Chapter 8: I'll Call You Brands

Nadine's pov

I was checking out myself in the mirror, making sure that i look okay. I was wearing a white statement crop top and jeans with belt. I let my hair down and straightened it for a bit.

"Are you going out again?" Logan asked, making me jumped a bit. She was coming out of nowhere.

"Fuck." I put my hand over my heart.

"Sorry." She grimaced.

"Uh, yeah."

"You look pretty today." She smiled, the genuine one.

"Do i always?" I joked.

"Come on," she rolled her eyes.

I chuckled and grab for my sling bag. I walked towards the door. I was holding the doorknob when i heard she said something.

"Don't be late for dinner." She said from behind my back.

"Sure." I shortly answered. "I'll see you later," i added before closing the door.

Just as yesterday, he was already there standing in front of the H&M store, waiting for me. I took a look on my wristwatch its only been 1.40 pm. I shook my head and smiled, looking at him which was already smiling at me.

"You're 20 minutes earlier. I told you to meet me at 2." I said as i approached him.

"I told you i hate making someone else wait." He gave me a smile that always made me weak on my knees. "And so are you."

"I know. That's why i showed up earlier but i guess you just beat me to that." I chuckled.

"I will never make you wait, Nads." He smiled again. Gosh i swear he was like a bag full of candies. He always smiled, and his smiles were always as sweet as candy. So practically, he was the bag and his smiles were the candies. Ooooh i know i am cheesy.

"Okay." I just nodded. "Well, just let's go."

"Where to?" He questioned, raising his brow.

"I don't know yet but let's just grab for lunch, we will think about it later."

"So someone is hungry, huh?" He teased.

"Very." I nodded my head and chuckled.

"Good afternoon, what's your order, ma'am?" The waitress asked me with a smile since Brandon was still busy scanning on the menu.

"Afternoon." I returned her smiled.

She was holding a pen and the order clip pad, ready to take my order.

"Uh, can i have Betutu chicken and a classic bloody mary, please?"

"Sure ma'am." Her hand was moving over the pad, writing my order.

"How about you, Brandon? Have you made up your mind?" I asked, looking at him.

"Uh, yeah." He looked up at me then at the waitress. "Make that double please." He said, giving her a smile.

This guy sure smiles a lot.

And you can't be attracted to him, Nadine. He's your idol. Can't be your real life crush.
