Love Me, My Omega!

Chapter 27 - 27

JUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW:

We've been getting to know each other for already over a month. The stalker issue has already been forgotten and during my stay at Daryl's house, I've befriended Troy and Terrence, and I also felt comfortable there already. I also found out that... Troy is an... well, he's an omega. It was kind of shocking to know that especially since I expected him to be an alpha.

Just recently, we moved back to the condo since everything was already back to how it was before. Of course, I'm still paying him for staying there since I don't want to get things for free especially since he's already done so much for me.

"How was your day?" Tristan said as he looked at me after he took a sip from his juice. "It was very tiring. I also feel like I look uglier these days. Maybe I'm stressed? Ugh..." I grumbled as I leaned my back on the chair. "Come on, when have you ever looked ugly?" He said and chuckled. I just rolled my eyes at him and continued eating.

I became very comfortable around him that I'm able to act like myself whenever we're together. I kind of feel like he's my best friend. He also picks me up from the university whenever we're both free and we hang out with each other from time to time.

And during the past month... I completely fell for him. I don't know if he knows that I like him though. I'm still hesitant whether I should tell him or not.

Of course, I'm not only thinking about him these days. I've been getting stressed because I still haven't found a company to take me as an intern. Maybe that's why I don't look too good these days. Haaa...

"If you're stressed, take a break for a bit. It's not good to push yourself to your limits. You know that, right?" He said as he looked at me with his gentle green eyes. I nodded and smiled at him. "That's why I'm hanging out with you right now, dummy," I said and chuckled.

You're my rest. You're my comfort, dumbass.

I took a sip from my juice and I noticed him staring at me. "W-What? Is there something on my face?" I said as I put the glass on the table. He popped a question instead of answering me.

"Will you go on a date with me this Saturday? That is... if you're free," he said as his face slowly turned red.

One thing that I've always noticed about him is that his face always shows what he feels. He also turns red easily. He looks like a ripe tomato right now, haha.

"Sure," I said and smiled. His face brightened up because of my answer.

We've gone on a few dates for the past month, but that's just it. We go on dates as... friends. I don't even know if I should consider it as a friendly date or not. Haaa...

I'm actually wondering when he's gonna ask me out. We go on dates but we're not even dating. Would it be weird if I asked him what our relationship really is? If he won't ask me to date him, then I'll ask him instead. I'll just wait for about a week or so, then maybe I'll muster up the courage to ask him out.

*****

"We're here!" He exclaimed happily as soon as we got out of his car.

Today is Saturday and we're having out date today and we're in a... "Farm?"

I looked around and I could barely see the strawberry plants because of the fog. We're currently at a strawberry farm. I don't really know why we're having a date here though.

"Yes! Isn't this place pretty?" He said as he looked around. I smiled when I saw how happy he looked. I guess this place really is pretty. "Yes, it is," I said while still smiling.

"Hello, sirs. Would you like to go strawberry picking?" One of the employees approached us. "Yes. How much would it be?" Tristan asked. I just waited for them to finish talking as my eyes scanned the place. The farm is so big that I can't even see the end of the farm. Aside from strawberries, on the other side of the farm, they also grew some lettuce.

The temperature here is also colder than the city because this place is located in the mountains. This must be the reason why he asked me to wear something warm, haha.

I actually like places like this so much. The cold temperature and fresh air in the mountains always made me feel relaxed. Did he know about that?

"Justin, let's go to the cabin. They're going to give us a basket there," Tristan said as he stretched his arm as if waiting for me to put my hand on top of his. My face suddenly flushed, thinking that someone else is here yet he wants to hold my hand. He makes me feel all giddy.

"O-Okay," I said as I slowly put my hand on top of his. He smiled sweetly which made my face grow redder. I looked away because I suddenly felt shy and we headed to the cabin that he was talking about.

They gave us baskets and gloves, and we then headed to the plants with the guidance of an employee. "Thank you," I said when we arrived in front of the plants. The employee bowed before leaving and we started picking strawberries.

"Why did you bring me here for our date?" I said as I chuckled. I held the stem above the berry and plucked it from the plant. I put it in my basket and faced him. "Well, I heard from Daryl that you love strawberries and the mountains. I achieved three of my goals today," he said and chuckled as he put a strawberry in his basket. "Three?" I asked, confused because he only said two reasons for bringing me here. "Yeah, three. I get to buy you the fruit you like, I can make you relax by bringing you in the mountains, and..." He paused and looked at me. His eyes looked gentle and warm. It's as if... he likes me. "... I get to spend time with you," he continued and smiled.

I looked away when I felt my face get hotter. I just laughed it off so he wouldn't notice how I feel right now. "Just continue picking the strawberries," I said as I picked another berry.

Ugh.... When did he learn to speak like that? He sounds like a total playboy.
