Mom and I planned to go shopping today since we don't have any classes today again (they told us we will won't be having classes frequently this week to give us more time to review for the upcoming quiz week) and we have a different definition when we say we will go shopping. We will go to the mall not to buy accessories or stuffs like that but instead, will go buy some useful house wares or appliances. But being a woman ourselves, we sometimes still bought dresses or shoes or purse..... sneakers is my choice (I don't like heels that's why I hate attending formal occasions... Don't judge me)
This way, I can forget the awkward happenings between us... At least a little bit. I already told mom what happened and as expected, she became really worried which I always avoid to happen but I still decided to tell her
My mom was about to start the engine when my phone rang
Nick, (We exchanged numbers yesterday when we were together)
Hey nick what's up?
Are you free today?
Yup! Actually mom and I planned to go shopping today and were about to leave on our way to the mall
Can I come?
I paused for a bit and looked at mom and she quickly understood what I wanna say. She nodded telling me that it's okay
Sure why not
I will bring my car then
.. ... ...
After few minutes, Nick showed up with his car
"Good morning Mam, Let me be the driver"
"Cut the Mam calling, just call me Denise or Aunt"
Mom never liked being called that way
"Okay Mam, I mean Aunt!"
He offered
Dang! I can still feel nostalgic, I totally miss him. I find it unusual that Ace isn't with us but Nicolo instead
A guy escorting a friend and her mother, it sounds like he is courting me. But I'm not the type of person making any advance assumptions and besides, this already happened always before. I don't want to end up doing the same mistake again, I don't want to lose any of my friends again, not anymore.
"Such a gentleman but sorry Nicolo, I'll drive my car. But you lnow what? You should ride with him sweetie"
I don't see any problem with that so that settles it
He even opened the door for me. Unlike my best friend................ ugh! I remembered him again
"Nick?"
"hey what's up"
We're now on our way to the mall and just talking about random things. I find it comfortable talking with him, I feel secured and treasured. Secured that we're not crossing any lines and at the same time, I feel treasured, treasured because I can feel that someone is there just listening to me and vice versa
"Thank you for coming"
"Silly, I was the one who insisted to join you"
"I mean, thanks for your company"
