Dylan's pov
She ran off leaving me as confused as ever.
I told no one I was meeting Lillian, it was even In the evening. Is she really stalking me? I thought to myself.
I left the school and entered my car. While driving, I couldn't think straight still wondering how she saw us. I packed my car at a corner and decided to ease my mind a little. Later on, I went shopping for some little groceries.
Getting back to my car, I saw Nora passing and that made me more curious than ever, I trailed behind her and stopped when I saw her entering the 5-star restaurant. I watched from my car. Perhaps she is hungry!.
After minutes, I saw her dressed in a white shirt and black skirt and that's when it occurred to me that she was a waitress there.
Dang, it! That's how she saw me. I muttered
Entering the restaurant, I sat down, A lady approached me beaming with smiles. How may I help you, sir?
"I...em...I want a latte." I ordered
"Ok, sir." She replied
"But...em... I would like to speak with that lady there." I said pointing at Nora at the counter.
"Oh! It's not really allowed but I'll tell her." She smiled and winked at me.
"Thanks."
Nora came over with a latte, I'm sure she's wondering who wants to speak to her.
"Hi, mister!" She said smiling, I raised my head and her smile ceased.
Her eyes widened and she couldn't talk. She sat down and asked in a low voice
"What are you doing here Dylan?"
"I came to see you emm not see you, I mean order a latte." Dang, it! I muttered
She gasped, placing her palms on her face.
"So you caught me, I work here as a waitress and I don't want anyone to know despite knowing fully well, people will soon find out." She mumbled looking quite sad.
"I mean no harm, I only want us to be friends." I said.
"Ok" she smiled, bringing out her pinky finger
"What?" I chuckled
"Bring out your pinky finger!" She ordered
"Yes miss" laughing I brought out my pinky finger and she crossed hers with mine. Looking at me, she said
"Promise, friends?"
"Friends." I nodded
she let out a smile and released her finger.
"Take your latte, I...I will get going before ma'am start looking for me" she smiled and left.
I felt relieved and sipped my latte.
Nora's Pov
I slumped on the bed, being so tired I gasped. I remembered what happened today and gushed. I'm gradually losing It for him, I guess. I did the necessary things needed and went to sleep.
"Morning!" Stacy yelled as she opened the curtains. The light shown brightly into the room and I squinted my eyes.
"Come let's go and prepare breakfast. It's Saturday!" She said
"Oh, I forgot!" I sprang up from the bed and went to the kitchen dragging Stacy with me. It's our daily routine to prepare breakfast together every Saturday.
"So what are we going for?"
"Scrambled eggs and bread!" I yelled as my lips corner raised diagonally
"Then let's get cooking!" She replied. I got the condiments and pieces of equipment ready.
A few minutes later, we were done with the meal. we went to the dining table to take our meals together. I shoved down a chunk of the dish, mumbling with a mouthful of eggs "oh! This tastes great, I concur"
"Thanks to our culinary skills." Stacy muttered and we chuckled softly. The Rest of the day was used for other activities and we kind of enjoyed our weekend. Monday came by quickly and we attended to our daily routine and headed to school.
I got to my lecture hall and luckily the lecturer hasn't been in class. It didn't take up to 3 minutes when Mr Stephen entered the class and the lecture kicked off.
----------------
And that's all for today, prepare for tomorrow's quiz" Mr Stephen retorted and left the class.
I packed my bag and left for the cafeteria. Many students sat down busy with different items. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with juice and left for an empty table.
I was eating my food when someone sat opposite me with his hands supporting his jaw. I lifted my head to take a closer look and boom it was Jerk head Dylan. He kept staring at me and that made me uncomfortable.
"What?" I asked hoarsely and spat out some food particles. That sure was embarrassing. I swallowed hard and took in some juice.
He laughed, relaxing on the chair, crossing his legs. "Nothing! I'm trying to escape from someone." He smirked
"Someone?" I asked
"Yeah!" He said while he looked outside, obviously searching for someone. Standing up, he moved towards me and sat beside me. His gaze... on me.
"Now, what's with him? I turned my face towards him and our faces were a few inches away from each other. I remembered our first encounter.
"Dylan!" A girl called interrupting our gaze. She was wearing bum shorts with a crop top revealing her navel. She seemed angry while staring at us.
"Told you I wasn't free today," Dylan replied
"And who is she?" She pointed at me and her fancy nails almost got to my eyes.
"Emmm. Her!" His eyebrows pulled up together as turned to me. "She's uhm my girlfriend."
I coughed, he reached for my juice and handed it to me as I gulped quickly.
"Girlfriend?" She repeated with a dazed look of bewilderment.
"Yes." Immediately, He gently placed his lips on my cheeks, giving me a quick peck. He reached for my hand and stroked it softly. My eyes widened as I looked at my hand with his. I didn't talk. My heartbeat increased. If he came a little closer. I'm sure he would have heard my heartbeat.
"You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend." She asked angrily
"You didn't ask either." He smirked
The girl turned and left angrily. Slamming the restaurant door loudly.
Immediately, I released my hand from his. He heaved a breath and went to his former position.
"Now that's one show" he mumbled while his fingers moved freely on the screen of his phone.
"And what was that suppose to mean?"I asked with all curiosity.
"Nothing, I was trying to get away from Julian that's all." He said with his gaze still fixated on his phone
"By turning me into your girlfriend!" I half yelled
"I had to do something and when I saw you from outside. It settled everything. Anyways, Forget about everything that happened. We are still friends, right?"... he smiled broadly and left the restaurant.
"Gosh!" He takes everything for granted. How can I forget everything that happened? I touched my cheeks and a sensation ran through my body.
Jerk!
I continued with my meal.
