Chapter 7 - Lynn E3 P3: "Give him some time"

Same day, 4:36pm

I wake up, my hair messed up, my eyes weak as ever, also my body. I stood up, stretched and went exited my bedroom.

I go to the living room to see Iane on the couch reading a book.

"Hey," he said, "Good morning."

"Mhm." in a low voice, I said.

I lay down next to him, my head on his lap, my body laying on the couch.

Iane gently brushes my hair with his right hand while his left is holding a book... I took a peek at it's cover, it's named "What if it's-"

He quickly closes the book and throws it behind the couch.

My face was confused, but both of us laughed.

"What were you reading?" I asked.

"Some old book I saw at the closet."

"Mhm." I nod.

Then there was silent.

I suddenly ask. "How much do you know Kent?"

"Hmm, probably about 90% I guess?"

"How so?" I ask

"Well, for example, I know for a fact that you two first dated at a French restaurant in town and you wanted to try those raw snails, so you ordered them then you-" I placed my finger on Iane' mouth, which cuts him off.

"Nuff said." I said.

Both of us laughed.

Then I asked.

"Do you know if Kent and Chloe are meeting up?"

He was silent.

"Why are you asking me?" He counters my question.

"Because you just said you know him 90%." I said.

He was silent again.

"Iane?" I ask.

"Honestly," Iane paused. "I don't know."

I stare at him.

"Seriously, I don't fucking know! I swear!" he does a cross on his chest, as if he's honest about what he said.

I nod.

...

"May I ask why you were wondering about that?" Iane asks.

"... I saw a missed call from Chloe on Kent's phone." I answered honestly.

"Oh." He looks at me, then at the wall.

Silence.

"It's probably just nothing in particular. I've never seen them together before.... So."

I feel relieved.

"Who knows." He says, as he strokes my hair.

Wait.

Where is Kent?

It's almost 5pm and he's still isn't here.

"Wait, where are they?" I ask.

"They said they were gonna smoke for a while somewhere out there."

What.

Iane realizes what he'd said.

"He smokes?! Where are they know? When did they leave?" I asked, panicking.

"Probably about 2 hours ago-"

I quickly stood up, grabbed my phone and started calling Kent.

Ringing...

No pick up.

I called again.

Ringing...

Still nothing.

Iane stood up next to me.

"Don't worry, they're probably just there somewhere smoking by the beach or whatever." he says, "give him some time, I mean, you guys just fought so..."

He was right.

I layed back down on the couch, Iane sits right next to me.

"Just give him some time, okay?" He says as he rubs my back.

"okay."
