the police

Chapter 6

Liana esperanza p'o'v

I'm here in my room listening to music while reading a novel. I have a habit of getting really wet while listening to music. It's been almost a week since the news of Noah's murder was reported. Until now, the police still don't know who the culprit is. They also said that the killer who did that to Noah seems to be good and very skilled.

"Hey, it's boring." I said to myself when I finished reading the novel I was reading. I stood up and took my Sell phone from the shelf. When I opened my Sell phone, the notifications immediately appeared. But there was one that stole my attention. to me and that's a message that I don't know whose number it is.

You got 1 message from 09********8

[Unknown: hi good after.

: Look at your door.

I just looked at the text, I don't know who it was and how he knew my name and number.. I felt scared and Kaba. because I was curious I looked out the window. I saw a box in front of our door. what so that??

I hurried out of my room and went downstairs to see what the contents of the box were. When I got downstairs I opened the door. I took the box and opened it slowly. I was also nervous about what it contained. When I opened it, I smiled when I saw two packs of my favorite chocolate and there was a letter with it. I looked around to see if the person who gave it was somewhere nearby, but there was not a single shadow.

Who can give it to me?? Valentine's day is over...

I went inside and sat on the sofa. I looked at what was written in the letter.

Hi, lian

Um, I found out that's your favorite chocolate, so that's what I bought for you. By the way, I want to thank you because you're so kind to me, and also thank you because you were the first person who went to school with me. I'm happy to meet you and I hope you are the same to me . Don't worry, I didn't steal your number. I just asked for it. It's good that he gave it to me. I thought he wouldn't agree..but anyway I hope you'll like the chocolate I give you. He won't be loved much but I bought it with care and love. So yeah, enjoy.

From: Theo, Smith, Colton your future husband

After I read that, my cheeks turned red, especially when it said 'your future husband', I don't know what came into Theo's mind and he wrote that. Isn't it a trip? But hell yeah I'm happy! Because it's from Theo. I was so happy that I hugged the chocolate on my chest and ran to grab my phone from the table. I wanted to thank Theo so I thought of texting him.

Me: Theo, thanks for the chocolate. I don't know what to say except thank you. I was very happy because I received my favorite chocolate

When I sent it, I didn't want to look at my cp because I was nervous about what he would reply. Did I say too much? My notif rang in less than a minute. Look at the text slowly because I'm really shy and nervous.

[Unknown: No prob liana, that's just a small thing compared to your kindness to me.

When I read that my heart softened. Why is Theo so humble? I can't stop myself from falling.

[Me:eh..whatever. I am very grateful for what you gave me. Let me come back next time.

[Unknown: really?

:Then why don't we go out later?

My cheeks reddened again when I read that. wait does he want to date me? mygosh I'm assuming a lot.

[Me: come out? Where?

[Unknown: hmm let's drink some coffee.

:Then after that let's watch movies.

My hand was shaking. I have no idea what to answer. Will I agree or not? Tae grab the opportunity liana!

Me: sure, why not. what time is it??

[Unknown: hmm around 2:00 then I'll wait for you in front of your house.

Me: ok, I'll take a bath first

I was ashamed of what I sent. When I noticed that the nn was still unknown, I immediately changed it to Angel theo.

[Angel theo: oh wow I'm an angel now?

I smiled at his question. For me he is an angel. I don't know if it's just now that I met a very gentlemanly and very kind man.

Me: yes, besides, it's sweet.

Angel theo: naks I'll take that as a compliment. anyway you can bath now. and also me too

[Me: ok see you later!

When I sent it, he didn't reply yet. So I immediately ran to the room to get some clothes to wear and while I was taking a shower..I'm excited...

Theo!" I called as he turned his back and was waiting for me in front of our house.

"Oh hi.." he said weakly while staring at me from head to toe. Am I wearing such an ugly look that he can only look at me like that?

" are you ok? umh is what I'm wearing ugly? I can change nam-

"No!, you're so beautiful Liana.." said Sambit who was still staring at me. He came a little closer to me and parted my hair. "don't let your hair cover your beautiful face." he said smiling. hurry up my heart beats because of that.

Oh heart, calm down!

"Um thanks.. should we go?" I said. I don't want my face to be red so I want to leave in front of him.

"Ow okie, let's go" He agreed. We started walking to leave. The cafe was just around the corner so we didn't ride any further.

