I thought hard for what I was going to wear to Wrens house. I decided to wear something nice yet casual so I could catch her eye. Step Number 1: Dress nicely. Be Mr. Casual Handsome
I was going to Wrens house at 9:36am. Why? Because I promised to be there at 10am sharp. Her house was pretty near to mine so I walked. My heartbeat was slowly rising and I could hear it from all the silence. I guess I'm nervous... But why? Hmm...
I thought of reasons why I would be nervous and before I knew it I was already at her house. I checked the time on my watch on saw it was 9:57am. Just in time... I contemplated if I should ring the bell and thought over and over. I shook my head and just rang the bell once.
I waited for a bit and heard a few steps coming closer. My heart sped up more and I tried calming it down. Ugh. "Oh Hi Marco." I looked at her and saw how dressed up she was. She wore (Choose which outfit you want her to wear from the photo ((honestly I can't choose xD))) and a braided side ponytail. It suited her beautifully and I stood there gaping at her.
She looked at me and I finally found the right words to say. "Y-You look nice." I tried my best not to blush in front of her. She.. She looked so pretty. "Uh thanks. My mom wanted me to wear something nice other than what I usually wear." She sighed and I chuckled a bit. After she said her goodbye to her mom we left to the store.
Step Number 2: Be Mr. Knowledgeable
We were at the electronics store and I knew I had to test out my technology skills. I lead her to the phone section and told her about the new models. "This is the newest model of the Apple stores IPhone. The IPhone6 has a lot of new functions and has a bigger screen other than the other-" Although I was explaining to her the functions and how to use a phone she went on to buying a flip phone instead.Geez doesn't she know that flip phones are a bit outdated in this century? But I couldn't say that to her. It's her choice after all. She took the cheapest flip phone which didn't have a lot of functions on them, but it was fine for her. I decided to take out Step Number 3: Be Mr. Generous
We were almost to the cashier and she was getting out her wallet from her purse, but I took mine out faster. "Wren, just leave it to me. I'll buy it for you." I told her with a small smirk. She looked at me and shook her head still trying to take out her wallet. "I am the one who suggested to buy a phone and this one doesn't cost that much..."
I looked back at her giving her a small smile but I was met with a glare. As I saw it I felt a chill crawl up my spine. "I said no didn't I? And it's my phone. I'll buy it instead is that clear?" She told me still giving me that glare. I gave up on trying and agreed to her decision.
-_-_-_-
We were at a restaurant and I had just ordered our food. Wren had taken out the box for the phone and was currently reading the manual. I looked over and it was a pretty thick manual for such a cheap phone. I was bored and decided to make some chit-chat with Wren.
"Wren." She looked at me and put the manual down, giving me her full attention. "You want your mom to live a better life right?" I recalled the time she told me about her mom in elementary school. She answered me with a simple 'Yeah.' I nodded and asked her something which just came to my mind. "So have you ever thought of marrying someone rich? Or has enough money to be able to support you?"
She looked at me with a confused face and I felt a bit embarrassed. Wait... Aren't I rich? "Ah! I-I don't mean myself of course!!!" I told her trying not to raise any suspicion to my plan. She shook her head and gave a firm 'Absolutely not.' I looked at her, surprised by her answer. Usually girls would love to marry a rich guy.
"My goal is not money." She said all of a sudden. "I.. want to repay mom by my own power. It would be meaningless if I did not realize that myself." She said it so powerfully I felt like I was sucked in. She really isn't easy to get isn't she? "Haha you are the Iron Daughter aren't you." She didn't laugh and just went back to reading the manual. At that time our food also came and we were able to eat. We ate with a comfortable silence between us.
But if she did fall in love, it must have nothing to do with family. Appearance or something she only likes him because she likes him.
He would be such a lucky guy... Wait what am I thinking about?!! I don't want Wren to like me! Well I do but only to dump her at the end.
-_-_-_-
Once the meal was over we were on our way to our homes. Since I am such a gentleman I decided to walk her home first. She didn't mind and let me walk her home without difficulty. As we walked I saw her still have a bit of difficulty with her new phone. "So can you use your phone now?" I decided to ask to break this silence between us.
"I kind of get it... I'm not really used to these kind of things yet." I was a bit surprised but shrugged it off. "Here. I'll help you save my number. When you can, send me a message alright?" She nodded and took the phone back. I haven't used a flip phone in a while. I love the sound it makes when it flips. (A/N: Flip phones are fun)
-_-_-_-
I was finally home after a long day. I waited for her message and checked my phone each time. I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth until I heard a ring from my phone. Immediately I ran to check who it was from.
Random Number:
There. This is Wren. I sent a message... Goodnight Marco.As soon as I saw the message my heart beat faster than I could've imagined. I felt hot on my face and noticed I was blushing. I couldn't be blushing.. could I? Argh! I threw my phone on my bed and tried calming my heart down. I was not gaining feelings for Wren. She's my enemy. I couldn't do that!
