Like megan promised, we went to Santa Claus Ln, there was a long brown building I saw a taco bell shop, a clothing store, and on the right there was a separate building with a large sign bearing pizza hut. but we entered the first cafe on the left, which read The Country cafe.
Megan said she dared to buy us there because the cafe belonged to her uncle, so she could get a discount of up to 50%. I'm tired of pizza and tacos.
Megan freed us up ordering food to taste, but we ended up compacting Korean bulgogi sandwiches that looked so delicious just from the pictures on the menu.
grace gave a stifled cry as she looked at the cafe door, "astaga ara, she's really an accomplished stalker".
I looked at the direction of his gaze, of course I could guess who was coming, only this time Christian came with his father, and a beautiful woman like an angel.We were amazed, I realized my mouth was gaping at that incredible sight.
the woman, long blonde, her eyes are gray, with bold but natural makeup.I don't know how pretentious I am to comment on someone's makeup when I don't know about makeup.
at first they were about to sit in a corner seat, but christian seemed to deliberately circulate his gaze, and our eyes met.
I immediately turned away, my face heated up, and my hands trembled.
"ra" grace grimaced. I glanced at "what?".
" anu, they're here".
"hahhhh!?" I was planning to run away, but Grace was holding me back, she shook her head.
I felt my chest swell, my breath roar, and my heart was skipping inside my chest cavity.I felt like I wanted to have the power to eliminate myself right now.Grace continued to rub my back.
"hello", the beautiful woman smiled at us, we politely replied to her.
" may we join?" when he said it, christian would sit in the chair next to me. We just went three, so there was a little more room for 3 extra seats.
"christian!" hardik the beautiful woman, it looks like she's her older sister. "not very polite," she glared but unfortunately. I blinked her eyes, she was so graceful.christian just grinned the horse. then the woman and the jhon costel sat across from us.
"meet me, I'm isobel stevens", he smiled warmly, his eyes were so shady. "i'm the eldest son of the costel family, you may be confused as to why my last name is not costel"
I nodded in curiosity.
"i use my mother's maiden name, she still uses her maiden name, because my father's name is too influential, while we want to start a career on our own feet"
"good reason, dear" John reprimanded his daughter "because no one knows that I have a very smart daughter".
Actually, me, grace and megan were like fools sitting in three rows.We didn't know what to comment on, it was like watching the reunion of a beloved father and daughter.
"stop you two freaking them out, brother", christian looks upset.
" really?" john asked, then looking at the expressions the three of us finally understood.
"alright, I have a job at the forks, so you guys just go ahead with your fellow youngsters".then he gave me a business card.
" arabella, I probably know a lot about your mom and dad. If you're ready, you can call me directly, okay?"
I looked at John seriously, I don't know why I could read his eyes,
"there's something I need to tell you".
I nodded, not feeling strange about the telepathy I received just now.
john got up, kissed his daughter's cheek once then waved as it passed away.The situation somewhat melted away as he disappeared from behind the door.
" well, you can relax now" said Christian who tried to melt the atmosphere.
"eh anu, my mom called" Megan picked up her phone that rang since.
"mom, "megan looks at her watch, "astaga,oke mom, sorry I forgot". "okay, okay"
"guys" Megan's face was so unwell, "my mother was waiting for me, I promised to take her somewhere, sorry".
" its okay, go meg, don't make your mom wait".
"thank you ara, I'll pay for our food first"
christian gets up, holds megan's hand. "let me, "
megan said "i promised".
" and don't make me like a shameless man"
"i'll just pay for the food the three of us" Megan insisted.
"plis meg, go, let's just say you owe me"
megan was upset to see her watch again, she was too late. "okay, just watch out for you messing around" she told Christian about the debt today.
christian just smiles winning.megan went. grace sat back and enjoyed the juice. I looked at him in disbelief, could-be he was that relaxed, while my butt started to heat up.
"ara", isobel holds my hand, I smile "yes?"
