Romancing The Stone [H.S]

CHAPTER 28

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend,Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend~Carole King
_

Ashley was infruated at the fact we went to have fun without her, more when I told her I had an encounter with Daren while having lunch near the company. Instructing that no-one from college should know where I not even from our friend's group. I don't know why it's making her perturbed, but I couldn't neglect because she was the one to get me a job an intern. I listened to Ashley's raillery and Emma painted my toe nails tickling me underneath making whither in my spot when someone's message popped at my phone screen stopping me in the middle of my convo, it's him.

Harry: Will yeh be taki'n literature class tomorrow?

What the actual heck, did he messaged me to ask whether I'm going to be in tomorrow class or not. No greetings nothing just a plain question how interesting. My fingers roamed above the type-pad after thinking how to say no without being rude. It's not like he asked you to go on a date with him.

Me: I'll see.

I texted back, does it seem too dry. Should I add an emoji to make it less akward; it looks normal no need to sugar coat anything Stella. I scoffed at the screen when after waiting the indication that he's typing disappeared all along.

Emma head rose as she heard me mocking, eyes bemused by my nonsense but soon forming into a smirk and I groan when she latched to snatch my phone away being all suspicious, pushing her away I gestured her all the mess she made on my nails smearing everything she's a pain in ass sometimes.
_________________________________________

Right now I'm in literature class watching silently as it fills with students minutes passed making my leg bounce in it's spot, my office shifts changed blissfully for me to which I'm thankful now I can attend all my classes without wrapping. I'm lying I don't even work there with shift three days I work anytime while half of the two I work according to schedule, it's like wind up as much work as you can and you're free to go.

The class has started but neither the Professor came not Him. I'm not waiting for him at all, I came to attend my lecture.

Dismay filling each of my pulse when finally he didn't show up, the next moment I'm out of the class. I'm feeling emotions that I'm not quite familiar with. What's happening to me I dwelled over my jiggled thought halting in the middle of the corridor. Passing the campus street in angst, oh no I shouldn't feel like this we're not even friends properly. but just spending a quality time doesn't make you attract to them or does it? I asked myself. I don't want my heart to be directing towards the denouement, but it wouldn't listen my mind being the wisest organ in my body scolding my heart for such immature action. Why was I even waiting for him at the early he's just an asshole you met the very first time.

My day couldn't be more horrendous when the traffic wouldn't favour me, complaining when the cab driver charged extra from me but still shoved money in his hand I need to walk more often from now on. Each time I wrote my models they came incorrect; had to salute Arthur's patience else I would be fired the day I stepped in. I tried to focus but couldn't, staring blankly at my computer screen mind full of thoughts that why I felt it like an insult when he didn't show up and imagining my body shrinking into something so small even it's nothing. All I'm thinking about is Him. Urgh I practically gave frustrated groan slouching my head on the keyboard, relax jeez. The light bulb in my head instantly brighten, now I got what got me into this mess hunger I'm damn hungry. It's six in the evening and now my mission starts as I typed my models like a 'need for speed' giving the clock some glances here and there.

Once done I'm sood infront of the heavy wooden door putting my knuckles against it tapping it lightly knowing he's talking to someone when heard instinctive voice coming from inside asking for permission when he told me it's open I entered standing  aside respecting his privacy. He instructed me to put the paperwork atop the desk, and that I could I'm free afterwards. Turning back to my heels I exited closing the door behind but excitement rushing in me as soon as I stepped now I could relish my appetite not to mention thatc it's friday now and I have a weekend waiting for me to sleep like a dead-body nice.
