Chereads / THE LAST MISSING PIECE / Chapter 27 - Chapter Twenty Six

Chapter 27 - Chapter Twenty Six

*PLAAAAASHHHH*

A loud sound of broken glass filled the room as I waited myself to be scarred when a hand focefully grab me away so I came back to my senses and feel the pain on my almost burnt hand.

"Arghh"...I groaned in pain and try touching my hand. "Don't"...he said stopping me from touching it. "It'll hurt"..he added.

Obediently following what he said, I pulled back my hand and let him handle my burnt hand.

"Where's the first aid kit?"...he asked and I pointed the direction of oir staff room. "Wait here and don't touch that"...he said before leaving so I remained seated and leaned my hand on the table. It's still hurting so I tried not to move it until he came back holding the first aid kit.

He sat down and gently grab my hand to put on a bandage.

While putting it, my hand still hurts so I kept giving him a sour face while he's circling the bandage on my hand.

After it's done, he rested my hand on the table again before putting the things he used back on the kit.

"Don't move it too much"....he said and stood up again, mayne to put back the first aid kit. But nefore he could go, I spoke.

"T...thank y..you"...I said and he turned to me. "Just don't stare at me while doing your work"...at this time he even had the nerve to tease me!

"No! I'm not staring at you, forget it I take it back"...I said before turning away. I headed to the mess I've made and wanted to clean it.

"Don't think about cleaning that mess or your both hands will end up getting bandaged too"...he shouted but I ignored him and cleaned it carefully.

By the time I am done cleaning I carefully put everything back to it's order, then I proceeded on the staff room to get changed because it is getting really late.

After that, I headed out and carry my bag with me. Just then I looked around and there's no sight of him there.

Tsk...Why would I even find him?

Learning that fact, I reached for the switch and turned off the lights in the cafe and closed the doors.

It's already 12 in the midnight so probably I have to walk again.

Taking steps on the streets feels quiet and it's more creepy but I calmed myself and stared back to my bandaged hand while walking.

I kept having flashback on what happened earlier. On how he came to rescue when he doesn't even see what exactly happened.

On how he grab me away from that falling cup that's about to reached my hand.

Thinking over that I let oit a sigh and feel the wind coming for me. It's such a vold weather, I should've brought my jacket with me.

"Feeling cold?"...I immediately stopped on my tracks when I heard hus voice. He always surprised the hell out of me.

"No"...I simply said.

"Haha, look at you lying when you actually are cold"...he said teasing me once again.

"I said, I'm not and why do you keep bothering me"...I asked but then no answer from him.

"Yeah you're right, just why would I bother a girl like you?"...he finally answered.

"Just go home and sleep will you"...I said and walk faster than him.

After that I didn't hear another word from him and continued walking.

Just then I noticed that I was right infront of my house. I looked back again and didn't see anyone or him.

"Perhaps he did go home"..I said to myself and opened the gate for me to enter.

Entering the house I switch on the light and laid my bag down the sofa.

It's too exhausting that my eyes would ball out.

Just when a thought came to my mind..

Oh No! No!

I didn't come at school today...:(

Aish why did I bother to agree with her.

Earlier Karen asked me stay in the cafe for her shift if that's ok. And the idiot me agreed without thinking about my night classes..Arghhh I should probably call Lesley.

Lesley

Ringing......

"Hello"

"Sarah!!!!!"...screaming like that I almost throw phone on the ground.

"Why are you screaming like that, Do you wish to broke my ears?"

"I'm so sorry, hehe..I'm on my way there, wait for me"

"What, It's already late and you're heading to my house, did your parents allowed you?"

"I'll tell you when I get there ok"

"Wha---"

Toot.toot.toot

There she goes again hunging up on me, cutting off what I'm going to say.

Waiting for her, I showered first and change into my pajamas.

Tomorrow is saturday and I'm going there. I haven't told Lesley yet but maybe I can brought it up later.

Drying my hair when suddenly my phone rings.

It's just a notification so I didn't bother to read it.

After that I heard the doorbell rings so probably Lesley was already here.

I opened the door and saw her with a luggage.

"Hey What's with the luggage?"...I asked surprised that she's bringing a suitcase.

"I'm going to live in with you"...she said while hardly carrying the suitcase so I walke near to help.

"Does auntie and uncle know?"...I said and let her in first.

"Ofcourse because they'd told me to live with you"...she explained while she laid on the couch comfortably.

"What?!"

"Aren't you happy?"..she aksed.

"No it's not like that, but why so sudden?"

"America"..she said.

"What's in America"...I asked

"They are on a business trip and Mom and Dad told me to live with you for a month beacause they don't want to leave me alone in that house, Our maids went home also so no one will be present in our house"....she explained. And I just nod at her.

It's not like she had not been here, so It's ok.

And that, I offered her food and she quickly noddedat me.

While we're eating she spoke first.

"Why didn't you come at school?"...she asked.

"I got in a situation"...I said.

"Did Karen asled you again?"..she knows.

"Yeah"

"And you agreed again?"...she said it like it's been too many times I've gotten in a situation like this.

"Hmm"

"Haha, poor you, you totally agreed with her when you know she only has tons of blind dates everyday"...she laughed.

Yeah I know, Karen is like that, then on another day she will go like her date did end up well and it seems like they're kind of in intimate stage but then one day, the guy would always dump him, she end up being played again.

"I am curious though, why did she keep on going to that blind dates knowing for a fact that a guy was only playing with her?"..Lesley curiously asked.

"Ask her"...I said nonchalant. And I crossed my arms showing off my bandaged hand. "Oh my god! What happened?!"...I knew it! I should've hid it.

"I got burnt"....I said.

"Tsk! How careless can you be?"...she said inspecting my wound.

"By the way, what's with the screaming?"...I asked.

"Guess what"....she said blushing.

"Just say it"

"We've got pair projects!"...she exclaimed.

"Then what?"

"Guess who my partner is!!!"..seriously.

"The Jerk?"...I asked and I recieved a hit from her on the shoulder.

"I told you not call him that"

"Tsk! Whatever"

"Whose mine?"...I asked.

"Crane"...she said..

Whose Crane, I've never heard the name of it IN MY CLASS.

But that name sounds familliar...

"Am I....Am I paired with Wayne's friend?"....I looked at Lesley.

To be continued....
