My Darling ♥

chapter 34

he carried me all the way back to the office.

he let me down when we got to the door. Alex was already there waiting for us.

Alex walked through the door and Hunter grabbed it before it closed. he held it open for me, I walked through then him.

we walked back to the front desk where Mrs. Hoffman was. "okay, we're going now" Hunter said.

"okay" she said.

"is it okay if I take the rest of the day off?"

"umm.. I'm not sure. here.." she picked up the phone and dialed, what I'm guessing, hunter's dad's phone number. "talk to your father about it"

she handed him the phone. he took it, but didn't put it up to his ear. he just held it in his hand. "why did you call him if his office is right there?" he put the phone back on the base.

he walked down the hall and stopped in front of a big wooden door. he knocked on it; not even waiting for a response he walked in.

I followed him, but stayed in the doorway. "Hunter! you can't just barge in here at any time you want! I thought you had learned your lesson from last time"

"well I needed to talk to you, as do I now"

"speak" he father said as he continued watered work he was doing before Hunter rudely walked in uninvited.

"can I take the rest of the day off. my friend needs a ride home so I'm taking her and her brother and I don't see a reason to come back here. it raining outside and I don't want to be cold and wet all day"

"no. you must stay here and complete your classes. Harvard is a very hard school to get into and you're not going to get in it by ditching all the time"

"I'm pretty sure missing one day isn't going to make a difference. I've had perfect attendance since preschool. I think I've earned a day off"

wow. we're more alike than I thought.

"I said no"

"I don't care. I'm going, and you can't stop me"

"Hunter." his father sighed "please, I haven't gotten much rest in the last month. please don't argue with me"

"just let me go and I won't sat another word about it"

"fine. go. but you will make up all of your missed work"

"already done. I got bored so I did it last night"

"you did?"

"yes"

"I'm impressed son"

"so can I go?"

he sighed again "I suppose. if all of your work is done.. then you can go. but you must visit your mother first thing tomorrow"

"of course"

"have a good day, son"

"thanks" Hunter walked out of the room and walked down the hall, taking my hand and linking our fingers in one swift move.

I was surprised I didn't pull back. my body didn't let me. I wanted to hold his hand, but it's wrong.
