Waking up with a growling stomach, I look around my room and notice that it is still dark outside. My curtains are still open and the lights from billboards is seen outside. I get up from my bed and notice that the CD player is still there but it a soft melody is being played on it.
A smile creeps on my face, realizing that Everleigh did it. She did not bother to get her player back to her room and I really love her for being this soft in terms of my fragility. Since I a famished at this early hour because I did not bother to eat last night, I walk outside my room and notice that it is still 4:19 in the morning. I peek at Leigh’s room first and saw her sleeping soundly so I just smiled and went to the kitchen to make us a breakfast. It just took me maybe half na hour so I ate peacefully in the kitchen while scrolling on my social media account until realization dive down inside.
“Goodness, f*ck…” I whispered before I get up from my chair and ran back to my room, opening my MacBook to browse and study about my quiz removal later. “Damn, Woolf, damn Elric.” I murmured to myself as I try to relax myself for me to understand a thing on the notes that is posted on our Edmodo account.
I check for the time and it’s still five in the morning and my class will start at nine, like the usual. I still have few hours to study and maybe it would be enough for me to familiarize all the information that will be possible on the questions later.
Everleigh walk inside my room later and I just watch her grabbing her CD player then walk back out from my room again. I chuckle with a shaking head, thinking that she must had a long way of thinking last night if she’ll get that player back to her room or let it rest for me. Either way, she chose the latter—that was so sweet of her.
“I prepared our breakfast, you are welcome!” I exclaimed as soon as she closes my door.
There is a long silence in between us until she smash my door once. “Yeah, but could you at least put your socks in the hamper? You left it on the couch yesterday, we might stink!”
I groaned while moving my cursor. “I’ll fix my things later! You should go to class now, you have it on seven today!”
Everleigh did not answered me after that so I just continue reading some articles and few excerpts from her book. I promised myself yesterday that I should not cry over Elric again and I will take this as an opportunity to study my subjects for today. We will be having our Broadcasting Literacy later but today will just be the first time to meet with our Professor of that subject since he was out of town and just went back yesterday as per noticed by the school head.
It took another one hour and a half until I decided to fix myself, take a bath and pick the most comfortable outfit for today. My theme would be white and purple today so might as well wear a beanie to cover my top head. I would also commute to school today since Everleigh drove the car herself because of her first class. And I would not mind riding the bus anyway.
After a little prep, I took my golden belt to run it across my waist to add a little style. Upon watching myself in front of the mirror, I giggle in silent, appreciating my looks.
“A good smile looks really great on me.” I talked with myself.
I pick my white minimalist tote bag before I slid my MacBook inside it. I also make sure that I have my paper with me, not wanting to mess up my subjects once again. While riding the elevator going down, my phone beeps for the first time today and it’s Levi, sending me a message after that day when Elric and I broke up.
Best Dude Levi: where u at?
A little smile escape from my lips after reading his short message. I am about to type my reply for him when he messaged me again.
Best Dude Levi: saw Leigh entering their building, where are you?
Best Dude Levi; we got class, Rael is shitting on his pants, where are you?
I laugh because of his next messages.
Me: for real??
After a few seconds, Rael’s name popped up on top of my notification panel so I open our chat box.
Boss Rael: seriously, I did not, why are you so gullible?
I ignored his messages while laughing until the elevator’s door opens. I tap Levi’s name once again to type my reply to him.
Me: out now. I’m taking a bus, see you guys!
It’s a little bit of a struggle waiting for a vacant bus at this hour since it’s the usual time for workers going to their duty. There are also some university students waiting in the bus stop until another bus came so I immediately went inside. I took the seat next to the window to enjoy the highway. My bus ride only take twenty minutes before I reach the university gate. The clock outside says it’s eight thirty-eight already so I automatically went inside, walk straight to our building then went to sixth floor for our first subject. It has been three days since our second semester started but I look cramming at the moment.
