" Do I need to speak? Try falling in acquaintance with my silence." was all I could reply accompanying a cheeky wink.
I literally thought I was dreaming and at any minute I would be getting up for school. It took me the next three hours to realize that this was the truth. Asteria Brown was now with Carsten George. The feeling was so special and lovely. He intertwined his fingers with mine. My hand was way too small for him but somehow felt safe and secured. His tall frame made me feel tiny but I felt sheltered.
A few days later, it was our English class and the teacher was telling us about her own struggle or something. I don't really remember for I was busy weaving my own story with my prince. Everything was perfect about him. His eyes, his hair, his eyebrows, his jawline... literal perfection. I could have moved further with my imagination but was driven back from my thoughts when an unpleasant voice faded in.
Mrs Leeroy: Ms Brown!!! Ms Brown!!! Can you hear me?
me: Y-y-yeah Mrs Leeroy.
Mrs Leeroy: Oh thank god!!! I thought you died or something. Would you like to share your dream with us?
me: No just random thoughts.
Mrs Leeroy: Hmmm I don't think so. Yeah, I was telling you about group projects. Everyone has to submit a project and your partners are your own bench mates. Thank you, everyone. Now you may all go and have your lunch.
Oh my god!!! Group project with my bench partner. Yeah I mean my better half. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I quickly grabbed my lunch and headed towards Sofia as Naomi was out of station for she had some kind of competition. Suddenly I felt a large hand around my waist and it pulled me. I was startled at first but then I saw it was Carsten. He acts silly sometimes. He could have simply called out my name instead of giving me a semi-heart attack.
me: Woah!!! slow down, tiger. What is it?
C: Umm nothing important. Just wanted to ask if you are free after school?
me: Yes of course.
C: Done then. We will go to my house after school.
me: To your house!!! Yes, I would love to but what about this uniform?
C: Oh this...You can wear my t-shirt.
I could feel the heat rising my cheeks.
C: And well, we will probably be completing the project today, and nothing else. Don't be so happy. ( he smirked winking his eyes)
me: Ouch!!! ( I laughed)
The classes after lunch went way too slowly and were boring. I just wanted the classes to end so that I could go to Carsten's house. Ahh finally, the school was over. Every moment with him felt so special. When he is around, everything seems beautiful.
We were both alone on that long but beautiful lane. The dried leaves and small pebbles made soothing tunes to fill up the peaceful silence between us. The sky appeared in shades of red, orange, and yellow. It felt like a chilling flame covering the sky above us. The afternoon breeze somehow felt divine. I indeed saw these same things every day but as I said when I am with him every little thing gets beautiful.
C: Uhh you look beautiful.
me: Thanks but what made you say that now?
C: The rays of the afternoon sun make your brown orbs shine. Those eyes of yours feel like soulstones, reflecting my soul.
me: Wow, so poetic. ( I blushed)
C: Yeah thanks. Actually, I do love writing poems.
me: Oh, I would love to read some of your works. And this is special because no one has ever described me like this before.
C: I will show you when the perfect time comes. And yeah, about that description, it is not enough. In fact, your beauty can't be put into words. ( this time, he blushed)
me: Oh stop it. It's too much for me to handle. ( I giggled and shoved him with my elbow)
We reached his house. It was a big mansion with a fancy interior. There was no one except Carten and me. I kept my bag on the couch and went on a short tour. The house was beautiful especially his room.
C: Loving my room eh?
me: hmm not really. It's just not my type like its owner.
Carsten dramatically puts his hands on his heart as if he was having a heart attack.
me: Little melodramatic shit. ( I laughed)
C: Never mind. Oh. here. Take this shirt.
He handed me a black-red checked shirt and a boxer. I quickly grabbed them and went to his washroom to change. Actually, I didn't need his boxers because his shirt alone covered most of my thighs and I always used to wear black skinny shorts beneath my skirt. I came out of the washroom just to see Carsten naked with only boxers on.
me: Jesus!!! Carsten! Get a t-shirt on.
C: Oh sorry love, but I like to be comfortable in my house.
me: Really??
C: Yeah and you will soon get habituated with this.
I stared at him with squinted eyes and hands on my waist.
C: Okay, okay.
He quickly got his tank shirt on. Honestly, even I wanted him not to but it was all too fast for me. You know what I mean.
C: Hey love!! Wanna get some coffee?
me: Can you make it?
C: Oh come on. Of course, I can.
me: Cool. By the way, where is your mom?
C: She is a working woman and she will probably be late today.
me: Oh but I need to reach my home before 9.
C: That's okay. I will drop you.
me: You don't know how to ride a car and you don't have a driving license cause you are just 15. Do you?
C: Love, I have legs and they are meant to use for walking, I suppose.
me: Will you go that far only to drop me?
C: Anything for you love. ( he winked)
Man, I should really appreciate his coffee, It was too delicious and that evening was just amazing. We chatted, laughed, played, and even completed our project in just those few hours. It was almost 8:30 when I excused leaving for my house or else my mom would have really murdered me. I changed to my stinky uniform and we both left for my house. After reaching we gave a goodnight hug to each other.
It was really an amazing evening. I recalled all those moments which were probably memories by the time I was on my bed. I was ready to switch my phone off when I got a message from Sophia. I was almost about to drop my phone when I saw the texts...
