NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: You were drunk
I tried catching my breath as I entered my room and leaned on the door after running 3 laps around my house. Apparently, my mom found out about me being drunk last night and since I woke up this morning she's been shouting and chasing me around the house.
"Hey you, I'm not done with you. Stop drinking. It's not good for your health. Why would anyone date a drunkard like you!!" Ugg! There she goes again yapping about dating. Her voice could be heard from downstairs and it seemed as if she was also tired since she stopped the wild goose chase.
I walked straight to my bed as I laid down. Suddenly, I recalled what happened yesterday and couldn't help but scold myself. Xiao Yue, you coward. What if he waited all afternoon. Out of curiosity I picked up my phone and sent Qin Liang some sorry messages awaiting his reply. Seconds passed turning into minutes and minutes turned to hours. Impatience took the better of me causing me to toss my phone and stand up to take a stroll around my room.
I came across a box where I kept memories and decided to relieve past memories again. There were some photos of me as a child, a middle schooler and a high schooler. Seeing my young self again made me chuckle a little. I had gone through most of the pictures and decided to keep it back when a picture slipped out.
'Oh' I muttered under my breath as I bent to pick it. My heart skipped a bit as I felt a sudden change of emotions. The photograph showed a man with a warm smile and kind eyes, holding a woman's hand. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I realized the man and woman standing in the photo were my mum and dad.
My father left when I was just a year old, there wasn't any memory of him stored in my head. The image of his face had already blurred out in my head, I could only recognize him because of the sudden resemblance between him and me and I once saw my mum staring intently at a photo of this same man.
Honestly, my mum had always been tight lipped about the past, she never mentioned anything about my father and anytime I asked she'll get angry. But as time passed I stopped thinking about him and moved on with life. And we seem to live a better life without dad, so I think this is for the best.
I immediately wiped my tears and kept the photo back in the memory box before going back to my bed. I checked my phone again and Qin Liang still hadn't replied. Argg! I tossed my phone and my eyes wondered around the room out of boredom until they met my bedside drawer and to my surprise the 'special someone' number was still there. I totally forgot! I should apologize to him and I also wanna see my saviour. I picked up my phone and called the number but it wasn't available.
After a couple tries, he finally answered;
Me: H-hello sir
Special someone: what!
Me: Do you perhaps remember me
Special someone: Yes! The accident woman. [cold tone]
Me: ok! Can we meet up?
Special someone: Why
Me: Can we just meet up now?
Special someone: No! only if you tell me the reason
Me: I'll tell you when we meet up
Special someone: You're wasting my time
Me: please!!…
Special someone: Ok sure! I'm giving you 2 minutes to arrive here
Me: Where are you?
Special someone: Romeo and Juliet restaurant, seat 24. You have 1 min to arrive here.
Me: But you said 2 min...…[hangs up]
'Romeo and Juliet restaurant, seat 24'... hmm... reminds me of Qin Liang. Argg! mum I'll never forgive you. But why Romeo and Juliet restaurant of all places? is he there with his girlfriend? Did I just ruin their date?
