MELANCHOLIA: Chapter 5
Chapter 5
DREAM
LEVI’S POV
“Men spend about $80 or approximately Php4,000 on a first date on average. Typical person spends between $50–$100, approximately Php1,000–Php5,000 on a date night, occuring on average once a month. In addition, average date may be getting more expensive especially when it’s an out of town. The average price of a movie ticket has risen to Php200 with a discount for students at Php150, yet you can get an all access pass for all films at Php4,000 and films in a competition pass at Php2,200,” I uttered, calculating all the possible cost of dating.
“W-what?”
“Fine dining in Asian, European, American, Thai, Japanese, Middle Eastern, or in International cuisines approximately cost from Php1,500 to Php4,000. I wonder how long before he could muster his courage to confess to you. Let’s just say that he has the money, but his attitude? Oh god, that bastard! He’s so rude!” I grumbled without pausing, releasing my irritation and annoyance from earlier as we headed inside the library.
“What are you talking about?” Adalee’s lips curved, flashing a smile. “I’m not going to date him, Levi. You heard me earlier, I won’t accept him as a suitor.”
“I like you, Adalee. Please let me court you.”
My eyes widened. “What?” I shouted in almost complete surprise. What the hell?
“I like you, Adalee,” he repeated. Adalee just smiled and my eyebrows knitted because of it.
“A-Adalee, say something!” I said, almost a protest.
“Why do you keep on butting in? I’m not talking—”
“I’m sorry, Ced,” Adalee finally had spoken, cutting off Ced’s words.
“W-what? What do you mean I’m sorry?” Ced asked, face scrunched up.
“Thank you for saying that you like me, but I can’t accept it. I mean, I—”
“So, are you dumping me?”
“Obviously,” I grinned.
“I-I’m sorry, Ced,” Adalee replied.
“Why don’t you just think about it first?” he dragged on. Why was he so annoying? He was already rejected!
“It’s my first and final decision. I’m really sorry,” Adalee announced.
“Is that so?”
“Just go away,” I whispered, hoping that he could hear me.
“Alright. I guess, I’ll get going then,” he said...