It took a few minutes for us to arrive at the cafe. We went in immediately. He asked me to find a seat first and he was the one who would order at the counter. I just said what I wanted to eat. I just sat on the seat for two and I waited for him.

Soon after he finished ordering our drinks and sweet snacks.

He put our food on our table.

"Here's your food princess Liana." He said jokingly. Just like before, my cheeks turned red. Shit, why is he bothering me? He handed me the food I ordered from him. Mine was an Alphonso Mango Milkshake and a chocolate cake. hers is a Caffe latte and a vanilla cake.

"Thanks theo, I'm ashamed of you because you still paid" I said shyly.

"Well, there's nothing to be ashamed of, and besides, I like you, right?" he said with a smile. I just nodded to his question. "I also want to get to know you better." he added.

Oh gosh...my  gosh! I want to get to know him better!

"M-me too, I also want to get to know you better" I said back.

"Oh really? Then you can ask me anything you want" Sambit smiled as he drank his Caffe latte. I just smiled because I can ask him anything now.

"Umh theo no offense but I just noticed that you always seem to have No Companion at your house? Where's your parents?" I asked while eating a chocolate cake. I just wanted to know where his parents are. I have never seen his parents. I noticed a different expression on his face. The smile disappeared and was replaced by a serious look. "Oh wait did I ask you personally-

"No, I'm just..sorry I can't say right now." He said weakly. His face seemed sad and serious.

Did I ask him personally? It's about privacy It's ok, I'm sure you have a reason." I said. He just smiled a little.

Eh you? I don't earn much from aunt ah..oh I mean your mom" he asked. I just laughed at his joking about calling aunt's mom.

"Ahh, he's busy at work. He has a partnership that he needs to talk to. And you know what? He's going to leave this month and stay in another country for 6 months. So that means I'll be alone at home." irritated.. I'm just annoyed because every year mom leaves the house for a few months.

"It's ok, I'm here to talk to you. Ill promise you won't be bored with me" he said happily smiling at me.

"Thank you very much, Theo, you are very sweet and very kind." I said and ruffled his hair. I was stunned by My own doing. Even he seemed surprised because he was looking at me seriously.

What did I do?!

"Yeah, but Liana, don't give in too much to my kindness..." he said weakly but it was enough for me to hear. I was confused by what he suddenly said. "I mean maybe because of my kindness you will fall." he joked making me blush. He is right.. maybe because of his kindness I will fall..

"Pft, I just noticed that you're a joker." Kong said laughing and so did he.

"Let's eat this first then we will go watch the movies later." he said.

"Oh, what time does it start?" I asked curiously while eating the cake. "And what kind of movies did you choose?" I added a question.

"Um well, 2:45 it'll start so we still have 20 minutes." He answered looking at his watch." and about the movie I chose you will know only when we are there." he said with a smile.

I have no idea what kind of show he chose, but since he chose it, I'm sure it's good and not boring. I just nodded and we continued eating. It was a few minutes after we finished eating. We immediately left the cafe and went to the cinema. Like the cafe, the mall is nearby and we can walk to it.

"It's going to start in five minutes." Theo said when we got to the cinema." wait, I'll buy popcorn and juice." he said and walked to the popcorn shop. I just followed her.

"Hi miss, mine is 2 popcorn and 2 juice." When Theo ordered. I looked at the saleswoman. It just looked at Theo who didn't seem to have any plans to give our order. "Um miss? Are you okay?" Theo asked curiously with concern.

The heck? Didn't he realize that the girl liked him?!

"Miss, maybe you can hurry up? We're going to start watching." Now I answered. I couldn't stand it because it was tiring.

"Uhh s-sorry." he apologized. His cheeks are red as if he's embarrassed." Umh sir, ma'am. We have a special promo for a couple, you can order a couple more juice and popcorn." he said showing us a menu.

Heart couple centipoise? That's another couple's name..

"Uhh sorry but-

"Yes, sure we'll buy that." Theo replied making my eyes widen. I was going to reject the woman's offer because Theo and I are not a couple, but I didn't think so...

"Okay wait a minute sir, ma'am." The woman replied happily and prepared the popcorn. I wanted to ask Theo why he bought it but was leading me. "Enjoy your date ma'am and sir." He said while giving us what Theo and I bought.

It's not actually a date right??

