"What a cliché" I say while walking out of the cinema hall with Jenna
"why are all rom-coms the same? Like they meet, they date, they fight, they split. They realize they can't live without each other. They get back together" I say while we make our way to the exit and as we get out.
Jenna turns to me and says "some people like clichés and can we forget about the movie and have a day out already?" I nod and she grabs onto my arm and we start window shopping
After the dinner we had, Jenna planned a day out for her and I on Sunday. It was a good idea since we needed one after spending and working so hard in the office.
We planned to go see an action movie, but there were none that interested me so we watched rom-com that pissed me off.
Then we thought about going window shopping and maybe catch lunch.
"Have you always been this way?" Jenna asks while picking up a candle holder. we had gone to a store that sells rustic items to make your house more 'homely'.
"of course, even when I was a kid. I never liked fairy tales since they were dumb and made no sense" I say while sniffing a rose candle.
I don't buy items like these since I worry that Felix might eat them and also my apartment looks like a jail. I like it that way, so having a candle will ruin it.
I have always like organized and modern homes since it was easier to find everything and cleaner. But people still tell me that my house is cute and stuff like that
We spent most of the day just talking and shopping. I was a little suspicious of Jenna since she wanted to find something. not so sure why though.
"Are you okay? You look like you are looking for something" I ask while stirring my green tea.
It's September and I am sensitive to the cold so we sat inside a café and we're having tea and chatting.
"I need to get a present for Jeremy since his birthday is coming up" she says, after talking a sip of her jasmine tea.
"oh when is his birthday?" I ask.
Jenna thinks about it for a seconds and then says "24th of September. Matthew's birthday was on March 7th"
I stare at Jenna, I forgot his birthday? Well it's not that big of a deal but I should remember my employee's birthdays.
After looking for who-knows-how-long we finally find a shop that sells stuff. Jenna wants to present Jeremy something from there.
"Excuseme but I will be buying that" we hear from behind us. We see a snobby looking woman staring at us and scowling.
she's wearing a purple dress. That looks like a fake and her face is masked in tons of makeup "sorry.But we were here first so we are buying it"
Jenna says since I'm speechless. I think on how much this woman looks like Cruella de Vil "have I done something amusing?"
she asks me in a shrill voice "oh no I'm just thinking how you found the mentality to kill 101 Dalmatians"
I say while smiling, Jenna starts laughing and the reaper keeps staring at me with fury
"I don't care when you came, I am buying that frame!" she yells at us and tries to reach for the frame but I block her path and she looks up at me
"listen skeleton, I don't care how rich you are or what you do, I am not handing you that frame. Why don't you just scamper out of here and get into your car and ride off to meet your cheating husband. Fight with him, huh?" I say, it has always been a thing of mine to intimidate people
the woman stares at me and Jenna smirks while holding the frame and she walks to the counter and buys it
"well, you are a keen one. Would you like to join my company? we're looking for people like you" she says while handing me her business card
I just stare at her and say "I already have a job and I wouldn't want to skin puppies so no thanks"
and then walk out of the shop with Jenna "holy shit man" Jenna says
I smirk at her and say "I know"
We go to a Chinese restaurant and order some food and we wait at our table. the only thing we bought was the photo frame for Jeremy.
Jenna looked happily at the frame and I just smiled and thought 'I hope she knows what she's doing'
"So you know that he like you, huh?" Jenna asks, I nod and eat my noodles, she continues to say "so what are you going to do?"
I look up and say "well he just needs time but he'll move on and find someone else. It's not that he's a bad guy but we would distract each other from our jobs"
oh no, I should not have said that "wait! So you would date him if you weren't working together?" Jenna asks excited
I sigh and say "look I have no issue in dating him but I am afraid he might fall in love with me. I won't be able to love him back, that's it"
Jenna stares at me, wide eyed and smiling, "you like him?" she asks
I smile and say "yes, I like him but I don't love him"
Jenna grins and hold my hand and says "don't worry! You might fall for him someday!"
I stare at her and think 'I screwed up'
