Chapter Thirty-Five: Love

Romans' POV

Her beautiful eyes and happy smile, she talks sensibly and is beautiful inside out. Gosh, hearing her sexy voice laughing happily with her unpacked hair flying around to the touch of the cool wind. She's sexy.

I sat in the living room thinking about Eliora, it must have taken an hour or two because I lost track of my thought again.

I smiled happily and laugh like a fool. If anyone were around, they would definitely think I'm going insane.

"Romans!" I heard footsteps from the passage.

"Who's that knows my pass? Hanson?" I wondered with my eyes focused on the exit.

"Romans Robin Robert!".

Aha! I immediately jump out of the armchair after hearing the strict light voice of my mother, Mrs. Rachael Robin.

Yeah, we all have R in our names... you know.

She is the only one that loves calling my name in full, to me it sounds strange but I got used to it. It started right from childhood so I can't stop it now.

But they're supposed to be on vacation, what are they doing here?

I hurried closer to the exit to meet them, at least meeting with them early will reduce the tension... so I thought.

"Mum, dad" I called innocently trying to embrace them from their shoulders.

"Don't you dare touch me!" My mum shouted angry.

"What are you still doing here?" My dad asked annoyingly.

"Why don't you both take your sit first?" I scratched my head looking confuse.

I wasn't ready to be scolded by them. Not now that all my thoughts are focused on a woman.

"You better start talking" My mum crossed her arms staring at me anxiously.

"What do you want to hear? Did I cause anything?" I asked cryptically.

"When are you visiting the Aniston's or do you want me to invite them over?" My dad asked in anger.

"Dad! I am done with the Aniston's" I said vividly.

"You're what? It's not possible. You must marry Miss. Jennifer" My mum argued, as usual.

"It's my life right? I can also decide to stay a bachelor forever" I snorted in annoyance.

"Shut up! You shut your damn mouth up" My dad shouted.

"You don't say that again dad! I'm not having this discussion with you both" I paused.

"Are you not suppose to be having your romantic moments in the cruise for five years?" I asked in a mocking tone.

"How can we do that when our son remains adamant to settle? What do you want?" My mum asked as she exhaled in fatigue.

"Hey hun, you've to relax. Don't stress yourself over this issue" My dad gently caress her back.

I don't want to tell you about this two ' my mum and dad' else you'd ask me a deadly question. My parents love each other down to earth that even if the world was falling, they don't care as long as they're both together... Now you wonder, why ain't I romantic right? My name is already Romans, what do you expect again?

"I want to get married to Mrs. Ganes" I said bluntly and my parents exchanged weird amazed glare.

"Are you insane? Should I call the psychiatrist?" My dad ask looking worried.

"I'm good dad. I told Jennifer off and choose Eliora. I still love her and she's the lady I want to marry" I explained briefly.

"I'm not accepting that retch as my daughter-in-law" My mum rolled her eyes annoyingly.

"Then get ready to see your son die a bachelor and don't pester me for grand kids" I said vividly and sit back on the armchair.

They struggled for words to come out of them but I guess it didn't, I stared at the television blankly.

Eliora's POV💦

"But do you know you're stupid?" Jennifer said rhetorically and we laugh loudly.

We were seeing a movie "Peter's Rabbit" in my living room, aside the comics in the movie I and Jennifer were teasing ourselves and laughing happily.

*Knock* knock* knock*

"Are you expecting someone?" Jennifer asked slyly.

"None that I could think of" I gently poke my nose.

"What if it's.... Romans!!!" Jennifer teased and I blushed shyly.

Jennifer got up from the armchair to check the door while I focused on the movie.

"Oh come in" I heard Jennifer saying.

And soon, a tall figure entered into my apartment.

Calm down, it's not who you're thinking.

It was Desmond.

I never allow anyone into my apartment aside Jennifer and Desmond coming in, I felt uncomfortable but the fact that 'it was Jenny' made my heart to chill out.