"you're so pretty, it's worth Christian going crazy about you"
I was red, my ass was hotter, and I was agitated.I wanted to run away but not feel good.
christian lightly embraced my shoulder and whispered, "just relax baby, he won't bite you"
I glared at christian, "honey, sweetie, your head!!",
" you are like tom and jerry" said the amused isobel.
"you're not even flattered when I say christian is crazy about you ra?" tanyanya.
I raised my shoulders, "not an achievement I can be proud of "
"oo you're gonna fall for me, believe me", Christian was so confident. I rolled my eyes off guard.
" i can't dodge christian, you're the most handsome guy I've ever met, but to be honest you're so annoying".
isobel is chuckling now, even curled up.
"hoo my stomach hurts".she waved her hand in surrender.
" are you so happy, brother?" christian is upset
"he's really plain and honest christian, I really like him! you got my blessing!".
" what!?" me and Grace were shocked.so christian deliberately invited isobel to get acquainted with me to ask for his sister's approval?, really outrageous.
but to be honest I also like isobel, he looks mature, graceful, intelligent, authoritative and motherly.If I had a sister who can be invited to gossip and shop, be a friend vent when I'm heartbroken. long life as an only child made me miss my siblings even though I now have aunt Lily and grace.
"remember Ra, my sister has never had a lover in her entire existence, I guarantee that she is still original and you are love at first sight".
isobel laughs amusedly as if remembering something "although at first sight when you are choosing menstrual pads together" .
grace's laughter exploded, "astaga ra, you haven't told me!"
"it doesn't matter grace, don't embarrass me",
" it should be christian who is ashamed of ra", grace is still out of the loop when there is nothing funny to me.
"don't frown again baby, let's accompany me shopping" isobel pulled my hand and I pulled grace,
christian suddenly disappeared like the wind, then returned again with a grin.
"enjoy the shopping, I'll wait at the parakeet".
" okay".
isobel took us to the dress shop next to the taco bell. The choice was not very complete.but isobel said he only needed daily clothes because he planned to move to the north pole for a while. he didn't want to carry a lot of suitcases, so he bought them here.
during shopping, isobel continued to chat about his experience while in Paris, he special school fashion designer as told by grace the other day.
"you know, ra, it's like I've heard your name called someone somewhere, but I forgot where, because I've been traveling to several countries attending famous fashion shows",
" no need to remember the bell, maybe a lot of people with the same name as me" I said lazily.
"you're right, "he said, holding up a piece of jeans cut bray, I think it fits perfectly with his legs.
"i think it's perfect for your feet" I said, while Grace went nowhere.
" i love this, I'll take two. one for you and one for me".
"no need" I dodged.
"don't argue with Ra, this is an order not an option".
I resigned, because isobel threatened not to talk to me again if I refused.
" well, get some free clothes" I said half cheerfully, because I'm not the type of person who likes to buy clothes.
"you're really fun", isobel kissed me on the cheek once, then pranced around in spirit.
I am happy to minimize the problem in front of me, so I will just obey like a buffalo dipped in his nose.
half an hour alone with isobel, grace came out of nowhere.he brought 2 burgers, 2 bags of french fries, and two diet coke.I asked where he got it from, I asked him where he got it, he said Christian had asked him to come along and buy all that, scraping information about me.
grace behaves normally while telling stories, because she's just as much as I'm not too interested in men.
"why isn't isobel bought, too?" I asked while chewing the burger, but it had already eaten but apparently I was not full.
"karna christian knows I didn't eat all that ra, biaa ruined my diet later", isobel returned with ten bags of groceries.
" let's go home", take her later
"eeehh, I brought my own car bell", I said nervously, afraid he was offended.
" i know my dear, I'll come to your house".
*but christian?"
"he's gone ra, "grace answered
"i threw him out, I wanted to spend a pajama party with my future brother-in-law",
ooh god, isobel is fun, but he's as confident as christian.
