2024-10-29 19:42:56The next few days were a bit tough, though I can always call Klaud for help though he's been busy for an immersion. I did not deny that either because the next day, he came voluntarily.
It was then a fine lunch break, I mingled with Alforo's group, while Demi was noisy next to me. I did not immediately realize that Klaud was coming to our table. He's in a white long-sleeve and black slacks that made me watch him in awe.
I smiled at him as my eyes traced his tiny motion.
"Sorry for my absence guys!" he said
Alfred laughed as I glided my eyes up to Alforo who seemed to have lost his appetite as he watched Klaud's hand behind me. The traced of uneasiness with his stare obviously making it more foreign.
Demi shook her head. She turned to Alforo, who was staring at Klaud and me.
"Your immersion is over, Klaud?" Demi asked.
Klaud looked at me.
