Steal My Heart ♥

4. Slips, Trips and Falls

Medley Stryder's POV

I wake up early as usual and follow the same routine. Then I head for my classes and shared about my horrific first date with my two best friends. They were so annoyed with Tom that they wanted to beat him black and blue. Awww.....they're really my friends!

When I was on my way to my locker, I see Robert with Tina, his girlfriend. She is the type of girl who radiates that 'No one can beat me' kind of aura. She's extremely rich and the only child of her parents so she gets whatever she wants. She is treated like a princess even in the college. She's a member of the make-up club. Well... She's pretty and has a great fashion sense. Total opposite of me.

I just ignore them and get my books out of my locker and leave for my literature class. I find Ken busy reading something so I head towards him.

"Ken. Hi." And sit next to him.

"Hey! Right on time! Please explain this phrase here for me. I'm really having a hard time." He showed me a section from the English text.

"Sure." I'm so happy I went through this portion last night! So I was able to explain it to him at my level best.

"Thanks Medley! To make up for this... Wanna have lunch with me? It's on me!" He grins at me which makes him look so adorable.....well.. I couldn't refuse.. So I agreed.

The classes go by normally and finally the most awaited hour has come! Lunch with Ken!

I informed Lis and Ayla ahead and quickly set my foot towards the cafeteria. I see him seated at the table side in the right corner looking so cute and attracting all the girl's eyes as if he was like a prized flower attracting all the attention of the bees. And just as I was about to walk towards him, I feel a hand pull me by my arm and drag me out towards the corridor.

I try to set myself free from the strong grip but to no avail. Then my eyes meet his blue eyes.

"Robert" I'm really surprised? I thought he said we were strangers in college.

"Geez... You're really stubborn." Then he let go of my arm.

"Well, I need you to write a story for me. It's for my English assignment. And I suck at writing so you're doing it for me." He asked me, more like an order with his ever arrogant looks. Huff....

"Sure. But did you have to drag me out here?" I look at him squarely in the eyes. Wow... Have I gotten comfortable with him?

I guess so.

"Lesson number one. Never give in too easily when a guy asks you for lunch." He looks around if there's anyone.

"How did you know that??"
Seriously? Is he some kind of a CCTV camera 24/7??

"Be ready by 5 pm at the same place. You've got a lot to learn." He gives his signature smirk while showing his dimples which are super cute! Is he even human? Maybe not? Kidding!

"Okay." As I was about to head towards Ken..

"Don't think of going there."
He points towards Ken's table.

Just then I saw Gina, one of Tina's minion sit on the opposite seat of Ken. I feel bad..... That is supposed to be my place!

"Jealous?" I hear him whisper in my ears.

"N-No!! Why would I be? I-I'm not his girlfriend!" I defend myself while feeling myself blush furiously.

"Well, not yet." He smirks and walks off through the corridor
while I watch his silhouette disappear slowly into the darkness of the corridor.
