DIANEHe stops typing on his laptop as he turns to me. “Why?”“There is this upcoming annual game project event that my department hosts every year for freshmen students, and it is happening again this year. I am going to participate in it with Crystal, and we need someone experienced who can guide us and maybe give us a few important tips and advice. Someone like Jen. Do you think she can help us?”“Of course she can, although she is quite busy nowadays. But I can still help you guys schedule a brief meeting with her. You guys can then take things up from there.”“That won't be a problem. Thank you so much.” I say, relaxing my shoulders.“You're welcome.” He goes back to his busy mode again.Leo was not lying when he said that Jen has been very busy recently, because I have also been seeing her recent works on Instagram, and damn, there are tons of them.Beautiful, amazing tons of them.She has my contact number, but obviously, she has not reached out to me, possibly because she has
My Badboy Knight 52. Creepy And Fake.
DIANE Today is Monday, and school is over. Right now, I am with Crystal at her new workspace in her room, discussing different concepts we can adapt to the game's theme. I also inform her of my request to Leo about us meeting up with Jen to solicit for her help and advice, and she happily agrees. We spend nearly two hours drafting and scribbling down so many sketches and messy design flowcharts, but it was worth it, because by the end of our crazy two hour session, we already have a lead on what we can present to Jen if she ever requests for what we have come up with so far. After spending some more time munching Crystal's Royal Dansk Cookies and watching an episode of Blue Eye Samurai on her laptop, I decide to call it an evening well spent. I pack up my stuff, and Crystal escorts me out of the house. She stays with me until the ride I booked arrives, and we wish ourselves a lovely night before I enter the car. A couple seconds later, the car sets into motion, taking me home, and
My Badboy Knight 53. Can I Come In?
DIANEWhen I finish talking, I point to the door bell to show her where it is, not giving a fuck that her eyes are now widened and staring at me like I have suddenly grown two heads.She obviously knows where the bell is. I am sure this is not her first, second, or her third time coming here to see Leo.“You aren't serious.” Her voice is thick with shock. “Come on. Don't you want to know if he is around?” I taunt. “Press the bell.”She hesitates for a moment, her eyes still glaring at me like they are possessed with some sort of superpowers to make me bend to her will. But I don't give a fuck. With the way she is even behaving, I am beginning to suspect that Leo does not even know that she is coming to see him. And that she is already here.She finally turns away from me and grudgingly presses the doorbell. After a short while of no response, she presses the door bell again, this time, twice. Her hand drops to her side as she waits, and I notice her shifting her body weight from one
My Badboy Knight 54. I Can't Breathe.
‘You don't have to say you love meI just wanna tell you somethin'Lately, you've been on my mind’ — Adore You By Harry Styles.LEOMy heart feels like it is trying to hammer its way out of my chest.I pause in my advance towards her, still not hearing her say anything to me. I need a word. Just one word. Even if her response will be non verbal, like just a nod, or the shake of her head, I will take it. I will accept it wholeheartedly, because right now, all I want to do is to show her that whatever assumptions she may have about me and Madison still hooking up are all wrong.She is still hesitating, but when I dare another step forward, showing her how badly I need her to hear me out, she senses my desperation and finally gives me permission, stepping aside.“Thank you.” I murmur, walking past her and entering inside her room. The familiar scent of her cozy abode wraps around me instantly, just like the first time I entered her room. The scent of black orchids and roses and so
My Badboy Knight 55. Reach Out.
DIANE I am so happy right now. So happy that I only realize how tight I am squeezing Leo in my arms when I hear him take in a muffled breath, his hands also wrapping around me. Oh shit– “I'm sorry.” I unlock my arms instantly and step away from him, feeling a flush of hot embarrassment spreading all over my face. A flush of hot embarrassment that has me dropping my gaze to the floor. “There's no need to apologize,” Leo chuckles lightly, and I gasp when his fingers gently lift up my chin, making me look at him again. Every inch of me suddenly feels paralyzed by his touch. His eyes are digging into mine, and there is amusement shining in them. But something else is in them too. Something else that feels so intense and suddenly so addictive that it is making me dream of never pulling away from him. My heart is thumping wildly inside my chest, and a feeling I have always sworn time and time again not to resurface is now clawing at my insides, begging me to be free. But I can't risk
My Badboy Knight 56. She Is Here.
DIANE “Mrs Jones, where are the new arrivals?” “Check the second shelf dear.” About half an hour after our meeting with Jen back at the cafe, Crystal and I parted ways, and I took a cab, heading straight home. Wait, let me rephrase that: I had wanted to head straight home, but just at the nick of time, I decided to make just one tiny stop at Mrs Jones' bookstore to check out the new arrivals I saw pasted on the mini billboard displayed right outside her fantastic store. And thank God I did. I promise I won't stack up so many books. I might just buy maybe one or two. But on second thought, it won't be such a bad idea to stack up so many books. It’s not like it's going to hurt anyone, and besides, I am still going to try my best to read all of them, and more. Following Mrs Jones’ answer to my question, I take a quick right and walk towards the second shelf, my hand adjusting my bag about to slip off my shoulder. I finally arrive, and to my greatest pleasure, it does not take me lo
My Badboy Knight 57. Storybooks.
DIANE Kate Brandon follows me behind as I walk towards the checkout carrying the basket containing the books I want to purchase. Mrs Jones is leaning on her checkout desk, her eyes and fingers busy on her tablet with whatever that is holding all her attention to the screen. Whatever that is, I am too selfish right now to care or know. I am dying to pay for these books and get out of here. To be in any place that is void of my mother's presence. The scent of her Fenty is killing my wish to be away from her, and the more I get closer to the desk, the more my throat feels parched. Scorched. I am stuck with her. When I finally arrive in front of the desk, I tap on it a couple times to get Mrs Jones’ attention. She looks up from her tablet, adjusting her small eyeglasses on the bridge of her nose as she shifts her attention from me to my mother, and then right back to me. I keep the small basket down on the desk. “Mrs Jones, I am done shopping. I want to pay for—” “Allow me darling.”
My Badboy Knight 58. Ice Queen.
DIANE My question hangs in the air, intermixing with the soft jazz music playing from the car's radio.I miss Leo…..“You will find out, darling.” Her voice pokes into my head, bringing back my focus and dragging me out from that tiny moment of relief.Her eyes are still glued to her phone even after she is done speaking, and I have never hated the unexpectancy of the universe the way I do right now. Why the fuck did its forces bring her to me now? How the hell did she even find me? Did dad tell her? But if he did, I know he would have asked me first if I wanted him to tell her about my whereabouts or not.Gosh. This entire thing is so fucked up.I know and I perfectly understand that Kate Brandon is my mother, and that I really miss her sometimes, but now that I am in this car with her, breathing in her scent and her nonchalant insolence, I don't think I am ready, really ready to face her now. To even talk or discuss anything with her.I am not. I am scared I will lash out hateful
