It's Sunday morning and I'm completely stressed out. I forgot to continue my search of places last night. I only got so few in my list, I don't even know where they are exactly. And since I don't know where else we're going, I'm on a dilemma of what to wear.
And why do I need to dress up? Because I want to look beautiful. Oh but where are we going?
After 20 changes, I decided to wear a black skater skirt paired with a baby blue crop top. And as I prefer comfort, I wore my favorite black and white trainers. Heh whatever.
I called Ash since I had no time yesterday.
"Hey pretty guy!"
"Hey Cassidy. How are you?"
"Do not ask me that! How dare you leave me that night?! You promised you'd take care of me!"
"Cassidy. I'm really sorry. It was just, I just missed my girl so much I can't contain it anymore."
I groaned. "Yeah whatever. But you have to compensate for that broken promise."
"Hey no! Minho was still there. I asked him to look out for you when Gina and I decided to go home first."
Wh-what? But why is Minho's version a little different? I was still thinking over it when Ash called me again.
"Cass?"
"Yeah?"
"I heard you're going on a date with Minho today?"
"Date?! Who told you that?! I am just repaying his goodness. I don't want to owe anyone you know that!"
I heard some laughing on the other line.
"Why are you laughing? Wait, did Minho tell you that?"
"Hahahaha you know, a word of advice. Minho's a little outgoing, no super outgoing. If he wants something, he would say it. No u-turns and circles for him. Straightforward, a little strict but a reliable guy. You'll be in good hands."
Why does it sound like he's giving me away?
"I know Ash. I feel it that he's a good guy. But, somehow, I still have reservations."
"Yes, that's normal and very good. You have to save some for yourself first. And last thing, he's a bit shameless. So beware! Haha goodbye Cassidy. Have fun!"
And he hung up.

I waited for Minho in a bench just outside my apartment building. We agreed to meet at 9am. And it's 9:05 already. 5 more minutes and I'm ditching this city tour.
Just then a black Porsche parked in front of me. The window rolled down and there I saw him.
I stood up and glared at him. "You're late!"
"It's just 5 minutes!"
"Still late."
"Won't you give me some grace period? You know anything can happen on the road."
"Well yeah. Fair enough." I stood there contemplating.
"What are you standing there for Cassidy?"
"Oh. Well, I.. I.. uhm we're riding this?"
"What else? Or do you wanna walk?"
"Of course not!" I immediately opened the car door and sat.
"Seatbelt." Uh so strict. I buckled my seatbelt and then off we went.
"So where are we going first?"
"Hmm to the city square. I think we ought to go first on relaxing places."
"A city square is relaxing?"
I laughed. "Yes. Just wait and you'll find out you're wrong."
"Hmmm. Then let's go. So where should we turn from here?"
I was dumbfounded, my mouth probably hanging. I forgot to search the directions and I'm not so good in directions. I have only been to the Central Park and my school ever since I moved here. Oh my god why are you so stupid Cassidy!
Minho laughed. "You don't know the way?"
I looked down, embarassed. Minho continued laughing. He even stopped the car at the side, clearly he can't drive in that condition.
After quite some time, he managed to stop laughing and looked at me.
"So Cassidy, how are you going to solve this?"
"Uh wait. I'll go search the internet." But before I could take out my phone, a police car stopped near us. An officer sauntered towards our car and knocked on the driver's side window.
"This side of the road is a no parking zone."
I immediately replied, "I'm sorry it was an emergency."
"You should have turned on your hazard lights then."
I looked at Minho. His face is showing funny.
"Sir, give me your license please."
Minho's face is turning paler by the minute. And I think I know why.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
