Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

The next day was weird and happy. It was filled with eating a lot of sea salt caramel with waffles. Which Allana loved.

And I learned to love.

" They're also nice with vanilla ice cream. " she said.

" Yeah, think we could try? I mean, I think there are about 3 tubs of it downstairs. "

" Of course we could try. Lemme call household. "

She got the telephone and called the household.

" Yeah, hi, this is Allana, could you send a tub of vanilla ice cream up here in the veranda? Thanks. "

Then she got off.

" The ice cream will be here within 5 minutes. "

" Well, they'd better hurry! The caramel will be finished soon. "

Allana's phone rang for a text message.

" Who's it from?" I asked.

" Uh, William. "

" William? Bassingthwaighte or Cambridge?"

" Cambridge."

" What does he need?"

" He needs to see me again tonight. "

" Why?"

" He says I can't tell you. "

" Yes you can. Tell me. "

" Okay, fine. "

She settled her phone on the table.

" Wills is planning to have a small dinner outside the palace, me and you, him and Kate. Since he does not know the places of good food, he just knows the name, he asked me to take him on a tour outside. "

" Oh? "

" Yeah. "

" So, why does he keep this as a secret?"

" Because if it doesn't work out, it will all fall back to him. "

" Oh. "

I laughed.

" And Kate wanted the four of us to have a dinner outside the Palace walls. And William has been planning with me. "

" Do you have any idea where the dinner is?"

" It's either Restaurant Gordon Ramsay or Pied a Terre. "

" Oh, those restos are nice."

" Well, William's team Gordon Ramsay, and I am team Terre. "

" Oh, wow. "

" Yeah,that's what were finalising tonight. "

" I'm team Terre. "

She smiled.

" And if this goes well, we'll do this monthly. "

" Wow. "

The vanilla ice cream was not delivered.

Which means that the caramel was finished.

" Do you still hate Will Bassingthwaighte?" I asked.

" Hate his guts. "

" You know, he and Carmela might have kids soon. "

" I'm pretty sure that we'll go first before them."

" Well, they're thinking about kids. We are not."

" Not at the moment. But soon, we are. "

" When is that soon?"

" I don't know."

At about 7, William dropped by our house.

" Hey. " I said

" Hey, Harry."

" She's just getting ready.."

" Ah. Are you Team Ramsay or Team Terre?"

" What are those? "

" Nothing. I assumed Allana told you. "

" Told me what?"

Good acting skills, Henry.

Allana came out in a simple jeans and a white button down shirt.

" Told him what?" she said.

" The thing. " William said.

Yes, William I know the thing....

" I haven't. Let's go. "

She approached me and kissed me.

" Good acting. " she whispered on my ear.

Then they left.

" Wait, what thing?" I shouted.

" You'll know soon. " William shouted back.
