CHAPTER 7: BOTH TENSED!!!

If you are telling me the truth then maybe you can let me go with you and go out on a date? Please let me. 

I was shocked when Josh uttered that. I'm about to eat the steak stabbed using my fork when he said that and It feels like my hands get numb when I heard him pleasing me to go on a date with him. 

I stopped for a while, I'm really speechless. I don't know what to say, I can't utter any words but "Ahhhmm... Hmmm... Uhh... Please excuse me for a while aaaa-I just go to the rest room.

Yeah sure. I'll wait for you, he said and smiled at me like nobody can recognized how happy he was that moment. 

When I reached the rest room, I wipe my sweat falling down in my face. His question really made me shocked. I can't believe it. It's a dream come true. The Josh I saw in my dream is real. He's so romantic. Ohh wait, what should I say? I mean, what should I answer. Am I going to say yes or no? Uggghhhh! I am so confused! Yanie calm down. Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Calm down! Your heart beats so fast. Don't let this feeling occupy your mind! Don't let him notice that you have butterfly in your stomach. I said to myself and when I heard someone calling me...

"Hey! Miss what took you so long using the rest room?

She said then followed by another voice uttering, "Is she with someone inside?

Then another whispered, "Is that lady talking to herself? What a crazy lady she is!

When I opened the door, I saw some ladies in line, there's a lot of ladies waiting for me to get out. They all glared at me but I apologized with them bowing my head until I walked away from them. I walked confidently and go back to Room 702. 

Josh's POV

Uggghhh! Maybe I got a wrong move saying I want to date her. Isn't that fast to invite her for a date? Ohhh yeah. We just must earlier this morning. Maybe she will say no! 

Josh stands up and he walks like he doesn't know what to think, like he doesn't know what to do. He's walking from left to right and then go back again from right to left repeatedly. He looks like crazy walking and walking while his hands are both on his pants' pocket then suddenly put it on his waist.

After 5 minutes, he looked at his watch and decided to sit down and go back to his chair.

I can say that this night at this moment with Yanie really makes me feel happy, the feeling that I've never felt with other ladies I have dated for the past years. 

Ohh nooo! I forgot I felt this kind of happiness with my childhood sweetheart, Niez. But when we moved here in the city, I wasn't able to see her anymore.

Until now, I wasn't able to experience having a girlfriend. Yes, I have No Girlfriend Since Birth. I'm (NGSB) maybe that is because my heart is waiting for the perfect girl for me. Yanie is not just an ordinary lady. She's quite unique. So far, she's the only female I know who became detective. I worked with other agencies but all of us there are all males. 

My heart beats so fast when I'm with her. Now, she's 5 minutes in the rest room but her eyes, her nose, her lips, her face, her body, are all still clear on my mind. All of those really attract all of my senses though she's not in front of me. I'm always thinking of her face when I first dreamed of her. I was so confused with myself when I'm dreaming of her everyday this month. Now, that I saw her personally it feels like my dream came true. 

If the fortune teller saw me with Yanie in the future then I should be prepared for it. Yanie is not like other ladies out there. She's the only female detective in the agency. Everybody can like her and court her because of her attractive personality including that flirt, nerd and weird Harvey.

Maybe I should practice courting her. Wait, how should I start? How should I tell her that I want to court her? 

Uhhhhh! Why is it I'm talking to myself alone? I tapped my face and tried to wake up myself from a dream. But when I opened my eyes, I saw Yanie sitting on her chair smiling in front of me. I widened my eyes and cover my mouth. Am I looked tensed? Ohhh nooo! I should not let her see I'm tensed. I fixed myself and uttered, "Hey! I'm glad you're back."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah. Hmmm... Josh it's getting late. I need to go home, I guess? Though no one is waiting for me to come home I need to go home early tonight. I'm tired. Is it okay with you? I asked him.

Let me take you home Yanie so I can assure that you're safe. Please? Josh asked him with a sweet voice. 

Yanie nodded and smiled at him. They both used the elevator going down the ground floor where Josh's car was parked.

We are about to reach the parking lot when I accidently stumbled over a rock and got sprained. 

Ouuuccccchhh! My right foot, it's aching. Josh bent his right knee while his left foot was on the floor. He touched my foot and takes off my shoes. 

You have bruise and I think you got sprained. Next time you have to be careful. Don't use high heels if you can't use it confidently. Look at you know! He shouted at me. I glared at him and pushed him away. 

Hey! I can use high heels; it was an accident. Stay away from me. I can walk without your support. I tried to get up but I fell down. I tried to get up the second time but I fell down again. 

See! You need help. Don't glare at me. I know what you're thinking. I'm not taking advantage on you. Whether you like it or not I will carry you. 

I can't control myself his right hand works on it own touching her legs and about to cross. My left arm supports her back and my hand held her shoulder tight. I stared at her while asking her not to move in a childish way, she is old enough to do it. 

Josh carried Yanie until they reached his car. He opened the door of his Convertible Cabriolet car and put Yanie inside the car but his feet unintentionally out of balance and his face gets closer to her face. 

I apologized to her but I was shocked when she slapped my face. But I understand, maybe because she thought that I will do something bad to her but honestly, I can't do what she's thinking about me. So, I get up and move to the other door to open it and drive her home. 

Finally, we reached her apartment. She just glared at me but I noticed her smile when she turned back and about to get inside her house. 

While driving, I thought of her smile again, Uuggghhh! She's driving me crazy. I really like her. I hope she likes me too. I can't wait to be with her for a life time and be my girlfriend in the near future.
