Rendezvous

Chapter 8

I think my eyelashes are overdone? He did mention wear something comfortable? So does that mean I'm allowed to wear my sneakers?

I checked my appearance on the mirror and noticed that I actually look good. I'm wearing a white skater dress and my white Converse.

Since my hair is pretty much boring. So I just decided to put it up in a high ponytail.

I'm forgetting something. Hmmm. Oh goodness me! I need to brush my teeth again too!

Yes yes. Okay.

One of the perks of having mom as a dentist is having good products and having all the supplies for oral health.

I checked the time and I see that Harry could be here any minute.

So I prepared my purse. Lip balm. Check. Phone. Check. Wallet. Check. Sanitary napkin, just in case. Check. Mouth spray. Meh. Okay. Check.

As I head downstairs. I took my cellphone inside my pocket, letting my mom and dad that I'm going out. Then I put in back inside my purse.

Both of them are not fast at texting me back. They're busy with work.

I sat on the couch and turned on the television. I didn't really pay attention to the television, so I took my phone again to play Color Switch. This game is just so infuriating, yet so fun.

3 minutes later, I heard the doorbell. Oh that must be Harry. Only one way to find out.

As I get closer to the door, I suddenly felt so nervous and my palms started to get sweaty. Oh god. Grab yourself together, Olivia! I scolded myself.

"Hi!"

"Oh you look so cute, Olivia. Ready to go?"

"Ahm yeah. Let me go get my keys. Would you like to come in for a minute?"

"Sure" he replied

I went to the kitchen and grabbed my keys. When I reached the living room, I noticed that the television is already off. Hmmm, I guess he hates watching news?

"I'm ready. Let's go?"

"Yes. Let's"

****

Harry was a gentleman. He also looks handsome. As always. He is perfect.

I wonder if he knew about my secret crush about him? I didn't make it that obvious back in high school, so I guess not.

"Harry, where are we going then?"

"I'm glad you asked."

One minute passed and he's still not answering my question.

"So, where are we going?"

"Sshh babe. We'll be there soon. For the mean time. I give you the authority to control the stereo." He looked at me then winked. Ha! Okay. That was cute.

"Okay then. How do you turn it on?"

"Like this." He showed me everything I need to control it.

"Your car is so cool and high- tech."

"Thanks. Do you know how to drive?"

"Nope. I'm not even allowed to sit beside the driver. So basically this is my first time." I said shyly.

"Oh really? It's an honor then. I could teach you how to drive."

"It's okay. I think I can learn someday."

"Of course you will! Hey, let's make that one of our accomplishments this summer yeah?" He said excitedly.

I giggled at his response. I'm quite thrilled that I get to hang out with him. Plenty of girls are probably killing me now inside their minds.

Silence occupied us as I look at the window. We're now in the street where local restaurants are usually found. I've always loved it here in New York. The pizza is so nice.

"Okay! Here we are!"

I looked outside and saw a very beautiful restaurant. I suddenly feel underdressed. I glance back and Harry, well he isn't fully dressed that much either (harry's outfit is shown)

"Harry, this place looks so expensive and I think I'm not wearing a proper attire for this restaurant."

"Hey! Don't say that, you're stunning."

Oh please cheeks don't turn red now! Don't blush please!

When I was about to protest, he then said "My mom owns the place. It's okay. We have an easy access on this one"

And with that, he guided me inside and all staffs are smiling and greeting him.

We are now located at an area with a very beautiful view of New York. The tall buildings are arranged oh so aesthetically, it's breathtaking.

"This place is beautiful." I exclaimed

"Yeah. I go and eat here a lot."

"Do you also bring other girls here?" I asked. Oh god. Why did I ask that? Too late to take it back now!

"Haha. I actually go here alone everytime. Dad's running for president is stressful even for me too."

I hummed at his response. Right. I'm having a date with the future president's son. Date? Are you sure this is a date, Olivia? Huh? I asked myself.

"Good afternoon. Harry and madam. I'm Martin and I will be serving you while you dine here. Here are your menus. Anything that you would like to drink?"

I looked at Martin and estimated that he could be in his middle thirties. Him and Harry are close according to my observation.

"I'll have a glass of water."

"I'll have a wine, Martin. Thank you. Come back in 10 minutes for our order."

"Of course, Harry. Take your time." He smiled at both of us.

"Okay. So I have a question for you Olivia."

"And what is it?"
