chapter 27

Thea Just like he said yesterday that he would come to fetch me at ten in the morning, here is it, but not at ten in the morning but at eleven, and I am still in my pyjamas, completely messed up, and of course I slept in. "You're going out with this?" He said when He's in my house "You know I didn't care because you look so cute and hot in those pyjamas." Cute? Hot? Is he dreaming or what? I totally look like a mess, and he can say that I'm hot and cute? Oh, by the way, I called and texted you, but you didn't reply. I swear I stand here for like an hour waiting for you to open the door." I felt so guilty when he said it. "I'm so sorry. I'm in a really deep sleep, I guess. I'm going to take a very quick shower." I said to him: I ran to my room and immediately got into the bathroom. I brush my teeth, wash my face, and scrub my body. Then, after a few minutes, I get out of it. When I want to walk to my wardrobe, I see there are clothes on my bed. I walk to it to see, and it seems like someone just put it on. Is Joseph choosing the outfit for me while I'm in the shower? I shrug and wear it. At least he has good taste in clothes. He picked something similar to his outfit. When I look at the clothes he picked for me, I can guess that we're going on a casual date. He picked blue jeans, a white shirt, and a black cardigan. I look at myself in the mirror and then pair it with my black Converse. I make my hair a bit wavy and apply some make-up. I wear the necklace that my parents got me, and then, when I think that I'm ready, I leave my room to see him talking on his phone with someone. I clear my throat, and he eyes me from my hair until my feet, then smiles. He said something on his phone and then put his phone in his pocket before walking to me. "You look great, dear." He said that and entwined our fingers. We walk out of the house, and when we're walking in the lobby, the people there just stare at me and Joseph. I feel embarrassed, but when I look at him, he just makes a cool face. "What's the plan for today?" I ask him as soon as we're in the car. "You'll see, dear, And I know you'll love it. But before that, We're going to eat lunch first." He said that and started to drive. When we finish our lunch, he drives us to... I don't know where he's going to bring me, but I hope I'll like it. After a few minutes of driving, he finally parked his car, and I looked around to see that he had brought me to the zoo. "It's a Zoo." I said to him: It's been so long since I last went to a Zoo because the last time I went was when I was twelve, and that was with my parents. I hold my necklace in my hand and then smile. "Let's go. I can't wait to see the animals." I opened the door before he could walk in and open it for me. He held my hand, and we queued to buy the tickets before getting into the Zoo. There aren't a lot of people, which is good because we don't have to wait for the tickets for an hour. When we get the tickets, we walk in, and I'm excited to see the animals. "Oh my god, look at the monkey. They're cute." I grab his hand and go closer to it. I love animals because they're cute and pampered. I looked at it, and when the zookeeper asked me if I wanted to give the monkey food, I nodded my head excitedly, walked a little bit closer to the little monkey, and gave him the banana. The monkey took it and ran away from me, maybe because he's a bit scared of me. I smiled, and when I turned around to look at Joseph, I found him taking a picture of me with his phone. I walked to him and said, You have to ask for permission if you want to take my picture. That's stealing, you know." I walk away, and he follows me. "I can't help it, dear; you were too cute when you gave the monkey that banana." He said it again, and again he entwined our fingers. I feel like I've already gotten used to it because it's not our first time holding it in public. We went to see many animals, and we even went to watch an animal show there. After that, I ask him to sit for awhile because my feet feel like they hurt because we've been walking for hours, or maybe even more, I think. "Do you want water? I can buy for you." I shake my head no. "Thanks for bringing me here. It's so much fun, thank you." He smiled at me. "Let's go somewhere more peaceful than here. Or maybe you still want to see the animals?" "I think I look so much like an animal for today. Let's get out of here then." With that, we walk out of the zoo and get into his car. He started the engine and drove to another place. When I look at my watch, it's already 3 p.m. Time flies so fast