Touches or Stares (Bada Lee AU)

Chapter 30

I almost moaned letting the warm soup run down my throat

"This is so delicious" I informed Bada who was sitting across from me and smiling while looking at me

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked her swatting her stare away

"I just love staring at you" She simply said and I could feel myself about to melt in my seat

"Stop it!" I responded to her and she chuckled

"Did you finish school here?" I can't help but to ask

"Yes... I'm actually working as a professional choreographer, I go to schools to teach here and there." She said finishing her food

"You must be really busy" I added looking down at my food

I have been very busy as well after she left me, but not enough to keep her off my mind.

"There's no amount of work that could make up for the fact that I miss you so much" She finally said resting her palm on top of my hand

I smiled faintly at her and she breathed deeply, before scooting beside me

"We'll drive back to the city, we'll go on a real date and I'll introduce you to my Dad... Would you like that?" She asked me with a heartwarming smile and I couldn't help the smile creeping on my lips as well

"Okay" I timidly responded and she planted a kiss on my cheek and smiled at me like a Cheshire cat

Redlic's POV

It is not fair... I was the one who helped her get over Maddy, I was the one who was there when she needed someone so much. It was me who helped her get better after everything that happened to her

I pushed my cart to the counter so I could check out all of it and leave

"Redlic..." I turned around when my name was called

"Tatter? When did you come back?" I asked her extending my arms to hug her

"Just yesterday, I was picking up some stuff here.. How are you?" She asked me after we released from the hug

"I'm doing fine actually" I informed her, which is far from the truth considering what was happening with Bada and what she had been posting today

"I heard you were dating Bada" She blurted out, so that's the reason why her smile looked loose

"Are you still in love with Bada, Tatter?" I asked her straightforwardly as we both walked out of the store

She looked away not answering my question

"You know I'm not busy today, we can talk at that coffee shop" I told her as I pointed to the coffee shop across the street

She followed me and we made ourselves comfortable on the empty seats and ordered our choice of coffee

"So my question Tats are you still in love with Bada?" I repeated my question earlier

"You know I never stopped" She responded, almost whispered

"It's been 7 years since the two of you broke up Tats I thought you were good already" I asked her as if she should move on when I am literally in love with Bada longer than her

But I thought to myself, if Tatter has Bada, Bada is so much easier to pull compared to Maddy...

"What if I tell you that I can make a way for you to get Bada again?" I asked her and her head shot up

"What do you mean?" She asked with her face painted a mixture of shocked and startled

"I just know how to get you back with Bada, are you in or not?" I gave her an ultimatum
