Our video chat has ended. I hide my phone and head back to the boarding house to stash our uniforms. Along the way I started to think about Skylia's flying kiss earlier
"Snap out of it Ramon you don't like her anymore. He is just toying with you. She is happy with someone else" I said to myself
But deep beneath this heart of mine she still has a place. Is it because she was my first love? I seriously don't know love is truly a mystery that is difficult to unravel by your own
"That's it! I can't unravel it by myself because love is an emotional attachment between two individuals"
"As soon as Skylia arrives I should tell her what I feel about her. I won't know what she feel if I don't ask her myself"
"I hope I am not too late. Maybe that Vermilion guy already made his move"
"Should I worry? Nah! She said that she don't want any relationship at the moment so there is nothing to worry about" thoughts inside my mind
I then pedal faster. I finally arrived. I immediately went to my room and started planning my confession.
In a pad of paper I wrote down important details like time, setting, food, entertainment and the proper mood to express what I really feel about her.
I then went to the mall to buy her something and other essentials. In a jewelry store I start looking for a perfect gift. I don't know why this is the first place I went maybe instinct or women just love jewelry that's what think
Searched the entire store but not a single item caught my attention. So I went to the groceries and bought the essentials first. Afterwards I started roaming around the mall in search for the perfect gift
I looked everywhere but still nothing. I am getting exhausted so I sat down and rested for a while. From a distance I saw a small stall selling cute items. I went to check it out
They offer cute headbands, glasses and any other accessories. I then noticed this hair tie which looks like a cloud with a cute sun smiling attached to it. I immediately purchased it
I then head back to the university. Along the way I felt something. Feels like a jump of blood. I immediately look around but there are too many people. I can't fully distinguished where it came from
I started walking towards different middle aged women but I didn't feel anything.
Now I know that my mother isn't far from here. I just felt her so there is still hope if finding her
With a huge smile on my face I exited the mall. I went back to the university
"Not now Ma but soon"
"We shall meet again" I said as I look at the sky
Then I felt that same feeling just like earlier. Then a car passed by. With full throttle I started chasing it but it was too fast. I memorized its plate number which is UWU 1109 and the car was black but I don't know the exact model of the car but remembered its logo
The car then vanishes from my sight. My legs started to shake so I stopped pedaling and let the forward motion do the work for me
I arrived at the boarding house but my legs are too worn out so I can't stand to stand. At a nearby bench I rested
"Emre thanks for this wonderful day. Now I have a lead in finding my mother" I praised
It took several hours until I could finally walk straight. I went back to my room
I quickly unpacked the items. I placed the hair tie in a cute box that I purchased
"See you in two days" I said to our selfie and gave my phone a hug
Then my phone started vibrating looks like a have a message
"Come here to my office I have something important to ask you" from Ms. Paterson
I gave her a call
"Hey can we do it tomorrow. My thighs are too exhausted to pedal all the way there" I said
"I don't care if you crawl all the way here. I need to ask you this right now" she seems pissed
"If it's so urgent why not ask me now" I said
"Are you stupid! We can't discuss this on the phone. Now get your ass here right this instance" she raised her voice
"If you need it that bad why not go here instead because I won't go there" I said then I hang up
On the other side of the phone
"That kid seriously know how to push my buttons" Ms. Paterson said as she slams her hands against her table
"Call the driver we are going to pay him a visit" she said
As soon as the driver arrived with the car they went on their way
"Looks like I need to prepare something to eat and fast. Ms. Paterson should be here any minute" I said as I ran towards the kitchen
I started heating my special sauce and boiling some noodles. I then swept the floor and wiped the furniture. Then there was a loud knock from my door. I opened it then Ms. Paterson started barging in
"You!" She seems ready to skin me alive
"Before you kill me I need to check my cooking" I said as I ran towards the kitchen
Looks like my sauce is finally heated and my noodles are cooked. I immediately drained the noodles and added the sauce. I quickly arranged the table
"How about we take about it while having lunch" I said
Ms. Paterson and her assistant joined me in the dinner area. Ms. Paterson sat down
"How about you join us" I offered the assistant
Ms. Paterson gave a signal that it is fine. She then sits down. I gave them a plate of pasta
"What is this very urgent question you are going to ask me" I asked
"The classes will start soon and we are expecting great things from you. As your handler I will take full responsibility in everything you do in or outside this campus"
"I want you to do your best and stay away from fights will you with that kind of attitude I am certain that you will easily pick up a fight"
"And one last thing updates me from time to time. Looks like you already made a friend and she's well known" Ms. Paterson said
"I will do everything except for the update part" I said
"And why not!" She said with a mean glare
"You hide all your posts right? So what's the point of telling you mine if you won't share yours" I said
The assistant seems enjoying the food so she asked for second as for Ms. Paterson she haven't touched her plate yet
"Hey Elena one bite won't hurt right?" I said as I made a gesture pointing out her plate
"How dare you call me in my first name" she seems furious
"We are too formal. Can we cut this talent handler thing?"
"You see Elena, the moment I saw your photos at Instaglam shows me your true self and I want her to handle me and not this crappy Ms. Paterson" I seriously said
She was silenced and looks like her mood changes
"Am I really that serious?" She asked
"Well yeah, why not ask your staff she is with you the whole day" I suggested
The assistant's eyes then enlarge and she seems put in a tight situation.
"Am I really that bossy?" She asked
The assistant gave a nod
"You see Elena why not show you your true self. Maybe that attire is controlling you"
"Why not wear something more casual" I suggested
She then tasted my cooking. Her reaction was priceless
"Tell me, did you seriously cook this? It taste great" she complemented
"Glad you like it" I said
She then pulled out her phone and started taking pictures. We even had a groupfie. I haven't seen her like that. I hope she keeps that attitude. I really like her this way
"Open you account Ramon and check my profile" Elena joyfully said
I opened the app and had a look. She posted a picture of my pasta and our groupfie. I scrolled down further and I saw her bikini photos. She is finally warming up to me
The assistant places her hand on top of mine
"Thank you" that's what I read her lips
I gave him a huge smile
We are finished eating and it's time for them to leave. I gave a container full of pasta with a note attached for the driver. They both exited my room
"Hey Lorna how about we have a wash day once a week" Elena suggested
"Okay Ms. Paterson" the assistant answered
"Call me Elena instead" Elena ordered
Then they started laughing
