Professor F novel Chapter 58

A woman screamed.

August smiled with a forced smile on her face, feeling embarrassed when Pierre winked at the woman.

Geez!

Flynn smiled and whispered to her ear. "He's famous."

"Y—Yeah."

Pierre went to the side with his guitar and the other members joined him. Their vocalist, Oliver, introduced their band members before their performance started. They first played pop rock songs about life and friendships.

"And for our last song—" The vocalist announced. "To all those hearts who finally found happiness, to those hearts who became someone's answered prayer, here's for all of us this season, this is our new song composed by our lead guitarist, Pierre here—"

She noticed Oliver looked at a specific spot and she followed its direction, she smiled when she saw Gail raising her cup of drink and smiling at him.

"—Fall."

She was still smiling at what she witnessed when Flynn placed his arm over her shoulders.

I watched the trees turn to autumn colors
When the leaves fall and become ground covers
They just fall
This heart sings of an autumn's dream
—you don't find love, you don't force it
Let love find you and just fall
You just fall

The melody just made the crowd so quiet and mesmerized. It's a beautiful love song. Even her world turned slow and all sparkly while Flynn pulls her close.

It was the same the first time I saw you
So pretty like the autumn leaves dancing in the wind
Suddenly all the love songs were about you
And the leaves fell from the trees without regretting
I just fall

It felt like the songs speaks for their story, too. This season of Fall, they finally went on a date like a normal couple. They waited and they just fall in love. No more masked dates. No more worries of getting caught. They're free.

I can't help holding my breath for each moment
I tried to resist but every moment's perfect
I'm scared to fall but I'm more scared to walk away
You return like autumn and I fall every day 
I just fall

Each moment with Flynn since summer took her breath away, there were times she tried to resist him but he always gets the perfect timing. And she keeps falling for him every time.

You don't cross my mind, you live in it
With colors of fall, I fall again
It's the season of when everything bursts with beauty
As if nature saves up all year for the grand finale
Like all the leaves falling
They just fall without worries
I just fall...

The crowd cheered loudly and in the midst of it, Flynn pulled her chin to meet his kiss. She was surprised, her eyes wide opened. After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

"I love you, August." He whispered.

"I love you, Flynn."

••••••

The event ended after midnight and Flynn was holding her hand the whole time. It was the sweetest date.

He already called Hugo to pick them up. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and she waited on a bench near the entrance.

"August!" She heard Pierre's voice calling her name.

She looked up and she stands up from her seat. It felt odd that he called her with her name this time. He walks toward her with a smile on his face. "Are you leaving?"

She nodded. "I'm just waiting for Flynn."

His smile disappeared. "Cool. I just wanted to say thank you for coming."
