Ken's face turned sour from the vanilla scent that lingered around them . They chose the bar a few blocks from the hotel and even though it was still morning it was already packed with people, most of them were playing billiards, darts, table gas or just simply drinking.
The loud music caused a slight pain in his head, he didn't want to be here but his friend's girlfriend who looked like a granny insisted on going inside after she saw how crowded it was.
'Damn it! Why did I even et Evan here!' he uttered in his mind, regretting his decision of eting him here.
They were seated on the L-shaped curve sofa and he felt irritated by the sll coming from his friend's girlfriend. She was seated in between him and Evan and as much as he wanted to move away, he couldn't because he was almost sitting at the end of the couch.
He heard faint giggles coming from the couple and it made him want to puke.
When the waiter ca to take their order, Ken tapped a finger on the table while his body slightly leaned against the table.
"I will have whiskey on the rock " he gave his order and turned to the couple who was sharing a nu even though the waiter gave them two copies.
'oh God! this is just disgusting!' he exclaid with his eyes narrowing in irritation.
"I want a burger babe " Ken heard Daniella saying that in a normal tune but it sohow irritated his ears.
'Why can't she say that directly to the waiter?' he discreetly rolled his eyes and leaned back against the couch.
"Didn't you just eat?" Evan asked.
"Yes, but that salmon was so small! Aish! How can they serve such a small portion!" she complained.
"Because your small " Ken murmured out of nowhere.
The couple looked at him with confusion painted on their faces, "Did you say sothing?" his friend asked.
Ken shook his head "no , just continue with whatever you two were doing," he waved a hand to signal them while his eyebrows waggled once.
He wanted to repeat was he said aloud but he didn't want to make their ambiance awkward by blurting what he had in his mind.
"I want large fries too and no pickles."
Ken rose a brow by her request 'who eats the burger without pickles!' his brain wanted to explode, he had never imagined that such a woman with a poor taste in clothing and stomach as big as a bear could possibly get his friend's attention.
"what do you want for a drink?" Evan asked, his hands were on Daniella's hair tousling her ssy bun.
Daniella put her elbow on the table while nibbling her thumbnail like a kid, her eyes were glued to the nu thinking of what to order.
"I am thinking of strawberry milkshake."
Ken who was just about to drink his water coughed when he heard Daniella's request. He decided to voice out his complaint as he was already too irritated with her .
"This is a bar, you don't order milkshake here!" his voice was low but deep and stained with irritation and sarcasm.
"Oh!" the tone of disappointnt that rang in his ears had caused him to look at her only to see her acting like a lost child.
He wanted to laugh in bitterness when she suddenly moved closer to Evan and the fingers she was nibbling earlier lowered to her lap followed by her face. She looked like a stooping girl with a face as pale as a pearl.
"Ken " from looking at Daniella, Ken turned to his friend.
"Oh God!" he groaned in irritation and swung his head to face the waiter.
"Get her a milkshake!" he ordered to the waiter.
"Sir, we don't serve milkshake."
Ken's face flattened, the corner of his eyes caught the miserable milkshake girl looking at him with a pout and it was making him uncomfortable.
"Just get her a milkshake ok?" he commanded the waiter and took out so cash from his wallet.
But the waiter put the cash on the table and slightly bent his body to apologize "I am sorry sir, but we don't serve milkshake here."
A dark look suddenly enveloped Ken's face as he silently groaned , his hand reached for his phone and dialed Kuwan's number.
When the call was answered, he spoke "Kuwan, get a strawberry milkshake and bring it to the bar, I will send you the na of the bar " he ordered coldly.
"Could you tell him to request for a few chunks of strawberry, the straw should be big so the chunks can pass-" the rest of Daniella's word died down at the back of her throat when he suddenly glared at her.
"You heard it?" Ken asked Kuwan on the other line after he saw the look of a rejected kid on Daniella's face.
"Yes boss " after their short call, Ken ended the call and peeked a glance at Daniella.
She was smiling widely at him and it made his face turned into a rock.
"Thank you" she gratefully blinked her eyes at him.
"Just-" his nose wrinkled at the intense irritation that rushed through him "Turn around and face your boyfriend, keep smiling at him " he shook his head as he looked at the waiter still standing at their table.
"What are you waiting for? Get her a burger before she starts crying here."
On the other side, Daniella wanted to explode as she noticed how irritated Ken was. She wanted to leave a bad impression on him so once she ets him as Daisy, he wouldn't recognize not only her face but her attitude as well.
When she felt a hand around her waist pulling her backward , Daniella giggled and drew closer to Evan's ear.
"I can't believe your friend bought that acting " she whispered.
"What are you doing Daniella? Ken is just as short-tempered as you."
--
Standing a few ters from the target, Daniella was surrounded by the other custors of the bar as they watched her play darts.
A bored look crept across her face as she tossed the dart at the target but it didn't land at the center instead it hit the wooden wall and later fell into the ground.
A loud sigh ca out of her lips while the people around her, especially n were teasing her failed attempt to hit the target.
"Just go ho little girl, you can't even hit the target properly " one of the n in the crowd who seed to be a biker comnted with sarcasm.
Daniella pouted her lips for a mont, she took off her glasses and wiped it off but her eyes were squinted staring at the man with a huge belly and a long blonde hair which seed like it had not been washed for days.
She stared right into his eyes and look at his thought.
'No wonder!' she murmured in her mind as she watched his thoughts clearly saying that he didn't even know how to properly hold the dart.
An expression of a bullied little girl pasted on her face as she walked back to the table where Evan and Ken were sitting. Her hand smoothed down her skirt as she sat down next to Evan , sadness clouded her face.
"Hey what's wrong?" Evan brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead.
She pointed a finger at the man who mocked her earlier and sunk her face on Evan's shoulder.
"He said I can't hit the target so I should just go ho " her voice was distant as she spoke , her face was buried on Evan's shoulder so her sentence was barely understandable.
"Do you want to beat them up?" Evan lifted her face by holding her chin and as their eyes t Daniela shook her head.
"We can't hurt people babe, that's too violent" she whispered in despair "that poor man must be having a rough day for him to bully " she sniffed as if she was about to cry and once again buried her face on Evan's shoulder.
Daniella's lips ford a smile as she took a quick glance at Ken. Due to her glasses, she was unable to read his mind but the irritation was clear as day , she didn't even need to read his mind for to realize that he must be thinking of her as a weak person with a glass heart that can easily break.
Ken who was staring at Evan's girlfriend rose a brow, he scoffed silently as he watched the weak short woman cuddling like a panda to Evan's arm.
'Tsk, so clingy' he blew out a sigh and shifted his sight towards the n who were looking at their table.
