Chapter 9

"Thank you, common let go, I don't want to argue all night."

We laughed at her joke. The road was full of boys and girls roaming about. I wasn't nervous at all. The male dorm was very noisy, there was loud music playing at one side of the hall and boys were rocking girls making everywhere stuffy.

'I will I go to his room' I thought.

The stairs is full of drunk people and Chloe has left me alone.

"Do you want a drink?" Chloe asked handing me a glass of drink, it smells like sour cherry but it's a vodka. I remember the first time I ever took a beer, it was during our last prom night in high school, it disgust me. I feel irritated just remembering that day.

"Don't you like it?"

"No, thank you." I said dropping it on the counter we passed by.

Don't she wanna see Jake or is he in the party? I don't think so cause she would have left me if she saw him

"Have you seen Jake?"

"No"

"Don't you wanna see him?"

"I want to, I know I gonna leave you if I see him so I don't wanna see him now."

"Don't worry about me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yh."

"Ok, let go" She said ascending the stairs.

It was hard ascending the stairs because it was full of people groping and rocking. There was people at the corner of the corridor kissing. Jake room was slightly opened so we just entered inside without knocking. She ran to hug him.

"Hi." he greeted me.

"Hi"

"What's up?"

"I'm cool, what about you?"

"Good also"

"Ok"

He kissed her

"Ok, I think I should excuse you guys."

"Where are you heading to?" Chloe asked.

"I will be with my friend"

"Ok"

"Bye." I said leaving.

I knocked but there wasn't response. i knocked harder so he would hear me even if he was asleep. Maybe, he is in the party enjoying himself. I don't want to barge in so I wouldn't see anything but my body wasn't listening to my mind. My mind find it way to the knob and turned it, the door wasn't even locked. There he was, right in front of the door. I guess he wanted to open the door just when I opened it. What a coincidence? His hair was damped and disheveled with his sweat making his black long hair bloom, he looks gorgeous just like that. He just woke up from sleep that means I was the one that woke him.

"Ooh, I'm sorry for wak...."

"It's ok, come in." He said opening the door wide

The room wasn't as tidy as it was the first time I entered. I looked at the table, it was neatly arranged.

"Do you wanna go for the party?"

"No, I'm ok" Maybe he wants to go

"What about you?"

"No, you can read any novel." He said

It sounded more like a reminder than just saying it casually. I sat down on the chair opposite the reading table. I don't know why I find myself wanting to ask him why all his novel are about Devil but I don't know the right way to ask. I turned to look at him, he was sitting at the edge of his bed, he smiled when our eyes met making me to smile back. I continued with the novel I was reading the other day, I didn't find myself feeling like novel I want to ask him questions like Why does he have only devil novel? Why does he have all those dreams? What does he dream about? Does he hurt him every night? Why didn't anyone hear him screaming? I adverted my gaze to him, he was staring at the floor. The atmosphere around me seem to be tense, I adverted my gaze quickly before his should meet mine.

Why is today like this? He purposely didn't lock the door before he slept so she will just enter and lay beside him on his bed. He want that her tender hand to do some work like caress his face. But no, she didn't open the door, she knocked making him to wake up. How will she cuddle him now? As far as he is awake she is never going to do such.

He is such a fool, why did he remind her to read the novel? If he hasn't talked, she wouldn't be in front of that reading table reading a good damn novel. He want her to be beside him so he could look at that gorgeous face. She wore a little bit of make-up which brought out her beauty. It isn't that she is not beautiful but the make-up added to her beauty. Although, she didn't apply much make-up at all.

It seems she wants to ask questions but she didn't know the right way to ask. He looked at her as she focus on the book, his eyes fell on her luscious lips, he fought the urge not to kiss that delicate lips. He looked at the ground so she wouldn't catch him staring at her. Not long he was staring at the floor, he felt her gaze on him. The girl around him is intense. He would prefer arguing with her than just sitting doing nothing.

"Will you like a drink or anything?"

"A drink."

"Ok, I will go get it for you ."

"Wait!" She said when he was about to reach the door.

He turned and raise his left eye brows

"Actually... I'm hungry." She said in a shy tone

Her face was red with embarrassment, she looked down making him to smile.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything"

"Ok, there is a restaurant down the road."

"Oh, ok. Are we permitted to go there?"

"Yh"

Why did she ask? Doesn't she knows? Is she new here?
