27 What if she sees her? (1/2)
Daniel didn't respond to the man. Samantha noticed his change in expression when Daniel squeezed her side a little.
”I see that you've made your purchase?”, the man in a brown suit said when he noticed the garment bag in Samantha's hands.
”Ah, yes. Thanks for your help earlier.”, she replied with a brief smile.
Daniel looked at Samantha, ”You've met before?”.
Hannah sensed a tensed Daniel, she hurriedly explained, ”Yes, we were having difficulties in choosing a tuxedo. He came over, he was very friendly.”
Daniel nodded. He grabbed Samantha's hand and glanced at the man. ”Thanks for your help. We're leaving.”, he spoke before leading the women out of the shop.
Before they reached the exit, the man in the brown suit said, ”Daniel. I hope we can catch up some time.”.
Daniel paused but didn't say anything. Then he left the shop with Samantha and Hannah.
When they reached the carpark, Hannah bid farewell and left the couple.
Samantha held hands with Daniel on the way to his car. He was quiet ever since they left the shop, ”Are you okay?”, said Samantha.
Daniel turned to Samantha when they were in front of the car, he nodded and spoke, ”Yeah... Did you have fun?”.
”It was tiring... Hannah probably had more fun than me.”, Samantha chuckled then she hesitated before she added, ”That man earlier... is he your friend?”.
Daniel was silent for a few seconds before he answered, ”Not anymore.”
”I see... Do you wanna talk about it?”
”Not today, next time.”, he patted Samantha's head.
”Okay..”, she beamed and handed the garment bag to Daniel, ”Here. This is for you.”
Daniel's brows raised in surprise. ”Oh... Thank you.”, he smiled.
”It's my first time buying a tux. I don't know if you'll like it. I bought it thinking it will pair well with my dress.”
Daniel moved closer and pulled Samantha in his arms, ”If it's from you, I'll love it. I'm sure you have a great style.”
Samantha returned his embrace, ”Good. Because I don't think they accept returns.”, they both chuckled.
When the couple boarded the car and Daniel started driving, Samantha noticed that Daniel was heading towards a different direction.
”Um... Are we going somewhere?”
”Yes. We're having dinner with my family.”
”WHAT??” Samantha's eyes grew wide. ”And you didn't plan on telling me earlier?”
”Are you nervous?” Daniel glanced at Samantha.
”Are you kidding? I'm not nervous! I'm freaking out!!” Samantha clutched at her seatbelt. ”W-Why are we having dinner with them?”.
He shrugged, ”My mother just told me last night to bring you over for dinner. It's nothing... just a casual dinner.”
”Well, sure! I've met your mom but... your dad...”
”Huh.”, Samantha's still worried about meeting his family.
