PHASE 85 - GLUTEN-FREE LOVE STORY

PHASE 85 - GLUTEN-FREE LOVE STORY

This weekend, Amy and I decided to go home to Mirose Grande to take a breather. We will have our friendly date in our hometown. This is our first date after two years of me suffering from the pits of Friendzonesville.

The day started normally. I was awoken by a natural alarm clock, which is the sunlight. I took a shower, ate my morning meal, blah blah blah, you already know a regular man’s routine, right?

After suiting up, I walked for five minutes until I reached Amy’s house. By the way, did I tell you already that they own a mansion? Apparently, Amy’s father was the mayor of this city until his name was tainted with disgrace; a typical politician downfall bullcrap. Their wealth also went down with their fame, but amazingly, they are able to retain the mansion.  

I rang the doorbell three times, and I was only answered by Amy’s father. “Oh, Alaric!” He opened the gates for me as he scratched his head. “I’m sorry if Jeannette takes a lot of time to prepare. She’s been up since five, but still…”

It’s already ten. My watch won’t lie to me. Why the hell are the girls take forever to prepare anyway?

Amy’s dad led me to the living room, which comprises of comfy couches and a giant flat-screen TV. I’m quite surprised that they can still maintain the mansion even if there’s only the two of them living here.

While waiting for my “goddess” to suit up, we guys watched extreme snowmobile sports. All of a sudden, Mr. Noctis’s aura became a little bit threatening.

“So… You’re going on a date with my Jeannette, huh? I just want to let you know that whatever you do to her, I will do it to you. You treat her well, I treat you well. You make her cry, I make you cry… You break her heart, I’ll break your heart.”

“You mean you’re going to friend zone me?” I tried keeping my cool mind by giving a smart-aleck smile.

“No. I’m going to break your heart literally.” Mr. Noctis smiled.

There was a chill down in my spine. Dating the daughter of an ex-mayor is really a daredevil’s job. I gulped as cold sweat ran down on my cheeks.

But Mr. Noctis continued to tell creepy stories with such a straight facial expression.

“After Jeannette broke up with that chicken Kristoff, a lot of guys fell in line and attempted to snatch my cute daughter’s heart. And I handled all of them… by hunting. One by one.”

“W-Where are those guys now?” I asked for the sake of trying to wave off the atmosphere.

“I don’t know.” Mr. Noctis raised his shoulders.

“Oh, they escaped. You’re not as good at hunting as you think.” I smiled.

“... I don’t know where their corpses went.”

My smile was completely erased.

“Stop scaring him, Father!” Amy became my superhero that saved me from this trigger-happy daddy. Then she turned to me. “I-I’m sorry if I took forever, Ric…” Amy had her face blushing as she presented herself in a pink silk dress that exposes her white shoulders and skinny legs. She’s so fabulous.

According to Key’s Algorithm Love Itinerary For Alaric (KALIFA), our first stop is the white beaches of Mirose Grande.

Since winter is almost here, there will be no stingy sun rays and the cold breeze from the seas will relax our senses. Strolling around the beach while enjoying the beautiful scenery is a great idea, especially that the beaches are mostly empty in this season.
