Besotted

I ran down the streets towards my university. My university was only ten minutes away from my room and I was again late. Mrs. Karen would be mad at me for being late. She always was. Without wasting any more minute I dashed and immediately all of a sudden hit a hard thing which hurt my nose as I groaned touching my nose, inspecting it if I managed to break it for the impact.

"Not so punctual are you?" I heard a familiar voice and my head whipped to the direction to find none other than Caleb. I groaned as I rolled my eyes because he was now mocking me for being late. I used to be late to work too.

"What are you doing up here? Don't you have any work to do? I said as I ignored him and walked past him.

I do have more five minutes for the class. Since I am already in the uni radii, might I walk a little?

A blush formed on my cheeks as I thought about it and felt him behind me and immediately I smiled when I knew he was following me.

"Oh well, I am working. Why can't you ever be on time?" he asked as I shrugged and turned around walking back. He had a red bomber jacket on with a white t-shirt underneath and black jeans. His face was clean-shaven just the way I liked, well I also liked it when he had stubble too. It's just a matter of choice.

"Tell me how are your wounds?"

"It's good. Has healed up but I feel pain on my leg sometimes,"

"And why did you cut your hair?" he asked as his eyes fell on my hair and I pouted.

"I don't look good?" I asked and he chuckled.

"No, you do look good. But I loved your long hair. No worries. It will grow back!" he said and I thought of teasing him a little.

"I like this style. I will keep on keeping my hair short," I smirked as I saw his facial expression changing to an awkward one. He seemed to be in a dilemma with his choice of words and immediately I broke out laughing my heart out.

"What?" he asked in confusion.

"Nothing! Just your face," I laughed and all of a sudden lost my balance.

"Careful!" all of a sudden he lunged forward and held me by my arms stopping me from tripping as I put my step on a stone.

"Thanks," I told him for saving me as he narrowed his eyes.

"What will happen to you if I am not there. Believe it or not! I am your man, I am your knight in shining armor," he went all dramatic as I looked at him incredulously when all of a sudden, I turned around and ran.

"Hey!"

"Well, then Mr. Knight in shining armor see you later. I have classes," I said and ran away as he stood there watching me leave. But the whole way I had a bright smile on my face as I thought about him being closer to me after so many months. And I loved it.

"What? Why are you still here?" I asked as I got out of my uni. He was standing just near the gate with the guards.

"Waiting for you mon amour," he said throwing a bright smile my way as he came forward and brought his hand from his behind with a rose flower.

"Red rose for my bel amour,"

I took the flower in amusement to his new form as we started walking.

"Have you ever heard this song?" he asked and I looked back at him in confusion.

"What song?" I asked and he jumped in front of me and his actions caught me off guard as I gasped and stared at him blinking my arms.

"Mio Amore, Mio Amore," he sang and my eyes widened when the people near us looked our way.

"Ssh! Stop!" I signaled him to stop but he didn't listen and continued singing a cheesy french song in his manly voice, attracting attention from the nearby people. My face grew red and I sped up my pace but looking back at him once in while hearing his voice getting louder and louder.
