Chapter 2 part 2
"Due to tapas word count limitations I had to cut the chapter into two parts."
…
An idea strucked into his head, a ridiculous one…
Davie leaned his back down and his knees, low enough for him to balance and enough for Sam to hop on.“Hop on to my back~”.
“What?? Hahaha”.Sam shocked at Davie’s idea and laugh at where she’s standing, which is beside Davie.
Davie looked at Sam and shouted“Hurry, I don’t have my motorcycle with me, so hop on hurry”.
Sam while laughing and can’t believe what his friend resorted to, since she doesn’t actually have enough time she just go on with his friend’s ridiculous idea to get on the office.
“Hold tight to my belly~”.
“Okay~ hahaha this is soo ridiculous Dae hahah”.
Davie prepared for the run like what a racer did to a race, and ran as fast as he could~
As they both fleed like a kid playing a piggy back on the street, they caught attention of those they passed by, some cheered, some shocked and can’t believe what they just saw, some also laughed at them.
Since Davie didn’t know where exactly is the office, Sam became his road guide.
They hit stopped at a mall(Mall of Asia) to bought a decent outfit for Sam…
The guard of the mall was worried at them, seeing Davie panting and Sam getting off from Davie’s back.
The guard can’t believe what he had just saw with his two eyes.
After Sam get off from Davie’s back, “Your heavy”, pant…pant…
“You almost crack my back…”
“Hey wait up!.”, Davie’s panting with his back hunched down walking like an old grandpa.
“Hurry up, Dae~, We need to be quick or I will be late.”Sam hurried to the inside of the mall and immediately proceeded to the nearest dress section to buy new clothes.
Davie finally caught up to Sam at the dress section.
“How much time I still have left?”, Sam asked Davie which is standing behind her.
Davie opened his phone and checked the time, “15 minutes (2:15pm)”.
“Can’t believe I actually ran pretty fast despite you on my back heavy as a pig”, Davie teased Sam.
“Who you calling a pig?”, Sam responded to Davie with a dilated eye that stares straight to Davie’s soul.
Davie felt nervous and replied with stuttering voice“P-piig?, I n-never said such a thing?...”. he looked away and gulp his throat.
Sam spend the next 5 minutes choosing a decent dress, she headed in to the dressing room to try her newly picked dress.
“Hey Dae, can you hear me?”,Sam shouted inside the dressing room.
Davie turned his head back, to the sound where Sam is in, “Yes, Why Sammie?”.
“Could you please come into the dress section, I will come out and you judge my dress if it nice.”
“Sure, no problem”, Davie put his phone to his pant pockets and entered the dress section and waited to the front of the dressing room.
Sam opened the dressing room, revealing her in an open two button dark blue tuxedo coat, with a white polo on the inside one button untucked on her neck, paired with baige pants and a black pointed shoes and a ponytailed hair.
Davie frozed on the spot he was standing after he saw Sam on her job appointment outfit.
“Hello Dae are you still there?”, Sam curiously asked Davie.
Davie snapped back, “Oh— yeah, yeah, right…”.
“Get serious, I will gonna be late.”, Sam said to Davie.
“Well… what I am gonna say, I’m left speechless, you looked— pretty”, Davie compliment, he was truly left speechless and blushing.
“Really?”, Sam doubted, and turned 360° rotation.
“Yeah~”, Davie replied with a smile.
Sam gets satisfied with Davie’s compliment, she headed to the dressing room to undress and payed for the outfit at the counter, afterwards Sam head again to the dressing room to change.
Sam and Davie finally walked out the mall, but before the finally leave the area the guard called them both.
“Wait, Did you guys know you are cute couples?”.
Sam and Davie looked at each other shocked and laugh, “No, no, we are just friends”,They both replied to the guard.
“You sure? You two looked like couples and also you both holding each other’s hand”.
Sam and Davie looked at where the guard pointed and they both realized they unconsciously held both of their hands.
“It’s an accident, we are just friends”.
“Okay, denied it all you want”...
Davie checked the time on his phone and noticed it’s already 2:20pm.
Luckily a tricycle arrived at their spot, and they ride it to the office.
They arrived—
It was a very tall glass building, 32 floors hypothetically, and it’s name can be seen above “Mega Tv Station”.
“I am getting nervous Dae~~”, Sam held up tight both hands of Davie.
“Breathe in, Breath out”.
“Okay~~”, Sam followed Davie, she deeply exhaled and inhaled thrice.
Davie patted Sam at her head and hugged her tightly and patted her back.
“Don’t overthink too much, just looked at the interviewer”,Davie fixated Sam’s face in the center looking at him and gestured to just looked at the interviewers eyes.
“and do your best at answering”, Davie followed up.
“Good luck Sammie~~”.
“Thank you Dae”, Sam heart fully thanks Davie before she stepped into the building.
Davie waved back before Sam finally fades of his sight…
After an hour of waiting Sam finally finished her interview.
“Thank you ma'am for the opportunity~”. Sam shake the hands of the interview and bowed as a gesture of gratitude.
“Thank you too, Miss Samantha Taylor, We will hit you a call after we further inspect your provided CV”.
“Please do call me Ma’am, I'd gladly accept any job position, thank you again Ma’am”, Sam thanks before she step out of the office.
Davie on the other hand bought a dunkin donut tray containing 4 donuts and 2 Dunkin coffee also In a tray but on his left hand.
Sam step out of the building and shouted while jumping,“Daee!! ”.
Davie held up the donut and coffee he was holding, “Sammie~~”, and approaches Sam.
“How was the interview?”. Davie asked Sam after he offered Sam a donut.
While munching the strawberry donut, “Mmshh-ee shweemmm”, Sam gulped in the donut and asked for the coffee Davie was holding in his left hand.
“Hey, Digest it slow and nicely”, Davie worriedly said to Sam.
Gulp,” So what I am saying was— she said she'd hit me a call after they further check my CV resume”, Sam nervously said to Davie, her voice almost crack, then hugged Davie tightly, “Daeee, I'm really nervous”.
Davie eyes widen when Sam Hugged him, “Hey, don't cry~”.
Sam cried intensified.
After a few minutes of hugging, Davie and Sam finally arrived at Sam's house door.
Sam and Davie knocked on the door.
Sam's Mother opened the door, she noticed Sam was with Davie so she invited him to joined them for dinner.
Davie refuses but his tummy growled.
“Hey, you are my friend, don't be shy~”.
Sam teased Davie and hold him by his shoulder and forcefully dragged him inside.
