Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Mari
I looked around at the reception and saw a pretty lady talking with the receptionist. She had a pink lipstick on and her lips moved with etiquette. She looked flashy and she's way taller than me.
I kept looking at her because her way of talking and gesturing was quite amusing though I didn't hear a word of what she was saying
She eventually looked at my direction and saw me staring at her. I quickly looked away and looked back moments later, she had resumed her talking.
I packed my hair from falling on my shoulders to staying at the left side, only on my left shoulder. It would make me look a little classier. I also removed my jacket and held it on my left arm. I looked at my shoes and I was glad I had worn my white canvas. My shirt was a body fitting T-shirt and I wore tight jeans (I got that from Eliza)
I looked beside me and saw large mirrors on a wall. I walked there and looked at my reflection
“not bad” I muttered and wet my lips with my tongue. It became moist and shiny
“that's my natural lip gloss” I teased and laughed at myself.
I saw Wilbur coming in through the mirror and I smoothed my hair well with my palm then turned to go. Before I could reach him, the strange lady I was staring at had walked up to him and hugged him. He pulled her away and they began to talk.
I stood still and watched them, it seems he wasn't very delighted to see her but reverse was the case for her
Maybe she's a fan of his. But why would he put on that attitude with a fan?
Hmm, I think they know each other.
The lady began to run her hand on his chest and he didn't seem to care, he was just looking around. I know he's looking for me but I stood still and watched how he jerked her hand off and spoke to her sternly. If only I could hear what they were saying
The lady frowned and walked away angrily. He sighed and stood akimbo, still looking around.
Finally he saw me and I waved at him gently with a smile. He chuckled and beckoned on me to come.
I walked over to him
“sorry I didn't come back quickly like I said” he apologized.
“it's okay” I said, knowing that his delay made me do my own little makeover
“let's go, come on” he said and held my hand.
“who was she?” I asked as we walked on
“Kate... That's her name. Eduardo's girlfriend” he replied
I looked at him “Eduardo's girlfriend?” I asked and he nodded.
Why would Eduardo's girlfriend be literally flirting with him. Are they having an affair? Maybe he was acting somehow towards her because they weren't supposed to be acting all cordial in public places.
“she's... She's a pest” he said as if to clarify my thoughts
“pest?”
“yeah. She's troublesome, talkative, and thinks she can always have her way” he said
“do you guys have anything to do with each other”
“I despise her but unfortunately she's crushing on me. I've told her to stop disturbing me but she still insists she want us to have an affair”
“that's gross” I mumbled
“come on, this way” he said and we took a turn. We kept walking through a hallway then got to a door. He opened it and we entered a large room with lots of clothes
Wow, if only I had money, I'd empty this room.
“you like the clothes?” he asked when he saw the amusement in my eyes
“I do. They're lovely” I replied
“great... Let's start shopping then. They're all feminine so the shopping is for you.”
“wait... What? Shopping?” I asked as he moved to a rack. He picked up a nice shirt, yellow with a picture of Spongebob Squarepants on it
“do you like this shirt? It's beautiful and big. I think baggy shirts would fit you” he said and raised it up
“wow” I muttered loud enough for him to hear
“wow I like this one. It's unisex I think. Black with white writings” he said and showed me a nice T-shirt. I smiled, I like it already
“if you continue standing there the sushi place would close before we leave here”
I walked to him and collected the T-shirt
“I like it;” I said
“me too”
“you said it's unisex right?” I asked looking at the shirt
“yeah” he answered
“then get one for yourself too” I stated and he looked at me like he didn't understand what I just said
