Chapter 36: Am I Cheating? (3)

But then, I realized something.

I suppressed the urge to raise my eyebrows and rolled my eyes. Somehow I felt like he was a pervert beast who only knew how to pin me under his body. Thankfully, he didn’t have one.

I walked to him, approached him with a suppressed smile on my face. Sitting in front of him, I stared right at his eyes.

“What?” He asked, uneasiness hit him.

“I’ve been wondering since... ahem, you know... ‘that’ time, you mentioned getting back to your body. What do you mean by that?” I ignored the blush crept on my face.

Tom arched his beautiful eyebrows. “When was ‘that’ time?” Smirking, his eyes looked at me teasingly.

“You know that’s not the point of my question.” I rolled my eyes.

.....

“And you know I’m still waiting for your explanation for coming late today.” His eyes turned cold again.

I gulped. He wouldn’t let me get away. “Fine. I was having a date with Senior Rizal.” I admitted, avoiding his eyes to hide my guilt.

“I get it.” Tom stood up and flew away to the door.

“Where are you going?” I asked in panic.

“What? Are you afraid I’ll visit him? Don’t worry. I won’t get anywhere near him.” Without turning back to face me, he answered before he continued walking through the door.

He left me stunned on my bed. My mind seemed to stop working. Did he mean that? How would I know he said the truth?

I realized I was scared if he confronted Senior Rizal. If that happened, then either me or Senior Rizal would be forced to see psychiatric.

...

It had been five days since my date with Senior Rizal, as well as my last contact with him. After that day, I had not met him even once. He didn’t come to campus as well. His friends were all looking for him, but I had no idea how to answer their questions.

“Are you sure he didn’t mention anything to you before?” Senior Mario asked me. His thick and blade-like eyebrows frowned as he tried to interogate me.

I shook my head. “I have no idea.”

Sitting in my side with his girlfriend, Senior Dino frowned as well. “It’s not his style to leave so long. Even if he has some family matter, he will at least contact one of us to ask about the lectures. Now, after he has a girlfriend, I assume he would at least call you. But, here you said you haven’t heard anything from him either. It is really weird.”

I shrugged, but my heart whispered the same. Senior Rizal was getting suspicious lately. What was happening to him exactly? I wish he could talk to me about it so I could help him. After our date, I thought our relationship would return to the same state it was before he started acting weird.

Ah, how could I forget about that? Did it have something to do with him asking for a break up?

I straightened my back, as if someone had just poured cold water onto my head. It must be it! It must have something to do with it!

“What is it? Do you remember anything?” Senior Mario asked.

“He said ‘let’s break up’.” I said slowly, as if being controlled.

“What?!” The three of them looked at me with widened eyes. Shock filled their eyes as they stared at me.

“Then, Senior Rizal and you...now...” Mia didn’t continue her words but I knew what she was going to say.

I shook my head. “No, Senior Rizal took it back, saying that he couldn’t break up with me.”

They let out a sigh of relief after listening to my answer. “Still, it’s strange, isn’t it?” I looked at the three of them.

“Now that you say it...” Senior Dino’s frown getting deeper as he immersed himself in thinking about his bestfriend’s behavior.

We sat in silence for several minutes, thinking about any possibilities that might happen to Senior Rizal. But, no matter how much I gave it a thought, I could never guess what was happening to my boyfriend.

Until two days later, we finally found the answer.
