56 Childhood Friends or No (1/2)

The dinner had gone exceptionally well for Zunnie and Alex. Even if Zunnie seemed relieved that the introductions had gone fine, she still felt concerned. She had noticed the actress glancing at her occasionally and she couldn't help but wonder what the reason was.

Natalia was pretty and so was she and she had no reason to feel threatened by her curious stares. Yet still, Zunnie knew there had to be some motive behind her statement when she mentioned about Alex coming home for dinner.

Alex happened to be her first love, so she had to admit that she felt uneasy with Natalia coming over unannounced on the day she was meeting his family. She wondered if there had ever been something between her and Alex. So, on the drive back to their condos she asked Alex;

”Darling, the guest who invited herself to dinner, is she family? How come I've never heard about her?”

”She's not family. You don't have to worry about her.”

”Okay, but I don't understand why she kept glancing at me. Does she have feelings for you?” Zunnie knew if she didn't ask, Alex would not tell her.

”I'm like a brother to her. We played together when we were younger. You could say we were childhood friends.”

”So that's a yes since most childhood friends share some feelings for each other. Ever heard of the saying, ”What one loves during childhood stays forever in their hearts.”

”Where did you hear that? There I things I liked when I was younger that I don't like now.”

”You're right. But what about Miss Omalu?”

”Honey you're over thinking the situation. She often comes for dinner and that's it. I don't have feelings for her. She did confess to me recently, but I rejected her. You're the one I'm in love with.”

”Alright, Alright. I get it.” Zunnie mumbled.

Hearing it from Alex was all that mattered to her. She squeezed his free hand, brought it to her lips and kissed his palm.

”Is that an invitation?” Alex grinned

”What are you saying? Invitation for what?” She replied acting coyly.

Alex chuckled, ”Never mind.”

”I almost forgot. I'm going to Milan for a few days next week. There's a client who wants me to design his new house.”

”Darling you're awesome. Didn't know you got clients all over the world.”

”Mhm. I do. Will you be coming to the party on Saturday? I'll get Zhang to pick up a dress for you.”
