Falling For a Geek Charming

Chapter 10

While he's driving, silence and awkwardness filled the air. No one dared to talk between us, but I decided to open my mouth instead.

"Did you know that I was the one who was supposed to be your date earlier..?" I asked.

"Yeah. James told me your name." He answered, but still kept his eyes on the road as he drives.

"Why were you at the clothing store earlier, by the way?" I asked again.

"I just decided to look for some clothes, but I didn't buy anything. Just for cold air."

"Ohh.. okay," I said.

"You still feeling good until now?" He asked.

"What?" I asked.

"You still feeling alright until now?" He asked again. Nani??

"Of course, why?"

"You don't feel well, right?"

"Ohhh! HAHAHA.." I awkwardly said. What the heck is that all about, Ria...

"Let me guess. You pretended to be sick just so you would not attend the date, am I right?"

"Um... I didn't pretend. Pen covered up for me because I didn't really want to do those double-dates-stuffs. I'm not into it, in short. I'm sorry if you had to do this.." I said.

"It's okay, I understand that your boyfriend will be jealous."

I quickly glare at him and saw his face still serious. I looked again at my front.

"I don't have a boyfriend," I answered. "Okay." He just said and silence suddenly came. I already gave him my address, so he should know where he is going.

When I already reached home, he opened the door for me as I go out with a thank you.

"Thank you, Nathan, for escorting me home. I appreciate all your efforts, really. I'm sorry too for earlier--"

"Don't talk to formally with me. You can talk in a comfortable way, haha. Anyways, have a good dinner and a good sleep too." Nathan said with a smile on his face. I agree with Pen that he has a good look. I bet many girls have a crush on someone like him.

"You too, have a good dinner with Pen and James! Thank you.. again."

"I'm gonna go home." He answered. "What? I thought you're gonna have dinner with--" 

"It's gonna be boring if you're not there with us." He said. I laugh awkwardly and nod slowly afterward. He really looks handsome and tall close-up, I won't deny it. Especially when he's smiling that way. His looks really will catch the girl's attention. I smile back at him too.

"I guess I'll see you.. next time?" I said and waved at him goodbye while walking inside my house.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." He answered and I was confused by that. Tomorrow?
