FOREVER YOURS

Chapter 51: Under the Darkness: Mess

*Sonia's POV*

I put on my beige leather coat and I grab all my paperwork.

Yamper: Owf, Owf.

Yamper scurries behind me, with his tongue out.

Sonia: C'mon, Yamper. I need to drop you off at grandma's and I have a date with Leon.

Yamper does nothing but bark again like he understood what I just said.

We get out of the laboratory and I lock it behind me.

We get into the car and I drive off to Grandma's house.

As we drove up the mountain,  I saw Grandma's tiny little house, lit up in the middle of the woods.

I park in the driveway and I get out.

I knocked on the door three times and I opened the door.

Grandma was sat on her rocking chair with a book in her hands.

She looks up through her bifocal glasses at me and scuffs.

Sonia: Hi, Grandma.

Professor Magnolia: Hi, sweetheart. How was your day?

Sonia: It was pretty fine. I am dropping Yamper off now. I will come and pick him up tomorrow and also drop the groceries for you.

Professor Magnolia: Okay. 

I kneel down and pet Yamper's furry head.

Sonia: Be good for Grandma, okay?

He barks.

I get up and pull down my coat a bit.

Sonia: Bye, Grandma!

I leave out of the door and I quickly get into my car.

But I hear a ding on my rotom phone.

I pick it up and see a message from Leon.

Leon: Change of plans. Meet me at the restaurant. Love, Leon.

I rolled my eyes and huffed.

I wanted a little more alone time with him.

We are so busy in our hectic life that we donot even have time for ourselves.

I wanted to savour each moment with him.

I should just be grateful that he didn't cancel the date at the last moment.

I reach home, quickly dropping my paperwork on the coffe table, scurrying towards the bedroom.

Once, reaching the bedroom, I change into to my dark full sleeves v-neck top with ruffles on the end of sleeves.  I slip into my black high-waisted jeans.  I accessorize the look with small, diamond  earring and put my hair up in the ponytail.

I grab my black rhinestone clutch and get out of the house. I drive to the restaurant we are meeting at, La Snorlax,  an Italian restaurant that opened up last week in Wedgehurst and I have been dying to try it all out since.

I park my car four blocks away from the restaurant and walked towards the restaurant.

I stood in front of the restaurant, waiting.

After waiting for half an hour, I was getting pretty irritated. But then, I recieve a message from Leon.

Sonia: What now?

Leon: Go inside, babe. Order anything. Coming in 15 mins.

I sigh and head inside, the air conditioned air sending chills down my spine. I gape at its cozy ambience as I weaved my way through the brown wooden tables.