Nah, it’s just because of my private exam session later with Mister Dawson, the hottest profess—hold on, what?
I shake my head desperately before entering the room. He is still not in the class, knowing that it is still eight forty-five but some of my classmates are already there and most of them are women, maybe simping over that Professor.
I scan for my friends and aw them playing on their phones. Levi raise his head when he felt my stare and tap once on his phone before putting it on top of his table.
The other guys groaned, giving Levi a sharp look. “What the hell, bro?” Rael exclaimed, spreading both of his arms mid-air.
Levi did not give him the attention and look at me instead. “Everleigh told us you did not eat dinner last night. You even left the university alone.”
I look at Levi and notice how worried he looks right now. I just carefully put my bag down since I have my MacBook with me before taking Alaric’s place for the mean time.
“I am fine! I was just maybe tired from the last few days so I thought, I might need to chill down and feel the ned to be alone for the moment. But I am a fine as$ now!” I stated, peeking on Nathan’s phone who is closer to me. “You guys are playing?”
“Yeah but Levi exited the arena while the war is ongoing, this dumbas$, hold on, wait a sec, talk with Levi. I am still busy.”
“Come on, we cannot do this anymore. Levi got all the stocks with him but he exited.”
Levi groan this time “Why do you always throw the blame at me? You guys can absolutely finish the game without me, these gays.”
I laugh while watching them showing their phone at Levi. The latter looks frustrated right now but there is a hint of smile being plastered on his face and that alone makes me smile myself.
Thank God, I have a friend like them.
“Bull’s eye!” Mansrael exclaimed, raising his phone.
“No, idiot, there are still soldiers on the way don’t be stupid.”
“Wow, bow down to our King Levi!” Rael exclaimed sarcastically, making Nathan laugh.
He show me his phone but I could not understand a thing there but he seems happy. “Dude, we are winning.”
I just shook my head a little before looking around the room. Nicolette and her friends, like the usual, are on the same place while fixing their make ups. I look at Levi and lean to their side even though Nathan is the first one on my side.
"Are they always like that?" I whispered.
Nathan look at me with curiosity and Levi seems to understand what I mean. Rael, on the other hand who is sitting next to Levi, looks at me with a furrowing brows. "You mean those girls from the other side?" Nathan asked back, not on his game anymore.
I nod my head.
"Most of the girls inside this room probably has a huge crush over Mister Dawson. It's a known issue here, why are you so surprised?" Levi asked, while playing with his lower lip. I nod my head a little before I lean back on the chair.
"He's hot, yes, but he is a professor and he is probably with a girlfriend now. He's old perhaps."
Rael chuckle this time while he is now back to his phone. "He's just twenty-nine, bijj!"
My brows furrowed even more. "That's already old."
Levi and Nathan chuckle this time until Nathan put down his phone before he hug me on my nape, pulling me closer to him. "That age has a potential to be Prince Charming just so you know."
I gasp, pulling away from his hold. Levi is now chuckling while watching the both of us until Rael suddenly screamed in victory.
"Chicken dinner!" Levi shake his head before he return back his attention at Nathan and I.
"He's going thirty. Old men is serious on dating, why not try looking for an old man?"
"What?!" I screamed in front of his face. "You seriously can give me to someone old? I hate you." I murmured.
The guys just laugh at me until the door opens, showing the Professor we are talking about. He fixed his last button of his suite first before looking at the class. Like the usual, he just discussed about the same Author but in the middle of the discussion, the topic shifted then follows by another person who is also a modern writer. He even wrote on the board his relevance, his books and his contribution to the world literature. Everything was like that until our time ended, so with a giggle, down girls from our class automatically ran outside where the Professor went out, probably wanting to ride the elevator with him. I shake my head.
"Some of them are from third year, right?"
Nathan look at me. "Yeah."
