Chapter 12

Miranda

I'm a bit exhausted as I lay on my bed,really very weak but somehow having a smile on my face as the thought of Dora and Gabriel having the night all to themselves, so romantic. I was tired but still couldn't sleep, I lay with my back facing the ceiling,my hands at the back of my head. My phone vibrated but I was too lazy to check it, i felt it would be one of those service notifications I get almost everyday but my instinct tells me to check, so I got up from the bed,walk tiredly to where my phone was on the table, pressing the power button and my phone comes to light. It was message from an unknown number.

"Hmmm. Unknown number " I said to myself and shrugged. I opened the message and read.

Unknown number: hmm. hey. I know it's weird somehow that I'm texting, well it's me Raphael, your manager.

I really don't know if I should reply this or call, but how did he get my number?, why was he texting me?,or is something wrong?, hmmm? I'm I going to be............
Too many question in my head as I held my phone in my hand staring at it, then my phone rang. It's Raphael.

"Hey. Hello" I could hear his nervous voice.

"Yeah. Good day sir" I replied, scratching my forehead.

"Really, you should stop with this sir of a thing when it's just you and I" wow, now I feel the fluttering of the butterflies in the air.

"Oh..I'm sorry sir. Fuck." We both laughed. "I'm sorry really"

"It's okay though. Can I ask you something"

"Sure you can" I replied, cocking a brow even though he can't see me.

"Hmm...uhn..can we hang out?" he asked and my mouth flew open.

"You mean right now?" I asked. I know every part of me wants to be with him, even if it has to be now,I really want to.

"Yeah, now, maybe or......"

"No. Really it's fine, I will just get dressed"

"OK, i will come pick you up, send your address "he says, my head is spinning, like he's really coming to pick me.

"No. I can take the bus, I really don't mind"

"No,you won't, I will pick you up, get dressed"

"Okay then" I said and he hang up.

I quickly text him the address to my place,and dropped my phone on the table. I really don't know where we are going, I should have asked, I'm really so dumb. I search through my clothes, seriously nothing looks good for tonight, I just really need to change my wardrobe, I need new or maybe more clothes. I took out a black simple top and a light blue jean, I wore it and walked to mirror to do a simple make up,I was just on the last part of my make up when my phone rang, I picked it up,it was Rapheal.

"Hey. I'm outside your building I guess"  he says.

"OK I'm coming " I picked up my mini shoulder bag and take in a deep breath before walking out of the room. I opened the door and saw him. He is putting on a white T-shirts with black stripes and a black jean, shirt really looks good on him cause it brings out his body features and white really looks cool on him.

"You look pretty tonight" He greets me.

"Thank you" I smile, shyly tugging my hair behind my ear.

We walked down to his car, he rushed quickly to open the passenger seat for me and I gave him a thankful nod with a smile and got in the car.  He drove us to an ice cream parlor, we got to the counter and I ordered for a cold yougurt while he ordered for an ice cream. We decided to walk around a bit.

"This is one of my favorite place" he said, taking a spoonful of ice cream up to his mouth.

"Hmmm... really, why if I may ask" I asked him, daring not to look at him, if I do, I might want to kiss those lips of his.

"Nothing really...... I just kinda chose it to be one of my favorite, you know it's cool and not to crowdy and it's a perfect place to be cool" he said and we both chuckled. "How do you like the yoghurt?" He asked me.

"I love it, I mean it's thick and very fresh. Cheers!" I raised my yoghurt up in the air and we both laughed. "Really with the taste of this hmmm, I would want to have a taste of their ice cream too"

"Yeah, I love the ice cream more, all flavors here are perfect, don't worry I will get you one before you leave"  he smiles.

"I wouldn't even want to resist that request and thanks in advance" we both laughed. I like the way we are along.

"Let's have a sit there" he pointed to a wooden bench. We both sat on the bench.

"This place is really nice, the breeze and all is just nice, I think I should add this place to my list too" I say tugging my hair behind my ear for the breeze wouldn't let it be.

"Yeah you should" he nodded, taking the last spoonful of ice cream before throwing the ice cream cup on the floor.

"I don't think you should be littering this place unless you want to help the cleaners with their job" I joked.

"But customers are always right ma" he shrugged in a babyish way. We were both laughing when my phone light up from my pocket and started ringing.

"Sorry please I have to pick this" taking an excuse before removing the phone from my pocket, it was Dora calling. "Hey babygirl"

"Fuck you idiot" she laughed. " You couldn't even tell me I was invited to my own date. For real how dare you"

"Don't worry sweetie, I will sure do the same on your wedding" I chuckled, Ralph was now looking at me.

"Fuck you! Love you!"

"Don't be loud fool, I love you too, enjoy your day" I hanged up, I'm happy she is happy. I could see Ralph fiddling with his fingers, if only I could know his thoughts. " Hmmm, that's actually my best friend" I tugged my hair behind my ears.

"Oh really that's a relief" he smiled. "I actually thought it was your..... You know....hmmm boyfriend"

I couldn't hold out, as I burst out laughing. "No..no.. seriously the last time I checked, I was single till date" we both laughed.

"I love you" He says, and my eyes flew opening.
