Chapter 27

*** Akali POV ***

I wake up slowly, turning towards him only to notice that the bed is empty, "(Y/N)?" I lift myself as I realize that the bed is somewhat made but the curtains were still shut, "What time is it?" I grumble as I reach for my phone.

Oh... he is at college. Did I really sleep so peacefully that I didn't even wake up? Giggling to myself like a little girl, "I should start sleeping with him sooner." 

He should have woken me up, I think to myself as I walk around the place. Everyone has gone and everything is clean - I kind of have to go to work to finish up what I started but I don't know where any of the keys are.

Should I drop it off for him? Wouldn't that just be annoying considering everything?

I quickly text him as I get ready to leave. I still have to change my clothes and I am still wearing yesterday's underwear and his shirt. The quicker I get to rush home the better for my own sake.

My notification pops up, reading it - I have the spare with me so you can take that with you after you lock the door. It should be near the fridge, I also have a break in an hour or so if you want to swing by.

I smile widely, as I say the words while I am typing, "Maybe next time - I'll see you later," with a giggle I then put my phone away as I search for the key.

I'd love to meet up but then again I still have to do my own things, I should be done with it soon and then I get a lot more free time.

*** Normal POV ***

Sitting at a table, there are a lot more of us than usual, despite what happened between me and Grace she dropped down next to me. Conrad to my right, and across from us sits Greg, Toby, and Matty.

"Group is slowly getting bigger and bigger," Matty remarks.

"I thought you hate hanging out with people?" Conrad remarks.

"Are you trying to say I should leave?" he narrows his eyes.

I only shake my head at the exchange as Grace whispers, "Weird to see everyone all bundled up like this - then again we are just missing one person in this group and then it will be completely unbearable."

Laughing as I try to finish my food, "Michelle is just a chatter box."

"Annoying," she rolls her eyes, "Thanks for not making it weird between us."

I lift my shoulders, "Who else's notes will I use when I fall asleep in class?"

With a smile, "Dunno. Not these two idiots."

The two of them look up simultaneously, "You seriously underestimate us."

She shakes her head, "Really don't. The-"

I return my gaze back to my food, not really getting in the middle of the conversation but more just wishing the day would be over soon. I don't expect to see Akali till later tonight anyway... or she might not stay the night either.

Playing last night over and over through my head, the conversation dies out slowly and we all have to go back to our next classes.

Conrad then turns in the seat, "So? Is she going to stay tonight again or is she planning on moving in?"

I lift my shoulders, "I haven't talked to her about it yet - though would it be a bad thing if she did."

He shakes his head, "I mean, I wouldn't say it is moving too fast but that woman confuses me. If you want her to stay over tonight or even move in, go for it. Then it makes rent easier," then with a chuckle, "I am kinda jealous of you."

Giving him an unimpressed stare, "Please. I only just recently got to experience it."

He then cries out dramatically, "I also want to date a super hot celeb - do you think Ahri is single?"

"I'll ask Akali."

He then stops me, "Please don't. She might just start hating me again."

I say quickly, "It would help that you didn't act like you disapprove of the two of us being together," he looks away, "It all worked out in the end and I don't care what happened in between but I really feel like this is genuine... I never felt like that before. I was always paranoid and she makes me feel like it is only me-"

"Stop it! I don't need you making me cringe with all this... cutesy stuff," he then smiles at me, "As long as you are happy dude."

I say that - but I am worried that the two of you will never see eye to eye. I don't want to have to choose between a lifelong friend and a potential lifelong partner. I just hope you two manage that much - that is all I will ask for.
