Love At Last

Chapter 76 – The awkward sightseeing.

Cayden

She continued thinking about where she had seen Lily earlier, while I watched her impatiently. I was really curious about where she thought she had seen Lily and I really hoped it wasn’t going to turn out to be a problem for me.

“Where is that? Can you remember now?” I said and I placed my thumbs into my two pockets, waiting for her reply. A few seconds later, she shrugged and told me that she couldn’t remember.

When she said that, I silently heaved a sigh of relief and I started trying to make her get over Lily’s matter, by telling her that I wanted to go for the site seeing immediately.

She reluctantly agreed and I thanked God for that.

“We should go now.” I said when she finally agreed. We turned to the opposite and we started walking, when she suddenly stopped me.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her and she looked at me before speaking. She dragged me to the side and now, we were walking back to where we were leaving.

“I remember where I saw her now. Lily? Yes, I remember now.” She said with a hint of pride in her voice and I was suddenly curious about where she had seen her.

I just hoped it wasn’t on one of our trips. I waited patiently for her to start speaking..

“I saw her at a company. I think she went there for a party, more like a dinner party.” She said while she waited for my answer.

What she said sounded so familiar and I started panicking. She wasn’t lying when she said that she had seen Lily before. I started thinking about ways to stop her from thinking about that because she seemed like she was ready to be persistent with asking questions about Lily. I needed her to stop really fast because I wasn’t ready to even give her answers to her questions.

“Oh, really?” I said, feigning surprise.

“Yes, I’m so sure. I wondered why I’m just noticing now. I should’ve asked her about it.”

“I think you might be mistaken about that. I don’t think Lily has attended any party and definitely not one in a company.” I was really hoping that she was going to make the issue die down peacefully without asking any more questions.

“No, I’m very sure that I saw her there.” She sounded so sure of the answer and at that point, I just couldn’t do anything else to change her mind.

I just decided to confirm her answer and just twist in another way. I was really tired of going back and forth with her.

“I remember now. I think you’re right, but she went to the party at the company a very long time ago. It’s been long, that’s why I couldn’t even remember. It’s nothing to brood over, it isn’t worth it, don’t worry.” I said it all at once and with what I said, I wasn’t expecting her to say anything again.

“You were telling me a minute ago that I was telling lies and now you’re telling me that it happened a long time ago? Are you serious about that?” She eyed me suspiciously and crossed her hands against her chest.

The fact that she kept on going back and forth with Lily’s issue was starting to make me feel really uncomfortable. All the questions that she was asking me weren’t even necessary at all, but I just had to answer everything so she would forget about it all.

“Yes. It happened a long time ago, that’s why I didn’t remember at first. It’s nothing serious.”

“Hmm.” She squinted her eyes at me, while I just stared at her.

“Yeah. Can we go and see the second site now?” I asked, trying to make the atmosphere feel lighter.

“Yeah, sure.” I was correct, it made the atmosphere lighter.

We turned to the other side again and we started walking towards the opposite side to see the second site.

I could still see that she was still feeling suspicious, but I wasn’t interested in clearing her doubts again. I had already tried my best and if that wasn’t enough for her, then I have nothing to do about it.

The site seeing was actually going pretty well and it wasn’t as awkward as I expected. We had small talks here and there and I was really cool with it.

However, I wasn’t sure if I was completely satisfied with the way things were going, but it was okay. It wasn’t bad at least. I could see that she was also sceptical about the vine that we were having, but she also thought it wasn’t bad either.

The next hour, we were already through with the site seeing and I was a little bit happy about that. I was starting to feel sick about the whole process and I just wanted to go back.

When we were done with site seeing, I was about to bid her goodbye and leave instantly, when she stopped me. She told me that she needed me for something and she didn’t want me to leave yet.

A small frown settled on my face, as I listened to her speak patiently.

“So, you don’t want me to leave yet?” I asked her and in response to that, she shook her head slowly and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

“Why? I thought we were done with the site seeing. Is there another place that you want to go to?” I asked her and she looked away from me before answering me.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“No, not that. I just feel like we should have a drink together. Or what do you think?”

“A drink together?” I was a little bit confused and I didn’t know why she wanted us to go and have a drink together.

Did she think that this was a date? Oh God. That’s funny.

“Yes. I’m inviting you out for a drink. So, is it a yes?” Her eyes suddenly started glowing with a little bit of excitement.

I looked away from her before answering her. “Oh, I’m sorry, but I have to go. I have to resume early tomorrow. So sorry.”

She slowly nodded her head and she looked away from me. The glow that was in her eyes was gone now.
