CHAPTER 14

Kalila

It's true that I agreed on going on a date with him. But not because I gave in, because I wanna mess with him. I thought crashing his two bikes were enough to snap him out but I was wrong.

If he thinks that he can play with me easily because he has a pretty face and a full bank account, then he's totally wrong.

After Nicolas finally left, I sat down on the seat infront of Jay. He's quite well dressed today, a black smoking. I slightly look around the fancy restaurant but besides us, there was no one anymore.

He probably bought it for the night, how romantic.

"So, I prepared your favorite meal. I heard you telling Lilith that it's steak with rice and salad? It's already done", Jay says in a warm tone and in this moment, a waiter puts the meal in front of me.

After the waiter went back to the kitchen to get Jay's meal, Jay interestingly looked at me.

"Why aren't you eating anything? Is something wrong with the food?", he raises one of his eyebrows.

I shake my head and make a grimace while sighing. "It's just that I can't look at this dead animal, you know? I used to have a hamster and it just breaks my heart.."

I pretend to be sad while playing with my short dress he bought me days ago. I kinda like it.

Jay just nods before letting the waiter take my meal again. "You're vegan?", he confusingly asks. I look up and slowly nod.

Oh fuck. I ate in McDonalds just yesterday and he saw me through the windows. I widen my eyes as I remember what happend.

"I'm vegan since.. today! Believe me, I-", I try to explain myself but he interrupts me.

"I do believe you, Kalila", Jay's voice sounds calm and I slowly relax myself.

The waiter came back after removing the steak and places it infront of me. "Here you go, rice with just salad. Bon appétit", he was about to go but I stop him.

"Are these tomato's? I can't eat them, I have a bad allergy. Could you maybe.. remove them?", I friendly smile at him. He looks like he's just a few years older than me, a few freckles, dark hazelnut eyes, curly brown hair and dimples.

Absolutely not my type, but tonight I could try something different out. "Oh and maybe remove the salad too, I don't really like this one."

After he came back with just the rice I genuinely smile at him before thanking him.

"Thanks alot..", I try to read his name tag on his shirt, "..Thiago? Are you from brazil?"

I could feel Jay's eyes on me but I purposely keep ignoring him. Thiago slowly grins at me before answering:"Yeah, actually my grandfather is from brazil, my mom is from france. Have you been to brazil before?"

I shake my head. "Not yet, but I wanna go there. Maybe you can take me with you next time. Show me the city, the views..", I look at him with big eyes.

"Yeah sure, can I have your number? To text you, of course", he winks at me. I was about to search for my phone, but Jay clears his throat loudly.

"Excuse me, Thiago, but I think the cook needs help. Don't you think?"

Thiago immediately nods before saying:"Of course, Mr. Harrington. Have a good meal." And he walks off like nothing happend.

I annoyingly turn myself to Jay. "You didn't had to shoo him away. You're not his boss", I roll my eyes at him.

Jay chuckles for a moment before saying:"You're right, I'm not his boss. But my dad is."

My face turns bright red but he speaks:"Are you sure you want to just eat rice?", his voice sounds concerned.

"Of course", I say. As I begann to eat, another waiter comes in and places some drinks infront of us and went back.

The red liquid looks unfamiliar to me and Jay noticed my questioning face. "Don't worry, it's not alcohol. It's a new drink from Mr and Mrs Ly. They have many famous restaurants here. My dad and his dad are good friends."

I know Mr and Mrs Ly. They run a chain of famous restaurants in this city, who doesnt know them? Their son is also famous for his great cooking skills, who was he again?

I can't remember the name, so I ask:"They also have two children, right? His name was..?"

"Kaan. He is an only child", he changes the subject, "Do you wanna try it?"

I nod and tasted it. Fuck yes, its actually delicious. I don't know how to really describe this, but it somehow tastes wealthy and sweet. A bit of vanilla.

Jay stares at my lips before clearing his throat. "What do you think?"

God, I think Kaan's parents are geniuses.

"It's perfect", I say as I took a sip out of it. Jay was about to say something, but I accidentely spilled my glass on his expensive clothes.

Of course it wasn't an accident. I once saw someone spilling water on Jay and he lost his patience. Jay was so mad that the someone's parents lost their job on the same day.

It's just cruel, and the same Jay tries to win me over with some flowers and fancy dates.

I wait for him shouting, looking pissed, loosing his patience, anything but nothing happend. Instead, he raises his hand and I clench my eyes shut.

But all I could feel was his soft palm on my chin, lifting it up before carefully wiping something on my bottom lip away. Totally ignoring the mess on his clothes.

"You spilled something on your face. Let me help you clean up."
