-9- Caribbean & deals

Maybe this chapter is dedicated to

This beautiful girl I love so much

A/n

The rest of the road was in a comfortable silence.

Kinda green flag, personally.

I mean,  I love the communication but I also love to enjoy a comfortable silence with.....well.... people?

" We arrived" Mychelda said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

She drove me to a restaurant called " TI'CHOU"

"What kind of restaurant is it?" I asked her as she helped me step out of the car.

" Caribbean, since you told me you wanted to try a haitian dish"

" I huh- I really appreciate you remember this, Mychelda but I meant you to cook for me "

"I know Atmiz, and I'll keep my promise " she smiled at me,and i smiled back.

To say the restaurant was great is an understatement, it was warm and cozy. Mychelda had made a reservation for a VIP area. Since it's the first time I was in a Caribbean restaurant, I let Mychelda order for me. The food was delicious, and Mychelda and I talked about  work the whole dinner.

Mychelda is a famous incognito photographer, she is also a  teacher in a fashion university. After being out of the country for three months she's finally back. Her next exposition is a few weeks.

I wouldn't imagine Mychelda as a teacher, because she has always been so funny and cheerful, I don't mean a teacher can't be friendly, but — I just can't imagine her as a teacher with her behavior.

" You're okay?  You seem.... worried? " Mychelda said in a concerned voice as she quickly glanced at me.

I suddenly realized that my brows were furrowed, I raised them and blank a few times.

"Is something bothering you?" She continued when I didn't answer.

" No, l was just thinking"I quickly said, she hummed " I see, I'm lunatic too"

I glanced away from the tinted window to her , not believing a word.

" While climax " she added with her usual smirk.

I rolled my eyes, but before I could finish she said " throw this habit, Atmiz" she said in a sudden cold tone.

And suddenly, the tension changed.

" What habit?" " Rolling eyes"she sighed as soon as I answered.

Did she just ....get mad because I rolled my eyes at her.

But she never reacted like this before and it's not the first time I rolled my eyes at her, almost every time she made a dirty joke or comment.

But....when I really think about it, sometimes she just glanced away when I rolled my eyes.

What if....

Before I could rationally think about it , I placed both my hands on Mychelda's thighs, squeezing them while staring at her, but  she deliberately fixed her gaze on the road.

"Listen, I didn't realize that you had a problem with it" I began.

She pressed her lips, squeezing the wheel. " I'm sorry, Mychelda" I tried.

But I knew I would roll my eyes again.

I can't help it.

She signed as she parked the car . I internally smiled knowing I would have all her attention.

She turned her head to face me, and we were so close.

" We arrived , Atmiz" she muttered , as I realized we were in front of my house.

But we didn't move, we stayed like statues, staring at each other.

And she leaned.

Like.....for kiss me.

Lord , is she about to kiss me?

Her eyes diverted from mines to my lips.she leaned closer to me. Before press her lips on my cheek.

A very slow kiss.

" Are you mad? " I whispered, lowering my gaze, suddenly shy.

" I'm not, but I don't like that" she said in the same tone " I also don't dislike this shy side of you"

I really was about to roll my eyes, but l didn't want to change the tension again.

I tilted my head, glancing at her. " Tell me the rest of the story, Mychelda" I tried.

" You know the answer, sweetie "

I hummed,we are still so close.

" Let me walk you home" she said pulling away.

In a matter of seconds, Mychelda was opening the passenger door for me. I pressed my lips and grabbed my purse before stepping out of the car.

" Come in " I offered when we were in front of the front door.

" If you want" she kindly answered, eyeing me . I turned on my heels to open the doors, which was locked, meaning Gaïa's not here.

Thank the universe, I'm so blessed.

We entered the house as I walked into the kitchen. Mychelda was taking her surroundings, I profited to pour us a couple glass of wine.

Red wine, of course.

" Here" I said behind her

She turned around with my favorite smile of hers.

I handled the glass, and she took it  without hesitation.

" Why are you smiling like this? "  I asked, smiled at her.

" Do you realize that we met just this thursday?"

" Yeah " I  breathed out happily, guiding her to the living room.

" And it's like you always been there" . She nodded before sipping in her wine.

"I feel alike" she sat down on the couch " but feel it's too much for you, please —"

" It's okay " I cut her off before she could continue. " Are you sure ?". She arched a brow

I nodded.

" Words " her  said.

I furrow my brow , not understanding what she meant.

" I mean use your words, Atmiz, don't just nod or shrug or something I mean of course you can do this but I prefer words." She explained

I stood up from the couch I was and come in the one she was. "I'm sure, it's not a rush for me, it's crazy, in a positive way"

" It's crazy, yeah"

" So.......do you have another suggestion about the rest of the story ? because I really need to know and I m not begging." I said glancing down at the glass in my hands.

" Actually, yes  I got a better idea "she revealed in her usual calm tone.

" Oh yeah, what it is?" I exclaimed,  curious.

" I can't tell you yet" she said while leaning on the couch" where is your sister? "She asked, looking around like to find my sister.

" At her house, naturally " I tilted my head.

" Can you give me her number, please? "  I arched a brow" why do you want it?"

I'm not sharing you

" Well there is that deal I made with my best friend…"

Mychelda explained to me a deal that she made with her best friend,  she needed a single girl who loooove shopping and stuff, who will accept to stay with her best friend a whole day.

" But it was a deal, what will she get in return?"

She pressed her lips while smiling " I'm showing something , but I'm not telling you"

" Who am I to force you, this is between you, your best friend and Gaïa , if she agrees." I shrugged.

But I knew she'll agree

" I'll ask Gaia if I can give her number and if she says so, I'll send it to you immediately " I assured her as she kindly nodded.

" Thank you " she smiled at me.

I smiled back at her " I just wanna be there when it will do our part of the deal"

" You definitely will be here, Atmiz"

" Good" I signed as l put the now empty glass in the coffee table." Well I think it's time to go, unfortunately" she said and stood up.

" So, unfortunately" I signed, standing up myself.

I don't want her to leave

And I don't understand why

" Let me walk you out " I offered and she nodded.

We walked in a comfortable silence till we were next to the shiny grey G-Wagon.

" Thanks for tonight, Mychelda, I really loved" I  said a genuine grateful voice.

Surprisingly, Mychelda pulled me in a hug, and of course I hugged back resting my head on her chest.

"I don't want you to leave yet" I mused

" Awe , you're so cute right now, I'll call you later, I got a quick trip to do tomorrow and I got more details to prepare " she said

" I understand, but don't forget to call me, whenever you get time "

She hummed in response as I pulled back from the hug before entering the car.

" Have a good night, Atmiz " she carefully said " you too ,Mychelda"

And just like that, I was alone in front of my house,, with a lot of questions in my mind. And the number one was

Why do I act differently with, Mychelda ?
