My Lovely Girl… - Chapter 12

“Evening!” Blake said. “Hi! Come in.” Andy said. “I brought you dinner.” Blake said. “I’m getting fat because of you!” Andy said while receiving the food from Blake’s hands. “Don’t worry, you’re still beautiful even when your fat.” Blake said and then winked at Andy. Andy made a happy squint. “Come, let’s eat.” Andy said after setting the table.

“Your free tomorrow, right?” Blake asked. “Yeah, I’ll be back on Monday. Why?” Andy asking while sipping her tea. “Let’s have dinner at Pofta Buna.” Blake said. “Why?” Andy asked. “Nothing, just letting you taste our food.” Blake aswered. “Ok!” Andy said.

“I’ll fetch you and Max at around 6 pm.” Blake said and Andy nodded.

Blake left Andy’s house but before going home, he stopped by at Liam’s house.

“Good evening bro.” Blake said. “Hey, what brings you here?” Liam asked while letting Blake seat on the garden set infront of his house. “I visited Andy and decided to dropped by.” Blake answered. “Want something?” Liam asked. “No need, I’m full.” Blake answered.

After chitchatting for a while about this and that, Liam looked seriously at Blake and asked, “What’s the problem?” “I won’t go around the bush.” Blake said. “I want to court Andy but before doing it, I wanna tell you first.” Blake continued. Liam smiled. “No problem, bro. You have our support.” Liam said. “But, If you’ll be the reason of her tears, that’s a different story.” Liam continued. “Thanks, bro! Don’t worry, I will make her cry.” Blake said.

Liam knew and trusted Blake. From the start of their friendship, he never heard any bad stories about the man. Even with girls, he never heard that Blake was into a relation. Once, he heard Chris was teasing him because Blake told them that he had no girlfriend since birth. At first, they doubted Blake’s gender but later on found out that he’s one of the boys.

Andy is a girl but she seldom wears skirts or dresses. She’s always into jeans or shorts with shirts or blouses. But for tonight, she decided to wear a pink chiffon dress then put a little make up.

Blake sounded his Altitude’s horn. Andy heard it and called Max then went out.

Blake was in dazed. It’s the first time he saw Andy wearing a dress. She’s beautiful in jeans and shirt but she’s more beautiful now.

Andy smiled when she saw Blake but furrowed her forehead looking at Blake’s face. “Hey! What happen to you?” Andy asked. Blake returned to his senses. “I thought I saw a goddess.” Blake aswered and then smiled. “You liar.” Andy said smiling. “Let’s go.” Blake said and opened the door of his car.

“Here we are.” Blake said then guided Andy to a table reserved for them. It’s a Sunday so Pofta Buna were filled with customers. Pofta Buna’s interior and exterior design was not far on Bona Fide’s, but there was one thing that Andy noticed. “Do all your staffs here were male?” Andy asked curiously. “Yeah.” Blake said while pulling the chair for Andy. “Why?” Andy asked. “To avoid temptations.” Blake said smiling. “Really!?” Andy said. “You’re the only temptation I can’t resist.” Blake said teasing Andy. “Yeah, yeah.” Andy said.

Andy ordered Chicken Fried Steak and a Tiramisu while for Blake was Cobb Salad.

All Blake’s staffs were surprised. Their CEO, for the past two years of the third branch of Pofta Buna, didn’t brought any women in their restaurant. It’s the first time they saw him with a girl and it’s good to see them together.

After eating dinner, Blake ordered his staff to bring coffee. Andy wanted a coffee every after meal. When the staff brought the coffee, he can’t avoid looking at Andy and Blake saw him. “Excuse me, Pete, do you want to be your salary in half?” Blake said. Pete understood Blake’s point and said, “I’m sorry, Boss, but your girlfriend here is one of a kind.” Pete said. “Yes, she’s really different from the rest. She’s the manager of Bona Fide, one of our competitors. She owned a Tomahawk and rides it well. And most of all, she’s into Muay Thai.” Blake said continuously. Pete dropped his jaw. “Wow! You really do ma’am?” Pete asked. Andy blushed because she can see respect in Pete’s eyes. “Pete, you want your salary now!?” Blake said, a little annoyance in his voice. “No, Boss, I’ll take my leave.” Pete said scratching his head. Andy can’t stop her giggles.

After their dinner, Blake decided to bring home Andy. She’ll be coming back tomorrow at Bona Fide to work and he doesn’t want to tire her.

“Andy?” Blake said before Andy could go down of his car. “Yes?” Andy said. “I know that we’ve met only for a while and we barely know each other but I want to follow my heart.” Blake said seriously. Andy was quiet. “Can I court you?” Blake asked looking at Andy intently. Andy’s turn to be in daze. “Andy?” Blake asked worried that his question will not answered. Andy looked at him and nodded. Blake smiled widely. “Thank you.” Blake said. Andy went inside her house, suddenly she remembered something. “Max!” She shouted. She forgot Max was still inside Blake’s car. When she opened the door, Blake and Max were standing side side. They both laughed.
