CHAPTER 9~10
••••••••
Pascal fell directly into the pool and his eyes cleared immediately as he snapped out of his wild imagination.
“Ahhhh!!” Josephine screamed parthakingly as she heard the sound of something falling inside the pool behind her.
She quickly turned and her eyes met with Pascal.
“Kiddo” She called, her heart beating fast because of how she screamed.
Pascal said nothing as his eyes went to her chest and when she tried tracing his eyes he quickly looked away.
“I’m sorry I didn’t know you were here” He smiled.
“It’s fine but you scared me” She said and he sighed.
What if she caught him staring at her earlier? How would he explain? It’s a good thing her back was on him? What’s going on with him?
“You seem lost, what is up?” She asked, taking notice of his silence.
“I’m fine, you are leaving?”
“Yes, I was about to leave before you jumped in” She replied.
“Don’t go” He said.
“Huh!!”
“I mean you can just watch me if you don’t want to swim again, please” He pouted.
She uttered no word afterward and Pascal went closer to her, he was so close to her that his breath was hitting her on the skin.
Josephine looked into his eyes and surprisingly he didn’t look away.
“You are so cute” He suddenly said boldly.
“I’m your teacher” She said calmly.
“It’s not a crime to appreciate your teacher’s beauty” He smiled.
“I’m older, know that” She said and pushed his head back.
She tried leaving but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
“Kiddo, what are you doing?”
“Don’t leave, please, I’m talking to you as your roommate and not you student, can you consider now?” He muttered softly and she exhaled.
“Ok, fine” She replied and he smiled widely.
He almost hugged her but he pulled himself back and walked away from her.
Josephine came out of the pool and sat on the edge, Pascal started swimming and she started watching him.
“What plans do you have for Sunday?” He asked, turning to her direction.
“I don’t really know what about you?”
“Watch movies and stay indoors” He replied.
“Not a bad idea” She said.
Pascal came out of the pool and joined her on the edge.
“It’s getting cold already” She said, looking at the skies.
“Let’s go in before you catch a flu” He said standing up.
Josephine nodded and stood up, together they went into the house.
Both went into their rooms to dry up their bodies.
Pascal got a towel and started drying himself. His mind suddenly pushed to the poolside and he giggled.
What was he thinking?
The crazy imagination and he fell into the pool.
“That was crazy, my heart was beating so fast when I was close to her.. Gosh!! What’s wrong with me?” He questioned as he changed into something casual.
He came out of his room and stopped at Josephine’s room. He knocked gently on the door.
“Pascal” She called and he replied.
“You can come in” She said and he went in.
“What is it?” She asked, tying her hair behind her but she was having difficulty doing it.
“Can I help?” He asked.
“With what?” She asked.
“Your hair” He replied.
“No need” She smiled and tried tying her hair again but she couldn’t.
“Sit down, let me help” He said and she sat down.
Pascal went behind her and started tying her hair. His fingers grazed on her neck and Josephine felt her body tensed.
“Done” He said, coming to her front.
“Let’s watch a movie”
“I’m hungry” She said and he let out a stifle laugh.
“I will make simple noodles” He said and she nodded.
“See you” He said and walked out.
Josephine puffed out air from her mouth and touched her neck slowly.
Immediately he woke up he left the bed and walked to where his song book is, he started staring at the innocent book with different thoughts crossing his mind, he kept remembering Pascal’s words yesterday but it wasn’t getting to him.
He took the book and started flipping through the pages, looking at his lyrics.
What’s the use of having this when no one is ready to listen to him, even artists with poor lyrics are making it big in the industry so why is he different?
“I’m sorry but I don’t need you, I will burn you” Nathan said.
His phone started ringing on the bed and he dropped the book before going there.
He took his phone and saw a strange number.
He answered the call and a cheerful voice spoke.
“Nat X”
He recognized the voice immediately and he didn’t know when he smiled.
“Camila” He said.
“Good morning” She said cheerfully.
“How are you?” He asked.
“I’m fine, I’m sorry for calling you this early” She said.
“I was already up, you didn’t wake me” He said gently.
“Can you come to my sister’s eatery, the crazy girls are over you, I even had to lie that you will come today” She asked and he laughed.
“Seriously?”
“I’m serious, the eatery was crowded with them and kept asking about you” She replied.
“I don’t have anything to do so I will come” He said.
“Thank you Nathan, I will be waiting” She said and hung up.
His phone buzzed and a message pop out from Pascal.
