Charles glared at her so hard. Stella felt very uncomfortable, she went by his bed and sat by the bed caressing his hairy legs, her hands creeping up to his knickers. He held her hands so tightly she groaned in pain
"Let me go!!" she screamed
"Let me go!" she added but he didn't loosen his grip.
"Charles!" she screamed almost crying
"The next time i see you here ill end you" he said dispassionately, he left her hand. She stood up but she didn't leave. Charles watched her, while she just looked at him.
"Lily will never fall for you" she picked up her bag and ran out for fear of being killed by the already angry Charles. He just watched her run like a prey from a predator, he sighed and went back to sleep.
The next day he went to class,
"Hi Charles"
"Oh Betty"
"Anything wrong?!"
"No not really"
"You sure?!"
"Yes am very sure"
"Ok well....i was wondering why you didn't come to see lily yesterday"
"Oh i was tired"
"oh" Betty replied
"Betty...
"....
"Can i ask you something?!" he asked
"Yes go on....." she asked seeming worried
"Does lily like me....i mean....how does she see me?"
"Oh....well....she sees
you as a friend"
"Oh okay
"Any problem?!
"No
"Ok..." she turned to go
"But...just give her time okay?"
He nodded and she left him alone
"How much time?!" he thought to himself.
He walked out of the lecture hall. He saw Ashley approach him she was dressed in a short black mini skirt with a crop top. She packed her long black hair behind her in a knot, she walked so gracefully that all the boys couldn't help but take a second stare at her. Charles just stood rooted waiting for her to approach him, but she just walked past him. He sighed and went to see lily.
He got to her room and knocked on her door but he got no response. He knocked harder but still no response.
He walked out with a hint of sadness on his face. He walked home but decided to head to lily's favorite spot. He spotted her from his spot but before he could get closer he saw a group of boys approach her. They grabbed her and wanted to slap her but Charles grabbed the boy by the collar.
The other boys had wanted to attack but when they saw Charles they froze. Charles held the boy so tight, the boy almost lost breath. They all watched him as he threw the boy on the floor. They couldn't attack him because he was above them, they helped their friend get up and left hurriedly. Charles watched them leave in a hurry, he knew they wouldn't dare to do any thing to him
"They were lucky!" he turned over to lily
"Are you okay?!"
she nodded
He searched her body for wounds but didn't see any and he calmed down.
"Let me walk you home"
"No"
"....."
"I want to stay here a little longer"
He gaped at her
"She should be scared about what just happened" he thought to himself
"Lily!" he smiled to himself
"Aren't you scared?"
"No I'm not" she replied boldly.
He nodded as he sat with her.
After a long silence
"What do you like most about here?"
"The calmness"
"Really?!"
"Mm"
"I love the breeze"
Charles smiled within himself.
"Me too"
She glanced at him for a while, and he turned to look at him. They both gazed at each other for a long time.
