I love u and me

Chapter 3

Kate Pov

It was Friday, which means my and Y/n's schedules are kind of free. It was our lunch break and I just randomly asked Y/n to treat me which she easily agreed to. Not to brag but my best friend here has a golden heart when it comes to treating someone. We planned to go to a nearby restaurant to have our lunch. The staffs greeted us and we ordered our food. I noticed that the waiter's eyes were glued to Y/n's face. I cleared my throat,

"Ahem....Y/n/n, are u done ordering?"

Y/n looked at me and said, "Oh yes, I was just selecting my mocktail and I think I am gonna go with Blue Lagoon."

The waiter came back to his senses and asked, "Anything else Ma'am?"

"No. We will let u know if we need anything", I said, gaining his attention.

"Okay I will serve your orders in 10 minutes. Please make yourselves comfortable gorgeous ladies." Ok, now I am cringed. He said the entire thing looking at Y/n as if he was intending it towards her. However, Y/n being Y/n didn't even smile at him. She maintained her serious expression.

"Y/n/n, u should at least smile if someone compliments you" I rolled my eyes.

"Kate, you know it very well that I don't like to give fake smiles and there was nothing to smile about his compliment. He is just doing his job by saying those words in order to flutter the customers' hearts. He just wants to get some good reviews and tips from us."

Here comes Y/n and her logic. I said in my thoughts.

"Hey, not everyone is like that. Some people can genuinely say good words."

"Genuineness doesn't exists in today's world, Kate."

"It does. It's just you who can't see that. Y/n, I am not saying u have to completely change yourself but at least try to acknowledge the people who wants to care for you. "

"I do acknowledge them"

"Yeah by maintaining a serious face", I said sarcastically.

"Y/n, I know u r not like this. This is just your outer covering which u have successfully built to make u look rigid but your inner self is still the same Y/n/n. Just give a chance to your old self, it will not be harmful , baby"

"Kate, that old self is long gone and if it comes back then it will cause my emotions to take control of me once again. I don't want to end up being hurt again due to any reason, be it my family or my career or my love life if it ever happens"

I sighed. The food also arrived and I thanked the waiter. Y/n was in her thoughts. I didn't want to bring up this topic right now but looking at Y/n being someone who she is not hurts me sometimes. I heard from her mom and saw many videos where she was very cheerful, bubbly and full of liveliness. She started to change since she was enrolled in college and I know the reason. She has just built this wall around her to protect her from all the emotional distress which can come to her.

"The food here is actually good", I said trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Yeah it surely is. I liked the taste of the grilled fish", she said while eating her favourite continental dish.

"Do u have any work to do after this?"

"I don't think so. I have already helped in one operation in the OT and I don't have any more appointments so I guess I am kind of free. What about you?"

"Uhm.... I also think that I am mostly free except for the two appointments I have."

We had our lunch talking about this and that. Y/n paid the bill and gave a good amount of tips to the waiter.

Y/n Pov

We were currently walking towards an ice cream store because Kate insisted on treating me my favorite ice cream as the desert. We sat on a table and Kate went to the counter to order our ice creams. I was looking around the store when I spotted a little boy sitting with a middle aged woman on another table. The boy was arguing with the woman for some reason. It seemed like the woman was having a tough time to pursue the boy about something.

"No, I won't have any other ice cream", the boy yelled, almost on the verge of tears.

Nothing new. Kids are stubborn most of the times and this one here is the practical example.

"I will tell to mommy and aunty that u didn't give my favourite ice cream", now the boy said while tears were rolling on his cheeks.

"Seems like someone didn't get their favourite ice cream", Kate said. She was holding two ice creams in her hand. The chocolate one was for me and the strawberry one was for her.

"Yeah, kids nowadays give tough times to their parents", I replied to her.

"He is cute though. But I wonder why isn't the woman giving him the flavor he wants?"

"Maybe the flavor he wants ran out of stock"

Kate nodded.

I was just about to have my ice cream when I heard him saying, "I want chocolate ice cream only otherwise I won't go with you"

"Kate, was this the last chocolate ice cream?"

"Yes, I think so. I didn't see any other tub of chocolate ice cream."

"Wait a minute". I walked towards the little boy's table.

"Hey, champ. Do u wanna have an ice cream?", I asked the sulking kid.

"I will have only chocolate flavor"

"His favourite flavor ran out of stock. So, I tried to convince him Miss but he refuses to accept it", the woman said politely.

"It's okay and who said that there is no more chocolate ice cream left?" I showed my ice cream to the boy, "Here, this one is for you."

The woman hesitated a bit and assured her that it was okay.

The kid's eyes sparkled and he happily took it from me.

"Thank you, angel", he flashed a smile.

"Angel? I am no angle champ"

"Yes u are. Mommy said that if I want something from my heart, God will send an angel to give it to me.", saying this he kissed my cheek.

I smiled at the kid's cuteness and innocence. The woman was also smiling. "Alright, enjoy your ice cream, champ."

I walked back to my table. Kate was smirking at me.

"What's with smirk?"

"Y/n Y/l/n, giving up her favourite chocolate ice cream for a stubborn kid. Wow that's new", Kate playfully wiggled her eyebrows.

"Shut up there's nothing new. Now go and bring me one vanilla ice cream."

"Ugh! Why me? Go and get it yourself."

"No Ms. Katherine Brown, you are the one treating me right? So it's your job not mine."

"Bitch", Kate cursed while going towards the counter.

"Language Kate. There are kids here" I smiled.

That evening

Someone's Pov

"The target is heading towards the position", someone said looking at the little boy walking with his nanny.

"Alright, make sure that the plan is successful. I have heard that he comes from a good family. Kidnapping him will bring us a good fortune."

"Don't worry, the street is empty and it's just a woman with him. We will have him at ease. On my count, just surround them so that they can't escape."

"Everyone follow the count."

"3.....2.....1......position!"

The little boy and the woman were surrounded by 5 men.

"Who are you guys?" the woman yelled.

"We are your nightmare."

The empty street was filled with evil laughter coming from those men.
