Chapter 142
- HAZEL -
I don’t know when I fell asleep. All I know is that I cried my eyes out that evening and stayed in the comfort of his arms as he consoled me. Letting myself be vulnerable again with him while believing his promise.
I felt dizzy in his arms, felt warmth in his embrace despite the cold evening and for a long while, we just stood there, enjoying our silent company while letting our body language communicate the words our mouths couldn’t and the best part? There was nothing sexual about it.
The day got darker but he never asked to leave, he never showed any sign of discomfort or annoyance. He waited for me till I was ready. Until I said I wanted to go. That’s when Killian asked me if I wanted to head to my dorm or come with him.
I knew the obvious answer. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake I did the last time he asked me to come with him. There’s nowhere I’d rather be than where he is and no way on earth is staring at Jasmine’s wall better than being with him. So I gave my answer.
My dorm.
First we head to my dorm but only to grab my stuff. The change of scenery would be nice. Plus, after so long of being with him, it started to get addictive. Now I’m in his bedroom, fully rested and currently awake, resting on his chest as we watch a lecture tutorial together. After all, I’m still a student who needs to study, so who more is better to teach me than my man and professor? I mean, it’s not cheating when he’s not giving me the exam papers.
Plus he teaches me with such warmth and coolness and calmness that it’s easy to understand. Trust me, I’ve had my dumb moments tonight but even during his obviously displayed frustration which was passed across by his facial expressions and sometimes, although barely, slightly raised voiced which sounded slightly distressed yet calm, he chose to be lenient.
The thought makes me laugh. I guess someone is trying to be overly careful not to get on my nerves so he’s watching his temper and words. It’s cute. Very cute.
