After parting with him, Claudia met up with her girlfriends, and they headed over to Flora"s for more gossip. It was almost 11pm, so there weren"t any gossiping adults to stall them."So why did you dump us?" Seraphina was the first to speak up as she changed into a night dress.
Flora also turned her attention towards the protagonist with a raised eyebrow, urging her to spill the tea.
Claudia, who was still stuck in her little romance bubble, noticed their urging looks and put on a huge grin.
"Okay okay okay. I"ll tell," she said as the three amigos settled on the rug.
Calming her excited emotions, she began, "that was Justin, and I just found out he was Kev"s older brother."
Everybody knew Kevin. Unfortunately, my girls weren"t interested in that piece of information.
"We didn"t really say much. We just caught up on things we missed out on and got to know each other better. We exchanged numbers and that was all."
Feeling pretty good about her narration, Claudia relaxed.
"Girl, dont think we didn"t see you taking pictures," Flora said in a sa.s.sy tone.
Honestly, I didn"t know how that happened either. At that moment when he was talking about himself, a thought popped up in my mind, "don"t let him slip away."
He made dad jokes, and it was common knowledge that I lived for jokes like that. His smooth voice had a calming effect. It made me so comfortable and happy.
I had a feeling he wasn"t going to make the first move, so I thought, "what"s stopping me?"
The moment I demanded for his phone, I wanted to bite off my tongue the next second.
In my head, there was chaos.
"Who"s gonna like a crazy girl like you?"
"Don"t scare away the poor man!!!!!!"
"Make it subtle!!!!!!"
Unfortunately, my body acted faster than my brain. The next moment, I was typing in my number and taking my picture to use
on my contact profile. I noticed how fl.u.s.tered he looked when I did that.
That was the time I finally believed in the saying "Love is blind."
He looked liked the most handsome man on earth at that minute. His eyebrows were scrunched up together while his eyes carried a hint of curiosity and his cheeks reddened.
After being influenced by Seraphina"s celebrity collection, I thought I"d be immune to any other beauty, but I thought wrong. He was truly the most attractive man to me, Justin Bolton.
In the midst of my recall, my phone vibrated. As I was about to check, the door opened suddenly. Flora and I were freaked out while the odd ball was relaxed. When our sights fell on the open door, it was truly shocking.
