Nathalia's P.O.V.
I sat quietly on the car as I was really praying hard that Flint and I 's paths wouldn't cross for today anymore, Flint has been noticing me that my mind is being occupied by other things. I was very much surprised that I began to day dream and remeber what happened yesterday when Xavier first came back here.
"Are you nervous?" I turned to Xavier who was just blankly staring at the road, he was very much focused in driving and is also currious of why I'm acting very timid and silent.
I just quietly nod my head which earned a small laugh from him, he held my hand with his right hand and gave me a kiss on the back of my hand.
"Don't be, for sure he'll be pleased to meet a very fine young lady like you. He'll be happy for us" Whoever this person is, I think he's very close with Xavier to the point of him wanting to appoint this 'guy' and 'friend' he knows as his best man. Though I'm feeling a bit weary and uncertain today, I can feel that there's something wrong going to happen.
"We're here" Announced Xavier with a bit of excitement on his tone, I slowly unclasp his hand from mine and went to unbuckle the seatbelt placed on me. I calmed my nerves down and waited for Xavier to finish parking, I saw a restaurant with a very good ambiance and is famous because I can see that the customers are many.
"But it looks like he was the first one to go here" Xavier added, I slowly went out of the car and saw many cars lined up on the parking lot, another proof that this restaurant is really famous. I wonder what car belongs to Xavier's friend since I really don't have any idea who this friend is...
Hand in hand, Xavier and I walked inside the restaurant as we were greeted by many staff members and also the resturant owner who I know is monitoring his woeker's work.
"This way Sir, ma'am" One of the waiter said as he made a slight gesture ti follow him and go to this way, I held Xavier's arm first to stop him from walking any further.
"Xavier, can I go to the wash room first?"
"Sure, just make sure to come find me in the VIP section. I'll just tell someone to assist you back" I nod my head and proceeded to go to the restroom without even asking any staff memebers where the wash room is. There were signs designed in calligraphies which made the restaunt more beautiful, I walked towards the empty hall..
"Nathalie" I looked ahead of me and saw someone I didn't expect to see again, I was really praying so hard not to meet him but then our paths have crossed again.
"Oh Flint, you're also here?" I was walking on the hallways towards the wash room where in we have to walk a few meters before reaching the wash room where the boy's wash room are just beside the girls.
"I came to meet a friend, why are you here?" He asked, I was just still going to go to the restroom while Flint is already heading back to the main lobby.
"I also have a friend to meet here" I said, a small look of confusion flashed in his eyes as my heart keeps beating in an erratical pace.
"I'll just go there to the comfort room now" I added as I badly wanted to avoid this uncomfortable situation, Flint seems to understand that I'm feeling quite unwell so he just smiled.
"I'll see you later" He added, I hastilly went inside the restroom and was so much relueved that there were no people inside the wash room, I needed a time to breathe first. I rested my upper body on the sink as I looked at myself in the mirror.
"Please, just not him" I kept on mentioning to myself as I think I could go crazy in no time... after a few minutes, I decided to go back... hoping that everything will be good.
"Ma'am, this way please" A female worker greeted me and led me to where Xavier probably is, I walked with her until we reached a door which I think is a VIP room. I twisted the doorknob and walked inside the room...
"It's so glad to know that you're finally going to get married, you,re already old" I stopped in my tracks once I heard that voice, my mind went totally blank as I can't comprehend anything...
"Says the one who is a year older than me" I heard Xavier uttering the words, I was still frozen on the spot nnt knowing what to do... I was right, somethin is really wrong..
"Oh, Nathalie. Come here, this is my friend" Xavier saw me as he was facing the door... the man he was talking to on the other hand has his bac facing me, but his shoulder line and back frame looks totally familiar to me... I can't be mistaken...
"He's my best friend and will be my best man. Flint this is Nathalie, my fiance" No...
The man... Flint stood up from his seat and turned around to face me, neutral... that was the look plastered on his face... I couldn't do anything, I couldn't speak anything, there was nothing entering my mind but what Flint first did made me feel ashamed of myself.
"It's nice to meet you" He extended his hand for me to take but I feel too guilty to even hold his hand and look at him in the eye, he's acting as if he doesn't know me...
"Flint..."
"Let's have lunch now, shall we?" Xavier flashed us a smile as he patted the empty seat next to him, Flint dropped his hand down.
