Professor F novel Chapter 62

"Mom! That's how Augustine's boyfriend talks!" Rin shouting from the kitchen, still not over Flynn's heavy European accent. "Is he celebrating with us?"

She blushed hearing her cousin's comments. Just how does that little body make such loud comments?

They heard Grey and Rin rushed to meet them. "Is he the boyfriend?" Grey asked curious, wiping her hands clean with a cloth while Rin is standing beside her.

Even before they could answer Grey, Rin did it for them. "Oh, that's not him! Augustine's boyfriend wears eyeglasses and looked smart!"

"I like him already!" Pierre uttered sarcastically.

The awkward moment lasted only for a few seconds and she can only bite her lower lip to stop herself from laughing at her cousin's innocent remarks about Pierre by highlighting Flynn's smart look!

"Oh! He's also from Pearsons U?" Grey noticed with amazement on her face. She holds Rin's head, brushing his curly hair with her hand.

They approached them, Pierre scratching the back of his head, a little shy. "Yes, Ma'am. Thank you for inviting us for dinner."

"Oh, I'm not Ruth. I'm Grey, August's cousin on her father's side. Come in. Dinner will be in a few minutes. Aunt Ruth is still preparing with August's mom." She introduced herself with a smile while Pierre looked apologetic for his wrong assumptions. Grey then allowed Pierre to go to the living area but stopped August's attempt to follow him.

"W—What?" She asked.

"So, you know each other?"

She sighed. "Yeah. He's my student. I tutor him."

Grey's eyes sparkled with interest. "Oh, that's nice. But he doesn't seem pleased seeing you."

And she thinks it's not because of what Rin said earlier! He's been avoiding her and he definitely didn't expect to see her here!

"Well, that's probably because he's not attended any of our tutor sessions for the last three weeks because of this gig." She explained, also wanting to make herself believe that's the reason why and not because of what he said that night after the concert.

"Oh. But he got in Pearsons U, he must be smart, right?" Grey asked.

She nodded. Pierre is smart in his own ways. He's not the natural born smart type of guy. He needs to learn things and work so hard to achieve something especially that he loves music above anything else, even his grades. "He is. Just a little lazy when it comes to school work. He's asked me to tutor him in Math for his love of music but not for his grades. His grades are average but I know he could've done better if not for his band."

"He seemed very passionate about music, he even went as far as traveling here to play with this local band." Grey speaking her mind.

"Will you let me through now? I have to give him something."

Grey moved out of her way with dreamy eyes saying, "He's dangerously gorgeous."

She rolled her eyes. "You're already married with twins, Grey."

Grey cupped her smooth cheeks and giggled. "I wonder how your boyfriend thinks. I'm just excited for you, August. I can't wait to witness how your love story unfolds." She squeezed her cheeks and went back to the kitchen.

August massaged her cheeks gently as she went to the living room where the guys were silently sitting on the couch and busy with their phones while Pierre is obviously avoiding her gaze.

She walked straight towards him and stayed in front of him until he looked at her. Four pairs of curious eyes watched them.

Pierre getting all the attention from his band mates sighed discreetly as he stands up and opened his mouth to talk but Aunt Ruth came out from the dining area, inviting them for dinner.

They all seated and Pierre obviously avoided her by sitting three seats away from her and next to his two other friends.

"So, you're also studying at Pearsons, Pierre?" Her father, Augustus asked after the guys introduced themselves.

Pierre nodded politely and answered. "Yes, sir."

"Just Augustus." Her father smiled genuinely as she watched how Pierre looked a little uncomfortable hearing her father's name. And all she could think about was that time he called her Augustus instead of Augustine. He nodded shyly. "What are you studying?"

"Music."

She only listened to their conversation while eating quietly. "And you guys, do you study Music in Pearsons, too?" Augustus asked the other guys.

"Oh, no sir." Mike answered, the one who wears a black hoodie and blue bonnet. "I've graduated Music a year ago and formed this band."

The guy wearing a red university hoodie named Nelson nodded, "I'm a Business major in Logans University and I'm friends with Mike and Ricky here since third grade."

Ricky nodded with a smile. "Yeah, I'm also from Logans and studying Music there."

"So, you started the band together?" Grey asked, curious.
