[Edited] Chapter 15: The Thing With The Blues!

Scott:

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor...

Why did this same thing kept on repeating in my mind?

Nova walked out of the door and I followed her. 

I heard her soft gasp which made me smile. 

The Blues was an indoor and an outdoor restaurant. The waiter led us outside through the back door, to a massive circular garden. 

There were total twelve gazebos in all, arranged in a circular shape, at the outline of the garden with a huge distance between each gazebo, giving everyone their privacy. A small fountain was in the middle of the garden. 

The waiter led us to a gazebo, which had vanilla curtains over the four poles; with a matching table and two chairs in the middle of it.

I looked back at Nova to see her smiling, with a sparkle in her eyes. 

The waiter left us alone to bring the menu. 

I led Nova to the chair and pulled it out for her to sit. 

She smiled and lowered herself onto the chair and mumbled a soft 'Thank you'. I sat on the other chair opposite her.

She looked and smiled at me. "Thank you for all these..."

I looked up at her and said, "You're welcome but the date is not over yet." I winked at her.

"So... that means there are more surprises?" She asked curiously.

"Maybe... maybe not." I shrugged casually.

She looked at me and tilted her head as if she was studying me. But then, shook her head and pouted.

"I thought girls loved surprises..." I said to her.

The waiter returned with the menu and left us to decide our order.

She sipped her water and said, "Yes, we do..."

"So why the pout?" I said, questioning her.

She looked at me with a smile and said, "Girls love surprises but we hate waiting for them."

"Ah..."

She just smiled and shook her head at my expression.

"So... have you decided on your order?" I asked her.
