The Stalker Angel |✔ (under construction 🚧)

Chapter 28

27| You got plans tonight

I sat straight as the waiter approached to take our orders.

Alexander lifted the menu and gazed towards it. The waiter left after noting our order. He poured himself a glass of water.

I decided to gaze outside the window but I glimpsed away instantly when I noticed two people were making out. Alexander shot a look at the couple and started laughing with his eyes fixed at me.

"What's there to laugh at?" I said with much annoyance. He kept on laughing, I glared at him, after few seconds he managed to stop but the smirk was still on his face.

"Well. I am sorry but It appeared funny to me."

I shrugged and smiled. He gave a little laugh, "Well...It would be offensive to stare at them."

"Well. That's too nice."

"Well. You use too much 'well' when you speak."

"Well. I can't help it."

"Well... That's exceptional."

After few minutes of silence, he finally spoke.

"I observed you."

"What?"

"I observed you and I came up with a final result."

I was still processing what he just said, I didn't know how to respond. My face was expressionless. He rubbed his hand on the back of his neck.

"I will like to know it."

"You find it difficult to communicate with others but once you do, you can be talkative and friendly."

He gazed towards my eyes. I smiled and shook my shoulders.

"And you are adapting with this environment, you might be from a whole another world. And don't worry you will be successful with an assistance of a friend."

I thought he was referring to him as 'a friend' but then he said,

"Like Mai, a friend like Mai."

I nodded and gave a little laugh, our food came shortly after that.
I dug the fork in my paste and put it in my mouth, chewing the delicious macaroni, I glanced towards Alexander, who was drinking his beer.

"So are you coming?", I asked, he was probably thinking something, he was confused for some time.

"Oh... I told you. "

"You are coming."

I laid a little stress on my words and raised my eyebrows.

"Fine, I will go."

He said in a polite voice and started to smile, which felt quite surprising. I glanced at him suspiciously.

"I am sorry for forcing you, You don't have to go if you don't want to. I didn't mean to be rude.", I said as I thought he was smiling, for this reason, I turned my gaze towards him and took another bite lowering my head.

"No, it's not like that. It's just... You. I mean. You just reminded me of her."

"Oh!"

I said confused like an idiot. He nodded and started to have his food.

After finishing our food, I thought we were going to divide the bill, but he cut it off.

"Jesus Christ, I invited you. I should be the one to pay."

"But--"

"Well... You ought to listen to your therapist."

We walked out of the restaurant. I few distances away stood an ice-cream parlor. I whirled to face him with a smile.

"Do you want to have ice-cream?"

"Well.."

"Oh come on, But wait I am going to pay for it."

"But--"

"Well. Sometimes you ought to fulfill your patient's request."

I winked at him and he laughed with his hands in his pocket and started walking with me, "So is this like a date?"

"Unless. You want it to be."

I shouldn't have asked that. I nodded. His tone was quite gentle, but wait. What if. He is angry. I turned to look at him to see his face. He seemed okay he winked at me. He is my therapist and there should be some boundaries between us but, why do I feel that I am trying to cross those limitations.

I shrugged and folded my arms.

"Good night."

We stood in front of my door. He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled at me, which appeared more of a shy smile to me.

I think stupid of myself for misjudging him at first. He is nice.

"I had a great time," I said with a nod and reached my purse to take out my keys.

"Well. To me, It seems like ages since I had a lovely night like this."

I dropped the keys back in the purse when I heard him. His tone was different than the usual tone he never used before, it sounded as if he was flirting. I looked up towards him.

To be honest, I wanted him to kiss me, now. I stare at his lips, his beautiful lips, which were curved in a smirk.

He leaned towards me, my heart started to beat, his face just a few cm away from my

"Sweet dreams, Ray."

He whispered, coming back to his normal position, keeping his hands in his pocket, he walked away.
