Chapter 104

45

"Hey, Everest." I hear Rosie's voice and I come to a halt. "Yeah, we can still meet today. Three is good." Why does she need to meet him? Something about this guy sets me off. I have a strong feeling that he doesn't see her as a friend, and this is the last thing I want. It's already hard trying to win her heart, so I don't need competition. I woke up about half an hour ago. Well, we both woke up at the same time and I think this is the best sleep I have ever had. I did fall asleep on my couch before, but I have never fallen asleep with my head on Rosie's lap with her hand in my hair. I feel bad because the poor position, yet she didn't even complain. Why does she have to be so good like that? Mum shouldn't have called her." She ended up missing her lectures today and when I asked her about that once we woke up, she brushed it off and told me not to worry about it. I don't want her to miss any important lectures because of me.

I make my way to the kitchen and find her already making breakfast for the two of us. I already feel so much better compared to how I was yesterday but knowing that she is going to spend some time with Everest today doesn't make me feel good at all. If anything, I'm incredibly nervous. What if she falls for him? How am I supposed to accept seeing her with somebody else?

"Are you feeling all right?" she asks with a beautiful smile on her face.

"All thanks to you." I kiss her cheek and the way she blushes doesn't escape my notice. "I'm really sorry that I made you miss your lectures. I didn't mean to do that."

"It's okay. Sabrina and Everest will give me their notes. I trust them," she assures me.

"I uh... I heard you talking on the phone. Are you meeting Everest today?" I try to sound casual, but I have a strong feeling that I don't sound casual at all.

"Yeah, we've got a project we're working on together," she replies, taking a seat beside me.

Where are you guys meeting?" I wonder. Maybe I do sound casual.

Busted.

She has a smile that depicts confusion.

"Just asking." I shrug, trying not to meet her gaze. How do I explain my nosiness to her? She's never going to understand. "Maybe after he leaves we can go out and have dinner together." We eat together almost five days per week now and I love this routine. I sincerely hope that she's not getting bored of it. "Okay, you can come around five. We will be at the café around the corner," she tells me and I nod.

If I had the choice, I wouldn't even let her go alone, but I don't want to be overbearing. I don't want her to think that I'm suffocating her.
