Intertwined Fates
(Elena P. O. V)
It has been a week since I had a fight with Oliver and I walked out of his life. Since I left him, I will be lonely and incomplete without him. I can’t help but miss him and his possessiveness. So I have decided to move out of my dorm room and stay at my parent’s house, not wanting to spend any more time with my bitchy roommate in this condition.
I sigh and walk inside the washroom, I take a hot shower, and as soon as the hot water touches my skin, I feel my muscles relax and all tension leaves my body. After a shower, I dried myself and got into comfortable clothes. As soon as I got inside the bed I was out like a light.
The next day, I wake up with my alarm clock ringing in my ears, I shut it off and get ready for college. I walk into the kitchen and greet my parents with a good morning kiss on their cheek and ruffle my brother’s hair while he scowls at me. We eat breakfast while making small talk and my brother drops me at the college.
As I was about to walk inside the gate, I saw Oliver, Manson, and Stella walking out of their car. What are they doing here? and what is Stella doing with them then, I remember her saying that she has found herself a boyfriend whose name is also Manson, but I don’t think her boyfriend and Oliver’s best friend are the same, person.
Anyway, I hide my face with the help of my brother’s hoodie and listen to their conversation while hiding behind the tree.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“What are we doing here?” Stella asks him.
“This is the college where Elena is doing his engineering, we are here to find her and clear her misunderstanding,” Manson said smiling and looking lovingly at her.
“But what if she saw us coming into the college and hiding somewhere or did not attend the college for today to hide from us?” Stella asks him.
“My mother’s cousin’s brother is the principal of the college, I can ask for help from him, I know he would not denial to give me her address,” Oliver said smiling at her.
“Ugh, Oliver why did you leave me alone, shit he knows the principal, if he managed to get the address of my house he will come there, I don’t want him to go there, my parents are already worried about me, it will only add to their worries, I have to do something, but what can I do?” I said to myself and started pacing around near the tree.
Then an idea comes to me, how about I change the address in my college registry, and then I can change it back when I get rid of them, yes I can do that, with that thought in my mind I walk inside the college and go to the library. I take a seat in front of one of the computers in the liberal and log on to the college website and change the address.
While walking out of the library, I called one of my classmates and told her that I could not able to attend the lecture because I was not feeling well and requested her to record the lecture for me and also make notes for me. This way Oliver would not able to reach me, just in case the principal calls me in his office and I also not miss my lectures.
As I put my phone in the pocket, I bump into a fall and, I was about to fall on my ass but, two strong arms catch me on time. I looked up to see it was Mr. Mcknight holding me in his arms.
“Mr. Mcknight, what are you doing here?” I ask him while smiling at him and trying to get back on my feet.
“Xavier, call me Xavier please, Mr, Mcknight makes me feel old, and about your question, I am here for some important work, but what are you doing here? shouldn’t you be in your class attending lectures?” he asks me.
“Yes, but my lectures were canceled due to some problems,” I lied to him. Wow, Elena, since when did you learn to lie so smoothly, I ask myself. I don’t think he believes me since he was looking at me with a look that says I don’t believe you.
“Okay,” he said nodding his head at me, but I know he didn’t buy it.
“Since you are free now, would you mind showing me around some tourist places, while I am here, actually I had to visit L. A. many times but only for business purposes but didn’t get time to explore it, and I would like to visit them with you, only if you don’t mind,” he said to me with a smile on his face.
“I would love to, but haven’t you come here for some business-related work?” I ask him.
“I have, but the real work will not start until a day or two, and I have come here to discuss something with someone, it won’t take more than 10 minutes, why don’t you go and wait for me in my car, I will be back in no time,” he said to me, I nodded my head and started walking then I remember I didn’t ask him which car it is.
“The black Mercedes, outside the gate, my driver is already there waiting for me,” he said answering my unasked question. True to his words, when I got out of the gate, I saw a driver standing beside the black Mercedes. He opened the door for me when he saw me walking toward him.
I sit inside the car and message my brother that he did not need to come to college to pick me up and that, my lecturers are canceled I meet my boss and going to show him around the town and that he will drop me home. After some time, Mr. Mcknight comes and sits beside me.
“Where to sir?” the driver asks him and Mr. Mcknight looks at me for an answer.
“Griffith park, please,” I said to the driver, he started the car and drove us to our destination.
After Griffith Park, we visited many different places, clicked some pictures, and tasks some selfies with each other. We also get to know more about each other, generally, Mr. Mcknight asks me about myself and I answer him.
While spending time with him, I noticed one thing, when I am with him, I don’t miss Oliver as much as I do when I am at home/college or anywhere and, I feel tingles whenever we touch each other just like, I feel whenever Oliver touches me, but at the corner of my heart, I still miss him.
When the sun started to set, we went to the Italian restaurant to have dinner. After that, he drops me off at my home.
