So I'm here at the address where we will meet. It's actually a fancy restaurant and it's near in my condo. I'm looking at my watch and he's almost late.

I have to calm down, I don't want to ruin my make up.

I was already sitting down and looking around.

Then after a few minutes a man approached me and I was I lil bit disappointed.

He was not the man that Mica was describing to me.

Okay he's a lil bit fat and ugly?

I'm just telling the truth.

"Hi did you wait for so long?"

No this isn't him! I'm not convinced.

"Excuse me? I think you sat in a wrong table."

I said but he shook his head.

"No, I'm his assistant and you must be Irish?"

My jaw dropped.

"W-what? Where's he?"

I'm getting pissed off right now!

"Sir couldn't make it ma'am so he give me an order to tell you about it."

I blow some air

Damn!

I raised my eyebrows.

"Tell him that I'm disappointed and I'm not going to meet him again."

The guy looks panicked in his sit.

"Ma'am he was sorry."

I roll my eyes and I remember that I didn't know his name yet.

"What's his name?"

He was suddenly freeze and checking his phone.

"Ma'am he told me that you better not to know his name."

I laughed. Oh my gosh I can't believe this guy is tricking me! What the hell!

"So he was just playing with me?"

He couldn't answer me and check his phone.

"Fine, I'm done here!"

I said as I stand up and going to leave.

"Wait ma'am!"

He calls me but I continue to walk.

Damn! This was the worst day ever!

I bumped with someone and I almost fell but he caught my waist and my eyes widened.

My world stops

We are staring to each other.

I hear my heart beating so loud.

I pushed him when I realized this isn't right.

"What are you doing here?"

He frowned.

"I'm going to meet someone, how about you?"

I roll my eyes.

He stare at me from head to toe.

"Looks like your date didn't show up."

He added and trying to annoy me.

"It's none of your business jerk!"

He laughed.

"You wanna date me?"

I was surprised by that.

"Excuse me?"

Red changed his expression when he realized something.

"I mean look, you dressed up so well and maybe we can also talk about the project?"

He just wants to tease me.

"I thought you were going to meet someone."

He crossed his arms.

"It's okay, I'll just texts him he's not even important."

I was hesitating if I'll go with him.

"So let's go, you must be hungry."

If I say yes then this is the first time that I trust him.

"Okay."

I simply answer.

———————

It feels so awkward, eating a dinner with him. Like we didn't used to look like this. We're never closed to each other and he was always mad at me five years ago.

"So you told me that you like someone, was he your date?"

He ask as if we're good to each other.

"I hope so, but he didn't show up."

I saw the corner of his lips smiling.

Weird?

"Where did you met him."

I stopped taking a bite.

"You don't need to know."

I said.

"Irish.. can we be civil to each other?"

I was silent in a minute.

"I-I want to be nice with you for real."

My jaw dropped.

Is he faking this?

"Sometimes people change when they realize that they were just wasting time to argue with someone."

I can't believe that I'm seeing a new version of him.

"Speechless?"

I look away

"Don't worry I will give you some time to think about it."

I just nodded.

I'm not ready for this and my mind was suddenly empty.
