The food is ready. I take the two plates and put it on top of the tray. While I was walking back to my seat and placing the tray on top of the table..
I heard Louriza said on the phone"um, I got to go..bye!"
I sat down and said
"who were you talking with?"
She replied, "um..my friend"
Louriza then smile at me.
She said, "oo fried seafood noddles.." while picking the plate up from the tray.
I pick up my plate then I put the tray away.
Louriza said
"how do you know I want to order this?"
I replied
"I remember you told me that fried seafood noodles is your favourite"
She replied
"yes, that is true..it is your favourite too, right?"
I replied, "yup"
Louriza smile at me, I smiled back.
She said
"wait..did you order drinks?"
I replied
"oh no! I forgot.."
I laugh and said, "let me go and...."
She said, "no no..let me go and order"
I replied
"okay then.."
She ask me
"what drinks would you like?"
Before I was going to answer her she said
"don't answer, I know.."
She giggles and get up from her seat.
I waited for her. She came back and said
"here is your favourite drink, ice lemon tea..and mine, orange juice"
I said, "thanks Lou.."
She replied, "welcome..come let's eat.
We both smile at each other and start eating.
In the middle of our meal. Louriza's phone rings. She look at her phone to see who is calling, she then rejected the call.
I ask her
"is that the same person who you were talking to just now?"
She answered, "yeah..it's the same person..why?"
I stay silent. We finished our meal. I ask Louriza
"so Lou..should we start from the bottom level then head up or the other way around..?"
She wants to answer my question but stop because her phone rings again. I was curious so I ask her
"if that's the same person, can you pick up the call and say don't call? Or you can just off your phone..?
She answered
"um..I can't do that..nevermind I'll just send a text"
I said
"are you done?"
She replied
"yeah, come let's go"
After I pay for the meal. We leave the restaurant and we look up to see where to go. We then look at the directory.
I said
"there are so many shops here..where do we start from?"
She replied
"I think we start from the first floor"
I replied
"um..okay"
Me and Louriza go to one shop and another. I tried so many different clothes. But still haven't found which suits me. We then head to the second and third floor. Still haven't found what I like. We then head to the fourth floor, the last floor of the building.
I said
"it's the fourth floor already and I still haven't found what I like, ugh so frustrating"
She replied
"relax, you will find what you like..come on, let's try this shop"
We went in the shop, while we were looking around and I was about to ask her suggestions about the clothes but her phone rings.
She rejected the call. After that her phone rings again..and again..and again. She wasn't even focussing on helping me. I ask her questions..she didn't reply because she were busy rejecting the call. I was mad and I rushed out of the shop. Louriza followed behind me and screamed
"hey Chloe! Stop!"
I stop, look back and said
"you want to help me or not?"
She replied
"yes, of course I want to help you..I'm sorry okay"
I replied
"if that person calls again..I'll just go shopping by myself then"
A few seconds later, her phone rings. Louriza look at her phone and then she look at me. She don't know whether to answer the call or off the phone and continue shopping with me.
I said
"go ahead if you want to answer the call"
I walk away. I stop and look back and shouted.
"you promise to watch a movie with me after shopping! But look at it now..I think the movie is cancel then!"
But Louriza just ignored what I said and walk away to the other direction while answering the call. I then continue walking until I went in to this one shop while saying
"how dare she answered the call and left me alone doing the shopping, who is gonna help me"
"I can help"
A voice I couldn't recognize answered my question..
Thanks for reading! :)
