I almost forgot that I still have to meet Mister Dawson and his Dad today, making me jump out of the chair inside the library when it is two minutes before two in the afternoon already. Alaric looks so surprised and shock at the same time— even some of the students around the area look at our side.
I bow a little to apologise before looking back down at Alaric. “I am so sorry but I forgot that I still have to meet with someone at two.”
Realization also dawned inside him before checking for the time on his wrist watch. “It’s 1:59 already. You are going late.”
“I feel so wrong. Thank you for today and I am sorry as well. Promise, I’ll be sparing a full of my time for this Thesis next time.”
He chuckled. “It’s fine, Dionne. Go. I will be staying here to read this book.”
With a nodding head, I bid my goodbye at Alaric and before checking my phone notification if perhaps, Miste
Because of what he said, I could not find the right poise and stance the moment it sank inside me that I am here to meet his Dad. I started to look around, clueless on what to do next since I haven’t think about this carefully and now, I want to regret everything— thinking that meeting his dad is like only meeting an old friend. “Goodness–“ My words are cut off when I felt how Mister Dawson wrap his left arm around my waist, making me stand cold and stiff the moment he did that. I am about to complain when the gate slowly opens, showing a good-looking man maybe in his late fifties. I am not sure if I look alright right now but I force a smile on my face as soon as our eyes met. “H-Hi!” I greeted. “Ah, damn it.” Mister Dawson whispered so I look at him. With so much guts slowly building inside me, I move my right arm to Mister Dawson’s waist before I look back on his Dad. “Mister Dawson, good afternoon.” I politely uttered. He stares at
I am inside the library of this house since the two men are both talking to each other privately. Mister Dawson asked me sweetly earlier in front of his Dad if where would I like to spend my free time here and God knows I wanted to laugh at him— face to face. The way his nose secretly flares when he saw me wanting to laugh made it even funnier. My eyes wander around the place and notice how the books are piled according and the place seems cleaned despite from the fact that some of the books in here is quite old now. “Perhaps, some of these are owned by his Dad.” I murmured to myself. I walk towards the other part of the shelf when I notice picture frame on top it and saw a man wearing a university toga. I tilted my head before flashing a little smile. “It’s Tito.” I whispered. My eyes move around once again until a colorful book caught my attention from the other shelf. This books here seems new so perhaps these are ne
I look around after asking myself that unanswered question before standing up. I move my eyes around only to notice that the room is black and white themed. The place is so clean and organize that even my won room would get shy because it is full of dirt and mess. “I could not even see any laundry everywhere.” I added while I continue walking around. “Is this Mister Dawson’s room?” My so many unanswered questions have been finally justified when I notice a literature textbook on top of a working table inside this room. I bit my upper lip, thinking that he might be here earlier while I was sleeping and I suddenly got worried on how do I look like while sleeping. Another opened book is on top of the table so I move to read it for a while killing the time. “William Wordsworth’s contributions to Romantic poetry can be divided into two categories. The first is his impact on literary excellence, and the second is his influence on his contemporaries
Since I feel a little hungry now, I put the book down to grab my phone before standing up to go out from the library. I scan for anyone I can talk to but the hallway on the second floor is empty. I decided to roam around the area since I haven’t got the chance to do that earlier so as I was walking towards the last room, on the last part of the hallway there is a one big frame situated in the center. My head tilted a little when I saw a family portrait and the two people are both very familiar to me and I am certain that it’s Mister Dawson and his Dad. The other person is a beautiful woman who has this small face and small-formed lips and she definitely look good on her white wedding gown. “Where is she now?” I asked myself while going closer towards the image. It just feel so real. They are all good-looking and Mister Dawson seem to get his thin lips from his Mom and the rest of his features came from his Dad. I smiled a little before crossing both of my arms across
The whole place goes silent after Mister Dawson said that, even Tito himself shut his mouth and continue eating. I have no choice but to eat as well even though there are so many questions running inside my mind and I know, there is a deeper reason why Mister Dawson s aid that. It’s not only about because I am around, but I am certain there is more to it—and well, I am getting nosy once again. I cleared my throat when I could not bear the silence anymore. Tito look up at me and I smiled automatically. “Tito, my best friend and I often bakes cake whenever we feel like doing it. Do you want me to bake something for you?” He blinks his eyes twice before transferring his gaze to his son but look back at me anyway with a smile on his face. “Sure! That would be great! I would be expecting from you this weekend?” “Dad, we can’t be here this weeken—“ “Sure, Tito!” I exclaimed before Mister Dawson finished his statement. I look at him when I notice tha
I hurriedly tap the end call button on my phone the moment I heard Mister Dawson calling me from behind. I even haven’t got the chance to hear what Levi was saying since I ended the call accidentally, maybe tripping over my own self who was about to scream something. I fake a smile while scratching the back of my head. "U-Uh, Mister Daw–" "Let's sleep?" "H-huh?" There is an exaggerated big question mark on top of my head now when he said that. I saw how he take steps forward towards my spot then pull me on my waist right after before he leans a little to whisper something on my ear. "Act in. He is hiding behind the bonsai tree." And that's the cue, I automatically plastered a smile on my face before I lean over him while returning back the hold on the waist. As we go inside the house, I can feel how his annoyed breath got louder as soon as we finally get in. I am about to complain and rant when he look at me, pu
The next morning, I am shaken by someone while I lie under the sheets that obviously smells like Mister Dawson. I only had a minimum sleep since I have been awake for long hours, thinking about the relationship I have with my professor and if my friends will approve this kind of set-up. Not that I will tell them everything, but knowing that he is a Professor, those people may freak out, I am certain. With my half-closed eyes, I remove the sheet down and saw a woman probably on her thirties, smiling while looking at me. “Miss Dionne, Mister Damian is calling for you downstairs already. He said that you will be leaving in a few minutes—“ “What?!” It seems like the woman was taken aback when I shouted while I hurriedly stands up from the bed. I look around, checking if where my phone is until I found it under the sheets and saw what time it is now. “Freaking six twenty-eight! Is your boss out of his mind?!” I screamed. The woman seems sur
"For the love of God, Laurier! Slow down!"I laugh hard while turning the steering wheel comfortably as I step on the gas. We left their house after so many push and pulls we made with him and I don't know how we make him agreed to ride on this car and I just could not find any reason why he won't ride this."Ah, I miss crashing the road." I mumbled before putting my left arm on the window's side before leaning my head on it."The road is not your playground, you freaks." He muttered while pursing his lips altogether, looking outside while speaking.I chuckled. "I heard that line a many times now and it's kinda overused to me now."He hissed. "Could you slow down at least?"I smiled once again before stepping on the gas more the next cuss made by Mister Dawson made me laugh harder."I swear, if only I have my camera with me, I will surely record every piece of you, screaming your as$ out in here as if you are not that cold Pro
