ROSALYN
"Daddy aren't you going to date, Daddy Jeff?"
"I already think about that but wouldn't be better that the three of us will go on a date?"
"I like that but it was still different if you two go together."
"So, you'll stay at Cathy's house until we pick you up?"
"I'm good with that."
"Then, I'll go and date your daddy."
I smile and nod at him. After I finished doing my assignment I go to bed early. The next day Daddy Jeff told me that he already notify Auntie Catherine and they said yes. While I was in the car I reviewed my notes once again since our first subject will be having a long quiz.
"Bye, my beloved daddies. I'll see you later, I love you."
"Bye, Rosalyn. I love you too."
"I love you, honey."
I wave my hand to them and watch the car leave. While I was holding my notebook the students I keep on seeing on the hallway were holding flowers or chocolates.
"So nice to receive gifts..."
"Good morning, Rosalyn!"
"Good Morning, Al. You look happy today, did something happen?"
"Oh, it was nothing. What are you doing?"
Then he looked at my notebook.
"I was reading my notes since we will be having a long quiz. I gotta go see you later, I need to focus on this one."
"Good luck."
"Thanks!"
While my classmates were busy talking about the hearts day, chocolates, flowers, and guys, and girls they like... I was focused on studying. What a boring life I have, huh?
Everyone went back to their chairs when our strict teacher enter our classroom.
"Good morning class."
"Good Morning, Miss."
"Remove the things on your tables and get paper and a ballpen. We will start the quiz after three minutes. Move."
"Ma'am, you'll continue the long quiz today?"
"Mr. Alwyn, did I forget to make it clear that we will be having a long quiz today?"
"No, Ma'am."
"Then why you are asking me such a stupid question?"
"I'm sorry, Ma'am."
"Tsk, even if it's Valentine's day today it is not a good reason not to resume the class and worse this quiz. Kids these days, Number one!"
After our long quiz ended she then started to continue the lesson. Our other teachers did give us a surprise quiz and when it was already lunch everyone was stressed.
"Rosalyn, I was told that Allen will wait for you in the garden."
Huh?
"Oh, o-okay. Thank you."
I said even though I was confused.
Did we plan to meet up today? I can't remember since I was focus on the quiz.
"Hmmm..."
"So, lucky."
"Hm?"
"Nothing."
When I did get into the garden I saw Allen sitting on a bench and when he stood up, I did see him clearly. He was holding a bouquet of red roses.
"What's with those roses?"
I ask him and he scratches his head.
"Happy valentine's day."
Then he handed the bouquet, the flowers blocked my sight of him so I tilt my head and asked him.
"Are you going to court me now?"
I raised my eyebrows at him and he smirked.
"No."
"I see. This is for me right?"
I asked once again and he nod.
"Yes."
"Such a grand gift for a friend."
I teased him and I saw his smile slightly fade, but in just a second his smile got bigger when he look at me.
"We'll, you're special to me."
I ignore it when his ears turned red. I didn't see anything. This is purely a gift for a friend. That's all.
"Thanks, but I don't have a gift for you."
"It's fine."
"No, that won't do. Hm. What about such a privilege to take a picture with me?"
"Haha, is having a picture with you that expensive?"
"Yes. So, that will suffice as my gift to you. Just kidding!"
I laughed and accepted the flowers.
"Thank you for the flowers. I like it."
"Then let's take a picture now."
"I was just joking okay."
"You can't take it back now let's take a picture."
"Are you serious? I'm haggard! I don't want to!"
"Now smile."
I laugh when he did poke me. I did protest to delete it but he won't let me, after I did brush my hair and did put some powder on my face, Allen take me a picture and he ask for my permission If he could post the photo.
I said yes since his Instagram was private. He did send our pictures and after choosing one of them I did make it as my profile.
"We look cute here."
"Right."
"This flower looks lovely and the chocolates were superb. Thank you, Al."
"Welcome. I was planning to give you a sunflower bouquet since you look like a ray of sunshine but I did change it since I do remember your name in rose."
"I won't fall for that."
"Heh."
"To pay you back, what about a dinner?"
"I'm good with it."
