39-The Eyes Full Of Lust.
Lazlo and I had started our journey soon after we left the academy. I hadn’t tried communicating with Thiago this entire time until I was in the passenger seat with Lazlo.
I decided to text Thiago and probably ask him what was wrong with him?
Me: Are you driving?
I sent the message and placed the phone in my lap while looking outside the window. Curiosity was so high that I checked my phone even when it didn’t beep.
A hidden smile crept over my lips when I saw him typing a response, but it soon faded off because his response wasn’t what I expected.
Thiago: Nope!
I frowned in frustration, typing another message for him.
Me: Then it means we can chat a little.
I was now holding my phone in my hands and watching him read my text instantly.
Thiago: About what?
Me: About you and your changed behavior. Even weather takes overnight to change, you changed in a few hours.
My heart was now beating loudly like a drum in my chest while I kept my eyes on the screen.
I was nervously tapping my nails on the screen and watching him type. Finally, he responded!
Thiago: Everything is cool.
I frowned even harder this time. I turned aggressive and started typing even more in a hostile way.
Me: No! Something is up. You saw my blanket and didn’t even come after me?
I was glaring at the text when Lazlo cleared his throat. I almost forgot he was sitting beside me.
“Who pissed you off? You are texting like you are on fire,” he let out a laugh, must have noticed me typing and keeping my eyes on my phone.
“No one!” I sighed, watching Thiago text me back. :
Thiago: Maynard had already reached the stairs and grabbed your stuff by the time I left the bathroom to head downstairs.
He lied because Maynard told me he saw Thiago entering the basement and only then did he decide to look for me.
