Chapter 8: No More Mystery

As soon as he hung up the phone, I went up and faced the mirror. I look like shit. Whoever he is, I just have to be a little presentable. I washed my face in my bathroom sink and reapplied the make up that got smudged. I didn't bother changing my clothes. I am at my house so it's okay wearing everyday clothes. Just as I was about to check the time, I heard a car engine at the front of the house. I looked through my window and saw a car I completely recognize, but is different in bit. Who's the owner of that car again?

I hurriedly ran down to the front door. I opened it and I saw the guy who had a wrong sent message to my number. I don't know what to say! Ofcourse that's him! The only transfer student in our batch, his

voice, the same voice I hear on the phone. I stared at him in complete shock and disbelief. Why didn't I thought about it before? The same guy who bumped on to me and sent me home with the same car. The new player of the football team, it's him. His brown hair, a little messy but still right with his look. Those eyes I've seen before is in the same grey color. The cockiness in his smirk, that smirk I've seen in Gino's turned into a smile to beam at me. I am staring at my mystery texter. I still am shocked with who he is. I am completely stunned and immobile.

"Uhm, hi Maieve, can I come in?" I blinked my eyes and shook my head so bad. Stupid me.

"U-uh, yea, uh sure?" I stuttered and my eyes never leaving his. Is it really him?

I gestured him in, I am little by little getting over the shock.

"Geoff, let's get to my room. Our nanny might be home anytime and I don't want her to see me look like sht." I told him with my best composed self. I stepped on the first 2 steps on the stairs and..

"You looked pretty good to me." Cockiness in his voice but not pure. Is he nervous or something?

I smiled wryly at him, "Well, uh, thanks?" With that, he chuckled.

i opened my bedroom door and again gestured him in. He doesn't need to be told twice cause he went in. He sat on my bed and looked around. I closed the door and followed him to seat across where he sat.

"Can't believe it's me, huh?" Geoff suggested. I nodded and went up to my bed and leaned against the head board. He did the same and moved a little closer to me. I felt my heart race.

"So, why are you really here?" i asked him as I ticked the remote for my flat screen.

"To you know, comfort you and end the secrecy. But I really want to comfort you." He moved closer to me and I felt violated. I pushed him away and he chuckled and returned to his original position.

"I'm kidding you know. I don't want to take advantage of a situation like this. I look like a maniac if I do that" He blurted as he raised his two hands like in defeat. I laughed a small one on his statement. I find him really funny, but then, the hurt that Matt gave me is still there and it just hurt so much.

Geoff must've noticed the sudden change of my reaction and he looked so worried in a second.

"What is it Maieve? Did I say anything wrong?" Tears started to blur my vision. I am so weak and I am just showing it to him.

"It's not you, silly. It's about Matt, the thing that happened earlier. It just... sucked!" I told him and tears are really running down my cheeks, non-stop.

"No, stop crying, I can't stand to see you like that. Matt really loves you, I don't know why he has done this. I am so surprised, cause he told me once that he asked you out for a year only to be rejected each time. I can't believe that when you finally said yes, he'll do that to you?" Geoff said so fast and is having an interpersonal debate.
