chapter=3 (Meeting him again)

After two months.

"Do you think he likes me?" Lily my friend asked me while staring at Dom, I am sitting with her in the university canteen eating lunch when she started asking me whether her crush likes her or not. "No, I don't think so". "But why? I know he likes me" she pouted at me, she is sometimes cute but sometimes annoying. "And why do you think he likes you?" I fire back. "Because he winks at me in our class when the teacher was writing something on the board" I rolled my eyes at her. "Because he winks at you so you think he likes you”

"Yes". "You are dumb than I think" I murmured but she heard me "What?" "He is a playboy Lily, he send wink to every girl he passes by, he even send me a wink when I was coming here" you see my friend has crush on a playboy who sleeps with whomever he wants when he has a girlfriend who is none other than Veronica but Veronica is no saint she always flirts whenever she wants and with whoever she wants.

I even remember that party which took place 2 months ago when she told me that handsome guy in whose lap I landed was her boyfriend when she was dating Dom the number one playboy of our university. "I think you are right, he is a playboy" Finally she understood me. "Do you know is he coming to our university?" I gave her a confused look. "Who???"

"Huh, I didn't remember his name but I heard he is hot as fuck". "Language" I scolded her. "Sorry mom" I glare at her. "That's not the point". "Then what it is?” "I heard that our university trustee has become bankrupt thus he had no other choice to take his trusteeship back, on that place one billionaire want to be trustee"

"Ohh" I don't care who is our university trustee but here my friend likes gossips. "What do you think when he will come here?"

"I don't know anything about it, Lily?" I quickly finished my lunch and stood up to go to my next class. "Bye I will catch you later" she waved me back. In these 2 months, I got to meet Kiara Chris's girlfriend who is a sweet lady, immediately I like her, we are now friends, we are going shopping tomorrow and I can't wait to meet her.

The next morning, I was walking in the corridor to get to my next class. When I saw something familiar, I mean to say someone familiar. When I realized who it was my eyes widen. He was standing with Mr Stewart, who is the principal of our university. I have to leave before he notices me, I started walking like nothing I saw and unfortunately, my luck was not with me. "Rose" my bad luck. I was frozen at my place then it hit why I am standing at the same place when my name is not even Rose. I chuckled at myself for foolishness and kept walking.

"Rose wait up" I heard him yelled again but I kept walking like I am not hearing him at all. Suddenly I was grabbed by my arm in his tight grief. "I called you twice but you didn't stop" I rolled my eyes at him. "My name is not Rose so why should I stop?". "You are Rose for me". "I am not Rose for anyone". "Yes you are" I glare at him. "Let go of me I have a class to attain". "I think you know each other" Mr Stewart asked us.

"No". "Yes" we told him together. "What?" Mr Stewart looked at us with confusion? "Yes we know each other" I glared at him. "No, we don't" I argued. "Yes we know each other, Rose"

"For the last time, my name is not Rose" I hissed. "I know your name is not Rose but for me you are Rose and we met at Party where you landed..." I cut him off with my glare. He cleared his throat. "Now you remember me" I shook my head. "No, I don't know you" I turn towards Mr Stewart. "I have a class to attain so I should take a leave" with that I walked away from them with a smile on my face.

University was exhausted as always. I went out of the class and walked towards my car. On my way, I saw him talking with none other than Veronica. So I was correct he came here for her I rolled my eyes and continue walking towards my car. But due to my bad luck, he noticed me again. I think my luck is not with me today. "Rose" I ignored him again and sat inside the car. "Rose" when he will quit calling me Rose? I started my car completely ignoring him.

After 30 minutes I arrived at my house, as usual, nobody was there in this big house. I started getting ready to pick up Kiara from her house, from there we will go to the mall for shopping. In 1 hour I was on my way to Kiara house. Kiara was living with Chris. He didn't tell his parents about Kiara yet but he is planning to tell them soon. I pressed the doorbell of their house, soon it was open by Chris.

"Hi Clara Bear" he called me with my childhood nickname. "Hey don't call me that" I playfully glare at him. When I was a child everyone called me Clara Bear because according to them I looked like a Teddy Bear from then onwards they kept calling me as Clara Bear. At one point I hate that name but soon I started liking it. It shows that they love me.. "But you look like a Teddy bear" he argued. "Now I don't, that was a long time ago". "I agree with you, now you look like a model but to me, you will always be my Clara Bear" I did my best to not smile at his words but failed.

"Clara is that you?" Kiara yelled from inside. "Yeah, it's me" Soon she was standing beside Chris. "Hi Kiara, you look beautiful". "Thank you and you look beautiful too". "Thank you" I smile at her which she returns. "Take care of yourself and our baby"

"I will" she replied him. He kissed her but soon it became into a make-out session. "Guys I am still here and we have to go" She blushed and waved at Chris. After 1 hour of drive, we reached at Mall.

"So what you have to buy?" I asked her because she planned to come here at first place. "Some clothes and staff for baby". "Don't you think this is early for baby shopping?" she is only three months of pregnant so she doesn't show much. "Nope" I don't have any choice but to agree with her. We were shopping for 4 hours. I also bought some clothes for myself. We decided to eat something before going home, we ordered our food and started eating. I told her about what happen in university. She is the only one whom I told her about him. I don't know her much but I trust her more than Lily. "So you think he came to talk with Veronica"

"Maybe" I shrugged and continue eating. "What if he came for some work and accidentally met with Veronica" I looked at her. "What work he could have at University?" she shrugged. "I just think that"

"What's his name?" "I don't know" I shrugged my shoulder and replied. "What do you mean you don't know?” "I never asked him, he doesn't know my name and I don't know his name, so it's not a big deal". "That's the reason he gave you a name as Rose" she murmured while I ignored her. After talking for some more time, we left the mall. I drop her and went to my place. I laid on the bed with exhaustion. I can feel that tomorrow something is going to happen and I will not like it. With that thought, sleep took over me.
