Day together
"The more reasons we have to spend more time together, am I right?" Oh god would you stop already, he can't expect me to answer that. I'm too embarrassed right now especially what I said about his words reaching my heart like what the hell is wrong with me. A loud sound that should've been embarrassing for me disturbed whatever was going on and I was so happy that my stomach made a sound. " Hahaha...I guess I'm hungry ahem so we should go to the dining hall" oh my beautiful thoughtful stomach thank you for saving me but it seems I celebrated too early.
"It's a yes or no question so it shouldn't be a problem. You answer first then we go to the dining hall" it now felt like he was doing it on purpose no in fact I know he is doing it on purpose "but Ceasar I'm very hungry and a good boyfriend would feed his dearest girlfriend" saying all of that while giving him my puppy eyes. " Well I can't refuse the cute puppy eyes, especially when I'm seeing them for the first time" I beamed at what he said thinking I finally won..." You don't have to answer the question now when you can also answer it at our table in front of everyone after eating " my smile froze and I just started imagining it. It will be sooo embarrassing especially with Peter and Cedric the talkative ones. I returned his devilish smirk with a glare as I noted how much of an evil boyfriend he is.
"...yes?", " be sure please because it sounds like I'm forcing you or something and I know I'm not doing that, it's a simple question that needs a simple answer "you are definitely forcing me and just love to see me flustered and embarrassed. I wonder if you'd like it if I did it to you. Oh who am I kidding he'd love it very much and would encourage me to do more and it'll be more embarrassing for me. Since seeing me flustered makes him happy then I'll stop doing that and act unbothered. "Yes you are right Ceasar. We should spend more time together" I saw how he slightly raised his brow seeing my changed attitude "then to the dining hall we go".
Dinner time in the dining hall is always buzing , full to the brim meaning more students with their unshy eyes to stare. I looked at Ceasar and the others who were so ignorant about their surroundings. How do they do it and act so unbothered or maybe they aren't acting at all. This looks so normal for them that it's unhealthy, I wasn't having these thoughts in my head and doing nothing on the outside. I was stuffing good in my mouth because that's one thing that I don't shy away from, mnh it's like I can't have enough of it. "Man you really love food" commented Cedric "yeah by the looks of it Ceasar has competition" said Damian shocking everyone in the table and I'm included.
"What! I can also do the stupid teasing" he shrugged, " Damian you better stop now before you end up like Peter". They chuckled at my advice while Peter looked so offended one would think I did a big thing when I've just given him a taste of his own medicine. "Maybe Damian can't help it, we should look for a cure because what Peter has is a disease and it's spreading" added Mia making us all laugh. "Mia not you too" said Peter sounding very betrayed. He doesn't know that it's actually a compliment. Peter's stupidity can be contagious in a good way often saving tense atmosphere or arguments with dumb questions.
All of a sudden I felt a very intense glare and when looking up I was surprised to see that it was from Ceasar. He has stopped eating and it isn't me that he is looking at. My god it's my fault, I remembered what Damian said 'yeah by the looks of it Ceasar has competition' there was a challenging spirit in his eyes rendering me not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The idiotic me blurted out "I will choose food at any day over you" this took everyone by surprise when they saw how Ceasar was looking at my food as if challenging it they couldn't hold them self. The entire dining hall got filled with their laughter. Peter almost fell off from his chair because of laughing. Yet I didn't back down and still gave him a look that said 'know your place '...
It was past curfew and I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling with a red face. Today was sooo new to me especially the attention that Ceasar giving me. Let's not talk about the things that he says, thinking about it made me roll across the bed while I groaned. Still I made sure my face was covered by a pillow.
Then what about the things that he made me say Argh sooo embarrassing! Gosh will I even be able to sleep today "you reached my heart? Really Dintle? That is so cringe!" I whispered quietly making sure I didn't disturb Sera. I really wonder how things went on Jacob's side, was he able to win her over? Well it doesn't matter if he wasn't able to today, tomorrow is a other day so he shouldn't give up on her. My boy Jacob got this.
Right after convincing myself that my mind remembered how Ceasar used his terrifying aura to defend me from my classmates. He certainly has his own way of doing things, more like it's his way or high way. I giggled thinking about how cute he looked as he saw my food as a threat or something to compete with. Then I remembered how he spoke to Peter, the background of a half burnt forest blended well with him that it was poetic. Half of his life has been burnt and the little greenery he has left will certainly grow. I'll make sure of it.
