Before, I'd had a huge rollercoaster when it came to school. From homeschooling to going to a real one then more back and forth.
I'd tried at junior high, it failed so back home then senior high. Nana talking about pampering me is one way to put it.
My parents and her had dropped off then left. That day, I'd wanted nothing more than to go back until I saw him. I've had petty crushes but not one that got me thanking the heavens for school. First thing in my head was MINE...he was mine, I was his whether he liked it or not. Good thing he looked enamoured.
Thank you parents for my good looks. I looked at the state I was in and internally cursed. If I'd known this was going to be my roommate, would I have looked so pathetic...Crying and all?
It's true I have never made a bed before, thanks nana and all the staff back home. In fact it was all her fault that I look like a fluffy thing now.
This color suits you best, you look good fluffed up...those shoes are perfect. Don't worry, if anyone bullies you for looking this good, just tell nana...well pampered right?
All lies!!!
Mom and nana apparently had a problem letting me go...me ten. But right now, I don't want to go anywhere. The bare walls look really cool...the bed is just right...but why don't I try sleeping in his? His arms look warmer than the heavy blankets draped over me. Perfect, I love being nestled here.
Next morning, he didn't talk about it. Does it mean he doesn't mind? Good! Because I swear I had the best of dreams last night.
Typical of some courses...more of one sex and less of the other but they are all cool. Very talkative ready to be sisters and brothers together...I don't mind. I have two friends or acquaintances already, Nicole and Taffettah. I recall running that name several times and thinking it was cool when he'd introduced himself.
He's great, quite knowledgeable...ready to help but I realized he's sometimes too blunt... that's good. I like those kinds of people...my kind of party animal. When close, they treat you like you mean a huge lot, when enemies, they don't really care...
My type of animal.
Nicole is the shy type. The less people around, the more explosive she gets. Which is cool, she's open to us which makes us a team.
Before he talked about his departure, I'd noticed the long calls...him looking exasperated. I knew something was wrong but he never told me anything but why now? We'd only known each other for a week. Him asking his close friend to check on me was great right? I am guessing it was to show the close friend that I was supposed to be more important right?
Saturday was supposed to be cheat day, snuggle more into that warmth and test boundaries. It had turned into departure day for him and a Damn it! No! for me. He woke up early...I had to as well because we'll, my bolster was gone. He got ready while trying to get me back to sleep then realized he couldn't so he let it be.
The suit looks damned good...why is he going out in one? I reach over to take off his tie...then the suit jacket.
"What's wrong?"
"You look too tempting."
I shouldn't have but I just had to blurt it out. I turn to look away but then realize even with the shirt alone...he looks good even in the plain uniform, when we change our uniforms, I'll make sure he never gets close to formal wear.
"I have a meeting in five hours. That's directly after I land. Don't be stubborn okay!"
Fine! I guess those ones were used to seeing him in formal wear. I'll deal with it once he becomes formally mine. I think it could also be me sleep thinking if that's a thing. I want to get a hickey on him or something to show ownership. Is that even allowed? I'd tried last night but he woke up each time I moved that I got to sleep without the plan gaining fruits.
Should I ask him? But that could lead to questions...wait, then he'd be late for the plane and in turn not go...but then I could get into a naughty list...humph!
"Not going with clothes?"
"I have a place there with all necessities."
Huh! Did this mean I could follow him then? No Blane, take your time. He's still studying which means he'll come back. Let's just hope he's not like that friend of theirs Rashid who flirts around. He was a good guard but that had been a big problem in the beginning.
Warm...I don't want to let go.
"Don't think too much, eat on time and sleep. If there's anything call me, okay?"
"Call me as well."
"I will. Every single night and when I know you're free I'll call you."
And he should keep his promise or else...
My forming pout vanished the moment I felt lips on my forehead then the door was opening and he was gone...damn this man.
Monster... handsome monster.
He left me flustered and he's gone... come back and take responsibility. My jelly legs, my beating heart, my squealing, the way I was jumping onto the bed and rolling over to cover my beet face.
Good thing no one was around to see or else this would've been my social death.
