Chapter 89 Never Gonna Give You Up
After he left, Alexander pulled his hand away and arched his eyebrow at Elise. “You don’t get loyal guys like that now. Sure you don’t want to give him a chance?”
Elise glared at him. “Don’t give me that! Staying under the same roof? Now that’s just cheeky!”
Alexander replied calmly, “You called me your boyfriend first. That’s cheeky too.”
Well, true. I mean, the part where I called him my boyfriend. In the end, she stammered, “E-Even so, you can’t tell him we’re living together. What will he think?”
He shrugged. “But I didn’t lie. We are living under the same roof, just not in the same room.”
Oh god. I’m never hearing the end of this.
“Forget it. I’m going to be late.” She hurried away, and he saw her off. His lips curl into a smile, and his mood got better.
Elise walked as fast as she could to the classroom.
“Hey, why are you running, Elise?” Mikayla asked.
Elise was frustrated, so she grumbled, “Mikayla, life is hard.”
That confused Mikayla. “Sorry? What are you talking about? Is it a game? But that’s Life Is Strange.”
Elise took a deep breath and calmed herself. “It’s nothing. We should get to class now.”
It took Elise the whole morning to calm down and put the morning’s events behind her.
During the afternoon break, Samantha and Riley asked Elise to eat out together, and Elise invited Mikayla as well. Just when they were about to exit the gates, she saw a familiar guy standing across the street, and her heart sank. She thought she got the wrong guy, but when he took his sunglasses off and smiled at her, she knew she wasn’t seeing things. Elise snapped out of it and told her friends, “You girls go ahead. I need to settle some matters, so I won’t be coming.”
Samantha was concerned, seeing that Elise was leaving so suddenly. “What is it? Do you need our help?”
Elise refused, “It’s fine. No big deal, so I’ll handle it myself.”
The girls said nothing more and left. Elise stared at the man across the street until he finally came up to her. “It’s been a while.”
Elise was surprised that he was here, but she smiled too. “How did you find me?”
Noel smiled at her. “I met up with Julius. He told me about you, so here I am.”
I see.
“Let’s talk at a more private place,” Noel suggested. Elise said yes, and she left with him.
They went to a private restaurant. It was located in a quiet spot, and the ambience was great.
