11 11. Fragrance.

His grey orbs were fixated on me and all of a sudden with his index finger he tapped on my nose and whispered. "Aw, you're adorable." I glared at him with my furious hazel eyes.

Raising my perfect arched brow, I glare and asked. "What was the purpose for inviting me for a coffee? And as you promised that you will find my passport, you found it?"

He smirked at me and said. "I really has a good news according to your lost belonging. But I was only meant to say the news in the café and I guess you lost the chance."

Dragging death glare at me, I frowned. "You're kidding with me! We are kicked out the café." And rolling my eyes I stated obvious. "You can share the details outside the café, it's not mandatory to be in the café."

"Dear, what does the note says? Meet me in the café but unfortunately, we are out of the café. Well, there is no good remark for you." And he simply shrugged off his shoulder.

Frowning my brows, I shaked my head in disbelief and said. "You're unbelievably gross and why Am I still tagged with you?"

"You seem to be in a bad mood." Stretching on a every word, he said like a five year old cute kid.

But he's not cute.

Forcing a smile at him, I stated pretty obvious." No wonder, you're the reason."

He jerked his hand in the pocket and flashed his dazzling grin at me and said. "Smile, darling! Every moment is the expensive." And abruptly, his grey orbs wandered on the vacant path, confronting a smirk at me he teased. "Standing on the cold path and no one around us. Do you got any plans in your little mind."

Pacing towards him I crossed my hand against my chest and said. "Yes, pushing you off the cliff." And rolled my eyes.

Taking a few more steps towards me his face approached to a greater extent near my face and he said. "Ah! Ah! Don't can't ever wish that."

The closeness between us caused his fresh, strong cologne to hit my nostrils, making me go swoon and I stumbled. The action caused me to bend backward. Suddenly, a hand slides on my waist and prevented me from collapse.

Uncertainly, I removed his hand from my waist and tripping forward, I slightly apart my lips for a fresh air.

Breathing heavily, I stammered. "I- I'm allergic to strong fragrance of colognes."

The fragrance of his strong cologne dispersed in the atmosphere around me and unintentionally caused to suffocation.

My sudden action puzzled him and he slowly distanced himself from me and stammered. "Oh, I-I'm sorry." And added with a concern. "Are you okay? Do you need CPR?"

I glazed at him furiously even at my worst state he dally in an amorous manner. Gasping for fresh air I scorned. "Are you kidding? Just don't come near me!"

His slender pink lips slightly turned into a pout and he said. "Hey, that's not polite. I was willing to provide the oxygen."

Rolling my eyes, I started walking on a distant from him as he never leave a chance to flirt and I groaned. "Save your stale oxygen for someone else."

He jerked his hand in his pocket and shortly, started taking a pace behind me and he whispered with a smirk. "A burning potato."

While moving forward I take a turn against him in the distance, the action caused me to face him directly. Relieving a sigh of frustration, I yelled at him. "I completely wasted my whole day for you and I really regret. I wouldn't have accepted your letter nor listen to Mandy."

Shrugging off his shoulder, he dumbfoundedly said. "I have my ways to make your day better or get concerned about touchy-feely." And he sent a wink in my direction.

I, honestly stated. "You get better and better being a gross."

Hahhaha!

The sound of a laughed echo on the plain street, snapping me in his direction.

His laugh is sexy.

He displayed his dazzling grin at me and said with a smirk. "And you get better and better with a witty remarks."

Slightly, my lips curled into a smile and ignoring him, I started pacing further.

Unexpectedly, a gush of cold breeze hit me, causing my skirt to lifted up and the result engaged in exposing my pale upper thighs. The sudden action made me gasp and abruptly, I placed my hand over my skirt.

"Wow! Tsk! I'm enjoying that."

Without warning a quick statement made me gasped and my eyes widen as a realization strike me that he was behind me. I took a turn without removing my hand from my skirt and I frowned. "Ah! You pervert!"

He surrendered his hands in the air and innocently, he said. "I didn't do anything."

My cheeks started fuming up and embarrassingly, I ordered him. "I know, come in front!"

He didn't laid his hand down, with a surrender hands, he slowly moved in front and I maintain to drag death glare at him.

As we go further, my eyes landed on the lake which was located behind the park on the left side.

Pointing my finger at the park, I exclaimed. "There is a lake." Glaring at him I grip his wrist and I proceed forward. The action made him follow me.

A large public garden, often found trees and plants. The grass was crispy under our feet. We looked up and the trees were skyscraper tall. The sound of chirping of birds echoes from above the trees causing me to admire from afar. A certain sound of laughing of children resonates between the bushes and shrubs. A few people were engaged in physical activities and soon I found myself surrounded with greenery.

While passing across between the huge trees of the park, I crossed the fence holding his hand in an excitement and abruptly, my eyes widen struck at the view.

The lake was as silver as diamond flame pristine and the atmosphere was convent quiet. Even the depths were vodka clear. The rising sun caused a division of armed flies to swarm into the air. The place was free from disturbance by heavy waves. The scene was so glorious that I had a lightning bolt moment.

Shortly, my eyes widen at the canoe. A light, narrow boat with pointed ends and propelled with a pair of bladed paddles which was resting near the shore.

A huge grin was plastered on my face and I titled my head towards him. With a beaming eyes I clasp my hand together in admiration and placed on my chest while I exclaimed. "Let's get in the canoe!"
