Professor F novel Chapter 65

Thanksgiving Festival

They were in the concert grounds, sitting on the benches set up. August’s Aunt Ruth was busy on the backstage while her parents are with them. Rin was sitting next to her and her cousin Grey and her family were in front of them. The stage was all set up and just waiting for the concert to start.

Despite the fun ambiance, August can't help feeling a little anxious since Flynn never left messages or even contacted her since yesterday. Although he said he'd give her the time to spend with her family, she can't understand why he would have to stop contacting her at all. It somehow pissed her off but she has to understand him—reminding herself that he only wanted her to enjoy the time with her family since she's been busy in school and working part-time.

I think I'm just on that stage where I wanted to talk to my boyfriend all day.

She hated the idea that Flynn might be cheating on her with those pretty college girls but it's haunting her every now and then. She's dead jealous just thinking about that possibility!

Geez! They're not even flirting with Flynn yet! Why am I so worried? I should just trust Flynn, right?

Pierre, on the other hand, seemed happy since dinner last night. They're officially friends! And he's been thanking her through text messages after he asked for it.

She sent him a message. Good luck! She almost dropped her phone when its started ringing with Pierre's name on the screen. She answered, "Hey!"

"Thank you."

She can imagine that smile on his face. "We can't wait to see you on stage!"

He chuckled softly. "Just gonna play in the background, nothing much."

"I'm happy that you're enjoying music now."

He was quiet for a few seconds. "Thank you, August." He paused, as if thinking. "Do you have any plans after the concert?"

"Aren't you leaving with the band tonight?"

"Yeah, well, just for a cup of coffee I guess. Before we leave?"

"Sure. I'll drop by the backstage then."

"Cool!"

Artists ready?

She heard someone in the background asked.

"Gotta go! See you later." Pierre said.

The call ended and the host started talking on stage, welcoming everyone. Then the band was called and Pierre was the last to come on stage. The crowd started clapping their hands and cheering.
