“His father?”
“He died after 2 years of a diagnosed lung cancer. He used to be a heavy smoker” said mr.cook
“I see and errr…” I was interrupted
“I know you think that he is some spoiled guy who is having a good time with your sister but I think not! Your sister is just a lucky girl. He asked me to come here like 4 months ago. He is so protective of her. That is called LOVE. But maybe you got the wrong bad impression. He deserves a chance. We all do sometimes” she said.
“I expect you to keep this conversation between us. If that’s okay!”
“What conversation?” she laughed
“heheh okey thank you” I said as soon as she closed the door.
Chapter 4 : JayChapter4:
It’s Monday! A new day! A new morning! It’s been 2 nights since the last nightmare, I feel like am getting better. Summer in Cleveland seems to be nice! I breathe deeply every time I open this wide window in my new bed room. It has a very good place as it was a painting hanging on the wall. I know that I don’t have a quite good memory with this small bed which was maybe occupied by Mila’s friend but for some reason that I’m not aware of I feel like I belong here! I read in a book Once that the place you have never been in to, but you awkwardly feel belonged that means you are where your soul mate is. I smiled to the idea, and I remember myself just two month ago writing about the failure of relationships. Such idea can’t relate to someone thinking about soul mates. Suddenly Ethan crossed my mind. Every single detail of him catch my mind, I can’t ignore how interesting this man is. I don’t know him. I feel like I’m meeting with one of my main character in a novel I would write some day that destiny put him on my path. I would win a prize by describing him. My cell phone always starts to ring every time I come up with an idea. I always thought that destiny has played against me. But I guess it is not
“Hello” firmly answered to the unknown number.
“Hey! What a nice voice? I couldn’t imagine much more welcoming” a familiar man voice, harsh but sarcastic. I’m sure it’s not Ethan’s
“ Who is it?” I asked and I knew he wouldn’t tell me.
“I’m the guy of your dreams who has a nice Burch and really wanna hang out with you. I’m free for lunch” said Jay. It wasn’t hard to find out! But why? The dream part that is such confusing!
“Hey Dr.Kruek” I intended to say this.
“Dr. Kreuk!? Who is he? I don’t know him!! Do you?!” he giggled
“I’m fine thanks” I laughed
“You are such an interesting lady. But a little mad!”
“Well being mad is on a scale and everyone has a scale for his own so that changes who is crazy who is not” I giggled. I like this.
“ okay! I see! So I will pick you up at 1:30?”
“What,, err” I was interrupted like always
“It’s not a date! Gussy up okay! take care bye” he hanged up on me. Maybe I would start to change my mind about people here in OHIO.
There is always a man has his own role in every fairytale, the man who comes un- conditionally. Gives a flavor for the story line but never wins. The princess will always have her own taste of men that doesn’t include him. Women are always drawn to those guys, who make them wonder; drive them out of their minds. Her heart is always thirsty for a story can change the life as she knows it. Let’s put on some cloths. The night mare shouldn’t occupy my conscious. I will go with the dream man.
I was ready in like 15 mins. I have always waited for everybody; I’m not the kind of person who let people wait for them to get some attention. I heard the car hound, but still am not sure. The voice has stopped so I assumed that’s not for me! Suddenly someone knocked on the door the same rhythm. I opened it
“Hey!”
“Hi!” I smiled and I let him in so I don’t have to bear with rude manners.
“Do you know that my sister used to live here?”
“yes!”
“Her name is Jenna I suppose you know” he sat on the large coach.
“Yes” I smiled.
“You like me right? Hhheh say YES” he laughed. I just smiled so he can feel how stupid the situation is.
“Let’s go!” he said when he took my hand and kissed it! OH my God! This is how it works here! For God sake! It’s a lunch. I didn’t say much word. I followed him and closed the door.
We went to a diner in the downtown, lovely place and kind of intimate. It’s called “The magic Diner”. I guess a man’s taste of choosing a place is so important. You can see almost everything about his personality. Calm or crazy, romantic or just practical and expecting good quality food. I would go for the last one “the food seeker”. He chose a table for two next to the window.
“Here is The Best diner ever for serving burgers” he said interrupting my last thought about his mankind.
“We will see!”
