Chapter 90 - Lake Side (2/2)

After the movie we left for the lunch. A non crowded place would be perfect for us. We grabbed some food at a dinner then drove away from there in search for a peaceful place. The road was empty, the giant green trees were guarding us from the sight of the city life. After driving for a while, I parked the car beside a lakeside. The place is completely unknown to me.

” Let's go.” I got out from the car while looking around my surroundings. ” You like this place?” A worried me asked, hoping that the location is preferable.

” Yeah. It's so quite here. Do you usually come here?”

” No, in fact this is the first time. To tell you the truth, I can go anywhere as long I have you as my companion. Up until now, I have never went to these sort of places by myself or with anyone.” We started to walk towards the lake, holding our food. The green meadow beside the lake, a perfect spot indeed for spending some beautiful time. We sat down on the ground without worrying about clothes.

” A guy like you, who used to spend all his time in office, these kind of change is indeed unbelievable.” She hummed on her own.

” Are you mocking me?” I kinda felt that I'm being teased.

” No. More like I'm praising you.” Grinning like a sky fox, she replied.

” Oh really?” I asked again with a smirk. She leaned her body closer to mine, making me think that she's going to kiss me. Well, well, I can except this as a praise.

” YES!” She screamed near my ear, making them bleed. Sadly, no kiss came to ease my dishearten soul.

” Hey! My ears!” Poor ears of mine. The eardrums are probably broken by now. Maybe I'll become deaf. And look at her, how she is laughing at my misery. What a devil woman she is, breaking all my expectations.

” The food gonna get cold. We better eat them now.” Even the food is more valuable in her eyes. I'm nothing compared to that. What a pathetic truth. Taking those things aside, we were slowly eating our sandwiches, gazing at the peaceful lake, the natural scenery in front of us. No one was there to disturb us. Not a single soul.

” We should watch the sunset here.”

” People do that in beach usually.” Was I rude to her ? By stating the truth?

” I like it here. This place makes me calm.” She payed no attention rather ignored the logical explanation.

” If you want I can make a lake near our house. We have plenty of vacant spaces.”

” That's extreme. I wouldn't go that far.”

” Lake is like a big pool. Isn't it?” Of course if you own lots of money, big things are also small in your eyes.

” Are you bring sarcastic or dumb?” A glare was shot on me. I wonder if I'm being annoyance to her.

” Who knows. But making a lake won't be that hard.”

” Theo, please. You talk so highly of yourself.”

” I earn so much money. Although rather than spending, I invest them on other businesses. That's why, I would be happy to spend it for your enjoyment. Besides you hardly ask me for anything. Even when we go for supper, we eat junk food.”

” That's enough to make me happy.” She replied with a bright smile. We locked our body as it was the perfect moment for us to gaze at each other shamelessly. Maybe she's right. I'm slowly understanding the real meaning of life.
