"Why did he left like that?" Keira mumbled. Her expression couldn"t be described due to the wasted opportunity to properly introduce herself to Zach and thank him.As soon as she entered the restaurant, she made sure that their seats were parallel to Zach"s. But when she was about to approach Zach, a man who seemed to be in a rush, walked towards Zach and said something to him, then the two practically ran out of the restaurant.
"Maybe, there"s an emergency?" Lana commented as she scanned the menu.
Keira sighed as she stared at the entrance, hoping that Zach would come back.
Then, she once more let out a long, deep sigh and asked, "Do you think he remembers me at all?"
May subconsciously spat out the water she had drunk and chuckled as she wiped her mouth with a tissue.
She looked at Keira still laughing and said, "Of course, he remembers you, my dear… Why wouldn"t he? You gave him the most memorable experience in his lifetime at your first meeting! That indeed can"t easily be forgotten! I"m sure your face is totally engraved in his mind, you know..."
Then, May stopped laughing but continued, "Sis, I"m really sorry, I can"t help but continuously laugh whenever I think of that scenario… I mean, it"s so epic… how you and that General met… It"s just..."
Lana, seeing Keira"s face flush because of embarra.s.sment, pressed May"s shoulder to stop the latter.
May exaggeratedly tucked her lips in quickly.
However, Drey interrupted and continued with the topic, "If I were in Keira"s shoes, I would never have the courage to face him again, like what Keira did just a while ago! I mean, it would have been so embarra.s.sing for me… Well, we all know Keira, nothing can stop her if she wants something..."
During their junior and senior high school days, Keira always did things her way, her own hilarious way, but surprisingly she always succeeded.
Keira pouted her lips, as her forehead crumpled. "It"s our second meeting and it"s also another awkward moment… waaaahhh!" Keira exclaimed as she pulled her hair in annoyance but quickly looked around and fixed them back.
Lana smiled in admiration. Keira was really a cute and funny lady, that was the reason many people adored her back at their school days.
"But to be fair to you, Keira, you truly have amazing eyes… That Zach is not only handsome and fit but is a true gentleman, so I definitely vote for him and I will support you. I"ll help you get that handsome General with oozing s.e.x appeal." Drey declared, full of antic.i.p.ation.
Keira creased her forehead and glared at Drey with narrowed eyes, "Tsehhh!!! He thought you"re my boyfriend!"
Drey laughed out hard and said, "What? It"s not my fault that I am this good looking! If only I could, you know how much I"d love to grow this hair of mine long like yours… But, anyway, as I"ve already said to you over and over again, you need to be calculative and must not act too obvious. Now, that I"ve seen Zach, I have a feeling that you won"t have an easy road ahead."
"What do you mean?" Lana asked with an arched eyebrow.
She couldn"t believe what Drey just declared. Keira got it all: the looks, the brain, the wealth and most importantly a pure and sincere heart. Although she could be very mischievous and playful at times, but not to the point of doing things below the belt. Keira knew her boundaries and all of them could attest to that.
"Well, Zach is obviously not interested in her," Drey said simply.
"Ouch!" May reacted as she touched her heart briskly and looked at Keira teasingly.
Keira rolled her eyes at Drey and said, "Of course, I know that. Because he never even once asked my name or tried to prolong our meeting or have a simple conversation! And I really hate that, but it only makes me more interested in him. He is not like the other guys who easily fall in love or put their eyes on physical aspects."
Keira paused and sighed. "Nowadays, men like him are very rare. So, I have to do things perfectly, but it"s just so hard for me to hide my emotions, and you guys know how transparent I could be. My heart is always going crazy like it wants to pop out from my body to jump and dance whenever he is around me. Just a while ago, I even wanted to kiss him right on the spot!!!"
The three dropped their jaws as they listened to Keira who kept on describing her feelings.
Lana shook her head and murmured to others, "She"s crazy… So crazily head over heels for that General, and it"s scary!"
"Well, I like it," Drey answered. He was so inspired by Keira"s willpower. He liked how extraordinarily Keira acted and pursued her goals.
May"s mouth twisted as she said, "Can we order now. Geez, let"s continue talking after our stomachs are full… I"m losing energy here, so my brain is not working properly, and I can"t comment anymore!"
Keira heard it and laughed, "Alright, May, we"ll eat now you glutton…"