when I'm happy like this. "We're arrive." We get out of the car, and then I just realise that it's a botanical garden. Joseph really knows what I love and like. "I thought you were going to like it." He said. "I love it! Look at those flowers, so pretty." I take out my phone and take pictures of the flowers, and I look around me, which is surrounded by beautiful flowers. "No matter how beautiful all these flowers are, you're ten times more beautiful than them." I blush. After a few moments, We end up sitting on one of the benches there and just looking at the flowers. "Today's so fun. I really enjoy it." I said to him: "I'm glad you enjoy it." After he said that, we turned into silence. When I look at him, does he look kind of nervous? Why does he have to be nervous? "Thea." I look at him. "What?" I ask. "Can I ask you one question?" I nodded my head and turned my body to face him. He took a breath and looked at me. "Will you be my girlfriend?" What? Is he for real? He wants to be his GIRLFRIEND? Oh my god, how should I react? Do I have to say yes to him? "Thea? Oh, okay, I understand if you don't want me to be your boyfriend." "I will be your girlfriend." I cut him off and said that. Well, I like him, and he likes me too. So why not? "Really!? YES!!" That's a good thing that in this botanical garden there aren't too many people, so I just let him shout happily. He kisses me, and I kiss him back. I smiled between the kisses because I feel so happy now. We kiss for a minute, and then we look into each other's eyes. "You're my dear forever, and no one could ever take you from me from now on." He said, Kiss me again. Joseph The moment she said that she would be my girlfriend, I was so happy that no words could describe my feelings. I finally have her in my arms, and now I have a very big mission. It's to make her happy with me. "Let's go and eat. I'm hungry." She said, After we kiss. You are always hungry, but only for food, not for me." She smacked me at the back of my neck. "Ow!" "You know why I did that." She says she will walk first to the car. I like this kind of woman who acts like herself even when around guys. I'm so happy I got her; it feels like a dream. I drive us to the nearby restaurant, which is a steak house. I like steak, but I don't know if she likes it or not. "Is it okay to eat steak?" I asked when I parked my car in the empty spot. "It's really fine. I love steak, but it's just kind of expensive for me to eat it." She smile. Well, let's go then, dear." I got out of the car, and as usual, she opened the door herself. "Dear, wait up." She walked inside the restaurant without waiting for me. She must be so hungry. When we get our table, the waiter asks what we want to eat, and I help her order the steak. When the waiter walks away, I smile and look at Thea in front of me. "What?" She asked me. "Nothing." "Then why are you staring at me like that?" "You're beautiful." Oh, please don't start." She said. "Start what?" "Your cheesy words." All the words that I said to you, I meant them." Really dear." "Fine. Thanks." "I'm glad you're my girlfriend now." "I'm glad you're my boyfriend now." I take her hand and kiss it. "That means you have the same feeling as me. Right." She smiled cutely at me. I smile, and her back feels great after I know that she likes me too. Then our food arrived. We begin to eat it. Thea Today was so much fun. Everything good happened in one day. One: We went to the zoo. Two: We went to the botanical garden. And... Three: He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes! That means he's my boyfriend now. Every time I think about it, I just can't believe that I'm taken by him, Joseph Sanchez. Am I dreaming? "Dear, what are you thinking?" He asked me. We're already home—his house, to be specific—because he insists on saying goodbye to me. "Dear?" "Can you pinch my cheeks?" I face him, and he looks at me confused. "Just pinch it." I take his hands and put them on my cheeks. "What if I pinch it too hard? Gonna hurt you, you know." "That's fine. Hurry up." With that, he pinches my cheeks, and I scream because it hurts. But that doesn't mean I'm not dreaming! This is reality. "I told you, dear. I'm sorry." He kissed one of my cheeks and then pecked my lips. "Its fine. Not that hurt, actually." Why did you ask me to do that, though?" "Because I just feel like I'm dreaming." He kissed me. "You're not, dear, you're not." He kisses me, and we kiss until we're out of breath. ____________________________________ How's chapter 27? Don't be shy, and tell me what you feel about this chapter!
