Being Enthralling

65. A heavenly feeling.

I was laughing hysterically and Issac looked amused by my antics as we made our way out of the campus.

Earlier, outside the lecture hall I noticed people throwing glances at me and commenting.

"Who the hell is that?"

"Wired tattoo."

"She seems cool."

"Her bangs are horrible!"

"I like her hat."

"Her hair color is awesome!"

"Who is that clown?"

I rolled my eyes and stopped listening to their hushed comments.

Long story short, I did something which petrified them.

People who were ogling, looking disdainfully or commenting on me, I started to bow down and greeting them.

"Bobo ka!"

"Bobo ka!"

I did several curtsy and almost fall flat on my face by laughing at their reactions, thanks to Issac for saving my day.

"What does it mean?" He asked.

"You are stupid in Filipino." I proudly answered and grin when I saw him snicker.

"Hey Issac who's that weird hipster with you?" A bystander asked Issac.

"Mind your business." Isaac retorted coldly.

I did a curtsy and yelled, "Fils de pute."

I said you son of a bitch in French and by the look on his face I guess he understood it.

Issac struggled to keep a straight face and laughed. "You said that in french." He stated.

"Yes."

"I didn't know you are linguistically fluent."

"Oh, no. In the last lecture I did some research on certain words."

Issac turn to look at me and smirked, "You are unpredictable."

I smiled.

He stopped in front a cafe, "You wait for me here by the time I get my car."

"We can take the bus." I suggested.

"The venue is fifteen minutes away by walking from the bus stand."

I have no idea where he is taking me and since he hasn't mentioned it himself, I don't think he as any intension to tell me.

"It's okay, we can walk from the bus stop to the venue."

"You sure?" He asked in a jesting tone. I narrowed my eyes at him, "Okay, just because I don't do cardio and planks and other exercises or yoga it doesn't mean that I can't walk." I angrily stomped my right leg.

The chauvinist bastard had the gall to raise his left eyebrow Infinitesimally. "I can walk for three hours straight!" Furiously I yelled at him.

"Oh." He adds fueling yet another argument. "Shut up! Otherwise, I'll stab you!" I hissed.

He looked at me like I was a wacko. "With that ridiculous mushroom cut toupee, you don't seem dangerous at all."

Arghhhhhh!

"THIS. ISN'T. MUSHROOM. CUT. TOUPEE!"

Seeing my reactions his lips twitched up. He shrugged nonchalantly, "Whatever you say."

Of all the places in the city or the town I least expected to be in an elementary school stage play for a date.

"I don't think this place would be appropriate for a date." Unsure what to say I mumble under my breath however, Issac heard it.

"I only asked you whether you are free after lectures, it was you who named it a romantic rendezvous." He says, making my cheeks flush dark red in complete embarrassment.

Why I had to open my mouth and propose an idea of a date?

We both are now at the backstage of the school auditorium, where a group of twelve to fifteen students were standing in costumes ready to go on the stage.

Issac scanned the area and marched up into the green room confused I followed him. The moment Issac stepped inside we heard an overjoyed voice of a little boy.

"Issac!"

A boy around five to six years ran towards us and hugged Issac's left leg.

"Is this your pretty friend Issac?" The little boy asked, his eyes twinkling as he looked at me.

I pretty? My my, someone speaks about me to his friends. 

If he would have seen me in my disguise then he might have run away from me.

I pursed my lips together in order to stop a smirk when I saw a conflicted look on Issac's face.

Issac took the little boy's hands from his thigh and squat down, "This is my friend Diana and Diana this is my neighbor Mike."

"And friend too." Mike added with a toothy smile. Issac chuckled and ruffled his hair.

"Hello Mike." I softly smiled at the little guy and he said a shy 'Hello.'

"Where's your sister?" Issac asked Mike and all other thoughts in my mind were abruptly stopped.

"She's with Uncle, wait for me here don't go anywhere." Saying that he sprinted to the other side of the room.

What sister?

Why is he asking Mike about his sister?

Is he smitten by her? That's why he came here to impress her?

"You, okay?" Issac asked as he got up. I simply nodded, afraid I will open my mouth and embarrass myself more.

Mike came back with a man who was holding a baby girl in his arms who must be around one year old. The man smiled at Issac "Thank you so much for coming Issac." He said and shook his hands with him. He smiled at me too, and I smiled back.

Issac introduced us, He's Mike uncle. Mike's parents were unable to come because if work purpose that's why Mike asked Issac if he can come to his play.

The little girl name is Mona and she is Mike's sister. I sighed in relief after gaining this information.

Mona in Mr. Jennings arms was bouncing with joy from the moment she saw Issac. She stretched her arms towards him almost begging him to take her in his embrace.

"Hey Mona, missed me?" Issac cooed at the girl and take her into his arms. She giggled and looked at him as if he's the most precious jewel or toy she has ever seen. She pressed her left cheeks to Issac's right cheek first, then copied it again with his left cheek. She pulled away and looked at him. Issac mumbled a few things like how gorgeous she's looking, she toyed with his lips, then his cheeks. Finally, when she was done, she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Issac chuckled and rubbed her back softly while talking to Mike.

I looked at the trio with a smile on my face, it's adorable to see Issac listening to Mike and then talking animatedly with Mona.

I felt as if this is the first time I saw him smiling.

 It wasn't a smile he wears everyday like an attire, it wasn't a smile he puts on his face for formality and it's definitely not a smile he plasters to hide his true emotions.

It is a rare and genuine smile.

It's like I'm seeing Issac Devitt for the very first time and it's a heavenly feeling.