We walk down to the third floor for our second class which is broadcasting. It's the first time we met our Professor who looks pretty and expensive on her dress. She was the one I meant who we have our first meeting just today. She introduced herself and that's when we knew that she was from Paris, studying media and theatre there for three years. I admire how she speak in front of us with elegance and she seems cool to everyone.
"You guys must have known that broadcasting literacy is very important for students like you. Before we step outside the pillars of this University— to maybe for some, to pursue theatre, or journalist, and maybe Author and publish books, and in most cases, study in foreign countries. As a literature students, one must know how media works."
It goes well until twelve so we ate our lunch with Everleigh. The latter is throwing rants at me about Elric and Mhaureen because she saw them in the field while she was in the way to the cafeteria. Levi is silent about it except for Rael who is always alert and active when it comes to these kind of things. Even though I am hurt hearing her say those things to me.
I just smiled at her, putting a piece of meat on her plate. "Do not think about it, I am fine."
“Of course you are fine, he don’t deserve someone like you, that cheater!” Everleigh exclaimed.
I chose to just chuckle out of her rants until Rael seems intrigued and excited as soon as he put down his fork on his plate.
“Damn, speaking of the evil.”
We all look at where he was looking and I do not exactly know what to feel upon seeing Elric with Mhaureen on his side. They both look happy walking side by side and his arm is around the latter’s waist—and I do not know but my jealousy went higher even though I have to stop myself from doing so.
I just can’t help it. I thought inside.
I chose to look away and continue eating my food until Levi stands up. My heart started to race seeing him walk way and iw as thinking that he might throw a fist to Elric once again but good thing he walks the other way, leaving the place.
Everleigh, Nathan, Rael and I look at each other.
“What’s with that dude?” Rael asked curiously.
I followed him with my gaze until he reach the exit, not looking back anymore.
“He must have chosen to exit the place than see that guy here, his patience is going to a new level.” Leigh muttered before she take another spoon of food inside her mouth.
I worriedly look at where Levi is but then my attention shifted back at Elric and Mhaureen who greeted few acquaintances to their table.
“And look at this man, enjoying all the attention as if he did not hurt someone.” Leigh rants again. “And how could this people immediately disregard you as his girlfriend when in fact they know you guys were dating? I mean, that fast?!”
“Yeah, people moved on so fast.” Nathan added while chewing his apple. “And you guys also should.” He then added.
Everleigh and I look at each other before she yelp, going abck to her foods on her plate. I take a deep sigh before I continue eating mine as well until Rael chuckle from my side.
“Who wants to go to arcade later?”
Nathan groaned this time. “I got class at six.”
Rael make face right after Nathan said that. “Then you stay here. What about you girls?” Rael excitedly look at Everleigh and I and I could not help but to smile as soon as I saw him getting excited. I nod my head in agreement knowing that my schedules this semester is not that hectic like the previous one. Rael then look at Leigh this time, hoping.
“You?”
Everleigh seriously tilt her head as she look at Rael and later point his fork towards him. “Your treat?”
***
Now that it is almost three in the afternoon already, I walk alone towards the faculty area and notice how the place is always silent. I am biting my lower lip as I continue walking towards Mister Dawson’s office while holding the strap of my tote bag. I stand close to the door, facing the nameplate before childishly make a face.
Gosh, I look like a kid right no—
“Damian, you know I am not going to love longer why do you keep on fooling yourself?!”
I jump out of surprised upon hearing that. I look around to find where that voice was coming from I just tilt my head knowing that the man mentioned Mister Dawson’s name. So it muts be inside his office? And who was that man screaming?
My curiosity digs deeper so I slowly walk closer to the door and pressed my ears on it, making sure that I can hear the conversation. I know, I know! This is rude but something pushes me to listen and ignore what will happen next if someone will find out about me—being nosy.
“Dad, I can’t give what you wish. You also know that I am not interested about having i—“
“Please, my son…”
My heart races when I heard the man say that. Son? So this must be Mister Dawson and his father? I am about to move away, giving them the privacy they deserve but what his Father said next made me stop.
