chapter 65

Lance's POV

I could still remember the day I first met her she was wearing a plain white t-shirt and a white-washed jeans.

Her hair perfectly flawed above her shoulders and she appeared like a kid with all the other students surrounding her.

She was looking around as if she was lost and I couldn't help myself from staring at her. Her thick black brows were furrowed and she kept on pouting like a little kid.

At first, I just found her cute and left her there but then when I was finally about to go to the HR office, I saw her again. And that time she looked as if she was about to cry.

I walked towards her and I asked her if there's something that she's looking for. And the moment that she turned around and met my gaze, I fell in love.

I fell in love with those big brown eyes that shine as bright as the stars in the sky, I fell in love with her cheeks that turns easily red when she's embarrassed and shy.

I fell in love with her beautiful smile that makes my day every single time.

When I helped her find her room, she was so happy and she began jumping like a little kid that I couldn't help but smile.

*FLASHBACK*

"Can you still remember the first time that we met, Ava?". I asked Ava we were sitting on a bench.

I asked her to take a walk with me since I'm already done with my duty and their class has already ended too.

She drank some of her coffee and smiled. "Of course, I still remember that time. I will never forget about that day because that was the first time that I saw you. And of course, I almost got lost. I didn't know where my room was back then, then you suddenly appeared looking like a student too."

"I saw you looking around as if you were trying to find something. You even looked like you were about to cry although I found you really cute. I walked towards you and approached you. I can still remember how happy you were when you finally found your room."

I was smiling while narrating that because I could still feel the happiness that I felt when I first met her.

"I know I looked so stupid that time but thank you so much for helping me back then, Mr. Jacobs. If you didn't tell me where my room was, I probably arrived late and my professor would scold me too."

We both laughed.

"Don't worry, Ava. You didn't look stupid at all, I even thought you look so cute."

Her cheeks turned red. God, why is she so adorable?.

"I'm not a puppy to be cute though."

I looked at her to make sure if she was mad.

"I'm sorry Ava, I shouldn't have said that."

"Huh? What do you mean?".

"Did that disappoint you? I mean, when I called you cute?".

"W-What? Of course not, I'm not disappointed. I'm sorry, Mr. Jacobs. I was just being so over-reacting."

I shook my head. "That's good to hear. I thought you got mad at me."

"That would never happen, Mr. Jacobs. Getting mad at you will be the last thing that I'll do in my life. I will never get mad at someone who's been so kind to me since my first day here."

"I'm not as kind as what you think though. I may be selfish at times. And I like it when things go in my way. When I want something, I make sure to get it." Ava looked at me as if she was really surprised of what I just said.

"Oh, sorry. Did I surprise you again? Hahaha!".

"N-No, I'm just surprised because this is the first time that I heard you talk so seriously."

I smiled at her. "Because I usually smile, right?".

"Yes. By the way, Mr. Jacobs, can I ask you something?".

"Huh? What is it?".

She looked away and took a deep breath before looking at me again.

"D-Do you already have someone you like, Mr. Jacobs?".

My heart suddenly started beating so fast because of what she just asked me. I drank some of my coffee before I looked at her too. "I have."

I leaned on the bench and looked up at the sky. I could feel her staring at me. "I've been in love with her since the first time that we met. She's a beautiful, matured, smart, and a kind woman. She's everything that a man could ask for."

"I-I see." She suddenly cut off. She looked away before standing up. "By the way, Mr. Jacobs. I need to go home now. My dad is surely looking for me now."

I stood up too. "Oh, I'm sorry. I understand, shall I walk you home?".

"No need to. Besides, I have someone to pick me up from here anyway."

"That's good then. So, shall we just see each other tomorrow?"

She nodded. "Okay."

I just waited for her to finally step inside a limousine. I watched as her car started moving.

There is a girl I like, Ava. A girl that I've been loving since the first day that I met her.

And that is you.
