Is this destiny?

Chapter 1579 - Creating Memories (3)

10:48 AM

Ron and Zula didn't make it for breakfast, so they went to the kitchen to get food for themselves.

They decided on a sandwich. It's quick and filling and they were both starving and low on energy.

Zula fried eggs and Ron washed and cut the tomatoes and lettuce. With deli meat and mayonnaise on toasted bread, it was perfect.

Ron used a juicer to make for both of them Zula's favorite juice of two-thirds orange and one-third pineapple.

They sat at the kitchen island and chatted while eating.

Zula liked that their knees are touching.

Somehow, Ron looked like he is glowing, and he was several folds more handsome. She wondered if she is imagining it. But she didn't imagine that his smile reached his eyes.

"What do you want to do today?" Ron asked while they ate.

"I was thinking of packing so that I move to our apartment."

Ron smiled and confirmed that he will do the same. "Our apartment. I like that. Let's see if we can move our things and have time to do some shopping for OUR apartment."

"There is no rush. We have the crystal figurine and for the rest, we can shop later. After we are done with food, I will call Emma. I hope that I can meet with her today to talk about…" Zula glanced to the side and saw that Matias (aka the cook) is busying himself next to the stove. She leaned closer to Ron and whispered: "…about you know what."

Ron understood that Zula wants to talk about contraception. "Can I come with you?"

Zula liked that he wants to accompany her. Even though it will be embarrassing. "Sure."

Ron watched her expression intently. "Do you have any side-effects?"

Zula felt the heat rising in her cheeks. She knows that he is asking her if the morning-after pill is giving her any side-effects. He asked her the same question ten times since she took it.

Zula shook her head in response while hoping that Matias is not getting any hints about what they are talking. 

Ron was relieved that Zula has no side-effects. Aiden said that the pill is a strong dose of hormones, and Ron was worried.

She decided to change the topic. "Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland. Are you excited?"

"The Ferris wheel. I want us to go there again." Ron responded. "We made some good memories in that gondola and I look forward to making more. With you."

Zula remembered the Ferris wheel at Disneyland. That is where he kissed her the first time for real, with the tongue and everything. Now they do it all the time, but then it was the biggest deal there is. Zula still remembers how dazed she was, and his kisses still have the same effect on her.

She looks forward to tomorrow. With Ron.

…

~ Los Angeles, close to downtown ~

While Ron and Zula enjoyed their brunch, Sarah and Aiden were in the mall with kids who wanted new clothes for the big day tomorrow.

The occasion for shopping: tomorrow they are going to Disneyland, and they want to dress up a bit.

From the guys, Haru and Michael went shopping on their own, they know the mall layout and have an idea about what they want to get. Ron was supposed to join them, but he refused with an explanation that he is busy with moving to the new apartment.

Jamari was not interested in shopping and he stayed at the Cliffside Villa to catch up on his studies. Imani is doing better than him, and he does not want to lag behind.

They offered Zack to join them since he is also part of tomorrow's Disneyland adventure, but he felt inappropriate to accept. Also, Zack heard that girls are going separately from boys, so he rejected the shopping part with a note that he will try to meet with them for lunch.

Aiden was shopping with Ade, helping him put his look together for his date with Hande.

Aiden had a talk with Ade about dating and being respectful.

Ade was listening intently while taking mental notes. Ade assured Aiden that the most he went with Hande was a kiss on the cheek, and that was only once, and the next kiss will happen in three years.

Aiden relaxed when he heard all that, even though he is not confident that Ade and Hande can stick to holding hands for three years and not try something more adventurous.

Back to the present…

Ade got out of the dressing room wearing dark jeans pants, printed t-shirt, a light gray hoodie jacket, and a black leather jacket on top.

"Do I need two jackets?" Ade asked with a frown.

Aiden nodded. "If you are feeling hot, tie up the hoodie around your waist."

"I am going to feel hot. It will be nice weather, and all this is more for… winter." Ade complained. He really didn't see the point of two jackets. Sure, it looks cool, but he will overheat. "I prefer not to have a hoodie. This leather jacket is cool enough… It has zippers."

Aiden rolled his eyes. "It's your first date, so you don't know. You are going for a whole day, and you will get tired eventually and you will want to sit and… that is where your jacket comes to shine."

Ade looked at Aiden blankly. "Why do I need a jacket to sit?"

"Not you. It's for Hande. She will probably wear a delicate dress that can get easily dirtied. As a gentleman, you remove your jacket and offer her to sit on it. The leather jacket is preferable because it's waterproof and if it gets dirtied it's easy to wipe it off."

Ade's lips twitched. He still didn't get it. "Why can't she sit on a clean chair?"

"Because chairs mean restaurants and people. A park is a much better option to rest because on a date you want to take advantage of privacy." Aiden saw that Ade's eyebrows shoot up and he quickly added: "I didn't mean that you will do anything inappropriate… but privacy can set the mood for some intimate talking. You get relaxed and find out things about each other; when it's just the two of you, without distractions, you can enjoy the talk. And also, later in the day, it will get chilly and you can offer her your jacket to wear. Girls like that."

Ade was still not sold on the sitting part, but he agreed on giving his jacket to Hande when it gets chilly.

After a few seconds of checking himself in the mirror, Ade gave Aiden a thumbs up. "This will work. I need shoes."

Aiden already had two pairs next to him, ready for Ade to try. Both were comfortable shoes that will be good for a whole day of walking.

Ade ended up picking light gray tennis shoes with black accents.

"Perfect. Look this way and strike a pose…" Aiden instructed Ade before snapping a photo and sending it to Sarah.

"This looks great. How about some accessories?" Aiden offered. "A necklace or a wristwatch? Or maybe a hat?"

Ade rejected. He does not want any new accessories. "How about we get something for the girls? I think I should get Hande something. It is our first date..."

Aiden liked that idea. "We have time until lunch. Let's pay for these and next-door is a store where we can find something for Sarah and Hande."

Ade approved. He went to the dressing room to change into his previous clothes. They will meet with the girls for lunch, and Ade does not want to risk Hande seeing how cool he looks before he picks her up tomorrow.