“I wanted to leave this world with a smiling face—seeing you being finally happy with someone I can entrust you with. I would be so happier seeing you getting married and have a child before I leave this place.” The man’s voice cracked. “I love this world, you know that. But I won’t live long, son. I wanted to see you happy and if that happens, I will be leaving this world without regrets. I don’t want you to be alone..”
My feet found its way to walk away from that place. My heart is beating so fast, can’t understand what I am feeling right now. Hearing that hopeless yet smiling voice from that man makes me want to cry myself. I can see how he love Mister Dawson. I can feel the sincerity he has for his son but what is wrong with that Professor?! He’s old enough to marry and have a child why can’t he give the old man a favour?
While sitting back on one of the benches, I wipe the tears falling.
“Gosh, everything is making me emotional.” I whispered to myself.
I sniff while wiping my nose but two people caught my attention in front.
Standing from the other side of the field is Elric again, running for Mhaureen who seems happy being chase by him. I can see how both of them are happy together—and they both look so pure on that laughter. I watch them still until Elric caught her. He tug her arm before pulling her close to him and kiss Mhaureen in front of the crowd—in front of me.
My tears began to double when I can feel how my heart still broke to pieces, seeing the man I loved loving someone else. The crowd, including his football teammates, cheered for them and that added a batch of pain inside my chest.
To protect myself from these pain, I stand up and decided to walk back on where the faculty building is. Lie earlier, I am walking alone on the hallway, lifeless. My shoulders are down, facing the ground and the promised I told myself has now been broken because of what I saw. I stop mid-way, wiping the tears on my cheeks.
Right. I promised myself not to cry anymore over that guy. I deserve better and Dionne is not like this before. I have to pick myself and show them I am not crying over them—that they are the reason why I am almost giving in.
No. They don’t deserve my attention, my love and my tears.
Sniffing one more time, I took a deep breath and making sure that my tears are not visible on my face anymore. I take a step forward until I reach Mister Dawson’s office, knock thrice before turning the knob for me to get in.
I hope his Father is not here anymore. I thought to myself.
True to what I expected, he is alone already. Mister Dawson raise his head and saw me walking confidently towards his table. He raise his right brow as he put down his pen on top of the table, watching me curiously.
Finally, I stand a meter away from him across where he is sitting. I did not cut my gaze to him and with full conviction and pressed lips, I muttered:
“I am willing to be your woman.”
I can feel how my Professor’s stares dig deeper to my soul as I stare back at him without any hesitations. I am biting my lower lip tightly with my fists all closed, waiting for his response. Even though I may look like fierce and strong in front of him, I could not deny the fact to myself that my knees are both trembling as more seconds passes. The silence that stands in between us is very deafening as if he is thoroughly weighing my emotions—maybe reading if I am freaking serious or not.I must admit that what I am doing is a result of a hasty decision I made just a minute ago but I could not run away from this scenario and act as if nothing happened. And this decision was primarily driven by my rage from what I have saw earlier and his Dad’s wish is one of the reason as well. I love my Dad and Mom; and hearing someone pleading for his one last wish is very painful. These people are so precious and even I could not live without my Mother and Father.
