63 Too Much Adrenaline (1/2)

When Samantha and Daniel entered the skydiving center, there were already a lot of people waiting to skydive more than usual. Samantha actually wanted to jump once more but it seems like she'll have to wait. Daniel noticed her expression,

”Did you wanna go again?”

Samantha looked at him with a slight smile, ”It's fine. I'll just go next time.”

Although she said it's fine, it was pretty obvious to Daniel that she was disappointed.

”Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you here.”, he said as he sat at the bench and drank some water.

Samantha curiously looked at him before she turned around and went to the changing room.

After several minutes, she came out with a bag in her hand; Samantha had already changed into a sporty casual look. She sauntered towards where Daniel was sitting and stopped a couple of meters away from him when she realized that her outfit matched the colors of Daniel's attire. She was wearing a very light grey hoodie, black yoga pants with the same logo as Daniel's black joggers and then they were both wearing white and black running shoes. Samantha looked at Daniel's clothes, then she looked down at her body and then back to his.

Daniel noticed Samantha near him and caught her cheeks that were blushing red. He wondered what made her blush before he realized that they looked like they were wearing matching outfits. Daniel chuckled and teased, ”I didn't know you wanted to pair with me so badly.”, he spoke while he walked towards her.

Samantha avoided his eyes as her heart pounded like crazy, 'What is wrong with you? How could you get affected so easily? You're acting like a schoolgirl, Sam! Get a grip!'

”I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”, she said while still looking away.

Daniel was very amused by her cuteness. She doesn't blush like this in front of him before. He finds the new Samantha more interesting, he liked how she was before and he liked her even more now. ”Are you hungry? Let's go I'm taking you out for a good meal.”

”What? Hey!”, Samantha protested when Daniel grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the exit.

Kai appeared in front of them with River and Chelsea; the woman who's crushing on Kai for a few years.

”Hey… Kira, where are you guys going?”, Kai said as he glanced at Daniel holding Samantha's wrist.

Daniel and Samantha stopped, ”I'm not sure.”, she said before she looked at Daniel.

Chelsea checked out Daniel from head to toe and a smile appeared on her face when she looked over Kai. She must be having a mental comparison between the two guys who were after Samantha.

”Who's your friend, Kira?”, said Chelsea.

”Um… This is Daniel.”, she then turned to Daniel and gestured her hand to the other two people. ”This is River and Chelsea.”

”Hi.”, Daniel greeted them politely and the other two responded with a handshake.

”Are you heading somewhere?”, River asked.

”We're going to eat lunch.”, Daniel responded.

With one hand on his tummy and eyes so bright, River brazenly asked, ”Oooh! Can we come?”

Chelsea elbowed him on the side and he winced. ”Ow! What?”

”Why would you go? They clearly want to be alone!”

Samantha shook her head and waved her hand, ”No-”,

But Daniel interrupted her before she could say more. ”Sure.”

The four of them looked at Daniel with a surprised look and Samantha furrowed her brows, ”What?”

Daniel Cho turned his head towards her and smiled; teasing her, ”Why? Did you not want to be disturbed? Would you have preferred for us to be alone instead? I would love that too.”

”I didn't say that!”, she gulped.

”It's fine. They're your friends, right? Of course, it's okay for them to come.”

Daniel pulled Samantha out of the center and towards their car.

As soon as River saw Samantha's Bugatti and Daniel's GT, his eyes grew wide, ”Woah... man, I have already seen your car, Kira but dang! Daniel's ride is sweet! Where the hell are you guys from?!”

Country D actually has a lot of rich people so luxury cars are not uncommon to see but River isn't from the country. And now that he personally knows wealthy people like Samantha and Daniel with expensive cars, it's still a shock for him.

”Do you want to ride with me?”, Daniel asked Samantha

”Huh? No-- I'll drive my car.”, Samantha turned to Chelsea, ”Do you want to ride in my car?”

Chelsea blushed and nodded profusely, ”Yes!”

”I want to ride with you guys too!”, shouted River but Kai grabbed his shirt and dragged him towards his Nissan GT-R.

”You're riding with me!”

”What?! Noooo!! I always ride with you!”

Daniel drove his car on the road first followed by Samantha and Kai. Daniel brought them to Lucas' fancy restaurant. He had already called his friend on the way so Lucas was waiting for them by the entrance. When they got to the entrance after they parked their cars, Kai, Chelsea, and River exchanged looks.

”Uhhh... are we really going to eat here?”, Kai couldn't help but ask.

Samantha turned to Kai, ”Why?”

”Isn't this... the Olsen's? How are we gonna afford it? I'm pretty sure I can't even afford their bottled water.”

”Daniel! I'm glad you decided to have your lunch here!”, Lucas smiled and greeted Daniel as soon as he came near.

”I'd like you to meet, Samantha.”, Daniel introduced her to Lucas. ”This is Lucas, he's a very good friend of mine.”

”It's a pleasure to meet you.”, Samantha shook his hand politely.
