Chapter 139
- HAZEL -
I yawn. My hand leans over my shoulder and my fingers massage it as I move my other arm backwards in a circular motion, stretching my joint. I peer my eyes lower to rest on the time showing at the bottom of my laptop screen. It’s five pm.
I begin to crack my neck, stretching my whole body. I’ve been in this position for quite a long time. At least it was worth it, I was able to study. . . and also keep someone waiting.
I hold my phone in my hand and stare at the chat between Killian and I. There’s no way he’s still waiting for me. There’s no possible thing that’ll drive him to wait here for hours.
A smile forms on my face as I put my laptop to sleep and climb down my bed. That’ll teach him not to cross me. I am so angry at him that I just want to squeeze something!
I walk out of my room, going outside to ‘meet’ him. I did say I’d need some time. Let’s see how apologetic he can actually be. I step out of my dorm, holding my phone in my hand and walk outside. My eyes peer along the wide driveway in front of the dorm. It’s empty.
He’s not here. No one’s parked in front. See? I told you, he won’t wait. I scoff as I turn around, ready to walk into my room when a ding brings my attention to my phone. I look at the notification blaring at me from my screen. It’s a text. My brows crease.
‘Turn to your left. I’ve been waiting for you, kitten.’ It’s Killian.
My lips part slowly ajar and I search for him. That’s when I sight him. Inside his car, parked at a distant corner at the left is him. I notice the car door open and I shake my head. I don’t want him to come outside, I’ll meet him myself.
My jaw tightens. Why does part of me feel so relieved? Killian waited. My cheeks begin to burn. I maintain a straight face as I walk to meet him. Knowing he spent his time in his car waiting for me makes my heart melt. I clear my throat as I near his vehicle. This explanation he wants to give better be worth it.
Killian winds down when I stand in front of him. I don’t think entering his car is the best option. I give him a cold stare. “You wanted to talk, so talk.” I fold my arms across my chest.