I am watching Everleigh and Nathan fighting over a plate of lasagna then Levi and Rael is just peacefully eating on my side. I blow an air while they kept on tugging the little plate from left to right with look as if their lofe depends on that food.Levi from my right side sighed. “You don’t want to always fight until your last breath, right?”Both of them look at Levi with their brows forming a straight line. "I don't want to die with this man." Everleigh muttered in pure frustration.Nathan hissed this time, releasing his hold from the little plate. "Nor do I. I was even wondering until now how you became part of this circle. You are so annoy–""You know, there is this famous saying from the East that says: the more you hate a person, the more you'll live him/her in no time." Rael said that while chuckling as he dip his fries on the sauce. Both of our friends made a face while looking away from each other and Everleigh even made
While Mister Dawson is discussing in front, someone opened the door oc e again and it shows Alaric who is all sweaty over his face. He is obviously panting and maybe running towards here until he look at our Professor before he apologize.“I am so sorry for being late again, Mister.”I am waiting for Mister Dawson to throw words at him like what he did to me on my first day but he did the opposite. He just motioned Alaric to sit down and the later automatically ran up the stairs going to his seat. Our eyes met but I could not show a smile, knowing that he didn’t got complex by the Professor like what I experienced.I give Mister Dawson a sharp look, not even worried that he will see me. How unfair! I was late before and he automatically judge me in front of the class—saying about his so-called frist impression, and now, he let that Alaric enter the place without even trying.Is he gay? And that’s the reason why he don’t
My lips are both parted from each other hearing Alaric say that all of a sudden. He raise his gaze at me innocently before he smiles as he put down the paper on top of his table. “William simply tells, ‘you are beautiful, I love you’ to someone he loves to the point that he even compared the beauty from a summer. Tone is obviously very in love as well.” He added while nodding his head. “If you would not mind, we can create an online document where we can edit freely the parts we want to edit. Or if you want, we can finish this together as well—““Huh?”Alaric seems taken aback and tilt his head when he realize something. Later on, he chuckle in a cute manner before he bows his head a little. “I am so sorry. I forgot that we just met and I understand that. Anyway, this is only a piece of cake, I know you can even do this with your eyes closed.” He laughed when he said that.I joined him in laughing
I am currently standing inside our condo’s balcony while appreciating the city lights in the background. Tall buildings are being lit up as early as five in the afternoon, and now that it’s seven almost eight already, it became more beautiful, plus the cars from below is wonderful to look out.“I don’t know but your smile sometimes creeps me out.”I look at my right and saw Everleigh standing with me. Both of her hands are hugging herself while also appreciating the view in front. It’s cold anyway, and I wonder why. We are heading to March but the breeze is still cold as if it’s the month of December.“I was not smiling.” I said after a few seconds.Leigh look at me so I return back her stares until she gave me a knowing look then started poking me on my side. “You did something rubbish?”A little chuckle came up from me before shoving her hand away. “Stop it, I did not.”
Everyone started to murmur around the place as Mister Dawson entered the room. His hair is fine and well-comb and from the looks of him, he absolutely looks like fresh and expensive.“Your mouth.” I heard someone spoke from my right.Later did I know, it’s Nathan and I just roll my eyes at him. “Woah, woah, bad mood?”“Talk with Nicollete instead. Don’t talk to me.” I murmured then look back in front to watch Msietr Dawson move his things on top of the table. He arranged his thing first before looking up in thr class, hands both inside his pants now. “Good morning everyone. I notice that some of your blockmates already sent me their files for their Activity. So as you have notice, the passage is all about William Shakespeare this time.” He grab his book from his table before turning raound to face the white board—writing something on it.“The bard.” He said out a loud the
“M-Mister Dawson…” I called him when I got so surprised seeing him this close. I even almost hit him with the door but he really is smart enough to know the distance in between him and the moving wooden door.I blink my eyes twice when he turns around, leaving me on the same spot. I cleared my throat this time, trying my best not to stutter in front of him. Mister Dawson headed back on his table before he grabs a pile of papers from one of his shelves just a meter away from his table.“Alaric and I would just want to raise a concern about our Thesis topic—““I did not saw your Literary Analysis yet but you are already asking me about your Thesis.”I purse my lips. Here he goes again. Sometimes, talking with this Professor is such a pain in the ass and I can barely survives his attitude knowing that I am a bit frustrated as well.“We are already finalizing about it, Mister. Alaric talked a
