*Kat’s Pov
“I will have a medium rare steak, she will have your famous shrimp pasta.”
“Wine or alcohol sir?” she asked. More like flirtatiously asked. Can this whore be anymore disgusting than she already is? Woman, he is booked, not free. I could feel the fork in my hand bending.
How did we end up here? Well.. to 30 mins back..
Dad’s original laptop.
As soon as we got the laptop we tried turning it on, but it was not much of a surprise to know a lot of codings need to be done to even turning it on. Dad never intended to make this easier for us.
“And so the mystery of the great Damien Griffin continues.” Ryder comments with fake enthusiasm, saying out loud what was in my mind.
“Hey!” I pretended to be hurt by what he said to which he raised his eyebrows and I shrugged.
“I am sorry but not sorry. I mean it in both good and bad way. Good way because my god is your dad a genius!” He says making me gloat in pride. “Bad way – My god is your dad a genius and so wicked that I am hundred percent sure that he didn’t think twice before deciding to make this harder for us.”
“Well, what did you expect? This is to be sooo easy that the instant we get the laptop we could turn it on and find how we and them including your parents got into this mess? So easy that it wouldn’t even be just as hard for those trying to get the same clues we are to get? Did you forgot some people were trying to close the case even before we got the fake laptop?”
“I know but-”
“No buts I am very hungry so let’s continue this discussion later, please.” I said grabbing his arm and pulling him to the car. Though he is obviously stronger than me he pretended to be pulled towards the car while chuckling. He then ordered Mark to take us to a fancy Italian restaurant. Much to my protest because I preferred a not so fancy restaurant for two reasons-
One, I don’t have to worry about the dress I am wearing if we are to go to a not so fancy restaurant.
Second, we wouldn’t have been in the situation I was talking about just before recalling what happened 30 mins before the whole jealousy over a bitch thing started.
The moment we got here till now the bitch hasn’t stopped flirting and showing off her fake goods to his face. But much to her dismay Ry kept ignoring her either not knowing what’s happening or pretending to not know what’s happening. Either way I am not very comfortable and I just want to eat and get the hell out of here and go home and sleep in our very comfy bed.
“Yeah that’s all we will have plus we would like to have a new waiter who doesn’t understand someone is engaged and ruins the romantic environment he is trying to create.” He stated looking at her coldly. I could see the fear passing through her eyes before she stuttered a yes and got out making me smirk and look at him with narrowed eyes. He indeed was pretending to not notice her attempts in trying to seduce him.
I shook my head at him when he smiled at me innocently. I turned my head to look out the window. The restaurant we were at had a beautiful romantic lighting with a candle in the centre of each table. Each table was separated from other tables with table screen dividers giving us the privacy we need but still being able to hear those loud noisy people.
The view out the window was the best. I am always a person who likes to be secluded while watch other people be busy in their world. New York is the best place to be for people like me. It is the most crowded place with people either walking to fast to reach their destination or walking with headphones in their ears being in their own world.
It was raining outside, my favourite season of all. Just looking at the rain makes me feel peace. It teaches me again and again just like how the cloud darkens before pouring water onto ground, our lives would also darken and darken so much that sometimes all we can see would be darkness but if we don’t let our rain out we would just be gone with the darkness, no matter how weak it makes us seem once we let out our rain there would always be a rainbow after. May take weeks, months or years to find that rainbow but one day we would and we would just be looking back into those rainy days and let out a sigh in happiness of overcoming it.
What took me out of my philosophical thoughts were seeing those with no umbrella were running to their shelters and those with umbrellas were walking fast to reach wherever they were intending to be at. Occasionally I could see old couples under one umbrella being a support for eachother. Its so cute watching old couples be in their own world holding hands, laughing at eachothers corny jokes, smiling at eachother, enjoying their soulmates company.
I wish to have that kind of long lasting relationship with Ry. How nice would it be to grow old together, watch our kids grow and have their own lives, be there for eachother, in our own world not worrying about anything but just us in that world.
“One day Kat, One day!” Ry sighed making me realise he had placed his hand above mine while looking at the same couple I was looking at. I smiled at him and slowly nodded my head to which he returned the smile.
All of a sudden his peaceful smiling face turned serious making me know what he was going to say. This time it was me who sighed.
“We will figure it out when we get home. It heavily encrypted. We both know it would take days to decrypt it. This time lets not rush and leave it be. As time goes we will decrypt it for sure as I am hundred percent sure that just turning it on is not only the hardest thing, my dad had for sure made it more complicated than just encrypting the lockscreen. Let time and our effort decide the course of action.”
Before Ry could open his mouth to say anything the waiter came to our table with our food. This time we got a handsome man to wait on us. Even after serving us our food, he didnt leave but stood there and asked if we needed anything without taking his eyes off me. Ry growled to which the poor boy scurried away, I bit my lips to stop from smiling. Seeing my struggle to keep my smile under control Ry narrowed his eyes and shook his head before we dived into our food.
