September 11th 2017, Monday.
(After a soothing sleep- God I missed my mattress.
I woke up to the sound that sounded like spoons fighting forks coming from the main room.
I rubbed my eyes and stood up.
As I opened the bedroom door, I saw N peacefully whisking)N: Oh hey! Good morning. (He said with a smile)
Nathan: Good Morning.. What's going on?
(He raised an eyebrow, acting like the answer to my question was painfully obvious)N: Baking some cookies! And..
I made Coffee-Chocolate Latte!
I NEEDED this after just eating plain noodles.
(I looked at him, completely bewildered)Nathan: When did you even wake up to do all this? (He looked at the clock to see it was 8:21 am.)
N: Oh- I woke up at seven I guess.
Nathan: N.. you didn't have to do all this.
We could have just eaten some cereal.N: Who said I'm doing this for y'all?
(He chuckled)
Don't worry, I like cooking.
It's therapeutic for me.
Now go get fresh! and can you wake up Aiden please?
(As if on cue, Aiden yawned behind me)Aiden: What's this chatter about?
N: Great, I'm making breakfast! Go get fresh.
(Aiden sleepily walked towards the bathroom and I followed him to brush my teeth.
It was normal for us to do our morning routine together, but after what happened that night..
Awkwardness was in the air.
We both got fresh, trying our best to not act weird..)-
Aiden: This- this is delicious!
(He said after shoving a whole cookie in his mouth)N: Thank you!
Aiden: You outdid yourself.
(I was still working on my thesis so I didn't get a chance to eat the cookies yet, but as I took a sip of the latte..
My taste buds felt the heaven.
The sweetness of the chocolate aroused my heart as the bitterness of the coffee fired up my brain.
It was the perfect mixture..
I audibly gasped.)Nathan: Oh my- I'm loving this.
Can you make this everyday?
(He chuckled)N: I don't think you should consume chocolate everyday, bud.
So, It looks like this breakfast was a success!Aiden: That would be an understatement.
(He could barely speak because his mouth was full of chewed up cookies.
N smiled happily, his phone lit up with a notification..
N glanced at it but ignored it.
Was he taking my advice?
Was he ignoring Sebastien?
Was it even Sebastien?)N: Anyway, guys I gotta go.
I promised Mr.Keogan that I'll help him with submissions.
Gotta impress the professors, am I right?
(He got up and started preparing his bag)Nathan: You won't eat?
N: Oh I already ate.
See you guys in chemistry?
Bye!
(With that he was out of the dorm..
And there were we.. Me and Aiden..
Stuck in silence.
The tension was so thick that I could feel it suffocating us.
We ate a few cookies in complete reticence,
until..)Aiden: So.. ("Nope- Not right now! I cannot".)
(I chugged the rest of my coffee and shoved a few cookies in my pocket)Nathan: Oh shit, look at the time. Gotta go!
("Yeah, nice excuse Nathan" I complained to myself.
He looked at me, completely dumbfounded)Aiden: Nathan?-
(I picked up my backpack)Nathan: See you in chemistry!
(Probably not.)"Nathan!-"
(His words got cut off as I shut the door behind me.
It felt bad that I was running away from him, like a coward.
But I can't deal with this right now..
I had no idea what he was gonna say, but my brain's neocortex already imagined the worst case scenario and I did not wanna hear it in real life..
"I could talk to him in the evening"
I thought to myself, Maybe the day will calm me down and give me some courage to talk to him.
Probably not but let me dream okay?
With a sigh I left the dorm building..)