Mansrael drove away from the city and I could not hide the excitement that lingers inside me. The familiar aura of green trees, beach and mountains as we come close to the same place wheere we always get wasted in the air is near. It took us maybe almost thirty minutes before we finally went out from the city and the car windows now are open—as we feel the sunlight kissing down our skin.“Bro, almost there.” Rael murmured with a grin on his face. I let my head out in the window to hug the wind. My hair automatically flew away, some covers my face but I remained laughing as Rael keeps laughing inside too.“F*ck life!” I screamed on top of my lungs, now spreading both of my arms on the air. I look at the beach side and the waves are roughly crashing down on the shore maybe because of the breeze on this place. Later on, I found myself closing both of my eyes while facing my face up in the sun, letting the sunlight kiss my skin.&
Maybe they are right when it rains on your parade, rainbow will soon to occur after a long journey of heavy rains. I have been wishing for a Prince Charming on a right time with a Cinderella-like love story to pacify my standards. But never thought that I would be no like Cinderella because I was born to create my own story and find my Prince Charming on my own silly way.“Gosh, I don’t feel my make-up today.” I mumbled while watching myself in front of the mirror.Leigh, who is also fixing herself, growled. “Shut up, preggy, you look good already.”I immediately cup my belly after Leigh said that. My baby is six months now, three way to go before we’ll finally see him. And yes, it’s a boy. Damian was so happy after we had our gender reveal celebration last month. I could not help but to chuckle on what my love story looks like. Did not know that being in a total heartbreak can lead a person to another roller-coaster love story that I thought, will fail as well like the usual. Who wou
Did not know why I am back on my hometown alone after spending a day with my friends. Earlier, I was laughing with them to cast all my worries away not until I am finally left alone inside that house. I have never been so empty my life, maybe I was devastated after Elric broke up with me but what Damian did is more painful. I was not expecting a Prince Charmng anymore, contented on how he is to me, but guess I am failed by my own thoughts again. I spent weeks on hiding my pain but this time, I could not take it anymore. Never thought that after hours of good times and laughter, will lead me to this kind of misery. I guess we really should not be too happy or else we’ll be sad longer.I am currently in the same place I was before but this time, I am here because not because I fought with someone but because I failed to love one more time.Earlier, after my friends left, I notice that Damian weren’t at home—even his car. I guess he is out again to wherever he is going. I bent my knees f
Days and weeks passed by so fast. Damian and I maintained the distance, we did not talk like the usual. We just talk about the improvements of the baby, nothing more personal. I have been hiding crying under the sheets for weeks now as well but I woke up feeling a lot better than the previous day. I kept reminding myself to be strong for this little me inside me and that I should continue this damn of a hell-hole.Today, it’s Friday. Leigh and Alaric would be coming here after class so I prepared and ordered foods for us. Damian already said himself that I can definitely treat this house as my own, so inviting my friends would not be a big deal. In fact, he even went to pay Aubrey a visit on their rented unit last day so I think we are both fair towards each other. I cup my belly when my stomach growl. I check for the time and sees it’s almost twelve in the afternoon already so I grab some few slices from the steak I ordered from Denvi’s place. I go on my monthly check up as well and
Like what we really want to do, Alaric and I are now looking at the sandbar from a far. People there are enjoying their little vacation, perhaps some of these are students who just finished their term exam. We are both leaning on his car while we are on the side way. Silence envelopes us for long minutes now, no one is talking. We just enjoyed our company without necessary words to speak. I know that there are lots of question running through his head, even I.Questions like, why? Where did we go wrong? Did I trust him too much? Was I that gullible? And lastly, why is he treating Aubrey unlikely? But the latter seems cool seeing us yesterday—like the first day I saw her. I do not know if was I too stupid not to notice or there is really something going on between Damian and I.A loud sigh escape from my lips before tilting my head. “Aren’t you hungry?” I asked to break the silence, remembering that we never had our lunch still. Well, I was about to. But never thought I would be seeing
