All Chapters of My Badboy Knight: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

DIANEOur food finally arrives, and we dig in, Crystal and I still discussing more about the competition. We talk at length, and finally, we decide to start our brainstorming next week after our classes.I am really glad that we are doing this together.After we finish our meals, Crystal and I try to pay the bills for our food, but Dante beats us to it.“Showoff.” Crystal scoffs at him, putting her card back into her purse.Dante chuckles. “I love it.”“Thank you.” I say to him, laughing as I return my own card back into my bag.“You're welcome.” he replies before turning to Crystal, who is staring at him like she could render him penniless with her eyes.Well, she obviously can't.After paying, we leave the diner and walk over to where Dante’s car is parked outside. The sky is nearly dark now, and the night air is a little bit cold to my skin.I bring out my phone to check for the time, and after taking a quick glance at the screen, I see that it is 6:57pm.Leo flashes through my min

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

‘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

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

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