"Let's go?" Theo invited. I immediately nodded even though I was shy and thrilled with my own thoughts. We entered the cinema. There weren't many people inside and only a few people were here. Theo and I chose to sit at the end because it was closer to Cr. When we sat down, I felt refreshed. It's not the first time I've watched in the cinema, but it's the first time I've watched Kasama the person who makes my chest beat faster.

"We can share this." he said, placing the popcorn and juice between our seats. I can't answer right away. Yes we can share the popcorn since there is a lot of it even in one container but the juice?! We both use the same glass and the same straw?! It's really a couple. "But if you don't want I can buy-

"N-no! i-i mean we can share it theo." I suddenly said. It's a shame that I'm going to make him buy another one, right? And another one, I'm okay with us sharing...

"Oh okay..." was his short answer. I didn't say anything and just turned my eyes to the big screen. What a shame I was imagining?! it's just a juice okay so calm down liana. I calm myself down. It wasn't long before the show started. It's just the intro, I don't feel good anymore, why is it the sound? It's scary. I slightly turned to Theo, I wanted to ask him why he chose this kind of show but I didn't because I was stunned when I saw my handsomeness with Theo. Even though it's a side view, its sharp nose is clearly visible. His eyes are angelic and his lips are red. I returned to the right place and shook my head. I don't know why I'm like this now.

I turned my eyes to the screen again and started watching. As time goes on, more and more people watch. Like us, others preferred to sit in the back and a few of the spectators seemed to be jojowing. I just focused myself on watching rather than watching the jojowang floundering.

"Why aren't you eating?" Theo asked suddenly and I turned to him. I just realized now that I haven't been grabbing popcorn and drinking juice.

"Ah..sorry I brought too much to the show." I answered shyly. I got some popcorn and I took it.

"Pft..."

I frowned when I saw him laugh. What's funny?

"Why? what's wrong?" I asked, still frowning.

"Nothing, there's like cheese powder on the side of your lips." he said as I quickly wiped my lips.

"Nothing?" I asked to make sure there was no dirt.

Ow.. it's still there. Let me wipe it for you." when he said that I seemed to look like a statue. I couldn't refuse and I just felt his hand touch the side of my lips. He gently wiped it while looking at my two eyes. "That's okay." he said. I was even more surprised by what he did next, he licked his finger which he used to wipe the side of my lips what. did he lick it?! Wait what?!

Thanks again for making me free, theo." I thanked with a smile. Here we are now in front of our house.

"No problem Lian, I enjoyed being with you." he said smiling back. Again I felt ashamed especially when I remembered what he did earlier in the cinema.

Did he lick it right?!

"I-I enjoyed it too." I said.

"Then I'm glad that you enjoy it too." he said staring into my eyes. Because of shame I looked away.

"Alright, Theo, I'll go inside." I said goodbye without even looking at him.

"Oh okay. See you tomorrow then." he said. I just smiled and nodded and as he said, I immediately entered the house. I enjoyed it too much. I didn't think he was so happy to be with me because I thought our conversation would be awkward. I also learned a lot from him. He likes baseball games and also watching scary shows. He also invited me to watch a movie next time.

When I got in, I immediately sat on the sofa. I thought mom wasn't there and she was at work. My cell phone rang so I took it out of my bag. I just smiled when I saw Theo's text.

Angel theo: hi, what are you doing now?

: Probably sitting on the couch?

When I read that I was a little surprised. How did he know I was sitting on the couch? Tsk, maybe just a coincidence..

Me: wow how did you know?

I asked pretending to be surprised. I waited for his reply.

Angel theo: hmm guess what?

:I have a camera in your house.

My hair rose when I read that because I looked in every corner to see if there was a hidden camera.

did he scare me??

[Me: the heck Theo! don't joke around! Because you know I'm alone at home, you'll scare me.

Angel theo: I'm just kidding, you look so scared.

I breathed a sigh of relief because he was just joking. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a joke, right? The creepy.

[Me: scared my ass!

[Angel theo: I'm sorry if I scared you

Anyway you can rest now. I'll wait for you outside tomorrow so see yah.

I just smiled at his last text. I feel like he really wants to see me.. Is candy saying right? that theo likes me.? Impossible!

[Me: okie see you tomorrow!

After I sent that, I immediately stood up and walked up to the bedroom. I just want to clean my body before going to bed.
