Ch. 53SUDDENLY DINNER WITH YOU


After I decided to go back to sit down because I wanted to help Sebastian. We were both silent for a while.

"So this goes how? If it's already a deal and agreed to act like that, I think we should immediately arrange a plan..."Sebastian looked at me.

Remember El, you did a silly thing earlier, accidentally stroked his hair! Don't you ever act weird again. He might think you like him! My common sense speaks.

"Please."

"Yes? What does 'please' mean? Can you be more specific."Sebastian face is serious.

"Geez? Did you say you wanted to talk about a plan? Yeah, I want hear what your plan... So, just go ahead, what's your plan? that's what I'm talking about."

Sebastian sighed,"We'd better discuss it over dinner ... it's getting late, you must be hungry."He looked at me intently," What do you want? Find a menu that makes you energized, not a menu like sandwiches."

"Sandwiches can also add energy ..."
I have a slight objection to what he said. Is he trying to insinuate I'm powerless?

Sebastian chuckled, "hmm, yes you're right. At least order a steak or a more interesting menu."

"No need ... I don't want to. I'm not that hungry, really. Take it easy ... hurry up and tell me what your plan is."

"I want to see my mom tomorrow if I can."

I hurriedly cut off the sentence Sebastian was saying.
"What!? Tomorrow? Isn't that too fast?"

"The sooner the better, I want my mother to be operated on by El..."

"Ooh."My answer is short.

Sebastian clasped his fingers and hit the countertop plan. I don't know what he's thinking, but I'm pretty sure he's in a bad mood.

"Do you mind with my plan?"Sebastian turned his head, I was silent while I didn't know how to answer, even though I could see the look on his face looking impatiently waiting for my answer.

Honestly, I actually do object. Tomorrow is too sudden for me. I'm not sure if I'll be ready with the plan Sebastian will announce later.

"...um, if I may, I'd like to know first, what's your plan?"

"Oh, sure, as long as you want to accompany me to eat first. I will definitely tell you the plan that just crossed my head. But please at least order a steak!"

You stubborn bastard! It remains only to continue to insist on going to dinner. Instead of being an endless discussion, I'd better comply with his request.

"I guess if I haven't complied with your request, until tomorrow morning this discussion continues to breakfast! Okay! I'll eat first, get the menu book, I'll order the food as you say!"

Sebastian smiled contentedly, he stood up and walked a step towards the waiter who was standing near the cash register, I don't know what he said, but when he returned to the table where the two of us were sitting, he didn't bring the menu book.

"It worked?Where's the menu I asked for? Why not take it?"

Sebastian commented with a subtle grin. "No need to book everything, I've asked the waiter to bring a menu that is a recommendation from the head Chef at Zayn's cafe."

I exhale slowly. How proud of him, just order recommended by Chef. Is he acting romantic? All of a sudden, questions were running through my mind.

"I've often ordered a menu recommendation from the Chef if i come here ... Zayn's place is, one of the places I visit the most."Sebastian's voice broke my Unfocused Mind.

What the! You poor Raveline! Your mind is too far away. Apparently, Sebastian is already used to eating with a menu recommended by the Chef. I suddenly felt so ashamed of myself because my head was too big and quick to judge.

"I am ... I'm not the kind of kid who stays at home, so I rarely eat at home. You could say, the house is just a stopover for sleeping, bathing and changing clothes. Now ... I just regretted why I never took the time to just eat dinner made by my mother."Suddenly Sebastian's figure again turned calm and mature just like Mr. B.

She squeezed his hair, his eyes glistening with a million regrets.

"There is still time. Your mother is still there, you can still fix everything, I promise to help you ... so you don't have to regret it. I will make your relationship with your mother even better."

Damn you Raveline! What did you just say?!Why are you sweet-mouthed to him? What if he thinks you're the one trying seduce him? I cursed myself.

"Sorry ... I even dragged you into my problems. If I may be honest, I actually refused to be betrothed to you, because I was afraid ... people as beautiful and as good as you are, are not worthy of an obscure young man like me."

You what!!! My eyes rolled to hear the words that had just come out of Sebastian's mouth. Does he not feel worthy of me? Suddenly I want to laugh out loud! What kind of joke is this? So that's why he refused when Amelie tried to set me up with him.

"Who says I'm that good ... I'm not as good as you think I am either..."I muttered slowly.

"If you weren't good, you certainly wouldn't have helped my sister from the first time you met her. To the point of making me wonder about you."

I turned my head and frowned. What does that mean?

Sebastian seemed to understand what was going on in my head. He smiled as he looked at me with soft eyes, making me fall and unable to not be fascinated by his figure anymore. "You know El ...actually I've been interested in you since the beginning Amelie used to tell me all the things about you, El like this, El like that and a lot of things she always told me about your kindness."

When the mood was serious, Zayn came again to the two of us. Knocking on the table in front of us, he smiled. "You ordered dinner, right?"

We nod compactly together.
"Well, then, please move to a special table to eat. Right there... "Zayn pointed towards the other end of the room.

"Oh, my God. Eating here what's the difference anyway? I usually eat here without any restrictions."

"It's definitely different! You're eating with beautiful girl! It can't be romantic! Move quickly there."

I laughed when I saw the two of them arguing over where to sit.
