Indecisive

Chapter 11

After lunch, he brought me out of town via a helicopter. It was too thrilling for me that I kept screaming when it started flying upwards. Glenn was holding on to my hand throughout the ride, laughing at my reaction to every turbulence. The view of the country was amazing. It could have been prettier if the helicopter wasn't shaking all the time.

By the time the ride ended, it was time for dinner. He brought me to a seaside restaurant this time. The breeze was light and cooling, the sunset view was unforgettable. His 99 roses was another unexpected surprise.

"How was your day today?" Glenn asked after cleaning his mouth with the napkin.

I looked up at him, still eating my main course. "It was really great. Something new for me. I wish I can experience this once in a while with my family and friends too." I smiled at him and took a sip of apple juice.

"You're so beautiful, Harley. I wish I can have you right now." He stared straight at me. I choked on my juice.

He rushed over holding on to a new napkin, kneeling down beside my seat. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I am. Your words were rather misleading. As if you wanted me in bed. This is so embarrassing." I blushed.

He gave a light knock on my head. "I will never think of something like that on you, or on any ladies. I respect women. I'm just saying I want you as my girlfriend."

I looked down and straight into his eyes. They were so gentle, drawing me in. He looked at my lips and slowly moved forward, moulding his on to mine. The kiss was slow, as if showing me the amount of love and happiness he can give me. It was different from the one in the morning. I unknowingly wrapped my arms around his neck.

I broke the kiss and looked at him in the eyes. "It would be great for you to be my boyfriend but I'm going to need time to consider. Things are moving too fast now. I hope you understand."

He smiled his gentle smile. "Of course Harley. I'll wait for you even if I'm old and unable to walk."

Glenn sent me home and thank goodness the ride home was a happy one, not awkward. I was afraid he might think of me friend-zoning him, but he could still joke and laugh things off.

We arrived in front of my house and he opened the side door for me.

I came out and gave him a hug. "Thank you for today, Glenn. I really enjoyed myself."

We release our hold and he smiled. "I'm glad you did. I enjoyed it too, thanks to this lovely silly girl." He was messing up my hair with his hand as he said that. "I guess I'll see you in school?"

"Of course." I smiled at him. I watched him drove his car off before going into the house. Before I managed to reach for the door knob, it opened by itself.

"Harley, Harley... Harley. How was your little date?" Clark stood there leaning on the door, crossing his arms, smiling.

"Clark!" I ran and hugged him. I missed my brother's nonsense.

"Did something bad happened? Are you crying? Why are you hugging me with such intensity? I'm going to punch Glenn the next time I see him." He was trying to pull me away from him so he could see my face. I laughed at him worrying too much and told him the full story from the time I knew him in Starbucks till today's dinner time at the seaside restaurant.

"Seems like you enjoyed a lot today. Are you going to consider him as your boyfriend?" Clark asked. We were sitting on the sofa hugging on to the sofa pillows as we chat, it was already past 10.

"I told him I need to reconsider as things are going too fast right now. I barely even know him. He understood and give me his promise to wait."

Clark nodded, as if in approval with my decision. "You made the right choice. Even I need time to watch and understand him. I will be his stalker this time." He seems to be enjoying this and laughed. "Time to bathe and sleep, Harley. It's late."
