leads the way to the limou where the driver pop his head out the window.

"Pleasure to be serving you today, sir. The champagne you reserved is inside." The driver has a thick British accent. He's in his mid 30's, I can tell by how he's covered with facial hair. I'm a little embarass by how I look. He looks so formal with his black tux and black bow tie.

Shit. This is starting to get a little too romantic. We're going to a ball in a limousine while drinking champagne? I don't want to put malice in his kindness, but knowing that he likes me, I can't help it.

We get in the car and a bottle of champagne inside a gray bucket rests on the leathery chair. He takes the bottle and pours it in two wine glasses that's hanging on the cealing of the car as we take our seats.

"Comfy?" His eyes gaze on my face.

I nod my head still adjusting to the spacious room of the car. He grabs an ITouch connected to the speakers and runs his finger to a playlist. Oh my God. It's Ed Sheeran's Photograph. Does he also like this song?

"So.. You're a fan of Ed too." I take the wine glass from him raising a brow.

"Nope." He takes a sip and shakes his head.

"Then why're you playing that song?" I give him a confused look.

"Nicole said you love his songs, so I downloaded a bunch of his song last night. He's pretty good, if I may add." He winks.

Wait. What else did he ask Nicole? I hope not everything, but I need to find out.

"I guess you already know everything about me then?" He pours me another round. The taste of the champagne is wonderful. It's not too sweet. I wonder how much it costs.

He gives me a half smile.

He starts to share the things he asked Nicole. They were not too personal so I don't really mind. My life is an open book. It's better for people to understand when they know.

He says that we both like The Fault in Our Stars and that's where he got the idea of the limousine. He shares his favorite part of the movie and agrees with me that even if there are parts from the book that wasn't put in the movie, we still think that it gave justice to the book.

"And, oh, d'you remember the part when they're trying to sell the swingset and called it a bunch of names? That part is hilarious!" I'm beginning to sound too ecstatic.

He laughs.

"Yeah, I remember that part..." He wipes a tear from his eye.

I drink the last remaining champagne from my glass. What's taking us so long to reach school? It's not more than a ten-minute drive. I turn to face the window. Maybe the driver is lost.
