Falling For a Geek Charming

Chapter 9

I dropped my jaws when I saw how cool and beautiful this restaurant is. I'm sure the food's hella expensive here.

I let Pen pull me closer her date and the other guy busy with his phone. His back seems familiar though.

"Penelope, you're here." James stood up as she helps Pen sit on the chair.

"You look beautiful as always, Mi Amor," James said to Pen and I couldn't resist finding it cute and sweet. "Thanks, you look handsome too.." I looked at Pen blushing and I just chuckled at myself. James and Pen really look like a perfect couple together.

"Ria?" My attention landed on the guy who called my name. I widen my eyes in shock when I knew who it was.

"Nathan?" I said. "Yeah, Ria. Would you like to take a sit?" He asked and I was supposed to answer but Pen answered for me instead.

"Ria doesn't feel so good right now. Is it okay if you take her home, Nathan? It's already dark outside and we might not know what will happen if she's gonna be by herself, going home alone." Pen said and I just raise my eyebrows at her answer.

"Is that so? Okay." Nathan simply answered with a smile.

"I can go home alone and it might be bothersome if you would have to take me home since you're gonna eat dinner right now.." I said, but Nathan just chuckled.

"You're not bothersome to me. Let's go." Nathan stood up from his chair as he grabs my hand, pulling me next to him. I quickly turn back and looked at Pen, busy talking to James. I just sighed and let myself walk next to Nathan with me.

When we reached the parking lot area, silence took over the air and became awkward.

"You.. you can let go of me now.." I said, but he didn't answer and just kept on walking while holding my hand. I feel uncomfortable right now since I barely know him and he's holding my hand right now...

"Someone might kidnap you." He answered with no expression written on his face.

He isn't my boyfriend to do this and all though, but I don't want to sound ridiculous right now again since I bumped onto him earlier at the clothing store. He suddenly glances at me and then sighed after.

He let go of my hand as he gets his car remote out of his pocket. When the car sounded, we walked near his Mercedes-Maybach Exelero.

He opened the door for me as I thank him and hopped in. He closed the door after and I can't help but smell the amazing scent of his car. When he's already in, I kept myself normal.
