Blame It On Fate

CHAPTER 22

"Hey Cole." I went to his room, the door was surprisingly open.

"Hey, wassup?" He asked signalling me to come inside.

"The thing is we'll uhh we'll have to reschedule our date." I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Nick called, I have to meet him." I said.

"Who the hell is Nick?" He asked.

Yeah right, I forgot he doesn't know it.

"Nick is my brother, you know elder one." I said

"Oh, so this Nick guy is actually your brother or are you just beating the bush?"

"Cole, are we seriously doing this?"

"Yes we are. You were reluctant to even get into this relationship what is the possibility you're just making excuses?"

"Cole! I'm sorry if I have to prioritise my family over some date."

"So it's just some date for you?"

I sigh loudly, this is too much.

"No, it means a lot for me, this date means a lot for me but I swear on whoever you want me to, that it's really important for me to meet my brother today." I said.

"Fine, so make it upto me tomorrow?" He asked.

"Sure." I smiled at him.

It was already 3 PM and I was running late. I quickly went to my walk in closet wore a red sweater, black jeans and a oversized black blazer.

I took my SUV and headed towards the texted location, it wasn't the Miranda's café this time, it was a 5 star hotel and it was so pretty, elegant well cozy is more my time. I literally don't like luxury places you always have to be too formal.

"Good evening ma'am how may I help you?" The receptionist asked me.

"Good evening um.. is there a reservation under the name of Nicholas Diaz?" I asked.

"Ma'am, it's funny cause no one really knows who he is." She awkwardly laughed.

"Yeah, I know I was just kidding actually I'm not sure about the name could I just make one call?" I requested her.

"Sure." She smiled politely.

Then I called Nicholas.

"Hello." He answered.

"Under what name is the booking?" I asked.

"Oh it's under Nicholas, just Nicholas." He said.

"Alright." I said and was about to hang up.

"You didn't ask them if the booking was under Nicholas Diaz did you?"

"Yeah I'll see you at the table." I said and hung up.

I didn't ask for reservations under Nicholas Diaz, did I? I don't remember if I did.

"Um Hi, actually the reservation is under the name of Nicholas, just Nicholas." I told her.

"Oh, I should've guessed, anyways I'll lead you to the table ma'am, right this way please." She smiled. Why does she smile so much? I know it's professionally kind. Whatever though.

"Here." She led me to a table where Nick was seated.

"I'll take my leave." The receptionist said.

"Sure love." Nicholas said and she blushed.

I rolled my eyes, boys honestly.

"So why did you wanted to meet suddenly?" I asked him.

"Well I'm coming to that, have a bit of patience please." He said and opened the menu.
