Tho I don't feel like going to this party but here I am carrying a bag of pudding and walking with my family towards my aunt's house. I was faking a smile actually because like I said I have no mood for party.
As I got there, there was like lots of people sitting outside, there's a barbeque and tables of food. My parents were meeting the relatives and I went to put the pudding in a box near the barbeque place.
Just as I was opening the box, a guy was helping me.
"Hey, have I seen you around before?" He said and that startle me. I was not going to answer that but luckily I was thought about manners.
So I said " no" . And just focus on putting the puddings hoping he would understand that I am not in the mood of talking, but then I was wrong because he continued.
"So, Im Drake, what's your name?"
Again,manners. Looking at the pudding and not at his face, I answered it.
"Oh its Katherine"
I smile and walk to upstairs.
I went upstairs and sit. To be truth, I was thinking about him, I mean don't get Me wrong, I was just thinking about who is he and why did he talk to me. Funny I know.
My cousin was calling the people to go down because we can start eating already. I went down and sit with my grandma. My mum tell me to eat and I followed her to take food.
Foods are all delicious, somehow I would regret if I didn't come. I finished choosing the food and went back to sit near my grandma.
Later then, I was sitting with a box of juice and watching people laughing, chatting and eating. A women came to sit in front of my grandma and they started talking, my grandma introduced me to that women and I just hi her. They continued and the guy from earlier came and the women introduced him and said that the guy is his son. I was shocked but manage to control my expression.
They talk and talk and suddenly to women got up and came to me patting my shoulders, she said to his son.
"This is her Granddaughter" and I was speechless and just faking a smile.
That night I was super bored and decided to go downstairs where all the people are, technically downstairs are for the middle age and parents while upstairs controlled by teenagers. But not much of a teenagers, just my bro and other cousin.
I went down and scan through. Saw my parents talking with relatives, grandmother sitting with one of my cousin named Rani. And also interesting, I saw the guy, Drake was Barbecuing. So I decided to go there and have a little chat.
Well I don't know how to start the conversation and I just stand there about 5second and then an uncle which I believe to be his dad was asking him to teach me how to do the barbeque.
"Drake, teach that lady how to do it" I shyly said no its okay I've done this a lot and just smile.
I was talking to Drake, in intention of getting rid of my boredom and being friendly. We talked and talk until I got bored and went back upstairs.
At about 10.30pm, my cousin Rani told me to accompany her send my grandma back to her house which is not far but the road was dark with no street lights. I put on my slippers and followed her.
While we were walking, Rani's sister called us and I turned around and saw her with Drake. We all stop and her sister told Rani to continue walking and told me to stay. Then, i stayed and suddenly Rani's sister also went back leaving me alone with Drake.
I was so shocked and speechless because they leave us together in the middle of the road that are dark and creepy. What the hell I screamed in my head. And then Drake was pulling out his phone and asking me like this.
"What's your name again, sorry I didn't catch it up just now"
"Oh its Katherine but you can call me kate for short" I replied him and still standing speechlessly. And then he hand me his phone asking for my number. I was beyond speechless because I finally got it, the reason why we were left here in the middle of the road. I don't know if I jump into conclusion too fast or what but this guy over here was hitting on me.
I don't want to give my number actually, but if he insisted I would asked for his number and save it in front of him and delete it later but his phone was in my hand and my phone is also in my hand and I was out of my mind and I...... gave him my number.
