The Chance

Chapter 14

To say that I am utterly scared to death is an understatement.

After Tom left, Ethan insisted on taking me to dinner.He says that he will take me to Pizzariah, so I didn't put up much fight and went with him willingly. What? How can I say no to Pizza? You don't say no to Pizza! Pizza is life!

The waitress who introduced her self as Trina lead us to a vacant cubicle, gave us the menu, then left us to get some water and give us time to think what to order.

Of course, I have nothing to think about, I know that i'll be getting their Pasta Alfredo and the Meat Lovers Moo for pizza. Its like meat lovers pizza, but aside from the mozzarella, it also has Kesong Puti....

'Yum!'  I can already see my alter ego sitting in front of a table with fork and knife on her hands getting ready to eat.

"Have you decided what to order?" I was in the state of day dreaming how good it tastes when Ethan asks.

I blushed a little because of what I was thinking, but immediately realized that it is stupid to get shy about something he doesn't know, so I straighten up my self and said my order.

'I was going to order the same thing', he smirked then he raised his hand to call Trina and gave our order.

'Oooohhh....a man of good taste. A plus point don't you think?'  my alter ego started.

'There is no plus-ing anything.'

'Ha! Yeah right, I am also you, you know! '

'And?'

'You always thought about dating a guy with the same food preference as you do.'

'Well..."

I got nothing to answer her, it was true that I've always wanted someone who I can be my self with. Someone that wont require me to change so much that I will not be able to enjoy the things I love to do, and as you might probably know now, that includes the food I love to eat. So I guess it's true that it is a plus point for a guy to have the same food preference as me.

Since we are talking about my boss here, I don't think that I can give him points. its not like we are dating or something,
so I went back to reality and decided to make a normal conversation to a normal human being and not just with some part of my brain.

"So..." I started after Trina left.

He looked at me crossing his hands and leaning on the table, "Yes?" he said.

"What are you still doing at this mall this hour?"

"Eating dinner with you." He answered like its the most obvious answer.

"Ha-ha" I laughed sarcastically, "You know what I mean. Where you on a date?" I said.

He smirked and answered, "If I said yes, will you be jealous?"

"I-ah-What?" I stuttered, the cockiness of this guys, "Nonsense! Why should I?" I said.

He laughed at my reaction, "Just checking." Then he grinned.

"Well?" I asked again.

"Well what?" He asked putting his left under his chin.

"What are you doing at the mall?"

"If you really must know, I was doing a little window shopping. I was trying to release some stress." He said.

"Wow!" Was my only reaction.

"What? haven't heard of window shopping before?" He teased, leaning back to the chair.

"Whatever," I countered, "I was just amazed. I think that your the first man I know who goes window shopping to release stress." I said.
