The First Fall Of Autumn

Chapter 5

Edward's Point Of View.

I say goodbye to Cedric as I walk down a couple blocks and finally reach out to my car as I sit inside I notice that the weather outside is exquisitely artistic. Grey sky ,calm wind, tangerine and amber hued leaves bestrewed over the sidewalks , this is the grandeur of autumn so serene and aesthetic. A small smile forms on my lips as I close my eyes and feel the breeze caressing my face ,soothing every gnarled nerve of mine and calming the pace of everything outside and within me. I open my eyes after a while as I start the car and sluggishly drives out the campus gate. Autumn is the only weather I cherish and not be nosy about. I wonder if people figured the contrasting splendor of this season. The ardour , the lechery lined with strings of romance amalgamating with dark abominable emotions brewing inside oneself that prompts the desire to fall, and evince affection ,to cherish the soma and soul with a passion beyond enumeration. I spend a bit more time adorning the thoughts about the season as I see a lady crossing the road with a baby in her hand and feels my entire body panic in search of a reasonable stimuli and I hear my beats up in my ear as I immediately put the breaks stopping just inches away from the lady as she screams and drops some curses on me leaving. Phew. My heartbeat catches a normal pace once again and I calm a bit. When in the world did I caught the speed ? I didn't even bloody realized that. I should stop thinking this deep while I drive though or else no time soon I'll be stuffed up in a cell for hit and run...I sigh a bit relieved and tired already imagining how my lazy ass would look in a lockup and I put on some music rushing home.
I live with my parents. Wow. This thought floods my mind every time I reach my house's gate. People my age elects on putting up with their shit alone. Mostly. But why do that if you can piss your parents off with it and know they got your back. A smile crepts on my lips as I get out of the car hanging the duffle bag on my shoulder and ringing my doorbell to be received by my lovely mom like usual. I kiss her cheek and rush upstairs to my room and take a shower I quickly put on a pair of boxers and T-shirt and grab a seat on my bed sitting back and pondering on the glimpse of my day. What a day man! I am excited for the upcoming days at this university. I was just writing through my daily journal when a call from Cedric snaps me out of my day flash.
"Hey man, sup ?". I asked him flipping through the pages of my journal. "Hey, nothing much man just wanted to let you know that you should grab your car to the party tonight. I am going to pick Adele up by eight sharp and I'll bring her directly to the party." He says in his usual cherpy voice. Hearing her name again burns my chest and I clench my teeth ending the call. What ? Why Adele needs to be in a place like that ? Its not meant for her ! I sigh a bit and realize that I am just not in the position to control her life. Moreover why is Cedric showing such a great interest in her ? And most of all why am I so bothered ? I roll my eyes composing myself and imaging what she might wear to a party because I am pretty sure she's never been to one. Anyway none of my concerns, it'll be amusing to see her tonight. I grab some lunch and grab a quick nap.
I wake up to the sound of my mom shaking me from my dreamy world as I look at her with hooded eyes trying my level best to escape the light. "What mom ?". I say being pretty annoyed with her for thwarting my sleep. "Wakey wakey you have to go to the party and I have pulled out the clothes for you, get ready and see us downstairs before leaving." She says and I start to recollect the memories of the damn party. Fuck I completely forgot about it. I get up lazily and freshen up changing into my ripped black jeans and black tee. I love black. Plain and blank. Just like me.
I rush down getting the usual instructions from my parents to drive safe, come home before midnight, not drink too much and blah blah blah. I wonder if very parent pisses off their kids just like that before attending a party. Its like sabotaging the entire party tenor. Anyway I know they do it because a they care for me...
I have started to think this entire university first day thing is moulding me into a exceptionally saccharine deep ruminant philosopher. Huh. I take a deep breath and hug my mom leaving the house and sitting in my car and speeding off to the venue infringing  my mom's mandate to drive safe as I chuck the mere thought away putting more pressure on the accelerator and driwing away. I'm gonna have a lot of fun today. This is my first party in weeks and I am gonna rock this one and finally get some chick tonight. Huh. Its been a while I have gotten myself laid poor girls out there are wearing out they need me. I chuckle at my own thoughts and zaps into an empty spot beside the huge house at the outskirts of the town parking and jumping out of my car as I already get goosebumps with the chilly air and the hammering roar of the music blending with the chatter of people. Welcome to your playground baby. I say it to myself and walks towards the house.

Adele's Point of View :

I grab my handbag putting in some necessary stuff and goes to the door as I see Cedric standing at there wearing a black jacket and ripped jeans. Well he's looking handsome no doubt in that. I feel myself gasp involuntarily and shake my head. Adele darling calm down the party is yet yo start. He was pretty engrossed in a conversation with Rose as I walked further and he finally noticed me and gave his big beautiful smile. I didn't notice those dimples before tho. I spot him scanning me with his eyes which makes me a bit uncomfortable but I smile politely not wanting to make the situations awkward already as I mouth a small hello and looks at his face. "You look gorgeous Adele". He breathes and steps inside a bit more engulfing me in a sweet sugar coated hug. Damn. He smells nice, I wonder why the perfume companies don't put these libido provoking fragrances for females, the fruity smells are amusingly obnoxious. I realize that I've hugged him longer than normal or at least in accordance with my definition of normal as I pull away gently giving him a slight smile. "You look handsome too". I smile as he looks over my shoulder probably looking for something as I and Rose gives him an inquisitive look. "What you looking for love ?" Rose asks politely giving him a small smile.
