Chapter 006

After a few more boring hours, it was finally dismissal and I'm off to my last subject in the morning. I purposely fixed my things up slowly, all of the students went out of the room aside from me, leaving me with Klenz. He was also taking care of his things and wouldn't realize that I was still inside if I didn't come closer to him.

"Hello, Sir, do you need some help with your things?" I made sure to make my voice innocent and joyful, which he automatically reacted to. He leaned on the table in front of me and crossed his arms over his chest. My eyes followed the veins and muscles that were so attractive and visible.

"You need something?" He asked with his calm but firm voice. He stared at me like I'm one of the prey's and he's the only predator, it was like he's memorizing every part of my face with the way he stared deeply into me.

"Wanna take me out for lunch?" I dauntlessly took those words out like it's not a big thing. He uptick his thick eyebrow and looked at me like an idiot. I pouted when he didn't take the joke. He continued to clear his things and dismiss my offer, before making his way out without looking back at me. "Hey! Mr. Klenz!" I shouted his name, stopping him from taking another step.

A wide grin appeared on my lips and ran towards him. We are still at the top floor where a few classes are being taken so I didn't really care if I did something mischievous. I smiled sweetly at his knotted forehead then clung my arm on his. I saw how his jaw tightened by my sudden action, but he didn't take it away until we heard some students' voices. 

"Goodbye, Mr. Watson." I tilted my feet so I could lean closer over his ear. I put both of my hands to his shoulder, feeling his hands on my waist. "I'll wait for your invitation." I said in a low voice before running towards my second subject at the lab.

"Kamesh!" I looked at the person who called me and saw James Avery, one of my friends and definitely the closest since we both came from the province. He's like the boy-bestfriend of every female character in the novels I've read, though I still need to find my prince charming. "Let's have lunch together? My treat." He laid his long arm over my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"Nope! I have some other stuff to do." I answered and encircled my arms at his waist too. We've become so close and comfortable around each other to the point that this kind of treatment doesn't mean anything to us. 

I saw how his eyes squinted, he really knows me that well so there's no point in lying, though I won't tell him either. 

"Can I go with you then?" He asked again and I nodded my head aggressively as my response. He let out a heavy sigh and pinched my cheeks before taking me to my next class. "Bye! See you in your free time." He playfully winked at me before leaving, making me laugh lightly.

"Hey, are you two dating?" Irish, one of my block mates asked me when I took the seat beside her. "You two looked so close, there must've been going on between you two, aye?" She started to tease me but my mind was traveling to what will happen later. I just really hope he invites me for a launch or else...

Or else I'll starve,

Considering that I'm in my fifth year in college, I was just thankful that Kashna is the only daughter of aunt Keyna and uncle Kaven. They are the ones who are paying for my studies and giving my other needs since they have more than what they need. Aunt Keyna is Mom's twin sister that's why they're pretty close, they both came from a poor family and aunt Keyna is just lucky to marry a handsome and rich guy like uncle. Though I still find mom so lucky since she has a pretty daughter like me.

"I want you to make a group consisting of five members. We will start our activity by sketching. the design you want, whether it be a school building, restaurant or any building..." 

Our professor explained everything to us. We started working on our process, "Kamesh, do you have another T-square, I think I forgot mine." One of my group mates approached me. We were sitting on the floor so I stretched my arms to take my backpack that's in the table. 

I looked for another T-square and luckily found my old one so I gave it to her. I was about to put it back at the table when I saw my phone lighting. I took a quick glance at it and saw the same unknown number that called me last night. Klenz texted me. I opened his text and I immediately bit my lower lips to prevent a creep smile from forming on my lips.

[ I'll wait for you at the parking area. ]

That's what's inside of the message. I went back from doing our activity without replying to his message. I was all smiles and motivated to do almost everything for our convenience. We were just doing some final sketches on our plate when the bell suddenly rang for another dismissal. At last, lunch break.

I swiftly ran from the architecture building towards the parking area which is far more minutes away from the lab where we stayed. I even stumbled a few times for running too fast, and when I'm finally at the parking area, it was so quiet and I couldn't see anyone. The nerve on the side of my head twitches, maybe he was playing a trick on me to retaliate what I did to him earlier.

I was about to run away from here when I heard a firm and cold voice behind me. I slowly turned to see the owner of the voice but my breath hitched when I was exposed to his buff and muscled chest. 

"You shouldn't have ran," he breathed out and I didn't even recognize that he already had a handkerchief on his hand, but what surprised me even more was when he wiped it on my already sweaty forehead. "Where do you want to have lunch?" I was still dumbfounded and couldn't answer his question. "Tsk, I just don't want to scare you again like what happened yesterday." He continued to wipe my forehead, down to my cheeks, until it reached my neck.

I know that I'm not the only one getting tense with his actions. I can feel it in his eyes. "Wherever you want, and beside, you'll pay for it, right?" I tried to make the atmosphere lighter even if there's no assurance that my voice didn't tremble. 

"Yeah sure, your highness." He flicked my forehead, making me glare at him. He pulled me towards his car and opened the passenger seat for me before he went to the passenger side. I smiled widely and looked outside the window before murmuring.

"You should make sure that I'll like where you'll take me, my prince charming."
