One Night with Blaze novel Chapter 3

"You are so beautiful Lisa, isn't she Blaze?" Bella turned to ask her son who just stared back at her with his calm gaze, making Bella turn to the girl who has an effortless sweet smile towards her.

"You two look great together...a very handsome doctor for my beautiful Lisa. You simply compliment each other" the woman exclaimed happily.

"She might not be beautiful at all though..." everyone around the table turned to gape at Blaze when he suddenly spoke with his calm tone and unconvinced look.

"Blaze?" Bella subtly warned and glared at her son who just stared calmly at her while the three guests instantly tensed upon hearing what he said.

"She had undergone plastic surgery, she did her eyes, nose, and lips..." Blaze explained matters of factly with his usual calm and casual tone.

The girl turned to gape at her parents while looking so helpless.

Lander pinched the bridge of his nose while Bella continued to gape in embarrassment and disbelief because of what her son had shamelessly said.

The other couple becomes awkward and so quiet while being torn between their daughter and their thoughts of what would be their proper reaction to what the Vaughn heir has pointed out.

"Blaze apologize" Bella glared sharply at Blaze as she softly ordered with her gritted teeth, but he just stared at his mother before he turned to the girl beside him.

"Am I wrong?" Blaze just casually asked the girl who was already on the verge of tears because of embarrassment.

"No..." the girl whispered her response and a tear escaped from her one eye.

"Blaze..." Bella exasperatedly glared at Blaze who remained so composed despite the rising tension around the table.

"She said it herself, I'm not wrong" Blaze just casually replied to his mother's warning.

Bella prayed for patience as she closed her eyes tight and inhaled deeply to loosen the constriction in her chest with Blaze's shameless and unusual behavior.

"It's okay, he is right..." the girl whispered timidly before she smiled sadly and another tear fell from her eyes.

Blaze intently stared at the girl with his calm gaze while both of their parents were all tensed on their seats.

"If you will stop poking your eyes with your nails then maybe you won't tear up so much..." Blaze suddenly spoke with his soft tone when he figured out what was unusual with the girl who kept on poking her eyes to shed a tear. Despite Blaze's soft tone, everyone around the table heard what he said, making Bella and Lander abruptly turn to the girl with their earnest gazes.

The girl abruptly looked up to Blaze in total surprise when she was unexpectedly caught in the act while Blaze just stared at her with his expressionless face.

Bella gaped at the girl and intently stared at her with her suspicious look, while Lander straightened from his seat and looked at the couple across them who instantly looked away and avoided his eyes.

"You can just hitch with me..." Blaze abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned around to Kit who was startled and almost stumbled against him.

"You sure?" Kit cautiously asked and tried to gauge Blaze's mood. Blaze seldom offers his car to anyone, even to him and Paul, he values his privacy so much that he doesn't want anyone inside his car.

"I offered" Blaze briefly responded with his stoic face.

"Okay" Kit just shrugged and rounded towards the passenger seat of Blaze's white SUV.

They drove away towards the engineering faculty in a comfortable silence just like they would usually do during the very few times that they are together in one car.

"Do we have to deal with these sweaty bulls?" Blaze mumbled softly when they parked and watched the field full of sweaty engineering students doing their activities.

Kit just chuckled and shook his head in amusement seeing Blaze's disgusted look. It's seldom that Blaze would show such expression in public and Kit would always be amused if Blaze would sometimes forget to be prim and proper and be human just like all of them.

Blaze is a neat freak and easily grossed out with messy things. He can't stand the foul smell and the smell of sweat on someone's body. A very unusual trait for a future doctor.

"There are face masks and gloves" Kit just exclaimed with clear amusement in his voice.
