Chapter sixteen
He fought the urge to stop and look in the mirror so he could discourage himself from probably a confidence kill, but he was a man of his word and he told Dr. Bills he would try it out first before deciding if he wanted to go on with it.
He took the car he would call simple, A flying spur range hybrid Bentley, with black on cream interior, it was a find blend between classy and luxurious and it was one his top favorites.
He got to the school and finished signing all the necessary documents before walking to his first class, a small distance from the administrative block.
The right side of his face was what they saw when he'd entered but when he turned for the introductions and they saw his full face he almost packed his stuff and went back to his dark paradise when someone gasped, but he would say it ended well since no one threw up or ran out screaming like a banshee, it would probably end well, was his last thought before he stated speaking.
They were accommodating and he felt he could say it had gone remotely okay and he wasn't planning on running for the hills.
He ended the class about an hour and the half later, it was interactive and he had to admit college students weren't as bad as he had originally thought.
He walked out of the class when he heard a voice, a very familiar voice that left him frozen in shock.
CATHERINE /CATHY
"I am so sorry I wasn't looking," I mutter feeling embarrassed.
Adrian smiled, a barely there smile I fell in love with instantly.
"It's not a problem, here let me help you," He steadied me with his hand on my waist and I think I melted.
My body stiffened scared I would literally melt in his arms.
"Are you okay?" I nod unable to speak. Better to save myself from anymore embarrassments, heavens know I would stutter if I dared open my mouth.
"Great, where are you headed?" I stare at him dumbfounded with wide eyes, I'm sure I looked dumb when I saw the amused look in his eyes I willed the ground to swallow me, of course it did not give me that escape.
I force myself to regain my composure before pointing at the door that led to the lawn, there were a few chairs there and I particularly loved one which had a tree over it.
"Do you mind if I come with?"
He did not just ask that!!!! I'M SCREAMING PEOPLE!!!!!
That's how my heart was beating and my mind was whirling but I looked normal on the outside, at least I hoped. His hand on my waist was doing things to my insides, yes! His hands are still on my waist.
"I don't want to intrude if you're meeting someone," I quickly shake my head no, what plans? Even if I do have plans which I totally do not have, I would've cancelled them either way.
He stepped back and released me much to my dismay, like boy touch me again, I love the feel of your hands on my body.
You love the feel of that man's hands on your body too, I roll my yes mentally at my bitter subconscious. Just when I'd thought I was no longer going to think of that man she had to remind me.
I shove that thought away and let Adrian lead me to the lawn, while feeling like a duchess all along, off in the night with her lover to go do scandalous things.
Yeah I have totally not been reading historical fiction.
He takes my backpack off my shoulder and I think I literally swooned, we were right at my favourite bench. How can I not love this guy,? It's like he knows exactly what I want, my poor heart, be still.
We start talking about light topics, I mean it's really amazing how he is so cool and there was no awkwardness when we talk or anything.
I find out he likes anime just like me and we argued a bit about which is the best, gintama or one piece, I said one piece but he chose the former.
"You know what, let's just agree to disagree because I still stand my ground." I laugh at that before I nodded in agreement.
I hope I've not been laughing like a homeless goat because he is so funny, he's just my dream come true.
"I see you around a lot," Me mentally dancing at the fact that he has noticed me before, I only smiled and told him I've seen him around too.
"If had known you were this amazing, I would've bumped into you myself," That made me giggle. Out loud.
Yes giggle, a whole me is giggling, holy flying cows what has he done to me?
"I didn't know you were this cool too, you're always so quiet." I tell him, playing with the ends of my t-shirt.
I'm so tempted to play with my hair but I fight it, temptation is bad. Temptation is what makes me imagine what that faceless man's lips will taste like against mine.
Oh, get out of my head. I push those thoughts out, living the dream with Adrian right now.
"Sometimes, the sound of people annoy me," I'm sure I look like a lovestruck fool with the way I'm staring at him probably with hearts in my eyes.
"I totally understand you,"
"Hmm, I guess you do. We'll make great friends I'm sure." I nod my agreement, reveling in the suggestive tone he used, maybe it was just me but the way he said it sounded like he wanted more.
Okay, I'm over thinking this now.
"We should go get lunch, I know this cafe close by, they have really awesome burgers." We both stand and start walking towards the door when I bumped into someone again.
