A Beautiful Creation

Part 41 That Thing

Valentine's day approaching and Luke never hinted any invites for date. As a woman, she's expecting something too

Anyways, she remembered what her almost manhating of a friend's reason about Valentines, "It's just cheezy stuff for commercial purposes. It's when restaurants are full and motel rooms are jampacked."

Maybe Jb's right

Christine walked out of her office early. To release her stupid frustration, she went on a gym at the second floor of their building to try the threadmill. She enrolled there for a year but used it only twice and it will expire soon.

The threadmill's speed was flying when her phone ringed. She's breathing fast but answered it anyway, "Hello"

"Hi babe, what's going on?", Luke asked from the other line

"What do you mean?", she asked also in between her heavy breath.

"Well, you sounds like you're in the middle of something. Want me to help you with that?", he teased

"Luke I'm running", Christine said seriously

Luke chuckled, "Yeah, I can see some nice lady parts bobbing from where I'm standing"

She almost slipped at the machine because of his last statement. Tin pulled an emergency stop and looked at her surrounding. He saw Luke laughing at the side of the gym's entrance.

"How did you know that I'm here?", she asked the guy after she punched his stomach softly.

"Hello my girl", he teased then hugged and nuzzled her jaw

Tin tried to wriggled out of him, "Wait, I'm sweaty"

"Your receptionist said you went out early. She heard you want to go to the gym and I learned that it's on second floor so…"

"Why are you here?", Tin inquired. She know her face was shining with sweat

"I'm here to give you some tulips though I need to throw it into waste", he replied

"What? Why?"

"I saw two guys salivating on you in this exact position while your running so I slap those tulips onto their faces"

Suprised, she looked on the floor to find small pieces of evidence of tulips. "Oh"

"Babe, let's go on a date this Friday. Valentines week right?", he asked smiling

She looked up to him and smiled

"Frida, you think yellow dress would work?", she asked her friend from the other line of her phone. It's already Friday and she doesn't know what to wear. She's at that big mall, friendless and took a lot of snapshot of pictures to send it to Frida. It's her first Valentines date in a long time because normally she would spend it with Charlie at home.

No Jb on sight since her boss is keeping her at bay with a rush work in the office. Jb doesn't care about Valentines anyways. Frida was at the farthest South for a sudden work

"No! How about darker hues", Frida advised

"You mean black?", she asked confused

Deep sigh was heard on the other line, "I wish I'm there Tin. So I can help you"

"It's alright Frida. So?"

"Hmmn definitely not a red, it's too much. How about a dark blue?", Frida offered

"O, I can see something with that color"

"I love your dress. Though I rather want you out of it", Luke whispered in her ear. Tin bought a dark blue dress that Frida chose. A plain one but fits her body so well she felt she can wear everyday. It's close neck with a small white belt to define her waist
