"Since you would be having an extra shift today, I decided to make you something" I tried to lighten the mood as I placed the lunch box on the table and shifted it towards him, he stared at it before his grey eyes went up to meet mine and his lips curved into a teasing smile and his gaze averted to my hands, I consciously hid them behind my back, away from his sight.
"You hurt yourself trying to make this, didn't you?" He inquired and I chuckled nervously.
"It's nothing serious, nothing to worry about" I quickly opened the lunch box and grinned widely, proud that I did some out but Sean wasn't staring at the food, he was gazing at my fingers that had blisters from burnt. I watched as he stood up from his seat and walked around the table to my side, he grabbed my hand and I flinch at the pinch that shot through me.
"It's fine," I said, trying to draw back my hand but he held it firm and grabbed me over to his chair, he sa
My elbow was mashed against the window as the car moved on the road, while the back of my fingers was clasped against my lips, relinquished in my thoughts. I embezzled a side glance at the driver of the car. His gaze was welded on the road, his hands moving on the wheels and his expression was barren, something similar to what I always see on Sean but less concrete.I was succumbing in anticipation and I could tell Jarvis was not any better, we both loathed being clueless about a situation and Gabriel had chosen to do just that since he picked us up from the University, we had been on the road for more than thirty minutes and every second that ratified by felt like it was squirming and felt like misery and I couldn't wait to get out of it.Another minute went by and only the breathings of three men could be felt in the car, the anxiety fixed, thickening the air around us, it was starting to feel rather suffocating and I was getting depleted
I ignored the intense gaze Sean was giving me as I wrapped his knuckles with a bandage and dried his hair with a towel. It had been more than an hour since we came back and I made him take a shower and sat him down on the toilet and cleaned his injuries without saying a word while he continued to gawk down at me and finally, he spoke."You are mad at me"Was I mad?Oh yes, I was mad but it wasn't enough to suppress the sadness I felt in my chest, knowing I would have lost him if we had arrived later."No" I answered, putting the towel away as I finished drying his wet hair. I wheeled to leave the bathroom but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back and I ended up falling on his lap and his hands circled my waist, holding and trapping me in place."Am sorry""Am disappointed Sean" I spoke. How could he do that? Lyndon nearly died, as much as the guy was a
«One Year Later»"Fellow classmates, today's an important day in all of our lives. We are gathered here to celebrate more than a decade of yearning, learning, we are shrouded by the people who taught and inspired us throughout our lives, parents, family members, and teachers..."Suddenly, he stopped skimming and looked up at me and I raised an eyebrow."Why the fuck do I have to do this?" Jarvis grunted and he pushed the notebook away from him to my side and rested his body back with a garish tiff and crossed his arms over his chest."I thought you were happy, we are finishing man, I can't wait to get out of this shithole" I grinned, picking up the book."We still have a month to do this shit, why do we have to start preparing now. I could do this the day before graduation"I eyed him. "you seem grumpy today, did Levi not fuck
"You gave him your address?!" I squealed in anger for the nth time since I entered the apartment and my boyfriend delivered the outrageous notification.Sean looked from his papers and stared at me through his glasses. He shrugged at my outburst. "He's a good kid"I placed my hands on my hips. "A good kid that has a crush on you"He shrugged again. "It's just an infatuation, it doesn't mean anything" he went back to reading his papers, leaving me fussing and his relaxed temperament was not helping me! Then he looked up at me and smirked teasingly. "Don't tell me you're jealous?"I scoffed. "I have nothing to be jealous of""Then you should have no dilemma with Dean showing up this weekend, I was intending on taking him out for dinner"Oh, he was exercising me, trying to wake up a sleeping dog and he did. "WHAT!?" I exploded."Is it not en
"You've got to be kidding me!" I shrieked.If I ever slated on giving Dean a chance before, forget I ever asserted anything because that wasn't happening anymore."Hey!" I called out as I matched over to them, I didn't care for the bizarre glimpses I amassed around the diminutive coffee shop. I walked over to their table, a bit close to the wall.Dean lolled his head in my direction and he put on an ample grin. "Seems like three of us keeps running into each other, such simultaneousness, eh" he placed his elbow on the table and rested his knuckles against his jaw. My gaze voyaged over to Sean who had his leg crossed over the other, he gleamed at me.He freaking smiled!The temerity!"What are you two doing here?" I tried to keep up my best smile before I officially lose it. I had forgotten the fact that I entered the coffee shop with my group of friends
With one last shove of the spoon into my mouth, I was done eating. I stood up with my bowl and went towards the sink, ignoring the other person's eyes that followed me around as I washed my bowl and put it away and without saying a word to Sean, I headed out from the kitchen and walked up the stairs that led to that bedroom, not failing to hear the sigh that left his lips.Sean knew he had gone too far this time because I was damn mad that he let Dean stay though it wasn't completely his fault as it turned out Dean and Sean had gotten wet under a little rain and Sean was kind enough to help the kid and the brat went through Sean's closet and worn my brand new shirt, the nerve of that kid. But then again, I was still mad at Sean and he knew it.Slamming the door shut, I went over to the bathroom and took a shower, I discard my clothes and put on one of Sean's oversized sweatshirts and a pair of boxers. Truth be told, I was a huge fan of Sean'
«JARVIS POINT OF VIEW» "It's nice to have both of you frequent at an equivalent time" Mom beamed as she placed bowls of different food on the dining table where we all crouched together. Dad was sitting at the edge as usual, Levi was sitting on the opposite of me, his attention was fused to his glimmering handset, little smiles on his face as his thumb moved fastly on the screen, he seemed to be texting. I found myself stretching my neck, trying to see what he was doing but he seemed to catch on with what I was trying to do as he lifted his head and our gazes met, I stared directly into his brown eyes, staring questioningly at me. "What?" He lifted his shoulders and I shook my head before looking away and stared down at my empty plate instead, biting my bottom lip while trying to calm the hammering feeling beneath my chest also feeling his gaze on me before it moved away and I didn't bother glancing at him anymore. He wasn't cheati
«JARVIS POINT OF VIEW»"AHHH!"The loud scream was what jerked me awake from my deep stumbler as I sit upright, the sheets falling to my lower body but my vision was a complete mess. "What?" I messily asked, trying to see through my vision but it was impossible."Ahh!"The scream came again and this time, it slapped me into reality as my vision instantly cleared and I found Mom staring with her hands clapped over her mouth and her eyes widened as if they wanted to pull up from their sockets and a second later, Dad appeared through the door but stopped abruptly at the scene he saw, his mouth falling open as well and again, I was hammered back to reality as I immediately reeled my head to the other side of the bed to find Levi still fast asleep, unaware of the chaos that was happening in the real world.And again, Mom screamed, this time louder and Levi instantly
