♣️ Chapter Nine♣️
I wasn't sure if the guys just planned it to happen in sequences as a form of mockery or it was just my bad luck. Either way changing cities didn't change it either. I blinked away my tears and came back to reality.
I found Aundrei looking at me in concern
"You zoned out??"
"Yeah....." What am I going to say now??
"It's okay. Are you ready to order"
"Yeah. Sure. Why not??" I breathed out
He chuckled and recalled the waiter
Before he returned we focused on our phones then when the plates arrived we put them away.

Aundrei's POV
When the dishes of egg fried rice and soda arrived we immediately dug in. After a while I decided to speak while focusing on my food tho.
"I'm doing this for my mom." She looked at me and paused eating "You??" I asked
"My parents"
I nodded then she added
"Honestly I don't think this is ever going to work you are way different from me"
Now this was new. A lady trying to disband an alliance with me. Well its not like I was interested so I broke the silence
"Trust me marriage is the last thing on my list but I'm just doing this for my mother so I hope you understand"
"Ok and what if I love someone else??"
I smirked and relaxed in my seat alarming her
"Do you??"
"W-w-e-h- what??"
"Do you love someone already??"
"What?? No but I'm asking what if I do??"
"I thought badass girls don't fall in love"
"Aundrei don't tempt me"
"Well I can't help it if I'm naturally tempting you know"
She spat out her soda and I had to laugh at that. Thank God celebrities like us have dates in places like this with no paparazzi if not hehehe. Her face would've made the headlines and I would have commented 'Nice' right under that post unanimously. Anyways for now I snuck a pic.
When she seemed to have recovered from that embarrassment she spoke
"If any of us fall in love or get tired of each other during these 3 months before the wedding we should let each other know and figure something out"
I continued eating pretending to ignore her as I thought on what she said
"Agreed"
She nodded and I continued
"I also hope that both of us are mature enough to know how to handle our parents in all of this" she nodded
"Good" I resumed eating
"By the way Good luck with falling in love ah mean look at you. You're a mess"
"A hot mess" I added
She shook her head and finished her soda in one go
"Whatever" then she sashayed past me leaving "see ya nevurrrrrr"
I laughed and stared at her leaving
This would be interesting no doubt but I don't think Leilani was the One.

Leilani's POV
I watched as he called the waiter and handled the bill before leaving.
Aundrei Xelani hmmmm we'll see
He's definitely something though but I wasn't sure if he was the One.
Nahhh..... Why do I even care. All men are the same. I'm living proof of that!
I opened the glass door and walked away.

"Jessie I dunno about him. He seems intriguing but no it's definitely not him"
"Well Lei whatever have you..."
"No Jessie Ipha is not here. This is not his home you know"
"Yeah yeah buh I got dressed up"
"On Jessie buh can you refocus on my predicament??"
"Right" she said grabbing a pack of cheese balls
I stopped brushing my hair and turned from the mirror
"You do realise that that's an all white bedsheet right??"
"Too late" Lo and behold cheese was everywhere on my bed
I sighed and turned back to the mirror pretending I didn't see anything. More work for the maids I guess.
"So yeah Enrique right??"
"No Aundrei"
"Oh Aundrei....." She said in thought "So no more Enrique??"
I turned and sat on the bed
"I dunno."
"You should find him"
"Jessie I'm about to get married!"
"So is Jessica and she's still hanging out with Hank."
"I'm not your icky twin sis Jessie"
"Point is maybe you're right to give him some space but make sure to reconnect as soon as you can ok??"
"Ok...." I drawled out in thought.
Next thing I knew she was off my bed going downstairs to get some chicken. Sometimes I wonder if she's always pregnant. But nah it just seemed Ipha came back here early.
I sighed and got back to arranging my room. Funny how few days ago I was screaming "Men are scum" from the rooftops and now few days later I can't seem to decide between 2 guys that aren't even that interested in me. I sighed and slumped my shoulders.

Aundrei's POV
After the date and it's aftermaths I took a relaxing soak at home to calm my mind from all the stress. While I was in the process of going to bed my phone came to life with my ringtone Rhemzy K.O (Game over). Don't judge me that's a smooth vibe right there.
Anyways it was 'Her' calling and by 'Her' I meant Victoria Princewill my ride or die. We've known each other for more than 10 years and it's been good so far and I don't plan on ever dumping her. Like ever!
"Vic"
"Toria Victoria yeesh"
"Sorry Victoria"
"Better"
I chuckled "How're you??"
"Well Drei you know work and all buh I'm here now so...."
"Understandable. Buh it's funny how you get to call me Drei but I don't get to call you Vic now that's.... weird"
"It's not weird it's called girl rights"
"Right...."
"Listen Drei I know you're tired so I'll make this quick. I'll be popping by in a few months is it ok if I stay at yours??"
