Eventually

10. Past

Dinner went well! Yesterday, Brad picked me up and we went to his house together. When we got there, his Dad hasn't arrived yet so we talked in the living room with his Mom. She told me that Brad talked a lot about me. But they didn't tell me what was it about. I wonder....

Then his Dad came home and WOW. Did I ever tell you that Brad is really tall? He's like 6'1 and his Dad is taller than him. He's like big and well-built. I can see the similarities between Brad and his Dad too. Brad introduced me to him as his girlfriend and he said he knew already because he saw a picture of us in Brad's room. Lol

During dinner, we talked about so many things. Like Brad's Dad is also a doctor, and that is one of the reason why Brad wants to be a doctor too. His Mom used to work at a publishing company! I told her I want to be a writer and she said I could come anytime I want to talk about writing-related stuff with her. Heee

Oh and turns out it was their wedding anniversary today. His Dad bought a necklace as a gift for his Mom. They were really sweet. I was so happy for them. The fact that it was their anniversary and they invited me to the dinner just made me happier!

But, Brad seemed a little quiet during dinner. I could see the sadness behind his smile when he was watching his parents being sweet to each other.

When we arrived in front of my house, I asked Brad about it. Why he seemed quiet. He told me that he was just happy. He was cherishing the moment. I told him that someday, at that age, I want to be as sweet as his parents and mine. His response was, "Trust me. You don't want that."

I was confused and I asked him what did he meant by that. He just smiled and kept holding my hand. So I realized that maybe he hid something for me. Something that bothered him.

But I didn't want to push him. Not on this special day. So I just held his hand and said, "I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk."

He just smiled and hugged me. So I hugged him back while hoping that one day he will trust me enough to tell about all of the things that's been bothering him.
