7. Surprisingly calm

1973 Words
I wake up with the my phone's alarm, I reach over for it and dismiss it. I sit up with the headboard supporting my back and lazily rub my eyes while yawning. I get off the bed making sure Bree is still asleep, not like he would wake up anyway. I mean, even if you start banging drums near his ears he'll still be asleep. I kiss him on the forehead and make my way towards the bathroom. It's still 8:00, so I'll just wear casual clothes as for now and change later when it's time to get ready.  I wear my clothes after showering and get out of the room, towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I'm not that good but enough to survive while Dexton is one hell of a cook. He can literally make delicious meal with anything you provide him. "Good Morning." comes a voice that I'm familiar with way too much. I turn around to greet Dexton, "Good Morning." I say with a light smile. he makes his way over to one of the stools arranged at the other side of the counter top. His hair messy, eyes still squinting a bit and sweatpants on with his upper body on view. But I'm used to seeing him like this and it's just a everyday thing. He likes to sleep only with his boxers on but he put his sweatpants on when he comes out of his room. "Today is a big day." He says. "Yeah, and I just want.." I start but he cuts me off. "You just want me to keep my distance from Lance." He says on my behalf and I nod. I've been eating his brain since so many days asking him to keep his distance from Lance. "Yeah, but to.." I start again only to get cut in between. "Today is the main day and the chief guest is to be present too and not just any chief guest but Mr. Stone himself." He says and I again nod, "You've been telling this since I can remember but in these few days it's getting really a lot." He says. "Well, that's because of the occasion and no matter how many times I tell you, you don't listen and always go for fight and well as we can't afford you fighting with them for these few days, I keep reminding you." I say. "Well, it isn't like I'm listening this time, it's just they aren't messing with us since few days and you know that we don't start a fight with them and you also know that your constant reminder won't work once they mess up." He says and without waiting for my reply, he moves towards his room, "I'm gonna go take a shower." He says o his way back to his room. I heave a sigh and continue preparing breakfast. I wake Bree up and help him showering and we all have breakfast together when finally it's time time for us to start getting ready. I wear a long navy blue, spaghetti strap dress with a lower back. It looks simple yet elegant, just like the way I like as I pair it with a diamond pendant. The dress has a slit on the right side from my thigh towards the end. I do a little makeup and take my silver heels and move out of the room. There I see Bree sitting on the couch with his legs stretched straight and his hands tucked between his small legs as he continues watching the TV. "Bree, how am I looking?" I ask him. He turns his head and a wide grin make it's way onto his oh.. so cute face. "You are looking like an angel, Lee!" He exclaims running towards me and engulfing himself in between my legs as he hugs me. I chuckle lightly while hugging him back and just then Dexton's voice comes from behind us. "And what about me gentleman?" He asks Bree in a playful tone. I turn my head and look at him. He is dressed in a black button up shirt with it's sleeves rolled up and navy blue trousers. He has his coat hanging on his forearm. "Very Very Good Dexty!" Bree compliments him too. "Well thank you champ." Dexton says and look at me. He looks me up and down, "Beautiful, just like always." He says and I smile at him, "And you handsome, just like always." I say smiling. "Ah, well thank you and we should get going." he says nodding towards me. "Yeah, I just need to wear these." I say while sitting on the couch and wearing my heels. "Wait, this dress is malfunctioned." Dexton says out of the blue and I stare at him confused. He was considering the slit as some defect. "Well, I paid for this malfunctioning." I reply chuckling. "This is how the dress is designed Dexty and she looks so pretty in this dress." Bree says and I nod. "Well, I know that this is not malfunctioned but I'm considering as one cause it's not good. Go change." He says and look at him with wide eyes. 'How can he just that so calmly seeing that not just few minutes ago he complimented me' I think. 