Jason sat beside her and poured himself some milk
"where is mom?"he asked
"sleeping"thana replied shortly
"And dad?"
"left for work"
"okay. That reminds me, you said you have a job right?"
"yes"
"don't you go to school anymore?"
"of course I do .I made a deal with dad"
"what kind of deal?"
"sigh.....you sure ask a lot of questions. I was having pretty bad grades in school ,I am not really good with the whole school thing so I decided to quite and go into fashion instead"
"you quit?but you just said you are still in school"
"I am homeschooled. I really love designing and fashion, so I convinced dad to spend less money on my schooling and get me homeschooled instead. he also helped me with some money to start and I was lucky to start my career while I promised to do well in the business but I will have to sponsor everything with my own money . And also try my best in my classes
"I see. since it's what you want and you are happy ,then it's okay. Am sure you will be great in everything you do"
"Thanks for your support "she replied smiling
"Are you by any chance going to work today?
"No, I have classes later in the day. why do you ask?
"I need your help. I want to know where I can find Celina.....apart from her home "
"Her university. I know the location and I even know when she will be done with her lessons "
"Have you been stalking her?"he frowned a bit
"As if!!! , I just know someone who also attends the same university and happens to be studying the same course as her,so I have seen her more than twice and know when they are usually out"
"okay. can you take me there?"
"sure. she normally goes back home around 1pm"
"thank you"
"don't mention "
...
few hours later....
Jason and thena sat in a car looking at the University, waiting for Celina to walk out. Jason became a little tense he nervously twirled the little ring on his finger. His hands trembled a little as he stared ahead
"Try to relax ,jay"thena tried to calm him down
"I am relaxed"
"yeah sure. you look really relaxed"thena said sarcastically rolling her eyes
"Am just .....nervous. what should I say?or do?do you think she would feel the same way ?"
"I don't know,you should probably ask her yourself, she is out"
Jason turned around and saw Celina standing at the entrance. she wore a tightly fitted white knee dress which hugged her body showcasing her beautiful figure. Her wavy brown hair cascaded down to her waist and decorated with little golden pins at the side. she didn't have any makeup on, she dressed simply but still looked elegant . Jason couldn't move his eyes away from her, he just froze on point
"Are you just going to stare at her like that?"Thena asked when he didn't move
"she looks beautiful"
"go tell her then"
Jason then opened the car and strode towards her. Every step he took ,his heart beat accelerated more. he could feel his palm get sweaty as his hands continued to tremble. finally he reached her, and tapped her shoulders ,it was like he had suddenly lost his voice. Celina turned around and stared at him for a long time before she finally spoke
"can I help you,mister?