"Then let's meet at the Westgate Steakhouse. I want some steak tonight."
"Isn't steak a bit too much, when I treat you back then it was just a Ramen."
"I did enjoy ramen though. So now let's go with steak."
"If you say so."
"Then let's meet there later."
When the class ended I texted dad that I will eat dinner outside and he said okay to it. After informing Jasmin that I won't be able to stay in their house since I will go dinner outside, I did prepare a dress that I want to wear tonight. It took me minutes to finally get the look I wanted today and when I was fully satisfied I then go straight to Westgate Steakhouse.
Allen was waiting for me there and when I approached him he smiled sweetly at me. I can't really fall for that.
"You're already here."
"I'm not late, right?"
"No, you're just on time. I also just got in here."
I sighed in relief after I saw the time.
"It took me hours to prepare."
"That is why you look a little bit different. You look good in red, Rosalyn."
"Really? That's good to hear. Thank you."
"Let's go now?"
Allen asked and offered his hand. I then held it and nod.
"Yeah."
After getting a seat we immediately order, It was good that we get a seat. The steakhouse was so full today since it was hearts day.
Everyone is sure In love.
"Good thing that we get here before they cut the customers."
He said and I agreed.
"Before I get here I saw an ice cream shop there, let's also try that."
"Sure. Ah by the way Rosalyn, I forget to ask this a while ago, last night I thought you'll attend the party of Reese? I was waiting for you."
"Oh, so you did attend?"
"Yeah."
"Did I forget to tell you that I have an important meeting that night?"
"Yes."
"Gosh, I'm sorry. Last night was stressful but I still did enjoy it."
He just nod and didn't ask about it again.
"What about my birthday party, you will attend right?"
"When is your birthday again?"
"February 27."
"I'll check my schedule if I'm not that busy on 27."
I said as I look at my phone. I was just teasing him and it was effective because I saw him pout his mouth.
"Are you serious?"
"I'm just joking! Of course, I'll attend I promise I won't miss it. So, what is your theme for your upcoming party?"
"It was my dad's plan and it was a formal one."
"Like I will wear fancy dress?"
"Haha, yes."
"Oh, I won't fit in that circle!"
"Same, I don't like being surrounded by them. They are so intimidating but I have no choice since that's what dad said."
"I see. I'll wait for your invitation then, if I showed that to daddy he will definitely say yes."
"Sure, even though my birthday was still far. I'm already looking forward to it."
"And you'll just notice that it was already your birthday."
We both laugh and we continue to talk about his life when our food was already served we take a few photos of it and ourselves.
"Look at the empty table next to us, they were already putting the food."
I pointed it out. They have so many orders.
"I think they ask for a reservation."
"Should we try that next time?"
"Yes, it looks- oh isn't that Nicholas?"
"Huh?"
"There. Oh, it's really Nicholas."
He pointed 'Nicholas' and when I look at the entrance I saw him and beside him was Jade who was clinging to his arms. Nicholas was wearing a black long sleeve and was tucked in his slacks, and beside him, Jade was wearing a black dress, and her blond hair was neatly curled.
"They look good together."
"Yeah. Jade was so pretty right?"
I'm so jealous of her.
"Yes. And you're friends with Nicholas right? Do you want to say hello to them?"
"No, they were on a date. Let's not disturb them."
"You're right."
I didn't look again at the next table beside us. Why did I have to see them again? Really, At times like this?
"Can we still eat Ice cream after this?"
"Of course, I have a space for dessert."
Allen then laughed and nodded his head.
"Ice cream was the best to eat at times like this."
Since I feel depressed all of a sudden. I really need that Ice cream.
"Next time let's try to order pasta. I know a place where pasta was superb."
"Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I should now start to list the foods I wanted to eat next time."
"Right, I'll also list it down when we got home. Then let's see the foods we both crave for."
While we are busy talking about random things I notice that Jade and Nicholas were not talking that much or pretty much to say that they were being awkward.
Then why the hell did they date when they are being like that!?
I tried to take a look but then I realize something.
I don't want to see them but crazy me wanted to know what they are doing... what they are talking about so... there is no doubt that I am really crazy.
I'm so stupid.
