HIS ONLY

Chapter 13

(I do not take credit for the picture.)

HENRIETTA MOSBY

We were in class, the teacher giving a lecture on the Economic Reforms of the country, but I was least interested. I kept stealing glances at Hugh.

Honey between us was furiously writing, at an inhuman speed, whatever the teacher was preaching.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and removed it to see a message from Brandon. Strange.

"After the last class is over, take Honey through the backside fire exit towards the garden behind the cafeteria. It's a surprise. Don't be late. If you have problems with the directions, ask Mike or Sky. Don't screw this up loser."

I rolled my eyes and replied "K jackäss."

I looked at Honey who was nodding at whatever the teacher said and wrote it studiously and I smiled.

Hopefully she'll be happy after whatever Bran has planned. The freaking bïtch avoided her the whole day after all.

HONEY SAMUELS

After the last class was done, I sighed and checked my phone.

2 unread messages.

I immediately perked up but then deflated when none were from Brandon.

Why is he not talking to me?

I was getting angry now, I started walking towards the lift to the ground floor main exit, when Hen pulled me away.

I frowned. I was so not in the mood to see her do her makeup in the washroom.

"Give me the keys Hen, I'll wait for you in the car." I complained as I struggled to get her to let me go.

"Hon I want to show you a cool thing I found out today! It's so... uh cool that you'll be like wooaah."

I narrowed my eyes at her "Really?" I asked, unconvinced. "And what is this cool thing?"

"It's a surprise!!!" she giggled nervously.

Hen never giggles.

"Now come!" she pulled me harder and we opened a door to see the fire exit stairs and started descending it.

At the end of the stairs, my eyes went wide. It was filled with pink balloons!! We went down and reached the floor and I picked up a single red balloon among the whole lot of pink ones and found it had a message.

"Is my princess sad and angry? Well no problem, why don't you just leave your chauffeur (HENRIETTA) here and follow the arrows to the garden.
Brandon"

I heard Hen scoff and mutter sarcastically "Princess and chauffeur... great!" causing me to chuckle. She then smiled at me "Call me if you need a ride." I nodded.

My heart was thumping hard as I tried to maneuver through hundreds of balloons towards the gate to the garden.

I gasped when I opened the gate and saw a pathway of rose petals with jars of water and floating candles and rose petals on the side, leading to the gazebo area. My cheeks immediately flamed.

Oh my God!! This is so romantic. I don't know what to do!!!!

Okay I knew what to do. I had to simply walk on the path wherever it leads and I'll be happy if the destination is Brandon.

My anger had long been dissolved when I saw all those pink balloons and right now I had one of the biggest smiles on my face as I walked on the path.
