《Love on Top》Ch.12
Advertisement
My parents,after convincing them,decided that meeting Daphne was a little too early. They both decided to meet her when we made it official,and I'm hoping that we do. My mother told me to never buy Daphne's affections because she had a feeling that she's not like all the other women I have dated who were spoiled a great deal throughout their lives and who were only impressed by materialistic things. I know that Daphne isn't like that and that she will never ever be like that all. Daphne is the kind of woman you don't take for granted and the kind of woman you love and cherish for the rest of your life. Even though we are still getting to know each other,I am starting to have strong feelings for this beautiful woman who captured my eye.
Tonight I was taking Daphne out to see a movie called My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. She's been talking about it for days and I decided to actually take her out to see it even though I want to watch Batman vs. Superman,but for her I'll make an exception.
"Samuel,let's go into the theatre. I think it's about to start," Daphne informed me. I smiled down at her.
"Alright." We walked to our designated theatre and we sat on row E and in the middle of the theatre because of the sound quality being better right there. I sit down right next to her and the previews start.
In the middle of the movie,I felt the urge to place an arm around her,but I didn't want to do it if she felt uncomfortable with it. Daphne suddenly lifts the arm rest and moves closer to me. I smiled a little and put an arm around her.

After the movie,we were both walking back to my car. She was talking about the movie and how great it was as I smiled down at her. She's cute when she rambles.
"Samuel," She softly said in a sing-song voice.
"Hm?" I looked down at her.
"I said maybe next time we can go see Batman vs. Superman," She tells me.
"Okay," I nodded.
"But for now,let's go get something to eat cause I am starving," She said. I chuckled and we get into my car. Daphne decided to turn on the radio and she tuned it to a hip-hop and r&b station. She noticed that a song by Rihanna was playing and words couldn't even describe how terrible she sounded just trying to sing in time with the words.
"You needed me," She sang. I scrunched my eyebrows together with an amused smile on my face. She was so terrible,but I don't think I have the heart to tell her. She turned it down low and looked at my expression. She laughed at it.
"I know I'm terrible,but could you at least make an expression that doesn't give away what you truly think," She murmured.
"Sorry," I chuckled.
"It's fine. My siblings,especially Chad,tell me that I sound like a tone deaf whale on crack," She said. I burst into laughter. She laughs with me. I drive to a place called 5 Napkin Burger. When we arrived,a hostess was standing behind a podium with another. The hostesses started to stare at me.
"H-H-How.......many?" One of them stuttered.
"Two," Daphne spoke up. The girl looks at Daphne as her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. The one who had stumbled over her words grabbed two menus and led us to a booth. We both sat down at the table after she set down the menus.

"Enjoy," She mumbled before walking away.
"I saw the way they were looking at you and I can't blame them," Daphne smiled softly and warmly at me.
"Well I am a good looking man," I grinned broadly.
"And a cocky one at that," Daphne muttered. I chuckled. Our waitress came over to take our orders.
"Good evening. My name is Ashley and I'll be your server for tonight," She greeted.
"Hi," Daphne said.
"Can I start you guys with something to drink?" She asked.
"I'll have a coke," Daphne replied.
"And I'll just have a water," I murmured.
"Alright. I'll go get your drinks while you look over your menus," She smiled then walked away. Daphne and I decided to talk to each other while looking over our menus. When our waitress came over with our drinks,she took out her pen and pad then asked for our orders. We both told her what we wanted,she took our menus, and she left to go put our orders into the computer. We talked a little bit while also waiting on our food. I started to tell Daphne about me living in Taiwan until I was fifteen.
"Was it hard adjusting?" She asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe," I responded.
"Well I bet Taiwan is much more beautiful," She said.
"It is,but America has its own beauty," I tell her.
"Yeah it does sometimes," She sighed. I smiled softly.
"Maybe one day I can actually take you there," I tell her. She looks at me in surprise.
"Really?" She asked.
"Mhm," I nodded propping my chin on my fist.
"I've always wanted to travel especially out of the country to places like Abu Dhabi,Jamaica,Barcelona,or India," She tells me.
"You'll probably fall in love with Taiwan," I said.
"I agree," She smiled.
"Out of all of the places you just listed,where would you like to go the most?" I asked.
"Hm...I would probably go to India," She answered.
"Why India?" I queried.
"I really want to see the Taj Mahal. I've only seen it in pictures and just looking at something in pictures is not the same as seeing it in person. I just hope that if I get to travel there some day,I would go see the Taj Mahal," She explained.
"Never thought of it like that," I said.
"I know it sounds kind of cheesy,but it's just kind of how I feel," She softly replied.
"I don't think it's cheesy. I think it's very cool that you want to see it person rather than always seeing it in pictures or on a tv screen," I assured her. She smiled at me warmly.
"Thanks," She beamed,"Now tell where you'd like to travel to. I'd like to know."
"Well I would probably travel all the way to Barcelona like you had said you would. Barcelona seems so nice and it's probably beautiful during the summer," I explained.
"It probably is," She agreed. We continued to talk to each other about many other things. It was nice to just sit here and talk to someone who I can easily talk to. Daphne was just that person.
