Watching Eric eat seated with Rose, Wayne could not hold back the question that have been bothering him for over a year now. "Why did you beco Rose's friend?" Wayne asked watching the guy closely.
The cheerful atmosphere beca calm as Wayne kept his eyes fixed on the guy. The guy wore the school uniform in a manner that looked almost too attractive. His hair style was cool including the accessories he wore along with his uniform; none of them looked out of place or too extravagant.
Everyone in their private room turned and looked at Eric then at Wayne not stopping the question from getting answered obviously because they each had their own curiosity.
Eric sighed and placed his spoon down. "Did I offend you?" Eric had to ask since he could not point the reason behind the asked question.
"No, just answer the question," Wayne replied. He found the guy suspicious. Why did did the guy beco their friend only after Jace left.. "Why did you wait till Jace was gone?"
"Oh . . .," Eric humd understanding the question. "Jace had you two sister's marked as his friends and pretty much kept every other guy away with an unwritten rule."
This made a blanket of tension engulf the room as each other them could not get a good aning behind what he said.
"No offense," Eric said raising his hands up with his beautiful smile lifting up the corners of his lips to form a perfect curve.
"Explain," Wayne told him sternly.
"Fine," he replied dropping his hands to his lap with his smile still across his lips. "From the mont Rose joined the club and the class, I knew she was a very talented designer and I wanted to make friends with her but I got warned."
The room remained quiet as everyone waited patiently for him to continue speaking.
"Jace warned off. He said Rose was taken. He said soone liked her and when I asked him who since everyone in school knows Jace liked Anna, he told soone greater than him liked Rose and he was preserving her for that person. I told him I only wanted to beco friends but he still told to keep off," Eric narrated truthfully.
"What?" Anna asked baffled. "What gives him the right to do that? Preserving? Uh? Ha."
"Do you know about this?" Debby had to ask when he noticed Rose remained calm.
"His brother . . . this should remain a secret please. He wanted to be with his brother but I told him I was not interested," Rose replied in a quiet calm voice despite the storm raging in her heart.
His brother clearly snubbed her like every other human around on all the occasions they t. Jace was trying to set her up with soone who did not care at all about her which made her unhappy when she found out.
"What? Do you know what it ans for Jace to try to get you to date his brother. I wish he chose ," Debby said shaking her head in disbelief.
"I did not like his brother and that was final. I doubt his brother likes ," Rose said with the truth found in the second sentence. She always thought Liam was very hot and goodlooking from the first ti she saw his picture to the first ti she saw him at their ho to the ti she saw him the café.
"You are lucky," Debby said giving her a thumbs up.
"When a king likes a woman, every other person have to step aside to let the king try his best first. Have you all satisfied your curiousity?" Eric asked slightly frowning.
"That ans you like Rose," Anna said teasingly.
"I like her in a friendly manner," Eric strongly denied. "I also advice her to consider dating the new master Liam. He is the presently the richest guy in this kingdom. He made that happen in year."
"My curiosity has been greatly satisfied," Wayne said nodding his head in satisfaction.
"Good thing then," Eric said as he picked his spoon hoping his food haven't gotten cold.
"Rose that's right. I think you should try it out. He looked at us when he walked out of the café that day. I guess he did that to because of you," Debby said smiling dreamingly. "I want to be part of your bridal train."
"Oh goodness, Rose haven't started dating him yet why are you already dreaming of her marriage?" Anna asked glaring at her friend. "So old school," Anna spat out.
"Hey, I will be by your side on your wedding day," Debby said smiling more dreamily than earlier.
"Please, I don't like anyone yet. I have never dated. Please eat," Anna replied picking her friend's spoon and placed it in her palm.
"Really?" Wayne asked skeptically.
"Yes. What is your problem now, Wayne?" Anna asked feeling uncomfortable with the discussed topic.
"You and the teacher . . . I have always wanted to ask," Wayne asked leaning forward towards Anna.
Debby dropped her spoon and leaned forward too very interested in hearing her friend's answer.
"I don't know what you are talking about," Anna answered leaning back away from her friends and avoid their gaze as she thought of an escape plan.
"Really? I thought . . .," Debby began.
"What teacher are you talking about?" Rose asked confused.
"Nobody," Anna snapped standing up.
"It is okay if you like the teacher. I think he is hot. He is normally very strict and cold but he is nice to you or I would have made the first move. Too bad he is taken," Debby complained with a pout.
"I don't like him," Anna denied strongly. "I am going to the class," Anna replied and left the room.
"What are you talking about?" Rose asked.
"While you have been busy with fashion and all, your sister have been crushing on the mathematics teacher for almost a year," Debby replied picking her spoon.
"I think you two have made Anna unhappy. I will talk to her," Rose said seriously and left the room looking for her sister.
"She must have gone to the roof top," Debby called from behind leaning on the door of the room.
Rose nodded her head with answering and tried to find her way to the roof top. She found her sister standing in the garden they made out of the rooftop. It looked beautiful and nerve calming.
Her sister sat down on a bench at the far end of the garden. With a smile she walked to her sister. "Hey, are you sulking?" she asked as she sat down beside her sister.
"Yes, I don't know why I reacted the way I did. I shouldn't get angry normally over that, right?" Anna asked with her lower lip pouted.
"Yes, I guess," Rose said patting her sister's shoulder.
"What annoys most is that I don't know what to say about what I feel towards him," Anna said placing her head on Rose shoulder.
"Tell more," Rose urged her.
"I think he ans sothing important to . Since I t him, my nightmares stopped. Occasionally I used to have nightmares where I try to find the owner of a voice that haunts but when I got close to him after he visited us, I stopped having those nightmares totally."
Rose nodded slightly rembering how she felt towards the person that his presence ant no nightmares. She did not know who he was but she felt a strong connection to him even though he had visited her a few tis.
"At first I told him to teach how to perform CPR after you fainted. I wanted to be able to do sothing incase what happened to happens to you. He felt very interesting and he was nice. I think he also looks very handso."
"A genius likes another genius," Rose teased her sister.
"I am not a genius although he is a genius. You are more of a genius. You do better in mathematics than a science student like and in fashion, you are doing very well. Mum told you agreed to work with her," Anna replied sitting upright.
"Yes, I did. I am only a freelancer," She said chuckling. "Besides you do very good in robotics than anyone."
"Wayne is teaching coding," Anna said excitedly. "I want to learn how to hack computers and smartphones like he does."
Behind a group of tall potted plants, a teacher smiled to himself. Nodding, he walked away. If he continues being nice, he will be able to trap Anna for himself even after Jace returns, right?
"Jace please be gone for as long as you want," he murmured as he walked away.
