My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I couldn't rebuke Hendrix's words, so I kept silent. Looking up at him, I asked, "Are we going to take it to go or eat here?"

He looked around. It was obvious that he disliked such crowded places, but he still said, "Go and look for a seat."

All I just needed to do was to do what he had said. I found a seat by the window and took a few bites of the burger. With my chin resting on the palm of my hand, I didn't make a sound as I looked at the bustling crowd outside the window.

He looked at me and asked with raised eyebrows, "What are you thinking about?"

I looked back at him and asked, "Why did you suddenly bring me here to eat a burger?"

He lifted his eyebrows, "It's because you like it!"

Oh?

What did he mean by that?

It was not the weekend that day. Most of the people in the mall were young lovers who were shopping on their off-days.

There was a H&M shop downstairs, and it was bustling with young people. I said, "Monique used to say that if we had boyfriends in the future, we must drag them to shop with us. We would ask our boyfriends to buy us a few more bags and go to H&M to try on a few more sets of clothes."

Hendrix glanced at the shop downstairs and asked with slightly raised eyebrows, "Are the clothes there expensive?"

When Rowane came back and saw that he was already eating, she frowned slightly and asked, "Did you thank them?" The little fellow looked at Hendrix and me before thanking each of us. He then continued to eat
