Love is Second

18. Preparation for the Party.

Norra and Rose stared at the new look of their cake shop. They even now have a store nameplate that is clearly displayed outside. Indeed, with this renovation, the hallmark of the legendary store that has stood for decades is no longer visible.

That was why Allen asked Norra for old photos of the store, and moved almost everything into a few frames, so that it could be displayed on the shop wall.

Rose gently touched the end of the shop wall with a nano-eye look. Inwardly, she again asked the late husband for his blessing, in order to run the store well.

"You're sorry?" allen asked, when he found Norra silent on the spot.

Norra reflexively shook her head. "No. It's just, I'm not used to it. There are too many memories here. Yesterday, I could still imagine the figure of a father in every corner of the store. I can still see his old bike parked right there." The girl pointed at the corner of the shop. "However, now it feels a bit difficult.

Allen smiled knotingly. He immediately embraced Norra's waist and hugged her warmly.

Norra looked at Allen and returned her smile. The girl's hand then clasped the mother's hand tightly.

Rose reflexes looked at the two. While wiping away the drop of tears that had flowed down her cheeks, the woman exclaimed in excitement.

...**********...

"Welcome party?" Norra stopped eating, upon hearing Allen's invitation to come with her to Clara's show.

The man had thought through the cooking and decided to invite the lover. He hoped that, by inviting Norra, Clara would no longer behave recklessly.

"How's it?" Allen asked back. His hands gently cleaned the food scraps on Norra's lips.

"Thank you" said Norra. "All right, I'll." A smile was on the pretty face of the girl.

...**********...

Norra suddenly widened her eyes when Allen came home with a fancy dress suit, which she had just bought from a subscription boutique.

Initially, Norra refused Allen's gift, because she felt bad. How not, the dress is an expensive dress that he can not even buy, despite collecting his salary for a year.

"Don't waste your money on unimportant things!" exclaims Norra upset.

"For you, mom, and Willy, it's all important to me" Allen replied.

"This thing can't be returned, and I don't mean to compare your dresses." Allen shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, then, I throw it away" the man said, shaking his head, muttering about the money he spent.

Finding the beautiful dress Allen was about to throw away, Norra rushed to ban it. "Well, I'll wear it!"

Allen smiled widely and immediately handed the dress over. Seeing the excitement of the princess and her lover, Rose just laughed and asked Norra to quickly change clothes.

"She was a little chatty about money. You must understand, son Allen." Rose laughed a little.

Allen nodded. "It seems like I'm getting used to it, Mom," she said humorously.

Fifteen minutes later, Norra came out of her room in a dress that Allen had given her.

Allen was stunned to see Norra's figure was very different from usual. The girl looked hundreds of times prettier in Allen's eyes. If there was no mother there, Allen would have destroyed the makeup that Norra had worked so hard to wear, with his kisses.

"Why? I'm weird, aren't I?" asked Norra, who was perplexed by Allen's gaze.

"You're beautiful, honey. Your lover is just too fascinated." Hearing Rose's apology, Allen came to a realization. He scratched his head shyly.

Rose chuckled, while Norra grimaced in embarrassment as well.

The two hurried away, and asked Rose not to wait.

Along the way to the end of the alley, Norra had to endure a shy blush, when she passed by neighbors who praised her beauty. He even pulled Allen's hand to rush a step.

Allen just laughed in response to Norra's playful behavior.

Once they got in the car, Allen could easily steal the lover's kiss.

"My lipstick will disappear later!" exclaimed Norra exasperated with a flushed face, when clearly she was wearing lipstick mate.

"No problem. To me, you're still pretty" Allen said.
