Love Me

Chapter Eight: Destiny

Becky's POV

"Marry me, Ms. Chankimha." I said looking straight to her eyes.

I can't believe that I already saw the girl I had been looking for almost sixteen years. The girl who saved me before.

After all these years, Richie knows about Freen but didn't tell me.

I need to talk to him.

"Do you really know what are you saying, Ms. Armstrong?" Freen said, eyes widen.

"Yes I am." I answered her. "We can try. If it works, then it's good, but if it's not, at least we try. And our families will be glad also when we told them that we are together."

She shook her head.

"It's not just that simple Ms. Armstrong." She says.

You can see the seriousness of her face.

"What if I told you that I want to be Mrs. Chankimha not because of that agreement. I want to be Mrs. Chankimha because I think I like you the first time I saw you."

She immediately looked at me.

We are now at the parking area of our condominium.

"What did you say Ms. Armstrong? are you fucking serious?"

"Don't curse, Ms. Chankimha." I said to her. I was about to open the door of her car when she immediately grabbed me by the wrist.

"Don't you play with me young Ms." She looked hot when she was on her serious face. "Do you really want us to fulfill that agreement ?"

"I already told you, I want you to marry me."

She is still holding my arm while staring at me.

I can't read any emotion in her eyes.

"No. I don't want to marry you." She said after a long silence. Then, let go of my hand.

"Why not?" I boldly asked her. "Do you already have someone special?"

She shook her head. "I don't have time to look for someone right now. But if you're going to ask why I don't want to marry you, it's simply because we didn't even know each other. Yes, our family is quite close but we both know that if we jump immediately on getting married, there will be so many complications that even our family will affect in the future." She deeply sighs. "I don't want to ruin the friendship of our family Ms. Armstrong."

"Then, let's get to know each other first." I suggested.

Yes, I may look desperate, but I won't let her go again. I don't want to lose the person I waited for a long time.

"Are you really this stubborn Ms. Armstrong?"

"You can call me Becky. Ms. Armstrong is a little bit annoying." I said, rolling my eyes at her.

I saw her smirk.

"Then, let's start dating. Let's see if things will work out." She said.

She got out of the car and ran to the passenger side.

She opened the door for me.

Is this how she act normally or because she said yes for the dating stage ?

I heard her chuckled.

"What ?" I asked.

"If you just see your face right now, your blushing Ms- I mean Becky." She said smiling.

I was about to say something but her phone rang. She immediately looked at it and smiled wide when she saw who the caller is.

"Hey babe! Why ? Do you need something?"

Babe ?

Who's that ?

She said, she doesn't have time for love. Then, who the hell is that ?

"Yeah, don't worry. Just send me the invitation, okay?"

Her smile never leaves her face.

"Okay, okay ! see you on Friday. Take care. You should rest more. I will check on you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Who's that ?"

I asked after she ended the call. I feel irritated all of a sudden.

"One of my patients and also, a good friend. She's inviting me to her birthday party."

"I thought you were on leave? How come your patients can call you?" I said while pouting.

She just stare at me.

"Are you jealous ? You're so cute when you are jealous. We're not even yet dating but you're already jealous. what more if we're already dating ?"

"Who told you I'm jealous-"

"I let you meet her. She's a good friend of mine. Don't worry 'cause I will introduce you as my girlfriend." She said and wink at me.

I blushed hard when she says that.

"Not need to introduce me as your girlfriend." I said. But deep inside, I really wanted the idea. I don't want someone to assume that they have a chance to date her.

'Freen is only mine. Mine alone.'

"She need to know. Actually, I think she likes me." She said. "The way she treated me, I think she cares-"

"And you like the idea of her liking you?" I said glaring at her.

She laughed out loud. I really don't know what is in head of this woman.

"I'm just joking! I just want to see your reaction!"

"You-"

I was about to say something when my phone rings. I look at the screen and check who the caller might be.

'It was Irinn'

I immediately tap the answer button.

"Where are you? I'm here outside your condo." Irinn said on the other line.

"I'm coming, I'm here at the parking. Wait for me for a minute." I answered before I ended up the call.

I look at Freen. She's also looking at me.

"My friend is upstairs, she's waiting for me outside my condo." I informed her.

"Oh. So, let's go. Don't make your friend wait longer, Babe." She said.

'Babe'

She called me 'Babe' just like the girl who called her a while ago.

"Don't use that endearment of me. I hate it."

"Then, what do you want me to call you ? baby ? honey ? dear ? sweetheart?"

"Your impossible Ms. Sarocha!" I said rolling my eyes on her.

"Yes I am, Ms. Armstrong. So, let's go now? your friend is waiting." She said, smiling widely.

She hold my hand and we walk side by side.

I can help my self but smile. Who would have thought that the girl I'm looking for a long time is also the girl I have a crush on.

Maybe, It's destiny.
