Always You

Chapter 8

Chirping of the birds, rays of the sun and the warmness of it wakes me up from my slumber.

"Shocks, shocks!" I murmured while fixing my bed the best as I can.

I will be late for my first class and I haven't yet prepared something for James.

I did my shower in just five minutes which was a record of me and hurriedly went to the kitchen.

"Good morning sunshine!" James chirped to my out of breath face.

He was cooking breakfast and everything was on the table.

"I'm sorry..." and he cut me off.

"Just take your seat and eat." He said pointing the chair.

"Thanks for the invite but I think I need to go, I will be late for my first class." I declined and he gets up at that.

"I figured. So I prepare something for you." It was a box of food, packed breakfast.

"Oh." I was clearly surprised.

"You don't have to James," I said.

"It would be nice, if you say 'Thank you, James.' instead." As he showed me a cute smile.

Gosh. I don't want to be late by just staring at him for more minutes. I slap internally myself with that thinking.

"Thank you, James." As I received my packed breakfast and get my things back in my room.

It's just day two and I already failed my job.

I have fifteen minutes left for my first class to begin and it's impossible for my running to be there even just in time.

I was on the doorway shaking my head when a car horns.

"Lily, what are you doing? Get in!" James said as if he was also in a hurry.

I just looked at him in disbelief and he horned his car again making me jumped.

"You will be late or we will make it on time if you will move your feet there!" He said and I did not just move my feet but ran towards him.

I was barely clutching my seatbelt when the car starts for our dear lives.

The running was giving me out of breath but sitting inside his car is far worst.

"Are you trying to kill us?" I said in heavy breathing.

"Nope. I'm trying to make it on time!" He said then he focused himself on the road again.

"You don't have to if we will die because of this!"

"Trust me, sunshine, we will not die. Just let me focus on the road, okay?" He said and I obliged.

There is nothing I can but to keep quiet.

I used the minutes with him by secretly looking at him.

I know it wasn't a dream last night that we talked, I know it was real.

I was in deep thinking when the car stopped making my body to push forward hitting the dashboard, I mean his arm.

"We're here sunshine." He said very close to me as his arm still on my front.

It was the time I actually heard him calling me 'sunshine'. I furrowed my eyebrows at that.

My hair is not gold for him to call me that.

"You don't like to get out?" He teased as I was clearly out of mind for seconds.

"Oh." And I get out of his car the fast as I can, forgetting the seatbelt.

Imagine what I look like? I was really embarrassed!

He helped me undone the seatbelt and thanked him while he was busy at it.

"Thank you, James," I said and get out from his car the moment I was free.

I heard him chuckled making me smiled from ear to ear.

I was really grateful for his deeds, I'm just on time and I have this packed breakfast he prepared for me.

"Girl, I think you need to tell me something later." Mira talked out of nowhere making me jumped.

"Mira!"

"Girl, let's go!" As she dragged me in the process.

I looked back and I still saw him there, and I feel my own heart beating or maybe it was because of the running.
