#HOPERAIWEEK2017
DAY 3 Jealousy
TITLE: Online DateHope and Lightning moved in together after reunited in the new world.
Serah always visit them every two times a month until one day, she came with unexpected news.
"WHAT???"
Lightning shouted with eyes widened, she can't believe what her sister just told her so goes the one who sat beside her that is Hope, who hold himself from burst out the coffee that he was drinking.
"I said... I set you a few dates on online for this month" said Serah while smiling at both of them.
"Bu-but" Lightning was trying to think of how to make an excuse.
"NO BUTS! You've been single for a really long time, I want you to at least try" said Serah to her sister.
Lightning let out a heavy sigh "Okay fine how many of them?" . She cannot refuse, if she did she will go to face her sister scary face and she is also doesn't want to disappoint her sister.
"4 guys for each Saturday in this month" said Serah while she sips a cup of coffee before she continues.
"Oh and Hope, I want you to make sure that Lightning went to all of her date" She gave Hope a million volts of death glare that makes Hope freaks out inside, 'Gosh she made the exact same face when she's destroys my machine back then'.
"Got it??" Serah wants a confirmation from both of them.
They both nodded.... slowly.
"Great!" Serah puts a cup of coffee down on the table, after that she grab her purse then she pursues her steps to the exit door and opened the door, before she steps out, she glares at both of them for one last time "I'll give you the details". The door is fully shut, leaving Hope and Lightning with a confuse look on their face.
------
Lightning went on a blind date with the three guys that Serah set up for her.
The first one didn't turn up really well, a guy named Ryan is really a pervert , on their first date at a fancy restaurant that only a few block away from Hope's workplace, Lightning can't stop Ryan from praised the beauty of her face and body in a pervert way that makes Lightning totally annoyed. At the end of their date, Ryan ask Lightning if she could come at his house. Lightning gets so mad until she punches Xyan through his not-so-handsome face and leave him alone.
On her second date, she went on a date with a guy named Maxi who's brought her to eat at a different restaurant that was also a few blocks away from Hope's Workplace. He is a sweet talker but there is something about Maxi that makes Lightning not comfortable about, the way he looks at Lightning AND the way he looks at the waitress and a few random girls who stepped inside the restaurant, at the end of their date Maxi asked if Lightning wants to go out for another date, Lightning politely refuse and leave him alone.
On her third date..... nothing much really... It was a raining evening at a small cafe that was also placed near Hope's workplace, which makes her raise suspicion, she dated a guy named Evan... and nothing much going on. Evan is a quiet person and he didn't ask much only her name, place she live, her favoutire color and all those boring question. Lightning almost want to fall asleep when going on a date with him.
------
When Hope was walking to find his car at the parking lot, it has been third time he saw Lightning went on a date with other guy at different places but yet near his office.
Hope acts so uneasy whenever he saw Lightning eating and chatting with other guy. He decided to ignore it since he knows that Lightning will definitely reject everyone...... Right???
----
it's Friday night, Lightning tells Hope about everything that happens during her dates and Hope was cringing during their conversation.
'Lightning should be respected, non of this guy deserve to be with her, does every guy already forgot how to treat a woman properly???? But these 3 unknown guy is lucky AF to spend one evening with Lightning than me who gets to live with her but don't get a chance to spend time with her because i was too busy'. Hope thoughts.
He was actually jealous but just don't want to admit it.
Before he goes to his bed, his phone rang and it turns out Serah the one who was calling him.
----
Lightning greeted a guy named Wayne at the....... here's the clue it's few blocks away from Hope's workplace, to Lightning he looks kind and polite person compare to other guy that she dated. They both sat on their table that specially reserved for them, it's actually went well from what Lightning expected they both are talking, talking and talking didn't realize that someone was watching them.
A few minutes later Wayne gazing around the restaurant and saw two pairs of couple that only a few table away from them. He made that uneasy face but he still wants to keep chatting with Lightning. Then his phone was ringing and Wayne decided to answer his phone call.
Lightning noticed that Wayne always took a glance at a table number 7 that was a few tables far from them while he was in a middle of phone call with someone else, Lightning turned her head back and saw a young silver-haired man who wore simple black tuxedo with a woman with long brown Tifa's Hairstyle that wore long red dress.
Her eyes widened after she saw the stunning silver-haired man while she was gazing at him, she made the uneasy face when she saw Hope was happily chatting with a woman.
"I'm really sorry miss but I can't do it anymore" Said Wayne.
Lightning turned her head back to Wayne with a confuse look. Wayne stood up from the chair and walked away from her.
She was just watching at Wayne's action who made his way to the table number 7, Lightning saw Wayne were pulling the woman left wrist that forced her to get up. Lightning was surprised by his action but his action doesn't effect the silver-haired man to do something at all.
Wayne pulled the girl out from the restaurant while everyone's watching them. After they both gone, all eyes are on Lightning and Hope. They both don't know where they can hide their face.
Lightning just sat there until her wrist got pulled by the silver-haired man, luckily the food that they order haven't arrived yet.Lightning was surprised by his action but she didn't mad at him to just pull her hand like that. After they got out from the restaurant, Lightning looked at Hope and said.
"Okay that was unexpected"
"Umhum" is the only respond from him.
"By the way, Who is she?" Asked Lightning that almost sounded like she was angry.
Hope was looking at Lightning and said
"Whoever she is, It was just a fake date"
"What???"
"It's all part of my plan to ruining your date"
"Thank you for that but why???" Said Lightning while crossed her arms and stopped her
Hope stopped his movement, he look at woman beside him then put his left hand on her shoulder then he hold her chin using his anothet hand to titled it up, gently so that Lightning was facing him.
"Because no one knows how to treat you like the way I am my dear"
Lightning realized what Hope said, he was flirting with her, so she flicked his forehead.
"Ouch" Hope let go off her.
"Fine, if you really can treat me better than the other guys do, I want you to cook for me back at home, because of your stupid plan, I can't get to eat anything.
"As you wish milady"