"Dessy" I turned towards the exit staring at him anxiously.

"Come and sit" Jennifer said politely.

"Actually, I just came to drop this off" Desmond said nervously.

"What's that?" I roughly stand from the armchair and walk closer to him.

Then I notice he was holding a small white box that was kinda transparent.

"What's that?" I asked again while Jennifer roll her eyes from Desmond to me, anxiously.

"It's some cupcakes I made" Desmond said shyly passing the box roughly to me.

For someone his age, it's weird to see him looking like a nerdy silly teenager in love. I'm a freaking bad describer!

"Are the cupcakes for me or...?" I said mischievously rolling my eyes from him to Jennifer, Desmond clears his throat nervously while Jennifer stared else where.

"What?" I laughed trying to ease the atmosphere.

"It's for... you both" Desmond stuttered.

"Eerrh.... I'll give you both some privacy" I said skeptically after observing their both stares, all of those steal glances side attraction things.

I'll never stop minding my business, right?

I left the living room with the box of cupcakes.

Few minutes later, I walked into the living room holding a saucer with a small fork. The saucer contained three cupcakes, I proceed further but didn't see Desmond.

Jennifer was quietly watching the television but her facial expression wasn't bright like it was when I left, I sat beside her passing her the cupcakes.

"I'll pass" Jennifer muttered softly.

"Are you alright?" I asked anxiously placing the saucer on the center table.

I got no response.

"Is it Desmond?" I asked anxiously.

"Yeah" Jennifer nods.

"What did he say?" I ask, concerned.

"That he's in love with me" Jennifer said bluntly staring at me like a stupid baby.

"You found true love bitch!" I said jokingly slapping her shoulder softly.

"What! You don't expect me to love that old man, right?" Jennifer said in a loud tone as if annoyed.

"Mr. Desmond is only in his middle thirties, he's quite handsome, he's very nice and have respects for ladies... Is there anything else you seek for and can't find in him?" I asked cryptically looking all serious like one relationship counsellor.

"Erh... The thing is... I just broke up with Romans and... I" Jennifer stutters in confusion as she tries to explain.

"And what about Romans? He has moved on with me already" I said bluntly so her senses will return immediately.

"If you love him, don't hesitate to take a step before you loose it. I mean, I see no bad habit in him" I shrugged my shoulder.

"You think I and him make ... cool match?" Jennifer asked nervously and I smirked.

"Yeah. You both are fit for each other. Trust my judgement" I said courageously.

"So, I should do what?" Jennifer asked anxiously.

"Don't hurry, act as if you're not interested and cheap. Take time to settle your feelings before taking a step" I said cautiously.

"Thank you so much sis!" Jennifer embraced me tightly and I smiled.

"You're welcome bitch. Can you smile now?" I said sarcastically.

"Of course" Jennifer smiled and I nod.

"The cupcakes" I passed it to her and she received it impatiently.

"Yummy" Jennifer said as she chew meticulously.

"He's a good baker too" I said teasingly and she smiled shyly.

"Whatever. Have Romans called yet?" Jennifer asked in a mocking tone.

"The date isn't something important though" I said nervously.

Inside of me, I was missing him badly and wishing for him not to fail me. It was our first date as couple.

"Are you sure?" Jennifer asked mischievously raising her brow.

"Get lost" I cursed as if annoyed and she laughs.

"I can call him... You know" Jennifer suggested.

"I don't th..." I begin but was cut off by the ringing tone of my phone.

"Here comes your prince charming" Jennifer teased me lovingly as I walk to the kitchen table to get my phone, blushing like a mouse.

"Go get yours" I rolled my eyes and pick the call shushing her from saying another word immediately, Jennifer let out her tongue as if frustrated and leaves to the kitchen.

I can't wait to have my first official date with Romans. It's a dream come true wish for me. Is it going to be something romantic? What will I even wear? Thank goodness Jennifer is present but is he calling because of the date?
