Chapter Four - Secret Love.
Waking up is not my job. It's another person's job. But still, I have to do it. I looked at my phone to see that it was already 1:01 PM... Great. Another day where half of it is wasted in sleeping. I went downstairs to see that Nela was eating lunch already, so I ate with her.
"Hey, Auntie Glends told me that she's shopping groceries, then right after that, she'll be a bit busy again... So while she's gone, we'll be packing up some suitcases." She said as I sat down beside her.
After we've ate our lunch, we went straight to our rooms and packed our bags. Halfway through packing my third luggage, Nela gave me the dress I bought from yesterday and signaled me to wear it.
**************
I came out of the dressing room to see that Nela was smiling. I haven't seen her smile like this. When it comes to her and smiling like that, she tends to bite her lower lip, but no, she looked really amazed by me and she couldn't even put her face in a normal condition. She then hugged me really tight, causing me to hyperventilate afterwards.
"You look stunning..." She said finally. I smiled back at her. Then she grabbed her clothes to wear and went, again, to the dressing room. While waiting, I was searching for the perfect pair of shoes to wear. I immediately saw my old wedges that I bought from way back when I was still in the Philippines. So I decided that I should wear that.
When I saw Nela come out of the dressing room, she was wearing something really casual. I mean, she wore something that she'd just wear in the movies. I gave her a confused look and she just smiled at me, which made it much more confusing.
"Just... Be yourself tonight," She told me. I just confusingly agreed then we took off to wherever we were heading. It was apparently in the city because we've been roaming around Montreal for like, 10 minutes. We stopped on, what it seems like a tall hotel. After we've entered the hotel, I followed Nela's lead, went to the elevator, and pressed the button which leads to the hotel rooftop.
As we reach the top, I, once again, followed Nela's lead, and brought me to a table, complete with lit candles, a dinner set, and a bouquet of flowers. After a few minutes, I have realized that Nela wasn't with me already. I had a sudden change of emotions. What if I was in a prank? What if I'm actually having dinner with Death?
Then I heard someone walking to my direction.
I didn't want to turn around, cause if I did, it might be a killer and he might kill me in a second. So I waited until he reached me. I then felt a hand on my shoulder...
"Umm... I didn't expect that you'll wear something really, kind of formal..." A familiar voice said. I slowly turned my head and saw a really gorgeous face. It was Mitch :)
I looked at him from head to toe... He was wearing something... quite casual? I don't know. I don't understand what kind of clothes they were... Ask Nela.
"Oh sorry... It's just that Nela told me to wear this," and I looked behind him to see Nela peeking out from a huge stone wall... Nice hiding place, dickhead.
Mitch walked towards the chair at the other end of the small table. He actually felt pretty awkward, I can tell by his gestures. "So... Umm, tell me more about yourself...?" He asked. He pursed his lips so that it wouldn't seem awkward for him... But I gotta tell you, it is awkward.
"Well, I was born in the Philippines, I'm sure you know that. I have two brothers that I call my 'butt bros'... Am I going too far?"
"No, no! It's fine... Umm... Would you like to go cruising? I brought my skateboard with me," He asked. I looked down to see if I could do it with wedge sneakers... Yup. It'll do.
"But I don't have Pastel with me!" I replied after a sudden realization.
Mitch took out my beloved Pastel out of the blue, "Remember the first day we met? Well, you left her at our house," He said as he handed me over Pastel.
"Oh... So that's why I can't see her anywhere," I grabbed Pastel, then we went down the hotel.
As I rode over Pastel, I was so scared that I might trip over. But as we went further and further, I started to get used to it. We then stopped at a deserted restaurant, I mean, no people, no lights, not even a single person working there.
"I thought that you don't like being surrounded by strangers, so I closed the whole restaurant just for us," he said looking at me. He the grabbed me by hand and we entered the restaurant, "before we enter though, you need to wear this," he also handed me a blindfold. Wow. Like I'm gonna see anything.
"Mitchell Donald Ralph Hughes, what the hell are you doing to me?!" I asked loudly. He didn't say a thing while he was still pulling me by the hand. He then told me to sit, in which I did, then ordered me to remove my blindfold.
"Would you like to eat dinner?" Mitch asked. I was still shocked about this, but I nodded and started to glance around the place. He snapped his fingers, and guess who came out from the darkness of the surroundings. It was the crazy motherfucker.
"Enjoy your dinner," Nela said after she've laid down food in front of us, then disappeared once again in the darkness.
Like any usual romantic dates, it was pasta, "So, do you like it so far?" He asked again as he was staring in to my soul. I couldn't make eye contact with him. If I do, I will faint again like what happened 3 days ago.
"Yeah... Thanks for the late night cruising, cause that's what I love the most," I replied. Then the awkwardness started.
After a while, Mitch stood up, went beside me, and offered me his hand, "Wanna dance?" He asked. I accepted his offer and placed my hand on his. He led me to the empty part of the restaurant and danced like it was prom night.
At this moment, Mitch was hugging me, "You know, I've always wondered... What's your shoe size?" And I thought he was serious. I slapped him on the back.
"Why the hell would you ask me that?!"
"Well... I've noticed that you have extremely huge feet"
"Shut up..."
When Mitch and I were going on circles, I would usually see Nela cringing in a corner. All she has to do now is cry.
"But on a serious note though, do you... Umm... Do you want things to be straight to the point or do you want to wait like, you know, for the right time of some sort?" Mitch asked.
"YES. I mean, I can be straight to the point," I replied. Ugh, it's your first date Joy, and you've already fucked up.
"Okay then. Well, umm, so... Do you like, you know, be my... umm... Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He said.
I knew this was coming. He had his hands in his pockets, and he was looking down to the marble floor. I held his shoulders, and he held his head down to see me. He looked as cute as ever.
"Mitch, you know that I love you. I bet you know, I've been watching you for years," I said. Okay, it's going well, "and I've been dreaming this moment my whole life," I added.
"Oh god. Just say yes already!" I heard Nela shout from the shadows. Thanks for the motivation, let's see if I need to say anything to Mitch now.
"So what's it gonna be?" He asked. So I took a deep breath...
"Yes. I would be delighted to be yours."
Happiness filled the room. Nela was screaming, and I couldn't help but laugh. Mitch grabbed one side of my cheek, faced my attention to him, and we kissed. It was our first kiss as a couple tho. After that, he hugged me and stared right into my soul.
"I hope I made the right decision," I whispered to him. He smiled, and once again, kissed me. The next thing I knew, I woke up from my bed with a mysterious light called sun was shining on my face... Then I ate a bowl of oatmeal.
