Ch 12
Ron: That’s great…I’ll come pick you up…and we’ll go on our first date…
Leila: I don’t want you to come and pick me up…I want to play a little game of fate with you…
Ron: A little game of fate?
Leila: Yes…if you can find me…then that would mean that we’re really meant for each other…if not then…forget it
Ron: Any destination in particular?
Leila: I’ll be shopping…that’s all I’ll tell you
Ron smiled: That’s all I need to know…well then…I’ll see you later…darling…
His last word made her giggle as she hung up the phone…
Leila was already on her way to go shopping…but what was she shopping for exactly…and how in the world will Ron be able to find her…of course she knew he had his ways…
Leila entered the largest shopping mall and was all ready very excited for today she was going to literally “shop till she drops” that is…if Ron doesn’t find her.
After Ron had ended the conversation with Leila…he quickly turned on his laptop and hacked into the surveillance system of the largest mall…thinking that she could possibly be there. And he was right. He noticed that she had just walked into the mall and now was looking at handbags. He smiled after he realized that she was looking right at the surveillance camera…
It was time for him to go there and meet up with her before she leaves the mall…he headed out, into his car and drove off with his laptop beside him. She was still wondering the mall and as he looked at his watch it was noon so she had to go and get something to eat…and his prediction was correct…she was heading towards the food court…
When he got to the mall he parked his car and linked his laptop to his iPhone so that he can continue to keep an eye on her…he realized that he was getting closer to her for that was what the screen had shown…
There she sat sipping her espresso and gazing intently at her food…while thinking about where Ron could be.
He tapped her on the shoulder and as she turned around he disappeared…she was beginning to feel as if she has been found in their little game of fate…that could also be known as hide and go seek…but now she felt as if she was the one looking for him rather than the other way around…
He smiled as he walked away and saw her puzzled look as she stood up and tried to figure out who or what had tapped her on the shoulder…he quickly gave her a call
Leila’s phone rang and she immediately knew that it was Ron…
Leila: Hello
Ron: Is that espresso any good?
Leila: Where are you? (She looked around)
Ron smiled: I guess it’s time for you to go and find me for I’ve already found you…and that piece of tiramisu looks fantastic…how about you buy me a piece…
Leila: I’ll buy you a piece of cake if you step out
Ron: I have to forfeit the game for a piece of cake?
Leila: And a lovely girlfriend…
Ron: Oh…now that sounds like a much better deal…all right then…I’ll step out…but you have to close your eyes…and keep your phone to your ear…when I count to three then you can open them…
Leila: Fine…
Ron smiled and walked towards her from behind: One…
He walked closer: Two
Now his arms were around her waist and she knew it was he: Three
She opened her eyes and turned around and was greeted with a passionate kiss on the lips by Ron.
Leila finally freed herself from his grasp and kiss: I guess you won
Ron: And you’re my prize
Leila smiled: So what do you want to do now?
Ron: I’ll do anything as long as you’re here with me…
Leila: Anything?
Ron: Well not exactly anything…
Leila turned around
Ron: What did you want me to do?
Leila: I haven’t decided yet…
Ron: Let me decide then…he took a hold of her hand and walked her out of the mall…they went down to the parking lot where Ron had parked his car and he drove off…
Leila: Where are we going?
Ron: You’ll see when we get there…
They finally arrived and Leila was very puzzled…
Leila: Why are we at the airport…
Ron: I want to take you to Venice…where we can go through the streets in a gondola…as we watch the sunset…
Leila smiled: So our first date…and you take me to Venice
Ron smiled and nodded: We’ll stay there for a week…enjoy each other’s company…just the two of us…so that no one can interfere…
They went to the ticket booth and bought two tickets to Venice…they had no luggage or anything…but this was an adventure they both were willing to go on…
They boarded the plane and Leila held onto Ron’s hand…this wasn’t the first time she’s been on a plane…but it was the first time she traveled somewhere with someone that she actually had feelings for. It was funny to her how usually she would be the one taking her ‘assignments’ to these places and then finishing them off there…but this time around…he took the initiative to do so. Maybe they were destined to be…but she knew that her plan was working…for he’s falling for her…or she assumes.
Ron looked at her and wondered how she can smile through all that pain she had to suffer from when she was young. He wondered how she would feel once she finds out the truth about everything…and he wondered if what he was doing was right…He only wanted what was best for both the organization and her…but the only way to do that was to use her feelings. He felt as if he was now the ‘bad’ guy doing all of these things…but he had no choice…he had to do it.
The two of them soon dozed off as the plane took off…Leila’s head was now on Ron’s shoulder as they were still hand in hand and asleep…
~Dream~
They sat at the bench park looking into the sky
Old Lady: We’ve been together for 40 years now…
Old Man: And I’ve been hiding the truth from you for 40 years now…
Old Lady: The truth?
Old Man sighed: I never loved you…
Hearing those words…the old lady held on to her chest as she began panting…she was having a heart attack from hearing his words…40 years of her life…spent…loving him and taking care of him…and now…
~End~
Ron woke up with droplets of sweat on his forehead…
Ron muttering to himself: It was just a dream…nothing more…nothing…
Leila opened her eyes and saw Ron looking very pale…she quickly took out some tissue to wipe his sweat…and while she was doing so Ron took a hold of her hand…
Ron: Sorry…
Leila: for what?
Ron: for waking you up…
He couldn’t do it…not right now…
