Meeting You Was Fate

"Do you want me to drive?" Mandy asked as she quickened her pace, so she could keep up with Nathan.

"What do you think?" Nathan rhetorically and disdainfully asked.

"But I..." Mandy stammered hesitantly as she stood in front of Nathan.

"But what? Did you want to say that you have never driven such an expensive car; thus, you are afraid you might wreck it?" Just like a mind reader, Nathan said exactly what Mandy was thinking in her head but couldn't say out loud.

Hearing this uncanny prediction, Mandy just nodded her head obediently.

"Don't worry. If you get into a car accident, it will be I who is at fault," Nathan said as he cast a glance at Mandy. 'This girl is really not ambitious. She is afraid she will die because she is driving a luxurious car!' Nathan thought inwardly.

"Ha-ha, okay, as long as you remember, you will be the person at fault, not me, then I'll drive," Mandy blurted aloud. She was so excited that she jumped in the car and quickly buckled her seatbelt.

Nathan slowly got in the front passenger seat. It had been awhile since he had sat in the front passenger seat. Mandy was honored that she could be his driver.

"So, where are we going for dinner?" Mandy asked as she started the car. She wore an innocent smile, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

"Wherever! I don't care," Nathan said. A touch of a smile appeared on his handsome face. His tone was contently lazy like a cat in the sunshine.

"Okay!" Mandy stepped on the gas and drove out of Crystal Street.