*How are you doing today buddy, don’t think much about what Jude did okay? Happy Sunday*
Nathan read the message and he started typing a reply.
*****
“What are you doing on the phone? Help me out” Josephine shouted from the kitchen.
Pascal pocketed his phone and entered the kitchen.
“What should I help with?” He asked.
“Anything” She replied.
“I will help you slice the onions” He said and took a knife and he started slicing the onions, he was still doing it but his eyes weren’t concentrating on what he was doing.
He was staring at Josephine’s perfect pretty face and he lost focus, the knife gave him a cut and he gasped.
“Pascal” She called and left what she was doing.
She took his finger which was dripping with blood.
“You are always careful, what happened?” She uttered.
“I’m fine”
“I will bring the kit” She said and left the kitchen, she came back with the kit and made him sit.
She took the cotton wool and started cleaning the blood away.
“Ahhh” Pascal cringed as she disinfected the wound.
“You are cringing, such a kid” She laughed mockingly and he smiled.
He started staring at her face till she was done and immediately she looked up and he took his eyes away.
“Thank you”
“Don’t get hurt again, ok?” She smiled.
Pascal nodded and she took over the slicing of the onions.
“You are so good at everything” He blurted.
“Thank you” She smiled.
“Can you invite Nathan over?”
“I chatted with him and he’s going somewhere” He replied.
👥 The cute guy
👥 He’s here
👥 What’s your name?
Nathan smiled and started waving at them.
👥 Awww!!!
👥I love you black cutie
“These girls are crazy, is it that they haven’t seen a handsome black guy before?” Camila asked.
“He’s the one right?” Manon asked, coming out of the kitchen.
“Yes”
“He’s worth the praise, I like him already” Manon said and Camila looked at her.
She left Manon and went to him.
“You came” She said.
“You thought I was joking?”
“Thank you for coming, I see the girls are crazy over you”
“I’m handsome” He shrugged and she laughed before hitting his arm lightly.
“Come, I will introduce you to my big sister” She took his hand and they went to Manon.
“The black cute guy, thank you for yesterday” Manon said and hugged him.
She broke the hug and he looked at Camila.
“I’m her sister and she told me about you, the crazy girls are here because of you and I’m making a good sale” Manon said and he smiled.
“Another plate here” A customer said and Camila went to attend to him.
“She’s cute right?” Manon asked.
“What do you mean?”
“I only ask a question” Manon replied innocently.
“Even a blind person will know she’s cute” He said.
“I like you already Nathan, you are free to come here anytime you want, you are welcome here all the time” She said and he nodded with a smile.
Pascal and Josephine were in the living room watching whilst eating popcorn and sipping juice, they were talking and laughing whilst watching the movie, it was a romance movie. Pascal wasn’t really interested in the movie since he’s not that much of a lover of romance movies but he was watching it because of her.
He suddenly got tired of it and he yawned fakingly.
“You are feeling sleepy?” She turned to him and he yawned fakingly again.
“Just wait a bit, the movie will soon end” She said and he nodded.
He rested back on the couch and started rolling his eyes around.
About thirty minutes later he started hearing soft snoring sounds coming beside him. He looked at Josephine and she was sleeping.
“Hahaha, seriously, wasn’t she the same person that told me to wait? She’s sleeping already” He said and tapped her but Josephine moved her head to another side.
“Miss Josephine, go to bed” He said and she opened her eyes sleepily.
“I will finish it, just go and sleep” She said and he nodded before leaving.
Pascal woke up when he heard a loud sound coming from the living room. He actually slept when he came back to his room.
“What’s that?”
He got down from the bed and started walking out.
“Miss Josephine isn’t asleep yet? Why’s the sound so loud?”
He got to the living room and he met Josephine sleeping on the remote, the volume added when she lay on the remote.
“Miss Josephine” He called, but she didn’t move.
“Josephine” He called but she didn’t nudge even when he tapped her repeatedly.
Having no option he switched off the television and carried her in his hands.
“I’m sorry” He said and walked to her room.
He placed her on the bed and stood up to go but he couldn’t move, he turned and saw her holding his hand.
He tried to take his hand away from her but she held tighter.
She suddenly moved on the bed and pulled his hand, he fell directly on the bed beside her.
His heartbeat was starting to erratic, he turned and started staring hard at her, he suddenly snapped out of it and tried standing but that was the time she turned to him and she lay on his body, placing her head on his chest and her other hand across his tummy.
Pascal felt his heartbeat going pitch higher and he swallowed hard.
