185 Left-Out-Best-Friend's-Club
On the other hand, two people who were betrayed by their own best friends were speechless for a long ti in the restaurant after Xiu and Darren left. And to lift up their spirits, both finished the wine on the table without realizing it. They both were officially in left out best friend's club and that's what they drank for as well.
"I can't believe she forgot that she was supposed to take ho with her," said Nora with a heartbroken look as she took the last sip of the wine.
Dylan patted her shoulder and said, "People change when love gets involved. Don't take it to heart." He sighed heavily as he added, "My best friend didn't even say hi to and left. Yours only forgot to take you ho."
Nora looked at Dylan sympathizing with her and nodded in agreent. She gave him an encouraging pat and said, "Don't look so down. Let's go for so dessert and coffee. My favorite cafe is about five minutes away."
"Is this ti for coffee and cake?" asked Dylan looking at her strangely. After all, they had just been drinking! However, Nora didn't listen to him and dragged him along. They didn't take the car since the cafe was about five minutes away. That's why on Nora's insistence, they both walked on the night street. Looking around at the brightly lit street with mostly couples walking hand in hand, he sighed out, "I suddenly feel really lonely."
Nora understood his aning but since she couldn't do anything about it, she jokingly said, "Try turning off all the lights and watching a horror movie. Trust , you won't feel lonely at all." Seeing Dylan's not so amused look at her joke, she had enlightennt, "Don't tell you still have that childish fear of ghosts?"
Dylan rolled his eyes at her statent and smiled which wasn't really a smile as he said, "Childish fear? If I rember clearly, you're scared of space. Isn't that more childish?"
Nora's competitive spirit ca out as she straightened up her expressions and said, "How is that childish? You tell yourself, isn't it scary? I an the universe is so so so big. Imagine being all alone in this whole universe. Actually, being alone or not being alone, the idea is equally scary."
"I understand your point but sis, can you explain to why do you think that you'll end up in space? I an it's not like one day you woke up and earth lost its gravity and you floated all the way to space." Dylan didn't know why but he found his own words really funny and laughed out.
Nora rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's a possibility. Like?the possibility of all those possibilities being possible is just another possibility that can possibly happen." She took a deep breath after saying that in one breath and added, "Anyway, what I an is that don't question possibilities."
Dylan scratched his head trying to find a way to digest her words before he said, "Would you like to enlighten why are we talking about space and ghosts?"
Nora pursed her lips before she said, "Because we're both singles who have nothing better to do." Dylan gave her a fist bump as a silent affirmation while she said, "Oh, we're here."
When Dylan looked at the café, he wanted to say sothing but her excitent shut him up as she continued, "Let tell you, they serve the best coffee. And the black forest cake is to die for."
Dylan silently listened to her as they entered and walked towards the counter to order. "One iced Aricano and black forest cake. What do you want?"
"I'll take the usual," said Dylan with a smile directed towards the girl behind the counter who nodded in response. Noticing Nora's curious gaze on himself, he answered, "Don't be surprised. I am a regular."
"Really? But you don't like coffee and this place is famous for it's coffee," said Nora. She lowered her voice and added, "This place is also famous because of the boss lady. She is gorgeous. And if I, as a woman, am calling her gorgeous, you can possibly imagine."
Dylan was about to answer her when he saw a figure coming out of the backroom and waved his hand as he shouted, "Hey, sis!" Nora's eyes widened in surprise. Dylan clicked his fingers before her eyes and said, "FYI, the gorgeous boss lady is my elder sister, Qui ihui."
Nora's jaw dropped to the floor. anwhile, Qui ihui ca up to them and said, "How co you're here?"
"Can't I co to pick my sister up? I was in the area and thought to take you along. We live together anyway." While Dylan was explaining, Qui ihui looked like she didn't believe a single word that ca out of his mouth.
"Little brother, don't lie for no reason. If you were this thoughtful, I'd have died from shock a long ti ago," replied Qui ihui, clearly mocking him.
"Are you sure you're my sister?" asked Dylan.
"I wish I wasn't. But I'm stuck with you," said Qui ihui in a remorseful voice. Her eyes fell on Nora as she asked, "Who is she? Your friend?"
Dylan frowned at the intonation of her voice and wrapped an arm around Nora's waist saying, "She can be my girlfriend. Why did you just assu that she's just a friend?"
Qui ihui looked at Nora and then at Dylan before shrugging her shoulders and saying, "Sorry, I just couldn't get my mind around the fact that a sane girl would want you as a boyfriend."
"SIS!" While Dylan was being thoroughly insulted by his sister, Nora laughed to herself at this bickering.
Qui ihui completely disregarded Dylan and extended her hand towards Nora saying, "Hello! I'm Dylan's sister, Qui ihui. But you can call i."
Nora shook her hand and greeted back, "Hi, I'm Nora. Nora Cartwright. Nice to et you."
Qui ihui smiled at her and said, "You look really familiar."
Nora scratched her head in a silly manner as she said, "I co here a lot for coffee. I just love this place."
"Stop flattering her," said Dylan in exasperation.
Nora was about to retort but sothing or rather soone behind Qui ihui caught her eyes and she paused in disbelief.Please go to
