A bouquet of Tulips, my favorite, is waiting for me at my table on that Monday morning. No card, just flowers. This must not be from Ed, he never asks someone to delivers, he gave it by himself. Not from Lance either, he'd rather gave me a bread than a flower. No idea, and no plans in looking for that sender. Some of my clients, and those who I had my blind dates before, also sent me flowers, so I'm used to this. If he wants to be known, thank you, I would appreciate that. But if he doesn't, then its fine.
The following day, another bouquet of tulips arrived, still with no card, until it became daily. Jessica, is so excited. My office becomes a flower shop. A scent of garden, like a prairie in a forest, sweet, heavenly and amazing.
Today, is Monday, the tulips have arrived, and an invitation from Matt for the launching of his new commercial product this coming weekend. I'm not in the mood, and the place is too far, in Washington. A 20 hours ride from LA, hell no. And I don't want to have another encounter with Aeon. I called him right after receiving his invitation, and politely decline. I knew he would understand.
Thursday night came, Lance barged inside my house and asked if he can sleep over, not that he has a problem, but he said he just misses me and love to have my company. I wouldn't mind. I used to do this before, especially those times that I needed someone like him. He might be burn out from he's babies.
However, around four in the morning, I thought he's already leaving for the opening of his shop, but he's also fixed in waking me up. I thought to be dreaming when I heard voices inside my house, not only one but more, until he picks me up and throw me in the tub. I'm really mad at him, for disturbing my sleep. All I know is I made a shower, dress to whatever clothes he gave, and get inside to whoever car it is, then sleeps.
The next thing I knew, was when my alarm started to rang at half past six in the morning, and I am already inside a car, in a road, to only god knows where. I don't understand, am I kidnap? But no blindfold, and I can see everyone with me. There's a six of us and a driver in an enclosed van.
Oh my god, wait! Why is Matt, Chris, Bern and Aeon here. My heart starts to tighten, my vision starts to blur. Lance is the one beside me and everyone is sleeping. I tried to calm down, as much as I want answers, and ask the driver to stop the car, I decided to text Jessica, that I'm not feeling very well, and will just take a day off today.
It was nine when I was awakened by Matt and Bern loud voices, I look at Lance, and he just sheepishly smiled back at me. Lance knew when I'm in a bad mood, and not to face my wrath. He just quietly sat beside me as I tried to massage my temples from this terrible headache.
My head is already resting in a comfortable shoulder the next time I stir from my deep slumber. I'm really planning to sleep in this entire trip. He might sense that I'm already awake, an advil is handed to me which I gladly accepted, only to find out that it was Aeon. No strength to make any nasty comments, I pretended that nothing happened.
A stop over was made, for us to have a lunch, I refused and choose to sleep but Matt and Bern drag me outside until I finally gave in.
Sorry Celine. Please don't be mad. Lance started.
Thank you, Baby for coming with me today. Matt added.
Cheer up Celine, we'll make sure that this trip will be fun. An excited Bern said.
Right, we'll take care of you don't worry. Chris promised
Aeon, no reaction.
I didn't react either as I have nothing to say.
You eat Celine, or else Matt and Lance will eat those for you. Chris said.
Remember the time before your debate, Aeon bought you with all those foods but Matt swipe everything. Hahaha! Bern reminded us.
Baby please eat, I'll feed you if you want.
You eat that Celine, or else you'll have no energy later. Aeon speaks for the first time.
Just like that day when he put a food on her plate. How sweet of you Ae. Matt teases.
Matt, Lance you can have it. I don't mind. I'm not in a mood to eat. Sorry.
No Celine, at least bite some. You haven't eaten since this morning. I'm sorry, I needed to do it, because for sure, you'll not come.
It's fine Lance, I'm not mad. I'm just annoyed. I forgive you.
Yehey!
Just like that, I took a bite and the food was again eaten by Matt and Lance, like the old times. Lance happily returned back to the seat beside me, I can't stay annoyed at him or to them forever.
We still have 12 more hours to go. The ride became fun because of their constant boasting and corny jokes. Its tiring but overall, its good. And I found out Lance already pack a bag for me. These idiots, this trip was really well planned and executed perfectly. Oh God!
