Boyfriend

Isla blinked in astonishment. She rubbed her eyes and again looked at the man beside him. All his eyes, nose, lips, ears and his beautiful smile were as perfect as eight years ago. He's real. This time, it was not a dream.

"Isla?" August called her again. His smile had gone a bit, a little amazement on his face.

Isla turned her body and stood face to face with him. "Oh! It's you, August. I never expected to meet you here." Isla finally replied. She gasped.

"Did you attend this law school?" August asked. His smile were bigger than before. He looked excited.

"Yeah. What are you doing here?" She showed a curious yet nervous face.

Before August answered her question, a man came to them and stood near Isla. He was tall and enticingly handsome. His appearance was neat and virtuous. He gave out a respectful and powerful aura. His appearance was like that of a man of dignity. As he turned around his head, all eyes were on him.

The man wore a simple black t-shirt and a blue Gucci jeans with a white nike sneaker. He stood beside Isla with confidence. He looked at Isla and smiled perfectly. His smile was warm like summer. He wrapped his right arm around Isla's waist. With his other hand, he took Isla's right hand and kissed it gently.

"Sorry for making you wait, my love." His voice were sweet yet calm as the sea. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at Isla. They were full of love for her.

"I hope there won't be next time. You know I'm really bored without you here." Isla said with a gentle voice, though she looked a bit upset.

The man eyes were glued to Isla until he realized there was another man standing in front of them. He shifted his eyes to August. He noticed that August was staring at him with a curious face for a while.

Isla soon understood the situation. She spoke up pointing August and looking at Lawrence. "Oh! Dear, did you remember him? He's our junior at Hillview High School. He's August." She then looked at August. "This is Lawrence. He's my boyfriend." She said with a low tone voice.

"Hi, I'm Lawrence White. Nice to meet you" Lawrence smiled and introduced himself. He took his hand off of Isla's waist and offered a handshake to August.

"Hi, I'm August Anderson. Nice to meet you too." August examined Lawrence as they shook their hands. He was the same man from eight years ago, whom he used to be jealous of. He fake a little smile.

"I remember you. I was wondering whom my woman was talking to. So you're an old friend from High School. Are you a freshman here?" Lawrence wrapped his right arm around Isla's waist again; holding her tightly and more closer to him.

"Yeah. I'm a first year student. I remember you too." August replied as he lowered his eyes to looked at Lawrence arm, that was wrapping around Isla's waist.

Isla was really shocked as she heard August words. So, he was studying here? Since when was he interested in law? She remembered that August dream was to become a businessman. He always wanted to looked after a business that was founded and established by himself.

"That's good. I'm in my final year and Isla is in her second year. You can seek our help whenever you have a problem." Lawrence said with a friendly smile. He looked at Isla. "Are you fine with that, my dear?" He asked her.

"Sure. Whatever you wish." Isla simply answered while nodding her head.

"Thanks for your concern." August looked at the time. "Oh! My class amost starts. I'll get going. See you again." He said with a small smile and left for the class.

Isla stared at August as he left the cafeteria. Lawrence noticed that Isla was holding a Cappuccino in her hands. He took it from her and stared at her with an upset face. "My dear, how many times do I have to tell you that you should have a proper lunch? You always rely on this coffee whenever I'm not around."

Isla shifted her eyes to Lawrence. "Hmph! You're mistaken. I waited for you to have lunch with you. Did you plan to let me eat alone?" She giggled.

Lawrence mood was completely changed. "No. I did not dare to do such thing." Again he took his hand off of Isla's waist and fit his hand perfectly with hers. "What would you like to eat? I'll buy you the most expensive dish from your most favourite restaurant. Take it as my apology for mistaking you. Please, will you?" He played with her hair as he sweet talked her.

Isla laughed at his expression. "Fine. I'll forgive you." She looked at Lawrence happy face. "My dear, did someone ever told you?" She asked him.

"What?" Lawrence curiously asked her back.

"That you're so cute when you pleaded me with a guilty expression." Again she laughed at his expression.

"Hmph! There you go again. No more teasing. Come on, lets go." The couple left for the restaurant, holding their hands and chatting with each other happily.

Isla smiled all the time when she was with Lawrence. He was like a savior for her. But as she met August at the cafeteria, fear came back to her. Apart from all other things, she was fear of her own heart....