'Maybe he didn't notice it when I was standing.' "I'm not going to change and you just said that I look good in this." I say pouting. "Yeah, she is looking really pretty." Bree again stands up for me. "Yeah, but would you want other guys behaving bad with her?" He asks Bree crouching down to his level. We can't really tell everything to Bree as he is only three, but Dexton had already told him that there are some bad boys who behave not so good with me, like they always steals my study equipment from me which for Bree is the worst thing anyone could do to me in university. Bree thinks for some time and then nods understandingly, "I don't want that.." Bree starts and Dexton smiles at him and look up at me, "But you'll be there too so she doesn't need to worry." Bree completes and I grin widely. I see a frown settle on Dexton's face. "Yeah, you'll be there so I don't need to worry and change and now let's go." I say wearing my heels. We walk towards the car and make our way towards Ray's. We reach there and after leaving Bree at her house with aunt Anne. We make our way towards the university and park our car. We step out and move towards the entrance, "You did some really good s**t, Lee." Ray says excitedly. "Well, thank you so much." I reply lightly chuckling. The university looked really good now with the students scattered all around in different vibrant outfits and their laughter adding more to the beautiful view. After some time we met Jake and Max and then after some more time we met Lance and group. And guess what.....Their favorite game, the stare down starts. I pull all of them away and move towards the front. Our Principal welcomes Mr. Stone and with that he enters. The table for them was a little far but before moving towards his chair he came up to the podium to say few words, "Good Morning everyone. As we all know that today is a big day, the university is co..." he continues but I don't listen the rest and only focus on his deep, bold voice. He sounds so dominating and he has this aura around him of authority and I can't help but feel a little intimidated. He goes on and on but I only think how well built he is. Before he came, we somehow got at the back again and I was watching through the screen. He settle down on his seat but I just watch him. "Lee come on let's go over there." Ray says pointing towards one of the stall and we move towards it but bump into something or more precisely... someone. I look up at him trying to act confident but his eyes clearly filled with lust scare me and I immediately  look away but can I feel his stares all the way to the stall and even after. Dexton comes up to me, "Everything's okay?" he asks and nod. The function goes well with all the prank videos being shown by the teachers when the poor children thought that no one was watching them. Surprisingly Lance doesn't make a move on me but it felt like the calm before the storm, not like that he got a chance to be with me alone as Dexton has been always by my side. He even waited outside the girls' washroom for me and Ray. After some time Jake ushers me up the stage to sing a song and I don't know why but I get excited to go up there as I could see Mr. Stone but when I get up there, he is nowhere. Nonetheless I sing and everybody cheers for us. Whole time I keep on wishing that he might come but he doesn't, which does make me sad and confused too as I don't know why I feel the need to see him. Maybe because he is actually good looking. Soon it is time for us to leave and as Jake and Max insists, I agree to meet them at club by 20:00. We move towards the car ready to leave and I still can't believe that Lance didn't to anything except staring. I feel a little sad though as I couldn't see Mr. Stone closely. All the girls were whispering about him during the celebration, but can I blame them?, NO! A big fat, NO! We come back to our apartment with Bree who fills us with the activities he did while he was at Ray's house and we do the same. "Lee, did anyone misbehave with you?" Bree asks. "No baby, no one did." I assure him, smiling. "Surprisingly." Dexton mutter under his breath and pull up. We get out and move towards our respective rooms to freshmen up. I rest for the time being when suddenly I receive the message from the university authorities, "Dear Students,                              On the occasion of the fulfillment of 100 years of our university, we are arranging a club night for you all. You all are welcome in 'Fire Up' club. It has been booked by the authorities and all the money charges are to be paid by the authorities too. The timings is 20:00 to till you wish. Good Luck. We look forward for your arrival and this is no formal function so you can have as much fun as you want provided the teachers won't be present and you all will be on yourself. Thank you. Your Principal." My eyes widen as soon as I read it. I read it twice and get off my bed reaching for the door but suddenly the door swings open and Dexton barges in. "Did you get the message?" He asks. "Yeah, and man I can't believe this, I mean they are gonna pay for all and also it is one of the most prestigious one and it can accommodate a really good number." I say still a little astound. "Yeah, but we don't need to worry about that now, do we? and probably they booked another one too for the other students from different batches but we don't need to worry about that." Yeah well he is right actually. We both talked to Jake, Max and Ray and made plans about the night. There is still time for us to go there and so I think taking a nap with Bree is a good idea. I am damn sure, no one is going to let this opportunity slip. But to think of it now, Lance is probably going to be in same club as well.  'Hmmmmmm...'