It’s already eight in the evening when Alaric sent me home after hours of riding the car near the sea side. After Damian left earlier, Alaric invited me for a drive for me to ease the burden feeling I was dealing with earlier. Unlike what Damian said, I did not wait for him back there. And now, as I head inside the n=entrance of the house, the lights from the living room are already off except upstairs. I took a heavy breath while going towards the kitchen and drink a glass of water. I lean for a few seconds on the counter before removing my blazer as I walk upstairs, burnt out and with a heavy heart.I check the balcony of Damian is there but he wasn’t so I am sure he is inside his room. I turn the knob right and sees him reading a book on his table. He look up at me and sigh before going back to the book he is reading.That’s it. I don’t want bullsh8ts while we share the same sheets.I walk straight towards him and put the test result I had few days ago. I saw him looking at the two
I have been sitting on top of the toilet inside our room for long minutes now. The kit is still inside the box after I tested myself right away I arrived home and now, I am afraid and confuse at the same time on how I am going to react by the result. I take a deep a slow deep breath before closing my eyes as I move the kit out from the box.“Oh my god.” I whispered as I decided to open my eyes.My lips parted at the sight of two red lines being shown and my hands immediately shaken, mind starting to process in haywire.“Fck.” I cussed out of deep breath. I then remain my posture to calm my nerves down before I went out from the comfort room just to sat back down on top of the bed. “Oh my god, it did not change.” I even mumbled, sounding so stupid on how I reacted.“Mommy…” I mumbled once again before tearing up. I then realize why I am crying so I immediately fan my face using my hands. “Heck.” I sniff before looking around.Should I tell Damian immediately? Everleigh? The rest of my
I thought that the supposedly lunch won’t take longer that what I expected but I guess not. Alaric and I are both panting as we head out inside a hunted castle in the amusement park. I do not know what pushes me to invite him here but I just feel like going in here, did not really expect that he’ll go with me.Few seconds passed when I saw him offering me a tumbler of water, moving it to and fro in front of my face. “Here.”My gaze shifted towards him confusedly. “You already drank in here.” I muttered, reminding him that he already used this and I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to use it as well, knowing that he used it first-hand.He chuckled. “Right. It was so stupid of me not to realize that.” He mumbled before looking around the area. “You wait here. I’ll find some stores that sells water.”I am about to stop him and would be the one to look for one but Alaric already walked away. I look around with a smile on my face before putting the tumbler down on my side, giggling upon
The next day, Alaric and I still decided to see each other. We are still in Damian’s place as what Alaric also suggested so that we can ask assistance for Damian today. We are almost done on our Thesis which is an advantage so that we don’t have to worry anymore after finals. “Should I talk with Damian instead? I have just few questions to ask.” Alaric said in the middle of our silence. I look at him and he is seriously typing on his laptop while not looking at me. I then turn around to look upstairs before nodding my head. “Sure, if you want to.” I simply mumbled before I fix few useless papers on the carpet. Alaric just nod my head, not responding anymore. Few more minutes has passed one more time when he stand up. I follow him with my gaze as he started roaming around. “Uh, are you seeing him now?” He shake his head with a smile. “No, I was about to ask if you guys can print out papers here.” I immediately nod my head and stand up. “Of course. Damian has upstairs. He should no
I shake my head a little while biting my lips. I watch him as his throat slowly move up and down while looking shock at the house in front where I told him to park. “This is our Professor’s place. Why are we here?” Oh my god how did he know Damian’s place? “H-Ho—“ I tried as much not to stuttered but the way he reacted made me lost my right mind to think immediately. I watch him as he went out the car so I followed him. “Let’s talk inside, Alaric.” I mumbled in a whisper before I swipe the card key to the small gate. I heard him gasp from behind but I did not turn to look at him or how he reacts because I know for sure he is confused and I am as well. How did he know that this is Damian’s place? “Wait, Dionne---“ I face him just we are about to enter the entrance of the house. I rub my temple as I look for words on how to tell him. A deep sigh came out from me before I finally raise my gaze up at him. “Damian is my boyfriend…” I whispered, looking at him under my eyelids, worri
