Late for love) Chapter 6

After hanging up, I went out, and Wanda was still there, chatting with
Grant. His face was still gloomy. After a
long pause, he brought up that thing
again.
“You finished with your friend?
Change that tag, now.”
I glanced at him, surprised. He did
care, didn’t he? I nodded, but he didn’t
know what I was really thinking about.
Grant took it as an agreement and relaxed,
which was observed by Wanda.
Her expression changed. She didn’t
expect Grant to mind it so much.
“It’s still early. Rosie, Grant, let me
take you out to dinner and a movie. Thank you for being there for me.”
I knew why Wanda made that

suggestion: to tell me how nice Grant was to her.
I refused. First, I didn’t want to be
a
part of this game. Second, I had a lot of things to do. But Wanda wouldn’t give up. With a sad expression, she turned to Grant.
“Rosie’s still mad at me, right? I was
being too selfish and stupid… Rosie, I’m sorry.”
She began to cry, making Grant sorry
for her. Then, he cast a disapproving look
at me.

I sighed. If I refused, Wanda would
cry, and I’d be the bad guy. So, I
reluctantly agreed.
It was dinner time, so we went to a
restaurant. It was a seafood restaurant. In
the private room, I looked at Grant.
He avoided my gaze, looking at
Wanda with tenderness as she ordered.
He should feel guilty. He knew I was
allergic to seafood, still, he agreed to come.
here only because Wanda loved seafood.
I only had water, while Wanda
enjoyed the shrimp Grant had shelled for
her. She looked at me, puzzled.
“Rosie, it’s delicious. Why don’t you
try some?”
I smirked, about to speak, when

Grant changed the subject. Another plate
of shrimp was placed before Wanda. She
thanked him shyly, forgetting about me.
After dinner, Wanda dragged us to
the cinema and chose a horror movie. It
was also her plan.
“Aaah!” Wanda screamed repeatedly,
grabbing Grant’s hand, crying that she
was scared. Eventually, she hid in his
arms.
Grant hesitated, wanting to push her away, but seeing her tears, and thinking of her father, he didn’t. He saw me looking at them and tried to explain, but I turned
away, continuing to watch the movie.
He called me by my nickname, but I
ignored him, so he continued to comfort
Wanda. I laughed.
