He Who Never Forgets (HWNF)

part 20

Leah :

Blair? Is she beautiful? She must be because I saw on the internet, beautiful women were all over him. I even saw lots of successful businesswoman that dated him before. Compared to myself, I'm nothing. I can't be sexy like them, my legs are not long enough, I'm pale and they are tanned. I don't know how to do business, even my maths are weak! How am I going to keep Teddy if I'm not even almost the same level as them? How?

Think Leah. Think.

Maybe I should start exercise, but I hate exercise! Diet? I can't, I need to constantly eat. What else? Think Leah! Use your brain!

"Leah.." I looked at Teddy who's looking at me cautiously.
Suddenly he went out from the car and then opened the door for me. What a gentleman, I almost smile at him for his action but then I remembered about his dates. Maybe with them he's like this too, I frowned. After I got out from the car, he silently led me towards some kind of a hiding place I think because there's bushes and trees all around the place leaving only a small wooden fence that attached to the tall bushes, behind the fence I saw a way which I don't know lead to where. Where is this place? He pulled me along the way, that's when I saw a field of lavenders covering an entire garden leaving a small hut in the middle of this purple sea and I also noticed there's a small trail that leads towards the hut. I just let Teddy guide me towards the hut still holding my hand. When we reached there, there's only a table and two chairs made of wood. I saw Teddy then spread out the mat on the floor in front of the wooden table, after that he arrange the food and drinks neatly on it. I didn't realize that Teddy brought a picnic basket just now; I'm too focused on Blair to notice it. After Teddy finished arranging, he sat down then patted the place beside him motioning me to sit. I followed. He eyed me cautiously while I still contemplating whether exercise or diet.

"Leah.............please.." He suddenly pleaded. I look at him confusedly.

"It's been two hours Jellyface" He added still looking at me pleadingly.

"What two hours?" I asked. "Not talking to me, ignoring me, mad at me," He stated.

"It's been two hours?!" two hours yet I still didn't came with any solutions, I need to decide fast.

"You're doing it again" He caught my attention. "You are ignoring me." Oh.

"I know you are thinking something, one moment you look so worried then one moment you look like you wanna stab someone. I'm sorry for my past Jellyface, I didn't mess with any woman since I met you, I swear." He exclaimed.

"I know Teddy, but I can't easily forget about it" I explained.

He sighed. "Please don't be mad. I don't like the silent treatment you're giving me, it's torturous. It's too early for silent treatment honey." I think I just melt by the word 'honey'. So I smiled because I can't stay mad at him.

"what are we?" I asked him, I expect him to be anxious or surprise or any negative response. Instead, he just smiled at me. "you think?" he answered my question with another question.

"Friend?"

"Really?"

"I think so."

"After confessing our feelings last night, we're friend only?"

"How should I know, you're the man."

"What is gender got to do with this?"

"I don't know."

"I know."

"What?"

"You're my woman."

His woman? This is the first time someone called me like that. I don't know how others react with that but I'm officially proud. Fluttering and embarrassed.
