- HAZEL -
My eyes open when a knock on my door wakes up. Confusion is the first thing I feel and I roam my hand on my bed to look for my phone.
I check the ti. It’s six thirty pm.
I still feel so fucking sleepy. Another knock draws my attention to the door. With a groan, I climb down from my bed and sluggishly make my way to the door.
"Yes?" I yawn while opening the door. My eyes widen when an unfamiliar face visits at the door. Sleep left my eyes faster than it ca. "I don’t know you..." My brows furrow. I look around in my room but no one is inside. She’s definitely not a guest of any of my roomies. They never invite anyone over without being present in our room. "Did you get the room wrong?"
"Hazel..." The lady looks at a jotter in her hand then looks up at . "Sumrs?"
I swallow, staring at her skeptically. "Yeah?" I raise a brow. That’s my full na.
She scribbles sothing down on the jotter and hands over a white gift bag to . "You have an order. From a friend."
Oh. Okay, this lights up my mood imdiately.
"Thank you." I say, still trying to process this. Which friend do I possibly have in this college? I haven’t had ti to bond with anyone yet. Maybe it’s a secret admirer. I flash a smile at the delivery lady and close my door.
I walk to my bed. I can see a dress folded by my pillow side. Oh yeah, tonight’s the dinner!
I had my bath and got ready so early that I decided to have a nap before attending it.
Thank goodness for the knock or I would’ve missed the school congratulations dinner and it would’ve sucked especially when everyone would go on and on about how great it was with photos tomorrow. I an, a chance to dress like a Barbie doll and have eyes all over with good food and juice and perfect music where everyone puts on a suit or sothing fancy? Count in!
I place the gift bag on my bed and dip my hand in. There’s a huge box inside with a suave exterior material. I open it.
My heart lts instantly. It’s a jewellery set. A very expensive silver and diamond jewelry set.
Who--
I look inside the gift bag then in the box for a note or sothing. Anything at all except from the brand’s cards. There’s none.
Who sent this? It’s so beautiful. Oh my God.
There’s no na tag here.
My eyes study my navy blue, strapless dress covered in stones again. This jewelry set matches it perfectly. I don’t know who sent this to but I’m definitely wearing it tonight.
Whoever it is, I hope the person will attend this dinner.
I hold the necklace up carefully. Fuck!
IT’S SO DAMN PRETTY THAT I WANT TO CRY!!
I CAN’T STOP SMILING!!
A buzz catches my attention. It’s my phone. I must’ve put it on vibration mode when I slept off.
’See you at dinner or do I co and pick you?’ I’m staring at Kate’s ssage with a blank expression on my face.
’I’ll et you there.’ I send and sigh. I wonder what she’ll say about my necklace, bangle, earrings and ring! I’d rather call it jewelry. It sounds way more expensive than way.
When I get to the hall where our dinner is being held, I’ll walk up to her with my chin up and stretch out my gloved hand which has the matching ring and say; ’Kate, did you notice my jewelry?’ While faking a fancy British accent.
Just thinking about it makes laugh aloud. A hand fan will definitely add a touch to the aura but this isn’t a royal thed ball, it’s a regular classy university dinner and I have no hand fans, so no gloves and definitely no duchess British accent.
’I’m outside. et when you’re ready (heart emoticon)’ Another ssage pops on my screen. It’s Kaiden.
I wonder if he would’ve called if I hadn’t replied back after a while because if not for this gift delivery, I would be asleep. My eyes widen when a thought pops into my mind.
I wonder if he sent the gift. It will make so much sense!
Plus his timing to text ! Oh my-
I clear my throat to stop myself from giggling. I can get used to receiving random unexpected gifts.
’I’ll be out in a minute.’ I text back and drop my phone. Yes, I am still grinning. The thought of Kaiden giving this to has smiling ridiculously. Of course he did. I drop the necklace down and walk to the stairs of my bed which is also a series of drawers, and pull one drawer out. I pick up my bathing kit and open it. All my skin products are here. I take out the mouthwash, open it and fill my mouth. Now I’m gurgling and washing my mouth with it.
I’ll obviously take more than five minutes to put everything on so Kaiden will wait for a lot longer than I texted. I untie the belt of the short, white robe I’m putting on and drop it on my bed. My hand reaches up to my hair. A sigh of relief escape my lips. Thank goodness I put on this bonnet before sleeping or my hair would’ve been a ss.
I drop my mouthwash back in my bathing kit and drop my kit back where I took it from.
During my free ti, I had ti to think. I know which man I’m going for. I just hope that man is more than ready to have fully the way I am. The least I want is another Tristan experience.

I walk out of my dorm. Parked right in front is Kaiden. Normally, I would’ve thought parking in front of a female’s dorm would be embarrassing but I guess not.
"Kaiden." I call his na softly with a smile. He turns to look at .
"Hazel." Kaiden gasps. His eyes are all over . "You look-" I kind of enjoy how he adores . "Amazing."
I blush. "Why, thank you." I say to him and make my way towards him. "You look quite splendid yourself." I giggle.
The mont I was by his side, he pulls in for a kiss. I don’t struggle but I don’t kiss him back. I want him to notice the jewelry I have on. The one he bought for . I lean backwards and slowly pat my collarbones with my fingers.
"See anything you like?" I ask, tilting my head to the side. Kaiden looks at and cups my chin.
"You." He says. My brows furrow in disappointnt. "Everything I like is you." He pulls the car door open for to get in. I wish I didn’t know this before because now that I do, my stomach churns in a bad way.
He didn’t notice. He didn’t get it for . I fake a smile. "You flatter ." I whisper.
"I’m just being honest." His voice if full of love and compassion but it’s not enough. Who got this jewelry? Do I really have a secret admirer or a fan in class?
Maybe it’s from my parents or a friend from back ho. Maybe it’s from Kate. I have no clue but it would’ve aided my cause if it was him.
The door shuts and Kaiden walks to the driv
er’s seat. I guess I have to look forward to the dinner. Maybe it’ll get my mind away from this.
