Chapter 3
Mia's POV
I woke up to my alarm ringing. Groaning I wake up. I rub my eyes to get off from my sleep. Soon I realised what happen yesterday. I can't believe anything. It felt like a dream. But I know it's not by the way my sister is squealing downstairs.
The scary man is going to be family. Gosh I should really stop with 'scary man'. You cannot blame me though. He really is scary. I shook my head as I went to take my shower. After doing my morning routine I grabbed a pink summer dress with a white shoe and a white bag pack and got ready for school.
I went down to greet my family. My mum gave me breakfast which I quickly start to eat. "Mia, come back home early would ya. The Mariano's are coming to have dinner with us." My dad said. I saw my sister smiling dreamily. I instantly tensed. I just nodded my head at him. "Also you and Olivia would be going shopping." My mum said.
I groaned while my sister squealed. I love my sister and all but gosh I hate shopping with her. I wanted to protest but one glare from my mum, I shut my mouth. I quickly ate my breakfast and left.
My sister and I took her car to the mall. All the way to the mall my sister kept talking about her fiancé while I just nodded my not wanting to be rude by keeping quiet. My sister and I are quite opposite. She is the popular girl while I try not to be.
I do not like the attention. But since my sister and I studied at the same school, I automatically became the popular girl. I tried to change the topic rather than the scary man. But somehow Olivia kept going back to him.
Giving in I just continue nodding at her. Soon we were in the mall. Olivia practically dragged me into the shopping mall. Great. Note the sarcasm.
Olivia was dragging me into each shop. She already had 9 bags in her hands. I on the other hand had not bought anything and if I go home empty hands, my mum will kill me. We went into one of the cute boutique. It had fairy lights and looked very beautiful. As I entered I spot a cute pink dress.
It had a gold belt in the middle and also looked quite simple. Just the way I liked it. I grabbed it and paid for it. After grabbing our bags, I was exhausted and hungry. "Oli, I am hungry. Can we get something to eat." I whined. " Sure. Let's go." Once she said that I felt happy and grinned.
She brought me to a restaurant that was looked expensive but she said its better here. I just shrugged and followed. As long as I get food I am ok with it. Once we were served with a table we quickly settled down and started to order our food. While my sister ordered for salad I ordered a burger with fries.
As the waiter came he took our order and sent me a wink and went off. I started to blush and Olivia started to squeal. "He is cute. And is interested in you." she said as she smirk at me. I just swat her off and stick my tongue at her and started to laugh at our childishness.
I felt as if someone was staring at me. I looked around me and saw two brown eyes staring at me. I gulped and looked away. Yet I felt his eyes continuously burn holes in my back.
"OMG. Mia, Damien is here." she squealed. The way this girl scream, I am definitely going to get my ear drums exploded. I just started to fidget in my steps. Soon he was at our table hovering above us.
"Hi Damien." Olivia stated as she batted her eyelashes. Seriously? Get some dignity woman! I did not dare look up at him and wished the floor would eat me up. I shrink back into my chair and pretend I was not here.
I felt him nod his head at Olivia."I did not know you were coming." Olivia stated. I have a feeling she knew. "I came to have lunch with a friend. And he couldn't make it so I am going back." he said almost as a whisper. It was sharp and stern.
I was concentrated in his voice I did not realise what he said. Yay he was going back. I was doing a happy dance in my head.
"oh, why don't you join us?" Olivia stated. I froze. ' please say no, please say no' I was praying in my head. "Sure." he said as he drag a chair that was beside Olivia and set down. I mentally face palmed. He quickly ordered his food and both of them started to talk to each other. Not really interested with their conversation I started to zone out.
I keep feeling his stares at me but I tried not to be bothered by that. Soon our order came. I was starving. The waiter who came just now served our food. He kept staring and I started to blush. I was never good with boys and their attention.
As he served our food, he kept his eyes on me and I started to fidget in my seat. "Would you all like anything else?" he asked but more specifically me. I shook my head as Olivia said no. The scary man kept glaring at the waiter. But the waiter was oblivious to it. I wonder why he was glaring at him.
