Hello dear readers✨
Sorry it took so long to update.
↫↫MIGUEL'S POV↬↬
We've been talking for a few weeks now; Akilina and I that is. At first I was shocked at how fast she found my page, but the faster she is, the easier my job is. We decided to go out for dinner later this evening, which gives me enough time to set everything in place. Oh I can't wait.
LATER THAT EVENING
I was seated at the table I reserved for I and Aki, ( that's what I call her) waiting for her to arrive, though I am a bit early.
Everything was perfect.
The ambiance was top-notch, the lighting, warm and romantic. The roses on the table were so red, you'd think they were dipped in blood. The Spanish songs playing in the background would compel you to sway whether you wanted to or not. The aroma that seeped through the kitchen, made my mouth water and my tommy grumble. There were countless couples around me, smiling and having a wonderful time; having Algo para picar', while they waited for their main course. To add to this beautiful scenery, it was raining; oh how I love the rain.
Sincerely, I wish I had a significant other i could experience all this with, but who am kidding.
Everything is fake.
The flowers are fake and the people are fake. They are all under cover and working with me. The only things that are a real, are the food, the music and the weather.
People can be fake but never food or weather. Wait. That's not true. everything be fake, including the weather. reminds me of that anime where there are children in a dome and at some point it rains but it's not real rain.
Where is this girl? I'm drowning in my thoughts again.
She walks in. right on que.
She spots me and walks over.
Gosh she's beautiful. Immediately she walked in, everyone stops and stare but she doesn't care. If someone told me she was a direct descendant of Aphrodite, I would totally believe.
Why'd she have to be a con artist ( I mentally facepalm).
"Oh my gosh. this place is so lovely and it has a nice aesthetic. The couples are cute too"
"Oh You'd wish" I mutter under my breath.
"Pardon?"
"Nothing. You are looking lovely" It's not a lie, though it hurts me to play her but she's doing the same thing so it doesn't hurt that much.
"Have you had anything?" she asks.
"Not yet I was waiting for you. Lets order something"
Dinner passes by slowly while we chat. I get to learn a lot about her; her favourite colour, music, animal, food, place for a holiday get away, and so on. the problem is I do not know if she's being genuine or lying. Well I'm also lying; after all I have to match the fake life Edward had crafted for me, though are some truths. We finally order some red wine and I think its time for me to move to the next stage of my plan - getting her to confess.
