LISA MARIE BAILEY

Enjoy

Lisa Bailey couldn't stop her eyes from closing anymore. She had completely had it with this lecturer. She had prepared herself determined to listen today but once he opened his mouth, she had gotten lost in his everlasting slur of words. The worst part was that he taught philosophy she thought to herself with a sigh. She liked philosophy once upon a time. But she knew that with this man as her teacher, she was doomed to fail this course.

Her eyes stayed closed and slowly she started to drift with the thought of Nutella dominating her mind, she saw it, in all its glorious nature dancing in the air. She stretched out her hand to touch it but felt it spread suddenly on a firm surface. She looked up and found herself staring into the face of a man covered by very dark shades. He tugged at her arm telling her 'Lisa wake up, wakeup' she furrowed her eyes a bit confused. The next incident however cleared her confusion.

Whack!

Lisa's eyes popped open almost immediately looking straight at a very confused Peter.

'Class is dismissed. I couldn't just leave you sleeping, with your mouth open and saliva dripping down your mouth' he said giggling to himself slightly. Lisa's hands immediately went to her mouth which was wet from her saliva.

You fainted in his arms and now you are dreaming of him? Seriously get a life' she thought to herself while standing up and stretching a bit.

'Thanks, I owe you one' Lisa said trying to regain her composure.

'Anytime' he said smiling. They both walked out of the lecture room.

'It seems your friend doesn't like me much' Peter said unsure of himself.

'Who?' Lisa said without thinking'

'Deb' he said in a voice that showed he thought her question was a little ridiculous.

'Oh her. Why do you say so?'

'I don't know' he said shifting his foot from side to side. Lisa looked at him, one of her brows raised.

'She gives me this look like I am something that came out from her vomit' he said his hands raised in frustration. Lisa chuckled.

'Believe me, you do not want to see her vomit, it's pretty nasty' she said chuckling to herself.

'Speaking about the devil' Peter said going rigid almost immediately as Deb entered into the cafeteria her searching through the crowd of students for Lisa. When their eyes finally connected, her eyes lit up but then on looking at who was by her side, it died so fast that you would hardly believe her eyes had ever lit up in the first place.

She made her way through the crowd towards Lisa. Lisa opened her mouth to speak but Deb was way ahead of her.

'What is he doing here?' she said glaring at him as if he was some nasty spoiled tomato sauce.

'She's giving me that look again' he whispered gently hitting Lisa with his hand.

'Hey, be nice. He saved me from getting drool all over my face' Lisa said, using her eyes to plead with Deb who just hissed, turned around swiftly and walked way ahead of them to an empty table and sat down rather grumpily. Lisa wondered what would make her hate Peter so much. Peter, however, looked like he wanted the ground to open and swallow him.

Lisa and Peter went to get their food and Deb's and joined her back at the table. The table was very silent as they all munched at their food waiting for someone to break the ice.

'So Deb, how are classes going?' Peter said, looking up and clearing his throat. The glare he got from Deb made him drop his eyes back quickly to his food and made Lisa almost choke on her sandwich.

'Deb, give the guy a break' Lisa said munching her food, her cheeks full giving her an image of a somewhat peaceful soul. All she got in a reply from Deb was a grunt, a very unladylike grunt.

Lisa was about to laugh when she spotted doughnut shades enter the cafeteria and walked straight to an empty table and sat down. It was then she realized the piece of sandwich she had intended to swallow was somehow still stuck in her throat and she swallowed and turned to meet the hot glare of Deb.

'Let me warn now before you take any further action, one embarrassment today and I will kick you out of our apartment. Deb gritted the words out of her mouth trying to look all serious. However, the truth was Deb would have been safer if she hadn't uttered a word. In fact, doing any such thing wouldn't have crossed Lisa's mind. But now, Lisa's face curved with a beautiful smile as she dropped her half-eaten sandwich, stood up and started walking away.

'Don't you dare stand up Lisa! Don't you dare!'  Deb said almost shouting but she was in effect talking to the wind as Lisa made her way to where Doughnut shades sat quietly enjoying his meal that is before Lisa sat down in the seat directly opposite him.
He looked up and continued eating. Lisa rolled her eyes.

'Hey, I am here to make a deal' she said trying to make her voice as tough as she could. He said nothing and continued eating like she had said nothing.

'I'll tell you my name and you'll tell me yours' she said rather pleased with herself.

He sighed and removed his glasses and she saw his brown hazel eyes again and her breath got trapped in her throat at the sheer beauty of it.

'Lisa Marie Bailey' he said smiling at her. She opened her mouth in shock.

'Born on the 23rd of May 1996' he continued smiling.

'How did you know all that? She said looking like she had swallowed a cat.

'Oh don't worry princess, you'll know soon enough' he said picking up his sandwich and lifting it up to his mouth. Lisa looked down at her feet looking somewhat embarrassed. Howeve,r it didn't last for long before she snapped her head upward and she had an angry look on her face.

'How many times will I tell you not to call me Princess?' she said anger clearly in her voice. He just smiled at her. She looked down again at her feet.

'So does that mean you won't tell me your name?' she asked hesitantly. He just smiled even more and continued eating. She rolled her eyes, stood up and started to walk away.

'Oh it's Jason by the way' he said chuckling. Lisa smiled to herself as she continued walking away.
