Annabella was in the middle of reviewing her new project when her phone vibrated, showing a message notification. She ignored it and continued doing her work, chewing the pen clip.

'Ding!' Again, another message popped up.

Sighing, Annabella put aside her pen and grabbed the phone. Unlocking the screen, she clicked the message. It was from her latest date.

[John glass guy(5th dte): ?]

[John glass guy(5th dte): Hi, Anna. John here. I'm waiting for your msg. ( ; ]

"Oh shit no!"

Annabella facepalmed. She totally forgot to send him the location. If her mother knew that, then she would be done for!

[Me: Oops, sorry Johnny. I was busy with my new project.]

The moment she sent it, John's reply came right away.

[John glass guy(5th dte): It's okay. I can understand. So where do you like to go this time?]

Annabella was typing a reply when he sent her another message.

[John glass guy(5th dte): I want to be someone special to you. Unlike the other three guys whom you met. I want to give you memories, some beautiful, colourful, cheerful, blissful memories. So let's try something new by going to a park. What do you say?]

Annabella rolled her eyes in annoyance.
'There were four guys, idiot. Not three!'

[Me: Why do you sound so cheesy all of a sudden? I'm kinda afraid right now. Let's just go to a coffee shop as usual.]

[John glass guy(5th dte): What are you saying? You're afraid? Anna, you're not a 7 or 8 yr old child to be afraid! It's not like I'm asking you to go to a hotel room and have sex with me.]

Anna clenched the phone in her hand so tightly that her knuckles turned paler than they had been before.

[Me: Enough! Let's meet at a coffee shop or cancel our date for good.]

[John glass guy(5th dte): Woah, easy there, baby girl. Okay, okay. Let's meet at a coffee shop as you say. Ugh, you're so boring.]

Annabella sneered when she read that.

[Me: Then find an active, hot, sexy doll, you psycho!]

[John glass guy(5th dte): Oh my! I was just kidding, okay? Why are you so mad at me? Are you NOT in a good mood? Then it's my bad luck as well.]

Annabella's angry mood finally changed. She smiled, biting her lower lip.

[My ftre GF: I'm the one who's unlucky today. What does it have to do with you?]

John chuckled, looking at her message.

[Me: Am I not special to you?]

[My ftre GF: Not yet.]

John smirked. 'Although you think like that, you're already a very special person to me, my baby.' He thought. 'When I looked at you, that night... I couldn't sleep well. I even dreamt of being with you.'

[Me: You're so straightforward as ever. Though I like that, it hurts my feelings sometimes.]

[My ftre GF: Oops, sorry Johnny. I'll be careful next time.]

[Me: No need. I want you to be yourself when you're with me. So I really don't mind it. Not at all. Please, don't change for another person. You should only be yourself.]

Annabella was greatly touched when she read that message. Apparently, John wasn't that bad even though her sixth sense told otherwise. She looked for a cafe with a romantic atmosphere and sent the time and location to John before paying attention to her work again.
