Chapter 11

 I sucked the last of my Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino substance and chucked it down a garbage can. I looked to see that Calum was still drinking his beverage, the same one as mine. We both liked sweets, which was obvious since after we bought drinks at Starbucks, we treated ourselves to a desert stop named Paris Baguette Bakery Café. Buying mostly everything there, we have had three bags of sweets, but one has gone away from us nibbling at pieces of the bread while walking our way down to my apartment. We didn’t have much to talk, but the last time we got coffee was at that old vintage place I really liked, so we walked that way and it made me remember how beautiful nature is and how the deep-rooted times were better off without electronics kicking in. Everything was pleasant and calm like how I wanted it to be.

Three hours has passed from 10:30 AM, where my class unexpectedly ended 30 minutes earlier. The sun was still high in the air, but with the trees of the antiquated 

Town, there was just a dim light, casting shadows of different shapes among the streets. Children ran down the street where it was vacant from cars, yet their parents still held their hands. Kids seem so hard to handle, but it’s worth having them because they’re a way to engage in recreation and I need that back.

“Isn’t it beautiful,” Calum uttered, the slight wind sweeping his voice away.

“Yeah,” I sighed back, looking around at the background once again for the 100th time.

“I’d like to have 13 kids here,” I added, smiling at my idiotic self.

“13 kids? Don’t you think that’s too much?” Calum gave me a slight grin.

“No. 13 kids equals 13 children that can help me do whatever I want to do,” I joked.

“But that’d mean hard labor for you,” Calum pointed out the obvious.

“I don’t care, it’s worth it if you’re with the right man.”

“Yeah… I guess you’re right. When you’re with the right man, he’ll have fun having 13 kids with you.”

I laughed a bit and just like that, the conversation ended and we walked in peace again. As we walked, I scouted a lot closer to Calum, minimizing the space between us and before I knew it, his hand and my hand touched for a slight second, but it was enough to get my whole body rushing from the sensation.

the shortest chapter I’ve ever written oops :3 please don’t kill me

i promise this story is going to get better soon. i just like writing in slow paste sometimes and for my other original stories, the plot is so big that there’s many chapters that i have to fit a whole huge scene in as much as i can so there won’t be like 10000 chapters. so that’s probably why the plot and scenes for this book is going a bit slow hehe sorry.

 

ily all :3
