Rays POV
I'm sitting on the driver's seat, looking in front of my car. I've been here for a whole hour, my mind is blank. I'm just staring at the air, on nothingness, that woman took my mind off of me.
After taking all the subjects I needed without even realizing, what I'm doing and just moving and deciding on auto pilot, I decided on going home. Then when I get on my car her face starts to emerge on my mind, her picture is imprint on it, and now I'm lost again with the thoughts of her. She captures me without any effort coming from her, I don't even know if she'll be attracted to a girl, her student. And damn it's just our first meeting and my mind is working for the futures I don't even have an idea if possible.
I need to do something to capture her attention, to make her see me, recognize me. I know it may sound cliché, but she's the one. The missing piece of me. I know she'll complete me. I know these but what could I do, she might think of me as crazy, what I did earlier, giving her that wrap up meal, I wonder if she ate it, and what she thought of me.
As I keep on discussing these things to myself, my eyes caught sight of her, the one occupying my mind, the wind blowing her brunette wavy hair, the afternoon sun set its lights on her perfectly. She looks like a goddess, shining. Urked, maybe she's a witch. She caught me under her spell.
She's walking towards the university gates; I started my car's engine and drive, following her. She entered a condo building and I parked my car in front of it. I get out and jog inside. She enters the elevator and it was about to close, so I dashed to it and put my arm between the closing doors. She saw me and was shocked at what I did. And a puzzled look was paste on her face, I pushed the closed button. The eight number is on light so I guessed that s her room floor. I look at her face. She didn't even have any sweat from her walk. Her hair is still perfect the wind didn't get to them. There's a light tint of red on her cheeks, I guess that's the only noticeable effect she had from walking.
"Uhmm, Ms. Wilson, why are you here?" she finally ask. Shock is still visible on her face.
She knows my name, maybe she looked for it earlier, it warms my heart. But now I don't know what to say to her, I don't have any reason to be here. I can't tell I like her and just stalk her here.
Ding. The elevator opens, she looks up and saw that we're on eight floor, she exits the elevator and I was just there following her. I think my body's moving on its own towards her. And my head was mindlessly occupied by her.
"Ms. Wilson? Are you ok? Why are you following me?" She stops on a room door, I think it's her condo; she's holding keys on her hand. She looks up and her eyes caught mine.
I blinked.
She tilted her head as if she's trying to read what I'm thinking. Her brows furrow.
My heart is beating faster than before, "I just want to make sure you got home safely Ms. Lay. I saw you walking earlier and I just go with my instinct and follow you. Did I bother you or scared you?" It's a good thing I don't stutter even if I'm nervous. I'm looking like an idiot and I don't want any more dumbness added to it.
"Ms. Wilson, I don't think there's any need for that, the school is just a few blocks away." She said.
I don't know what to say to her so I just stand there and look at her. She was about to use her keys when suddenly the door opens from the inside. She was startled at first but then a smile appears on her lips and she hugs the guy in front of us. The man's arms were wrapped around her waist, and I feel a burning pain inside my chest. I turn around and left them there. She didn't even notice I wasn't beside her anymore.
I walked out of the building and get on my car and just drive home.
-----
I get out of my car and enter our house; I went straight to the kitchen to look for Nai Nai. I saw her sitting and preparing vegetables she's going to cook for dinner.
"Nai Nai." I called her.
She looks up and smiles, "Ray do you want something to eat? Spaghetti? It always lights up your mood when you eat pasta, then we will talk about what's bothering you."
She knows something's bothering me. I wonder if it's written on my face that with just one look, she could already tell.
"No Ray, I just know you well that I could tell that something's bothering you. Other people won't know, you're hard to read, they may be intimidated when you look at them." Nai Nai said while preparing my food.
"Did I say that out loud?" I was sure I'm just thinking and talking to myself.
"No. Ray I just eventually develops this skill of reading your mind. You never talk about what's really important." She looks at me and placed a plate of spaghetti in front of me.
She sits across me. "So now let's talk about what happened."
"I don't know Nai, I met my lit prof and she just keeps on occupying my thoughts, I even give her my breakfast then followed her like a stalker. I don't know maybe this will just pass; maybe she's just so young and pretty that I got attracted to her. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow and meet her again I won't feel like this. I even saw her hugging a guy so I think she's taken. And she's my teacher and I'm.. "
"Ray, Ray..." Nai Nai calls me and I stop talking and take a breath.
"Breathe Ray we have time, I think she really did something to you, this never happens." Nai smiles at me.
"I think you need to take it slowly, and I think I want to meet this professor. No one has ever made this effect on our ouji sama. My you talk like a young boy having a crush on her pre-school teacher. " Nai teased me. This old woman really knows how to get on my weak points. She knows me best.
"Nai you can't meet her, you're just going to tell her something embarrassing. By the way Nai have you seen Dina? I need to speak to her about something." I changed the topic.
"I haven't seen her. " she answered.
"I'm done eating Nai, if you see Dina please tell her to come to my room." I stand up off my seat and went to my room.
