Cornelia's POV
I was helping Grace with the cookies. We baked a chocolate chip cookies. We both loved cooking. We usually cooked together. Anne, Anthony, and Colton were at work. Sophie was at the garden. Sophie loved flower.
I told Grace everything that happened last night at the carnaval. I told her excitedly. She heard my story and gave some comments about how sweet we were, etc. I had so much fun last night. Especially when Colton taught me how to toss the rings. It was really sweet. I loved the fact that Colton called me Lia. I felt warm and comfortable everytime he called me Lia. It has been a long time since someone called me Lia.
I heard my phone rang. I washed my hands first and then pick up my phone.
"Hello?"
"I miss you so much, babe." I knew this voice.
"I miss you too, Tori."
"You haven't called me since you moved out!"
"I'm sorry. I'm kindda busy."
"Busy with your fake boyfriend?" I could tell she was teasing me.
I blushed. "Tori! It's not like that!"
"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Tell me everything that have been happened with you and the lover boy."
I told her everything that have been happened. Everything include the fact that Colton call me Lia.
"Unfair!! You let Colton call you Lia? I never get to call you Lia."
I laughed at her protest. "You can call me Lia if you want. You are my best friend."
"Never mind. It has been my habit call you Cornelia. Call you Lia sound weird." I laughed again.
"So you let me call you Lia because I'm your best friend. Waht about Colton? Why you let him call you Lia?"
"Truthfully, I don't know why."
"You have fallen for him, eh?"
"No! It's not like that."
"Then why?"
No comment from me. I don't even know why. I just let him.
"You can't answer me huh? Some says you don't need a reason to fall in love."
"But I'm not in love with him." I semi whispered her. I was afraid that Grace might heard me. Before Tori said anything I heard Grace shout.
"Cornelia, Can you help me with the cookies in the oven? Please take it out."
"Sure. Grace." I shout back. "Tori, gotta talk to you later. Grace need my help. Bye."
"The soon to be mother in law huh? Just help her. Try to get a good impression. Bye." She teased me again. I rolled my eyes and I ended the call.
I quickly ran to the kitchen and took out the cookies from the oven. The cookies smell good. Looked good also.
"How is it, dear?"
"It's good. It makes me want to eat it."
"Sure. Let's try it."
We took one cookie. And took a bite. It was delicious. The chocolate was good.
"It's good."
"Yeah. It's delicious."
"We should make it again."
I helped her to pack the cookies. We placed the cookies inside a cute big jar. I got a call again.
"Hello?"
"Hi. It's me. Are you busy now?"
"No. I just help your mom with the cookies we made awhile ago. Why?"
"Uumm.. Do you want to have lunch with me?"
"Sure. Why not? Are you not busy yourself?"
"I'm pretty busy. But it's lunch break already."
"Oh. Sure. You will pick me up right?"
"Yeah. Be ready. I will arive there in 15 minutes."
"Okay." I ended the call. I went back to the kitchen and put off my apron. And went to our room. I changed my outfit. I wore comfortable outfit. I wore sweater and jeans trouser. I put a little make up. And done! I'm finished.
I quickly went down to the 1st floor. And waitted for Colton in the living room.
"Do you want to go somewhere?"
I looked at the person who own the voice. It's Sophie.
"Yeah. Colton will take me for a lunch."
"Aww.. This couple is know how to be sweet. You look pretty, dear."
"Thank you, Sophie."
Sophie sat beside me. I let her tried the cookies. She said the cookies are the best cookies she ever taste. I blushed and smiled. Not too long, Colton has arrived. I said my goodbye to Sophie and walked outside. I went inside the car.
"You look pretty."
"Thanks. You are not bad yourself."
"I know, I'm not bad. I'm just too good."
I huffed. We both laughed. He has high self-esteem. He just too confident.
Minutes later, we have arrived at the restaurant. It's not a big restaurant. In fact, it's quite small. I bet the price here is friendly. I mean, not too expensive.
"Why? You don't like here?"
"No! No! It's just weird. A billionaire like you want to eat at this small restaurant."
He smiled. "I eat everywhere I want. Not because of the restaurant's class. It's because of the food."
We picked a seat near the window. The scenery was quite beautiful. It's cloudy today. We took the menu and order view things.
"All the food here look yum. I can't decide. Recommend something for me."
"Umm.. The steak here is good. I love the steak."
"Okay. I will have the same as you."
We called the waitress. We wanted to order already.
"We will have 2 chicken steak with mash potato and 2 lemon tea."
The waitress took the order and went away to the kitchen. She left us alone.
"How is your day?"
"It's good. I and Grace make chocolate chip cookies! Try it when you back from work! It's delicious." I said excitedly.
"How about you? Busy much?" I asked.
"Not really. Alex helps me a lot. We have a long meeting before. It's hard to deal with this company. We haven't made a deal yet. I hope I will get this project."
"Don't worry. I'm sure you will get it."
"Thanks." He smiled.
We didn't wait too long. The food has arrived. We ate the food in silence.
"It's good!"
"I know. I know you will like it here."
We ate again until we finished eating. We went to paid the food in the cashier.
"Hi! Colton!"
"Hi, Mrs. Jackson."
"You bring your girlfriend?"
"Yeah. Let me introduce you two. Lia, this is Mrs. Jackson. She is the owner of this restaurant. Mrs. Jackson, this is Cornelia. She is my girlfriend."
"Hi! Cornelia."
"Hello, Mrs. Jackson. Nice to meet you."
"Colton, you should keep your girlfriend. She is beautiful. I'm sure she has many admires."
"Sure. I will keep her. She is save with me." I hit him on his back. We laughed. We paid for the food and left the restaurant.
"How is it?"
"What?"
"The restaurant."
"It's good. How do you know Mrs. Jackson?"
"I have been her consument since I was in university. I and Alex usually came here after class."
"Oh."
We arrived at home. Colton ushered me to the door.
"Thank you for the lunch. It's nice. Moreover, you don't have to usher me here."
"Nah. It's no problem. I have fun today. Thanks to you."
"Same here. Thanks. You need to get back to the company."
"Yeah. I should go. Bye."
"Bye."
He started to walked away. Without even think, I pulled his hand and gave him a kiss on his cheek. He stared at me in a shock. But he smiled. I blushed. Oh! Stupid me! What have I done!
"Bye." I said. Hiding my red face.
"Bye, Lia." He said. He gave me a kiss on my cheek. Which made my face more redder.
When his car gone. I quickly went inside the house. Uugghh.. What have I done? Why I did that? Stupid me!
