Second Love (BenEarth)

the giant

Nine's POV

I never been out of my mind. Like today. Shocks seeing his parents tomorrow for the first time really will kill me.

I walk in the pathway of my building when i saw a woman. I feel like she is familiar, felt like i saw her somewhare already. But iam sure she is not one the university's faculty or staff.

I smiled and greeted her.
"Good morning maam, can i help you with something?"
I tried to smile geuinely and be polite.

"I need to see my son!"
She is not polite, maybe having a fight with her son or a bad day.

"Maam can i know his course?" I asked her smiling.

"He said, i will come here and he will meet me here." She said still in bad mood.

People now walk by.
"There you are Nine," a classmate came to me.
I nooded at her.
"The prof said you know what to do with this and she needs it monday. By the way. Our faculty is having a wide level by level meeting for the sports fest, if you are interested, you can just fill up the forms you can ask some in your dorm. That is for now, i need to find the other officers."
She gave me the things i need to do, then sbe saw the woman sitting beside me.
"Good morning maam, your son is a good student, and nicest person i met."

"Ellie, shut it. Ma'am my apologies. She is Ellie."
The woman smiled at her
"I'm sorry. I thougt. Sorry, i have to go then. Nine, sorry."
She went on.

"She is hillarious." She said.

"Yes, maam, she is an old friend, she also supports me and my boyfriend." I said and smiled.

"You have boyfriend?"
She asked shocked.

"Yes maam." I smiled. She might judge me or hurt me, but do i care. I will not back down.

She smiles.

"Are you ashamed of him?" She asked.

"No, maam, i am so proud of him. He is clumsy and sometimes childish. But i love those in him. All of it makes him of who he is." I smiled proudly.
"But, his beeing famus gives me head ache. I am not ashaned of him i am not used to draw attention."
I paused and looked at her.

"I am sorry i am blabbering too much. Maam how can i help yoh again?" I said and stood.
"Just bring me to the dorm." She said. "By the way, what is your nickname?"

She asked nickname, seems wants to know me more but not the deepest.
"People call me Nine maam." I said politely.

"Nice name." She said.

"This way to my car maam, it is not that fat drom here." I said.

She sat where Chen always sits. I focused on driving being careful. I am so not myself really, why do i have the urge to impress her.

"So what is the course of your boyfriend?" She suddenly asked.

"Computer Engineering maam." I said shortly but smile is on my face. I glance at him once a while.

"Why do i like to meet him" she said.

I felt sudden nervous. But shood it away.

"Maybe you will maam, if your son makes you wait longer. I will meet him and our friends this lunch."
I parked the car in my spot. Chen's car is not here, neither Ben's and Dome's means they are still in their classes maybe.

I guided maam to the lobby.

"Maam sit here for a while. While you wait for your son and i will acompany you."
I said smilling.
