I asked so I just kept my cool. But one of these days, I'll press everything I want and need to know out of him. Including his dreadful nightmares he said he has from time to time. It was also nice to know he doesn't have them when I'm around and he sleeps like a baby.I squirted toothpaste all over my brush before pastering it to my teeth. I'm still at Scott's. I didn't leave last night cause he promised to drop me very early at school but now he's still in bed.I thought about splashing him some cold water to get up but as quickly as that thought came, it varnished.When I got back to the room, my phone buzzed on the nightstand so I picked it up to see a message from my mom and David. I decided to read my mom's own later and read David's own now.I need to call my mom cause I haven't spoken to her in like forever and I know she misses me. Gosh I'm terrible at being a good daughter.C

"you can stay here as long as you want dear" Elle said. We were both in the kitchen and I was teaching her one of my infamous way of baking.I smiled at her."You can also help me work on my greenhouse" she said and then leaned in close to me. "David is doing a shitty job at helping" she grinned and I chuckled."That's not true. I'm sure he's very helpful""Yeah. For carrying buckets around but not planting" she said and we both laughed.I haven't seen Carter around and David said he was still at work. I didn't ask what work he does cause I don't want to pry. I've pried enough already."At least David is helpful. I'm sure Scott can't lift a bug" She said with a smile and my mood was instantly soured. She realised her lack of sensitivity and closed her mouth. I told Elle everything that happened. Excluding the part where he said I should fuck Kale. I cringed.

I stood in the doorway to Scott's room which as Elle said, was opposite mine. Scott was sitting on the bed with his face pressed against his palms. He was shirtless but in loose pants. I knocked twice on the door and his head snapped up.They looked hopeful when they saw me standing there but I wasn't still ready to promise him anything until I know what this his new habit is about. I walked into the room and shut the door behind me."Let me see your hand" I said and sat next to him. I had noticed the cloth he wrapped around it when he walked in and he'd tried to hide it from me throughout dinner."It's nothing" he mumbled."It's either I see or I leave" I said and hoped he didn't say Leave. Cause I'm sure he's capable of doing anything at anytime. But instead, he looked defeated as he raised his hand to me. I uncovered the clothe to find his knuckles busted."How did this happen?"

Seating in one of Prof. Astor class made me realise that I haven't given him an answer to his offer. He must've been waiting for long but I still haven't contacted my mom. She told me to text her some few days back but I ignored that. The reason, unknown to me. Oh yeah!...Knowing my mom, once I call her or pick up any of her calls, her first question would've been to ask about how I'm faring and I wasn't so sure I was doing fine under the last few weeks. Except when Scott told me he loved me. I felt great and now, we're together I hope. I just wish he doesn't do something stupid. He always does. Mostly, it's just his temper.David clasped his hands on mine and I stared at him. The class was over and I'd drawled my way through. I only hope I can meet up soon. This semester is coming to an end in two weeks anyway and we'll be In the holiday seasons. The Christmas seasons. No wonder it's been so cold lately.

I squeeze my hands tight drawing blood. Scott was strolling to where David and I stood. He had his hand filled with coffee. Coffee from Rose's cafe. He went to see her. He looked sleek in dark jeans and for once, it wasn't ripped at the knee. He was on a plain black shirt and on it, he wore a long jacket that reached to his knees. And I'm well aware that I'm not the only  girl staring at him right now.He's mine. I'll be goddamned!When he got to me, he grinned popping his dimples. "I got these for you" He literally pushed the coffee into my hand. All around were some people staring at us. Somehow, he managed to make an entrance. I stared at him and shook my head with a grin. Classic Scott."You went to see Rose? Why?""To ask for blessings" Scott said timidly making Joseph laugh. I hit his arms and he stopped."Really? Blessings? Just yesterday you asked me to move
