Tuesday
It's been three days since that incident happened. Chelsca made a gradual step toward the East building, entering the door with anticipation.
Today is Tuesday. She has a class with the Senior Engineering, which means, she will going to see Lewey.
With a racing beats inside her chest, her mind jumping to the left and the right.
What expression she must give to Lewey once their eyes meet? What behavior she should act around Lewey?
He definitely mistook about what relationship she and Jino has. But she doesn't need to explain things toward him. He is not her real boyfriend and most of all, it is not her obligation or responsibility to save him from his problems. Moreover, to follow whatever he says. Who is he to order her around?
He is an ass bothering her a lot about the dinner with his family this coming Saturday.
She has her problem and that is to get out of her upcoming engagement with Albert. She can't believe that her aunt Claire still believing this kind of set up.
Arrange marriage in this generation is lame. But once the word Aristocrat is her to choose the best husband to level their status, the qualities then began lying on the table.
She sighed. How she can protest about her aunt's crazy idea? Besides, she knows that Albert has a secret affair with someone. But she also wonders why Albert hid it and seems like agreed to the arranged marriage.
"You're not looking again, " said of a deep masculine voice near her ear.
Her eyes widen. Bruce Collins! Why he is almost hugging her? Bruce standing behind her, holding both of her shoulders and he was too close to her.
Chelsca looked up at Bruce as she is confused. He is chuckling upon peering at her puzzled expression.
"Please, don't injure yourself," he said then pull her a little before he let go of her shoulders.
Confused, she looks at where she is heading to and then she realized, she is about to fall at the stairs going down the other exit door. She turned around, with flushing cheeks she stares at Bruce smiling eyes.
"I--"
"It seems like, you were always on deep thoughts every time I saw you," he commented.
"Huh?"
"You don't even notice or feel when I followed you."
"Followed me? Why?"
Bruce laughed sexily. "Let's say like this... I have a hunch that you are not paying attention to your steps, so I decided to follow you and I am correct."
Surprised she was. That's embarrassing! It seems like, she is lowering her guard down. Not so like her!
"Now I began to have the feeling of I should watch you here and then..."
"Why you'd do that?" she's looking at him with big eyes. Completely confused.
"Go now to your class. It's about to start." Bruce reminded her with a wide smile on his face.
Oh shit! She makes hasty steps when remembered something. She turned around and did a quick bow at Bruce. "Thank you!" she said, then hurriedly, she runs the hallway.
It is not because she will go to be late but because Bruce is damn handsome. He and Lewey are a little resemble to each other.
Wait a minute, why that guy sink into her mind? Chelsca shook her head. She's now approaching the door when she bumped into someone who also reaches for the knob of the Audio Hall door.
Lewey! Her mind screams. What she should do? Her mind was in chaos. But Lewey gives her a cold shoulder, ignored her and left her outside. She just watches his back that swallowed by the door.
Her mouth dropped on the floor while watching the door shuts loudly on her face.
'What an arrogant guy! How ungentlemanly!' she screams inside her head.
This is the reason why he is not attractive to her. He is rude! There's no way she would like him!
She steps inside the room. She watches Lewey climbing the steps and sit to his usual perch, and that's above hers.
She sighed. The bad news is, she has to endure this tension between them which, to begin with, there is nothing about them.
So why they have a misunderstanding? Isn't funny?
