"Saving a place would sound sweeter!"
The voice echoed in the silence.
Non could force a voice for a reply but it did..."truth isn't very sweet" Said Merlin.
With a helpless sigh I continued " A lie would be much of a favor " , Merlin chuckled at her place
" No surprise it was just a daily dose of adding up a level to confirm for the highest of ur standards Ele "
" imagine me taking this library on rent for the whole year " I gasp as I close the long opened pages of the novel in my hand.
"Damn that could sound better than traveling this long every day" Said Merlin in a louder tone as I followed with a ' stop it ' expression...................
After high school I moved here at Boston , the last time I visited my original home at Florida was years back.
I'm Elen,Elen Flores
Ever since I step in my days of teen I've been accompanied by my bestfriend Merlin who often reminds me how easy-going I was with my past relationships , the obvious worry she had was me ending up in bed with a jerk but
as a 'book lovers' or simply call us the book worms that could probably spend a whole afternoon with novels, not much to expect from us but a broken past glory and fictional attention .....................
We walked in the college campus as we remained lost in our conversation when a body struck onto my shoulder ,I quickly turn my gaze and raise my sight. It was clear ,a tall pale skined men but the scene tightened my hopes when I noticed the expensive beige fit worn neatly on the body capable to turn my book senses alive! I wouldn't stop admirating very inch of the visual ,until someone pinched my arm " what are u doing Elen!? " Merlin spoke . I look at her and back to the tall body when I realise we are still at the mid hall.. I could neither think of apologising nor move, all I could sense was his cold gaze and the strong scent that ran through my nose trills .
When a voice broke in " may I have a move.........Elen? "
My eyes struck his ,no way..he did knew my name but than I recall Merlin calling my name loud enough for it to travel up his ear .
" S-Sure! M-Mm" I mumbled with embarrassment,"By the way the distance isn't a problem to me "
my body sensed his cold voice close to my ears as he walks away . Merlin cracks in " wtf! Did I just saw that hottie wishper u at that distance! "
That woke me up , I was still in confusion but my eyes literally said my heart is out of beat. The hall was filled with gossips and sight pointing on usA moment pass with blank thought when
" shit! We're late " I said while lowering my gaze at my watch
I looked at Merlin who was merely taking a sigh with an eyeroll and was ready to take a faster step forward .The class wasn't the point , my mind was drawing the past scene for a several times! I could still sense my heart skipping a bit as he locked his sharp blue eyes with mine and the strong scent that perfectly defines him , what more could I wish for............being Rich?
My mind didn't had the space for I barely find my ears awake to hear the lecture but than a creaking sound made me turn , nothing to be surprised of, its just Merlin sneaking in her gravings for almost the 50th time . " did u emptied the whole fridge this week? " I said with a mockingly smile
. Without a hesitation she gives a mystivious smile and replies
" I can't let the rats work alone with emptying the fridge " ,I chuckled..........
As the class ended we were on our way to the library when my phone rang " hello mom " I answered , " hun i know its already time for ur classes to end and would want u here sooner i am sending u my location "
My steps slowed and with a few it stopped , I simply replied with a" hm " and cut the phone . As I turn towards Merlin I found her looking at me already ," alright gurl u may go on with ur good date " she said ,I was about to explain but her words left my mouth back close I simply give her a smile followed by a sigh," it better be a millionaire or not " she continued patting on my shoulder
I smiled even more as we part our ways....................
" alright ,its here " I said as I stand before a restaurant dolled up in a red wine coloured body cotting dress offered with a gold preferred necklace .
I had a black sling bag in my left hand and my phone up close my ear as I ended the call and started walking forward ..........
