Illiana's POV
"Why do you look so upset?" I asked Michael curiously. He's been silent after his meeting with the Chief of Police earlier.
"Dad didn't allow me to go on leave so I can't come with you to New Zealand to celebrate your birthday" he explained after a minute. He's too focused on the road, and he's been frowning.
"Oh, that's really sad. How many days did you apply?" I said with a fake sad expression plastered on my face.
"I initially applied for a one week leave but he didn't approve so I bargained for three days, but he still didn't approve it" he said before turning left on the intersection.
I told him last week about my birthday leave and he told me that he would love to come with me to Auckland. I'm surprised when he told me that because I didn't expect that he will offer to come with me. I said yes because I don't want him to feel that I don't want to be with him.
I'm so relieved right now that I couldn't control my grin so I turned my face to the window so that he won't notice it. Killing Toby is very timing, the Chief can't afford him to be out of work for a week because of it. I placed my hand on his right lap afterwards to comfort him.
"Well, I guess we'll just celebrate when I come back, what can I say? The S.E.T needs you more than I do" I said sweetly while tapping his lap.
"Okay" he simply said after pulling up in front of my house.
He looked like he doesn't want to leave yet so I decided to invite him inside my house for a snack. He immediately accepted my offer and joked that he doesn't want me to change my mind. I actually don't like inviting people inside my house because it's my sacred haven. Only Carin and dad can come, even without my consent.
Also Sky! My mind reminded me.
"Wow" he muttered as soon as we entered.
"So you're a minimalist, this is the first time for me" he added when I led him to the couch.
"First time of what?" I asked confused.
"It's the first time that I've been to a minimalist's house" he elaborated before pulling me down to sit beside him.
"So, how is it?" I asked to keep the conversation going.
"Well, it's good. I mean, most of the women that I met before likes to buy things that they don't even use. So knowing that you're different from most of them makes me really happy" he said sweetly before slightly pinching my nose.
I just smiled at him in response before standing up.
"How do you like your coffee?" I inquired afterwards.
"Just black, I like it strong" he said smiling.
"Okay, I think I have the best coffee for you. Make yourself comfortable, I'll be back in a few minutes" I said before heading to the kitchen.
I took out the bag of my Death wish coffee from the cupboard and poured one teaspoonful of it on his cup. I did the same to mine but I added milk on it. Carin gave me a box of blueberry cheesecake yesterday as an advance gift for my fake birthday.
"I can kill you right now Michael" I mumbled while slicing the cake. I lifted the knife afterwards to lick the cake residue on it.
"But I don't want to make a mess in my house" I said pouting. I immediately placed the knife on the sink when I heard Michael's footsteps approaching.
"I figured you'll need help" he said just when I'm about to bring the coffee to him.
"Perfect timing, please carry the cakes" I said before heading back to the living room.
