Chapter 15.Shopping with him. Best shopping ever!Raphael's pov.I was in the school, just waiting for the time for my first lecture to begin, but first, I had to see Adrian before going to the class. I went towards the parking lot and was just in time to see Ryan riding into the school compound but was without Adrian. What's wrong? I wondered.I was going to approach him to question him about her whereabouts but stopped halfway. Why will I say that I'm looking for her? I wondered and I didn't want to make it obvious to everyone that I'm into her, though I wouldn't mind if everyone had to know about it, I was just concerned about how she would feel.I was still waiting, thinking of the perfect thing to say to Ryan for him to disclose Adrian's whereabouts, but nothing came to my head, then another student approached Ryan, "So, she is not with you today." She said a slight smile was evident on her face."Watch my mouth Millar, or I will be forced to shut you up in my way," Ryan told he
Chapter 16.All sorrows will end with joy. Part 2.Adrian's POV.I don't know why I said that to him, but I wanted to because he did not have any other money inside his wallet and I was not ready to pay for anything with the money I just earned, which was not even enough for me, not to talk of sharing.Dr. Raphael glanced at me and busted into laughter, before driving into the compound of the restaurant. "I'm having my card with me Adrian and even if I'm not, I can wash their plates later to pay, I just want to eat first." He said shabbily. He was so nonchalant, like it was a normal thing to do and I wondered if he had ever washed plates in a restaurant to pay for his meal. He must have and makes him poor, maybe seasonal poor. I concluded."Come on, let's go." He said and alighted from the car, while I did the same. I began to walk behind him, just in case we were to run, I would just escape from him very fast before anyone could get hold of me.We entered to restaurant and everything
Chapter 17.What's going on?Adrian's POV.I went to the kitchen when I was done dressing to greet Mom goodbye. I met her dishing out the food she cooked inside a dish and Galton was with her, helping her. He must have arrived from school when I was in the room. "Hey sis, going to work already?" "Yeah." I picked a little plate and poured myself a small portion of the egg Mom fried. She fried the eggs and I'm sure they will eat it with bread."Oh! I thought I would cease you for a while, I want you to help me with my assignment." He said."That can wait. Wake up very early tomorrow and I will help you before you go to school." I told him.He nodded, "Will do just that. I will be expecting you in my room by 6:00 am, please don't come before that time, I need to sleep til 6:00 am.""Sure, I will try and remember that." I began to eat the fried egg. I wasn't hungry I was still very much filled with the food I had with Dr. Raphael, but Mom's cooking is always tempting and I couldn't resis
Chapter 18.Who are the treats?Ryan's POV.As Adrian told me not to go to pick her up, I didn't put any meaning to it, though I was very much angry, then, there is nothing to be angry for as I was not telling her what Dr. Raphael told me and of course, I can't tell her, it might just end our long time friendship and I would lose her forever, which I dread so much.In the morning when I woke up and got ready to go to school, all that was on my mind was that I would pick Andy up at home and go to school with her, I had already made up my mind to plead with her for my last night's character and apologized with her and then we would go on with our normal lives like we used to do.To my astonishment, when I got to her house and was about to enter, I met Galton, who made me realize that I was late and she had left for school so early in the morning, that he, himself didn't even see her in the morning, he said he doubted that she even ate before leaving.I was shocked, I thought what happen
Chapter 19.Willingness to return his favor.Adrian's POV.Ryan was getting distracted as I narrated what transpired between Me. Boston and me, he was just humming in response, something he always does when he was distracted with something so burdensome. I had to put my narration to an abrupt stop, "...... I know he was going to say I'm fired, and that's all what happened, then I said I should visit you at home before going home since I didn't see you throughout today." I said."Oh really? That's nice." He said, he didn't even notice that I didn't complete my narration and it was so annoying. Dr. Raphael is way better than him, he always listens attentively and will find me a solution, he is also so mature and I prefer speaking with him. I thought and just walked silently with Ryan, and then my thoughts rang in my head again. I shook my head vigorously, fighting with my brain to get the senseless thought off and to focus on the glaring reminder that HE IS MY LECTURER! JUST MY LECTURE
Chapter 20.Enjoying the lecture with my lecturer.Adrian's POV.I stared at Mom in astonishment, already knowing who she was referring to, "See who, mom?" I questioned her."Who? The person you're giving the flask to of course." She said and I just decided to leave her be."Okay, Mom."Just when I dropped the last spoon, I heard the horn of Ryan's bike outside. "Oh! Ryan is here, I will quickly wash my plate." I said and stood up as I picked up the plate, but Galton stopped me."I will wash the plate." He said and collected the plate from me before I could protest."Well, thank you," I said, not meaning it. I just said it out for saying the same, I was still very much mad at him. I turned to Mom, "I will just leave now."I picked up my bag leaned into Mom's face and pecked her before leaving for the door and out of the house, "Hiyaa!" I greeted Ryan and hit his arm lightly.He laughed, "Good morning to you too. You seem so excited and more beautiful this morning, what's your secret?"
Chapter 21.What's Dr. Raphael doing in the CEO's office?Adrian's POV."Dr. Raphael," I called silently in a whisper. I didn't know why I called him, I just felt the words spilling out of my lips and I kinda regretted it, though Dr. Raphael didn't stop leaning in but instead of landing his lips on mine like I thought he would, he landed it on my cheek. Damn you! I cursed myself mentally. I don't know what I was expecting, but I was swallowed with disappointment.He didn't move for seconds, he left his lips fixed on my cheek and when he moved, he leaned in more and suckled my cheek. "Oh gosh!" I gulped. Thank you, Lord, that I bathed and washed my face in the morning, else, I don't know what he would have tasted, maybe a bunch of mud. I managed to think as my head was messy, and so was my reasoning.The feeling of his lips on my cheek was so overwhelming that I couldn't help the disturbing sound that escaped from my uvula and he let go of my cheek immediately. Leaving it so hot and
Chapter 22.Adrian's POV.The voice came again, "Now, I hate that guy with her, he seems to know too much and he is obviously a competitor. Listen up whoever you are, back off, I hate sharing!" It paused for a second then continued, "Can Adrian Williams come inside the office now? I have not all the time in the world." It said and the call was dropped.I knew immediately that it was not Dr. Raphael. The Dr. Raphael I know was patient, but the person under that voice seemed impatient and nonchalant, which was so not him. Also, there was a way Dr. Raphael calls my name that made it some unique and sweet to my ears, even when he calls me Miss Williams, the sweetness is still always there, but this one seemed different, I just didn't feel anything when he called my name and Dr. Raphael had never called me with my full name, except when he first arrived in our school and was shocked by my failure."I will see him." I told Ryan. I have to see the person behind the door, who knows if he is a
