Audrey POV
It was a weekend…
“You know it's been long you bought my favorite chocolate, mum,” I reminded her plainly as we both walked into the massive shopping mall. “Your eighteen Mi cha, you should start behaving like an adult now” She joked, muffling her laughter.
“I'm seventeen,” I retorted. “I knew you were going to say that, but you know you're turning eighteen next month,” She reminded.
And as soon as she said that, my eyes widened in surprise. “What? Don't tell me you actually forgot next month is your month?” Mum asked, walking ahead me.
We already got to the grocery store.
I scratched my nape, I completely forgot.
“I promise you it's going to be one of the biggest days of your life, sweetheart” Mum winked at me, raising a bar of chocolate to my face. I smiled and moved closer to her.
“Are you planning something special?” I asked her curiously, checking out some other chocolates. She didn't say a word, and I glanced at her, only to caught her grinning to herself.
I rolled my eyes.
I hate surprises!
Min jun POV
I trailed behind Dad as I watched him drop everything inside the trolley.
I was exhausted.
I was forced to come with him, I wonder why he'd insisted on coming to the grocery store himself, when there are enough maids to do it. “Wait here, Aaron”
“Don't worry, we are getting dresses for you after we're done with this” He winked at me and walked away before I could utter a word.
I rolled my eyes, tiredly.
My dad would never change, he behaves like he's younger while I'm elder.
He knows how much I hate going out, yet he insisted I come with him, he almost carried me into the car.
Except from going and returning from school, and sometimes to get my painting materials, that's the only time I go out.
I'm still thinking of an excuse to tell Dad, so I won't be going to the annual school trip.
I was still in my deep thought, but suddenly, somebody bumped into me from my back.
“I'm sorry” The person quickly apologized before I could turn around- I can tell it's a feminine, from the voice.
I twitched my mouth sideways before turning around to look.
I felt butterflies swarmed up massively in my tummy, immediately our eyes met.
She also looked shock, her lips were slightly apart and for the first time in my entire life, I felt like taking those strawberry lips into my mouth.
Gross, Min jun!
What has come over you?
She's clad in a jean skirt, revealing some areas of her thighs- together with a yellow sweatshirt.
Her hair is neatly parked in a high ponytail.
She looks so…
"Mi cha” A woman called, approaching us.
I smiled inwardly-I'm sure it's her mum.
She's also here with her mum?
“I've been looking around for you,” Her mum said, immediately she got to where she was standing.
She shot her mum an uneasy smile before glancing at me again.
I knew by then I should've left the scene, but my feet are still feeble.
Her mum turned to my direction, she stared at me for some seconds before a wide smile crept up on her lips.
“Hi, handsome,” She greeted amiably, walking towards me.
I couldn't help but smile before bowing in greetings. Guess what?
I liked her since I spoke with her on phone on the day the incident occurred, she sounded lovely even at her worried state, when I had dropped the sad news to her, she sounded like her world has been shattered.
She's a loving mother, I must say.
“Do you like my daughter?” She teases, glancing from my face to psycho's face.
Oh, no!
I should have left here when my mind had warned me to.” You see this my daughter standing over here, she's a really stubborn girl” She talked to me, like she'd known me for ages.
I just smiled.
Here's a female version of my Dad.
“Mum” Psycho called, but she didn't answer her. “Could you believe she doesn't have a boyfriend at her age?”
“But since I caught her staring at you, I'm sure she already has something for you,” Her mum smirks down at me.
Whoa!
I'm feeling on top of the world now.
“Mum!” Psycho yelled again.
“Just keep quiet girl, I'm helping you out now” She turned to her and scolded before turning to me again.
“She likes you, but she will never admit it,” She bent a little and whispered.
I folded my lips to prevent myself from laughing out now.
This woman is very funny.
What help was she talking about?
“So, my boy, could you please share me your contact?” She winks. “I've fallen in love with you already, and I would like you for my daughter” She raised her brows, still winking at me like she had something in her eyes.
“I had enough!” Psycho scowled, marching to where we were standing.
She grabbed her mum's wrist.
“Let's go, mum,” She said angrily.
“Don't be a kill joy, Audrey,” Her mum pouts.
“Let me have this cute boy contact, at least” She blinked her eyes.
"No!”
“We are leaving” She said and started pulling her mum along.
Her mum tilted her head back.
“What's your name, handsome?” She asked me, laughing at how her daughter was pulling her. “Min jun” I blurted before I could stop myself. “You're cute, dear” She shot me an adoring smile.
“Bye, Min jun”
“I wish to meet you again, very soon”
'Me too'
She waved at me and I waved back.
“What are you staring at?” I heard Dad's voice and I almost flinched.
Psycho and her mum were out of sight, but I still couldn't look away.
“Psycho and her mum were here,” I told Dad with a smile on my face. He gasped.
“Really?” His eyes bulged.
“Which direction did they took?” He asked, looking around the whole place, probably searching for them.
“You should have call on me, Aaron” Dad pouted, reminding me how psycho mum had pouted like a child too earlier.
Those two really would make a great match.
“Let's go Dad, I'm exhausted” I told him, walking ahead of him.
“I'm sure you are not, not after meeting your love,” He jokes.
I glanced at him and he quickly looked away.
I smiled inwardly.
Am I really in love with her?
Could this be love?
