Dn returned just when ir wasing down the stairs with her bags. “Let me help you with that,” he offered. She was to tired, so she let him. “What are you carrying in here?” He said as he took the bag from her. “We are only going to be away for a week, not a month.”


    “Everything in that bag is very important,” she told him. “And that’s not all, there’s another bag still up in the room.” He shot her a look, but she onlyughed, enjoying herself.


    “Are you guys leaving already?” Donna asked when she saw ir, who had juste down from the stairs.


    “Yeah,” ir said giving her a quick hug. “I guess it’s still next week then.”


    “ir, where are you!” Dn shouted from outside.


    “I better go now, before hees and drags me out himself.”


    “You guys have an amazing time!” Donna waved as they drove off.


    ir had her head phones on, listening to one of Erin’s asmr, the one she had specially rmended to ir. In just the first minute, ir had to admit that she was feeling more rxed and even sleepy. Two minutester she was fast asleep, snoring softly.


    That was her position till Dn finally woke her up. “ir, get up. We’ve arrived at the airport.” She made a loud snort sound as response and was about to go to sleep, when she felt some cold liquid, running down her face, heading to her ears.


    ~~~


    “You own this ce?” ir asked him as he drove in. Though it had really simr looks with their house back home, ir still had her mouth wide open. There really was not much different between both houses, she wasn’t surprised since it was owned by the same person, the major difference was the house back home looked more modernized.


    Dn chuckled. “Thank you? The house belonged to my grandfather, he left it for me in his will. I only like it because it’s close to the beach.”


    “Oh, I would never go to the beach,” she told him. “I have a big fear of deep waters. The ocean is the worst and most dangerous ce on Earth, the ocean and space, but space is far away, so I’ll go with the ocean.”


    “What’s so scary about the ocean?”


    “What’s not scary about the ocean? It’s like dark and evil and to make matters worse, we haven’t even discovered half of what might be there and… Oh, just the thought of it has my skin breaking out.”


    Dn chuckled. “Calm down, before. you rub off your Thssophobia on me.” She eyed him, punching his arm yfully and there she froze, ir realized that she just had a conversation with Dn with no negativity behind their tones.


    Her arms dropped to her sides, she moved to get out of the car. “I’ll get my bags.” She left leaving Dn staring at the spot she had just been at, also thinking about what had just happened.


    “Sure,” he muttered.


    ~~~


    Later that evening, like his mother had instructed, Dn was to take ir out for dinner. He kept telling himself he was doing this things for his mother, but he couldn’t help but feel touched at hkw ir’s face lit up when he had told her about the dinner nsOriginal content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Oh wow, this ce is beautiful,” irplimented as they took their seat. “I sure the food here must be really good and expensive.”


    “Or just trash and expensive,” Dn said. “You think peoplee here because of the food?” Heughed. “I would rather grab something from the street than this. This,” he waved his index finger round. “Is just for show. Just to feel big, rich, slightly better than anyone else.”


    “So, if the food isn’t good then why are we here? Can’t we go grab dinner somewhere else?”


    “We can, but we won’t. Just rx and enjoy yourself. It’s not that bad, it’s just not so good, the main aim is for you to get satisfied.”


    “I would also like to enjoy it,” ir muttered as a male waitress approached them. He was young, probably still in college. When he stopped he smiled at ir first before his eyes moved to Dn. “Hello,” she greeted sitting up.


    “Hi, I would-” He stopped when a watch on his right wrist let out a bleeping sound. “Oh, I’m sorry. I have to go, someone else will be here to take your orders.”


    “Bastard,” ir heard Dn said when he was gone.


    “Hey, calm down, okay? He just said someone else would attend to us. I’m sure it’s not going to-”


    “I don’t care who us going to attend to us, did you see the way he was looking at you? Like he wanted to undress you with his eyes. Now, that’s just disrespectful.”


    “I don’t have a problem with it.” She shrugged. “Why, are you jealous?”


    “You wish.”


    Few minutester, they had another waiter attending to them. “Sorry for the dy,” the waitress said. “I’m ready to take your orders.”


    “Oh, I haven’t even gone through the menu yet,” ir said. “Uh… I’ll need a little time to decide.”


    “No problem,” thedy said kindly. “If you are not ready, you can just push the bell whenever you are and I would be right there waiting.” Though she had said that with a smile, ir couldn’t help but feel guilty, she began to go through the menu, but stopped when she heard Dn speak.


    “I don’t have the time to go through this. I’ll have… How about this,” He leaned forward, “you serve me whatever you think is best, I’ll take anything you bring up.” ir frowned, as she watched the two. She felt insulted, even if Dn had no feelings for her, she felt the least he could do was respect her while in public.


    The girl looked nervously from ir to Dn, probably thinking the same thing. She finally smiled. “Sure, I’ll do just that. What about your sister what will she have?”


    Oh, this was getting fun.
