Don't Leave Me, Mate (by AlisTae) novel Chapter 67

Ava listened to Ian’s voice, and her steps halted.

She frowned when she realized that he was following her.

But why?

Last night, she was really upset with herself. But then she tried to handle herself, saying that she had warned Ian enough.

However, today she met Ian again. She would be lying if she said she was not surprised to see Ian on the bus.

She had been riding buses for a long time, but she had never seen lan, even though her route was a few stops later than his house.

Today she wanted to take a bus, though her parents said to take one car with her. She just wanted to go back to her old life for a while, where no one knew her and she could live carelessly.

But now, everyone was aware of her identity as the Gamma’s new daughter, and people liked to gossip about her a lot.

“Why did you get off the bus?”

She heard Ian again. She turned around and looked at him.

“Are you following me?”

Ian walked toward her, which caused her to take a step back

He noticed her reaction and said,

“Why so scared? I haven’t done anything to you yet,” he muttered, smirking at her.

Her brows lifted in shock. His words made her feel nervous. It reminded her of what he did to her last night.

Just thinking about the way he got closer and kissed her neck last night, she felt a shiver in her body.

“Stop following me,” she said, turning back to him and walking to the direction she was going before.

The reason she left the bus was because she did not want to be in the same bus with him.

But it was a bad morning for her since Ian Dawson had decided not to leave her side and kept bothering her.

“Where are you heading?” he asked, walking beside her.

Ava chose to ignore him. She had no interest in talking to him.

After walking for a while, she found the bus stop close to her and went to sit on a bench.

When Ian sat down beside him, she took a deep breath.

She looked at him furiously and asked,

“What do you want?”

He folded his arms and replied,

“I guess you are flying higher. Don’t think yourself superior just because you are now Stephen’s sister, okay?”

He sounded a little bit angry, as if he were mad because she continuously ignored him and his words.

“Excuse me?”

“No, you are not excused,” he replied with a bored grin.

Ava rolled her eyes in response.

“Talking to this boy means talking to a wall. How can a boy be so sitameless? He has a girlfriend, so many flings, and now he has come after me,” she said in a low tone to herself.

However,

Ian heard her clearly. He clenched his jaw. He did not come here to hear her say these words.

He looked away from Ava and realized what he was doing.

‘Why did I do that? I shouldn’t have come here,‘ he thought.

He was about to stand up when he heard Ava’s phone ringing.

Ava took out her phone from the bag and saw it was Luke’s call.

She hurriedly received the call.

“Luke!”

“Where are you, Ava?” Luke asked her the moment she placed the phone close to her ear.

“I am waiting for the bus,” she replied.

“Bus? But why?”

“I wanted to take a bus today. You know it has become my habitual fact.‘

Ava paid attention to Luke’s words as she kept talking to him.

ད་

What she had not noticed was how the boy next to her was looking at her.

“I was wondering if we could go for coffee today,” Luke asked.

Ava thought for a moment before asking,

“Go for coffee?”

Ava heard the sound of something clicking. She turned her head to see Ian lighting a cigarette.

She frowned at him. “What are you doing?”

He took a long puff of the smoke and blew it out of his mouth while looking at her. But he did not reply to her.

“I am waiting for you on campus. You know you are late today, right?” Luke’s voice reached her ear, bringing her attention back to him.

Luke thought she was asking the question to him.

“I will be there soon,” Ava replied, coughing slightly because of the smoke.

“Are you okay?” Luke asked with a worried tone.

“Yeah, I am alright, Luke. See you on campus.”

After saying that, Ava cut the call and got up from the seat.
