Me: please put me down
Him: you shivering. Are you cold?
Me: please just put me down
He placed me inside the covers.
Him: are you cold? Are you coming down with the flu?
I shook my head unable to utter a single word. Please understand that when you afraid of something it does weird stuff to your body and that was me now. my heart was beating out of my chest almost like I was having panic attack
Him: Red talk to me please
Me: I'm scared of heights
He looked at me for a while and then laughed
Him: whoa you serious? I... I'm sorry I didn't know that
Me: of cause you wouldn't know
Him: so that means you afraid of being picked up? I couldn't let you sleep on the floor now. you were going to catch a cold
Me: thanks for caring
Him: but it wasn't even a height
Me: just being in the air or my feet not touching the ground scars me. it makes me feel like I'm having some sort of a panic attack
Him: that's sad
Me: yeah
Him: so does that mean you can't sit on a high chair?
Me: come on. A chair is a chair.
Him: but you said you don't like your feet not touching the floor
Me: I'm too tired to have this talk with you.
Him: did you guys eat?
It then hit me. I didn't make anything to eat and my little sister was probably hungry AF. OH God I'm the worst sister and she was in bed sleeping already
Me: what time is it?
Him: past 11pm. Wait you guys didn't eat?
Me: it totally slipped my mind. I was too busy studying that I forgot
Him: lucky you I brought pizza. Wake the little one up and come eat
I nodded and he walked out. I woke Ivy up which was a struggle but eventually she woke up and we headed downstairs to eat and get to know each other seeing that we lived together.
Him: I'm an accountant and a partner at some accounting firm
Me: so that means you know your accounting right?
Him: top of my class red
Me: great. If you not busy can we look at few things. I kind of got stuck and that's when I fell asleep cause I couldn't crack it
Him: bring your books and let's do this
I ran upstairs and came back with my books. Ivy finished eating and went straight to bed leaving me with Toby. This guy right here knew what he was doing. He wasn't lying by the top of the class statement because he was really smart and he made it all seem like the simplest thing known to men. We slept at 3am in the morning and I was writing at 9am. I was sure going to pass that paper with the help I got last night or should I say this morning. We got to school and he parked in front of the gate.
Him: I won't be available to pick you two up so I got you a driver, her name is Ashlene... she's my PA. here is cash for lunch for the both of ya'll and I will see you guys later. Red, Ace that exam ok!
