Lesson Learned : UNIVERSITY LIFE [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23

"What about you guys?" I asked Owen and Aiden while eating my second bowl of ice cream from Caleb. "Do you see anyone now? Wait.. let me rephrase. Are you in a relationship?"

" I just broke up 2 months ago. There are no serious one now," Aiden shrugged.

"I don't have," Owen said.

They were looking at me who was enjoying the ice cream. The taste of the ice cream was very delicious. It helped me getting through my sadness.

"What about the women that you are close now? Is there anyone that, maybe, will be the next serious relationship?"

"Nope,"

"No,"

I nooded then licked the spoon with the tip of my tongue and played it while thinking about next question. Pulling away the spoon, I licked my lower lips, then upper lips that still had taste of ice cream. The spoon was twirled between my fingers. Then I chewed my lower lips, looking up to the lamp above us while thinking about next question that I would ask them. But I still had not found the question yet. Then I put back the spoon in my mouth and play with it again with my tongue.

"Stop doing that," Owen said. I looked at him with the spoon still in my mouth, frowning because of his warning.

"Let her do that," Aiden said with a smirk on the corner of her lips.

"Yeah Owen. Let her do that. It's fun to watch," Caleb smirked. Then I stopped playing with the spoon then scooped the ice cream again while glaring at Aiden and Caleb. They stifled their laughter.

"pervert," I muttered loudly. Both Aiden and Caleb emitted a snicker at my accusation.

"Most guys are pervert, sweetheart," Aiden said. I scowled at him. Then there was one question popped up in my mind.

"What about Diana, Owen?" I averted my gaze at Owen. He looked at me and smiled.

"We are just friend. I have no intentions toward her,"

"But it seems she likes you more than that".

"I know. She told me,"

"She did?" I gasped.

"Yeah. But I said that I only see her as a friend. She was sad but we manage to become a friend again"

"She is so lucky," I said with an admiration coo.

"What do you mean?" Owen frowned questioning my statement.

"You can back to become friend again and you didn't tell anyone, besides these two of course, about her confession," I bit my lower lips remembering my stupid confession toward Jackson then he, or maybe his friends, spread the news. A sigh escaped my lips. After few seconds I realised that there was no response from Owen or the other two guys after I said that. I lifted my gaze to see them just to see exchanged glances among them.

"Of course, you all know it," I let out sad chuckle. "Its public secret anyway". I grimaced at it then slammed the spoon to the empty bowl. I pulled the hoodie from the jacket to cover my face, feeling embarrassed that even they knew about it. My hands covered my face hiding my blushing face because of the embarrassment.

"Hey, it's not your fault. It's natural to have feelings,"

"Don't be embarrassed Nat,"

"It's just us,"

I pulled my lips into my mouth then chewed it. Their soft words made me relief; they didn't tease me about it. A tear managed to escape from my eyes, but I quickly wiped it. I sniffled a little then uncovered my face and looked at them.
