Chapter 28 - Twenty-Six
LEO
I step out of the bathroom. There is pouring outside. Weird rain. It comes whenever it wants and goes at its own will too. How lucky. We just returned from John’s. I said I would talk to Ruth but honestly I don’t really think there is any need to inform him. He would help John even if John doesn’t want to. This is the kind of person he is. And this is the reason he always gets into unwanted troubles.
But I think this time he will be fine. John is genuinely a good guy. He doesn’t harbor any bad intentions like Ruth. I mean at least he doesn’t fantasize about my man-whore best friend just like he does. So, I guess it will ultimately turn out good.
My eyes search for a silver haired man, who has a wild smile plastered on his devastating face. I catch the side profile of Erwin sitting at the desk, doing something, probably his school work.
Doesn’t he study a lot?
Last night when I woke up from a nightmare I saw him studying that time too. Other than that he was studying all the time at my office. I approach him from behind.
"Do you need something Leo?" Erwin asks, not lifting his head from the laptop.
"No, I just wanted to see what you are doing." I answer simply.
"I am working on my presentation." He says, seeming too focused on his studies.
So I decide not to disturb him, I spin around on my feet, ready to climb up the bed and turn my switch off for the night. But then Erwin grabs my wrist and yanks me off my feet. I yelp and plop into his lap.