“No trust me! You will remember this for the rest of your life”
“I hope so! I like it here! I feel like moving in”
“Don’t you miss New York? A New Yorker wouldn’t enjoy residency here”
“I miss the routine but this place can help you sort things out while you can’t in New York. The breeze here is able to refresh your life and re create your old thoughts, make it clearer” I guess I overrated.
“mmm you mean it’s the best for a honey moon?” he laughed. I guess I miss used my words.
“You know what? You are right! Maybe it could be the best place for a honey moon but for some people. The place for a honey moon should be the opposite of the couple’s personalities. They should be altering their standard mood to highly entertainment mood”
“Well! You are the woman who makes the un-sense look priceless. How can you do this?”
“Do what?” I asked.
“Being too charming. You are impressive. You give everything such a good amount of analyzing. I guess I’m already analyzed by now!” he giggled.
“Why not?” I smiled. A blond waitress came and gave us both the menu charts. We both smiled at her as she was standing waiting for an order, gazing most likely at Jay. Well a girl like me would get jealous but I was busy thinking that is how obvious we look to others, Friends who are hanging out and the idea that even if he was my date that wouldn’t stop her from doing that. Why do I bother?
“mmm chicken burger and lemon- garlic sauce with soda please” I said looking at her impassively.
“Beef burger and yogurt barbecue sauce. Don’t forget the soda!!” he said smiling at her out the very respect as he gave her the menu. Hhhh she is so tempted now! And I’m so sure that he knows what he is doing. He looked at me directly.
“Lemon sauce!!” he said putting his hands on his cheeks.
“What do you get from that?” I asked as Ethan picture has invaded my brain remembering his lemon- vinegar conversation in my nightmare.
“hhhh I’m gathering some info about you! Analyzing! Just like you. You know what?”
“What?” I asked.
“A man can read much of you through your eyes, But so hard to get to know although it’s easy to get engaged with you in a conversation” he giggled
“mmm what a lemon sauce can tell about you I’m impressed actually. You should come and help me writing my book ” we both laughed.
We spent 2 hours in this diner talking and laughing. We kept the real talks away far from this table. For example: he didn’t ask me what am I going to do? Am I applying for a job or something? Do I need a ride to get to know this town? We didn’t talk about his job; where did he specialize? We discussed tourism, home shopping even parenting.. etc. All things that reveal nothing about the real us! What can I say!? I enjoyed my time with him but there were something not right about me towards him and every man I will meet especially after that night and what made it way more complicated that I’m sitting with the best friend of the Nightmare guy. I’m not healed yet from you Ethan.
He paid the check for sure but what concerned me that I felt like we are hanging out! It’s not a date friends getting out, as simple as it is. I wonder whether I can go like this with Ethan since he is gonna be my brother in law!! Everything is possible! I shouldn’t be amplifying this. Stop!
We were standing next to his car; maybe just staring at the ground. I don’t know what to say.
“So what now?” I said shyly. It was so kind of him inviting me here.
“Mmm well I wish we could do something else but you know it’s my break on the first day of the week which is always busy” he said confusing me with his hands movements.
“it’s ok ! It was very kind of you taking me here! I did really enjoyed my time”
“ what about the burgers?!”
“hehe delicious I suppose!” I smiled shyly
“Did it change the life as you know it?” he asked as if he had one of my quotes I was writing down this morning. Someone has hacked my brain and people are just wandering around because he let the door wide open. Heheh I’m a total lunatic.
“Yes it did” I laughed but not in result of his question. I was laughing at myself and how I’m changing just like the climate. I thought it would be much harder moving in here. But I feel happy!
We got into the car, no single word. We were gazing at the streets. No ideas to come up with, even the weather wasn’t our concern. Oh! We arrived so fast! I’m happy for this. Now I will open the door and run!! I guess Mila is home and she could be on the window watching this.
“I repeat I just like your smile” he said
“well thank you!” I smiled respectively
“You are so welcomed” he said it as soon as he left a kiss on my cheek. Well! No need for this. No need to make me go red! I didn’t act anything. He was expecting something maybe a surprise reaction. My mind went blank. I’m on the impassive mood.
“ Bye” I waved as I closed the car’s door.
“ I will catch up with you later, wait for my call” he shouted off the window. Why does he have to make some drama!
