“Alright, then let’s move it.”

After that, all of the Hunters walked in their group to the place they have been determined to observed.

Dee watched Dale as Dale take order from the waiter. She still couldn’t believe that she would go with this man. She is trying hard to ignore him since they lived in the same house and at the same group. Never does she want to be like this: doing the mission together with Dale. It was like a nightmare for her.

Dale look at Dee briefly as he spoke, “What do you want to order?”

“I’ll eat everything. So, just order what you think is good.”

Dale nodded as he continued to speak with the waiter.

After Dale done taking orders, the waiter walked away to do his job.

Dale look at Dee. Dee deliberately didn’t want to look at Dale so she just crossed her hand on her chest and look at the other customers who come to the Rendemoir Upstairs Cafe.

This cafe has a good and nice view since it was built on a rooftop. From their place, Dee can see the city in front of them and the panorama of the sea. Dee smiled when she enjoyed the view: she feel more relaxed.

“You like this place?” asked Dale as he saw Dee’s pleased face when she look surround her.

“Of course… This place has its own valuable view. Not everyday we could see things like this,” Dee replied.

“If you like, we can go here every day,” said Dale. If she likes it, then what is the problem to just give what she likes…

Dee shifted her head to Dale with a surprised look. “I thought that we are forbidden to go outside unless it is for a mission? Can we go here because we just want to eat?” asked Dee.

“Not really. As long as the vampire don’t know our whereabouts, then we are safe. We just come here to eat, right? We are not going to kill some of the vampire… Besides, the vampires here is active only at night,” said Dale.

“Oh…”

Dale look at Dee again and Dee still don’t want to look at him. Just a second ago, she was looking at him and now she was looking at somewhere else. Dale know how much Dee want to ignore him but since they have to do their work, they have to do it together.

“You know, you were funny last night when I take you to your room,” Dale said. He just wants to attract these girl attention and make her look at him again. And like he predicted it, Dee quickly turned her head toward Dale with a surprised face.

“What? What’s funny about that? And why did you the one who send me to my room?” asked Dee curiously. If Dale who really take her to her room last night, then she must be doing something crazy. After all, she was drunk, only Dale who witnessed what she does when she drunk last night.

Dale chuckled when he saw the surprised look in Dee’s face. It indeed attract Dee’s attention to him. “Relax, girl… You did nothing, just playing around like a crazy person in your bedroom before you asleep.”

Dee’s mouth opened widely. Her mind quickly imagine how crazy she was last night. Dee trying to remember everything she has done but nothing come in her mind. Then she looked at Dale again and asked with a curious face,” Tell me.. How crazy I was? ”

“Is it crazy enough if you keep jumping off from your bed to the floor, shouting ‘I can flyyyy’???”

That’s it. She must be really drunk to do that! Dee never do that kind of thing in front of man like Dale, she doesn’t have the courage. But it was different if she was drunk. This is it, my life is end… How could I live after this if this man sees everything I do…

Dale then laughed when he saw the red face of Dee, showing that she was already embarrassed. Dee who was starting to get annoying because Dale laughed at her, take the spoon on the table and pointed it to Dale.

“I’ll kill you if you ever tell anybody about this!!”

Dale did stop laughing. “Oh, I’m not gonna tell anyone about this.” And then he started to laugh again.

“Stop laughing, you idiot!! It’s not funny!!”

“You just don’t know how many crazy things you did last night… You want me to tell you all the crazy things you’ve done. I’m sure you want to hear it,” said Dale again, still want to teased Dee and didn’t care that Dee still annoyed by him.

“Stop it, I don’t like it when people make fun of me!” said Dee with a serious face. Dee really don’t like it when people make fun of her mistakes. It is too embarrassing.

When Dale heard it, he quickly stop laughing. When he saw the sulking face of Dee, he knows that Dee is serious about what she just saying. “You shouldn’t get drunk if you don’t want people make fun of you… You lucky it was me who take you last night. If it was another man, they would take advantage of you already…”

Dee scoffed annoyingly. “Who would want to take advantage of me? I’m not someone can take advantage like that. If it was Suzy or Rivera or Nalini… I won’t feel weird about it.”

“So you were saying that you are not pretty?” asked Dale. He doesn’t like how the sounds she said about herself. It makes her look weak. Dale not the type of man who likes a very beautiful woman, an average girl would be good for him too. That is why he doesn’t know how to qualified women based on their beauty. But he always saw the girl in front of him as a beautiful girl. Everything she does is so pretty in his eyes. He can stop but keep looking to her.

Dee didn’t say ‘no’ or ‘yes’ instead she was just looking down, asking herself about what Dale just said. It was true that she was not beautiful like Suzy and Rivera, nor strong like Becky… Even Nic are stronger than Dee, also she is not like the high-spirited Livnah and Bambam… Chellyne is not every like the other girls but she was a wise and clever girl… Dee could do anything but she could never be like her other friends: they always get the attention of other people’s attention.

Seeing Dee’s face like that make Dale convinced that Dee really look down upon herself. He didn’t like it because no matter what she looks like, she is pretty herself.

“I didn’t say that I was pretty nor I was not… But I was different from my other friends. Suzy and Rivera is the prettiest among us, they stand out everywhere they are… Becky get the power that every Hunters want: the power that can kill hundreds of vampires. I’m not someone who was high-spirited like Bambam or Livnah. They can make anyone laugh every time they talk… Chellyne….. ”

“That’s bullshit!” Dale cut off Dee’s word.

Dee surprised at Dale’s words and she looks at him. Dale was leaning over his chair calmly and he look at Dee with his unpleasantly eyes.

“What?” asked Dee.

“You looking down at yourself… I don’t like it…”

Dee turned stunned after what Dale said.

“I don’t care about your damn friends… Because all this time I was just looking at you. Don’t you realise that my eyes were set only on you? If you keep compare yourself to other people, when are you gonna be proud of yourself. You are a diamond yourself… You just don’t realise that.”

Dee didn’t say much as she kept looking down, still processing about what Dale just said. She know what Dale’s said is true. But when Dale said that his eyes were only looking at her and only set for her, she was surprised as she never realised it. But since when did he start doing it…

Finally Dee lifted up her head and look Dale directly in his eyes. “Are you stalking me? Since when did you always check me up?”

Dale sighed in disbelief. In all those times he tried to cheer her up and convinced her that she also had her own unique character, Dee was actually thinking about him stalking her. Did she really think about that all the time?

“Are you listening to me??”

“Yeah, of course I’m listening to you… But, did you really stalked me out? You watched everything I’ve done before?? You stalker, why did you do that?” said Dee irritably. When she thinks about how Dale stalked her, it was so horrible. Just so horrible.

“Not watch everything.. Just when I saw you, I check you out. And I didn’t stalked you, keep that in mind!” said Dale want to corrected Dee’s mindset about him.

“That’s the same thing as stalking. Dale you monster!! How dare you stalk me!!” said Dee again.

Dale quickly put his hands up to the air, indicating that he give up. “Okay, I give up… but I never do improper things while watching you!”

Dale was hoping what he said could make Dee calm but Dee become more angrier. “That means you are going to do something bad after this! You flirty jerk!!”

“What… Noooo!!”
