REDAMANCY

CHAPTER 20

CELINE'S POV

As soon as I finished my work, I practically ran to the bus stand, before Daniel could stop me.
And now I am very close to screaming as I am looking into my cupboard and not finding a suitable dress.

I have an hour to get ready before he comes to pick me up.

Dad's not home, so he is of no help.

This is the part where I deeply regret not having a friend.

Not that it is my mistake. No one really approached me..

After 15 more minutes of the intense drama, I finally found a dress which was way behind in my cupboard. I didn't even know I owned the dress.
It was a simple red off shoulder dress that ended few inches above my knees. It was short compared to other dresses I wear but it wasn't slutty, though I did look hot.

Satisfied with my appearance, I quickly took my purse and checked it.
I grabbed my phone and went downstairs. I was just about to write a note to my dad when the doorbell rung.

He's here!

I quickly wrote the note stuck it on the refrigerator and went to open the door. I was breathing heavily till I reached the door.

Am I nervous?
Hell yes..

It's not everyday you get to go on a date with Daniel Harper.
Taking a deep breath, I put on a smile and opened the door.
My smile soon left as I realized that it wasn't Daniel.

" Good evening Maam, my name is Marc. Mr Harper has sent me to escort you. " the man said.

" Ohh...and where is he? " I asked disappointed.

" He is already waiting for you Maam" he replied.

" Ok let me grab my purse " I said and went back in the house to take my purse.

Marc opened the door for me to get in. I thanked him and got in.
Once we left, I couldn't help but feel bad that he was not the one to pick me up. I checked my phone, but there wasn't any texts from him.

" Umm..Did he by any chance tell you the reason as to why he couldn't come?  " I asked Marc.

He smiled politely at me and said
" Sorry Maam but he didn't. But don't you worry about anything, he has been planning it for a while, you will definitely like it ".

Wait...

" Planning for a while? What do you mean?" I asked.

" Umm..sorry Maam but it's not my place to tell " he scratched his neck nervously.

" But you said something, what did you mean?" I asked confused.

" As I said not my place to tell you " he said with a tone of finality.

I huffed and leaned back in my seat. The rest of the riders silent.
Soon Marc annoced that we had arrived.
That's when I realized that we had come out of the town. This place had more of a forest with trees all around.

" Just go down this path " Marc said.

Before I could respond he was back in the car. I wrapped my arms around me as the whether here was more chiller. Then I walked down the path which Marc had instructed to.
When I reached the end of the path, I gasped at the view in front of me. All you could hear was the sound of waves hitting the shore. It was amazing.

What place is this?

" Daniel?" I called.
No response. I shivered again.

" Daniel? Are you there? " I called again.
