Chapter 2 my class

Chapter 2

The next day, since my class was only until 3pm, I went straight to the cafe to work.

I went out at 6pm and decided to walk home to the boarding house to save on the fare.

The weather is gloomy that's why I also feel gloomy. I was anxiously walking along the sidewalk when my cell phone rang.

"Oh Grandma!!! How is this, it's broken!" I said nervously before my eyes automatically flashed to the house that I could use as props for my lie to Grandma.

I saw a large and elegant house a few meters from where I was, so I quickly walked to the opposite gate before I answered grandma's video call.

"Oh grandma! How are you?" I opened enthusiastically.

"Oh grandpa, I'm sorry and I just called you, you know here we don't have much signal so I had to come here to town just to talk to you." Grandma smiled and promised, so I felt even more guilty.

"Oh yes, grandma."

"Oh well, a month ago you told me that you bought a house that you can live in. I'm excited to see you." He said enthusiastically that's why I closed my eyes because of my lie.

"Oh grandpa, where is-- t-wait is that, that nice house behind you?" He said enthusiastically that's why I couldn't do anything but ride him.

"Ah- o-opo grandma, this is the house I bought with the money you gave me."

"Oh, grandpa... It's beautiful! I'm telling you, and you really won't let me down. Hey, I could hardly sleep in the past months and years because you were living alone in Manila in rented houses. Now I can sleep with peace of mind and peace of mind because you have a house to live in." He almost tearfully said that's why I became even more depressed behind my fake smiles.

"Ah-- umm, grandma...I-I wanted to tell you something--"

"Oh what's that grandpa?"

"Ah nothing. I just want to thank you for your love for me." I changed my mind because I didn't want to ruin his happiness.

"Hey, what are you doing, of course I'm your grandson! Oh, he's fine, I'm going to love you so show me around the house and maybe in a month I'll be able to call you again. I want to see the inside of the house."

" what?!"

"Oh why do you look so shocked?"

"Ah hehe, h-no grandma... okay." I said before slowly facing the gate when I saw the notice that the house was unoccupied even though it didn't look abandoned.

When I touched the gate it was not locked and opened slowly.

When I glanced at grandma on my phone, she was still smiling and excited so it was up to me, even though I was nervous, I entered the gate.

"Grandma, this is the yard of the house, isn't it beautiful?" I continued to lie while turning the camera around when I stopped and was surprised because I bumped into a man who was right behind me.

I almost fell, luckily he caught me while my cellphone fell on the bermuda grass and it was facing me that's why grandma saw the man.

I immediately let go of the man and immediately picked up my cellphone because grandma was still talking. I couldn't kill it because I felt guilty especially since grandma even went to town just to talk to me.

"Apo...who is the handsome young man who visited your house?" Grandma asked with a smile, which is why the man who was standing in front of me frowned.

I crossed my fingers secretly at him before turning back to grandma.

"Ah- grandma what, my b-boyfriend, grandma..." I tried to lie.

"Oh grandpa, you have a boyfriend that you didn't tell me about, he looks good and trustworthy, even handsome. I just hope he will protect you and take good care of you, especially if you are alone."

"Ah hehe, o-yes, grandma, he's a kind and good person, don't worry." I promised that I secretly glanced at the man who had no emotion on his face before.

"Umm, I'm happy like that. Oh hey, go ahead, show me around your house." Grandma said that's why the man's eyes widened and I was embarrassed to look again.

"Ah umm grandma what's wrong--" I couldn't continue what I was going to say when suddenly there was a loud lightning at the same time as huge raindrops fell.

I immediately said goodbye to grandma while the man ran to the main gate just next to the gate I entered earlier. He opened it and that's why the fancy car outside appeared.

He got into it and drove the car into the open gate.

The house was a few meters away from the gate, so I just followed the moving car to the parking lot of the house.

A few moments ago, the man came down and slightly messed his wet hair trying to remove the water, which is why I was stunned without realizing it.

It was only then that I stared at him hard and realized how handsome he was. He is tall and well proportioned. There is no cork from head to toe. He's just wearing a white polo with his silver necktie on and black slacks, tucked in. He also wears black shoes.

"Ehmm, hmm... M-Miss?!" There was nothing he promised to cause me to look at him and realize that I had been standing where I was, soaking wet from the rain.

I blushed because of embarrassment but I was shocked and quickly headed to the parking lot where he was without realizing it because I realized that my cellphone and school bag where the books and other stuff were.

Because of the speed of my running, I didn't notice that there was a small bump on the cement, which is why I tripped and accidentally hugged him with my thing scattered on the floor.

Because of his shock, he raised his hands slightly before looking down to look at me who was still hugging him.

I immediately looked back because I was blushing from extreme embarrassment.

This is the scene that a woman came out of the house who was still in shock.

"Professor Harris, what is going on here and who is he?!" It exclaims.

Because of the woman's exclamation, I immediately let go of the hug from the man she called Professor Harris.

"Ah ehmm, Manang Hilda, she's just-- ah umm nothing nevermind, are you leaving?" The man said seriously but gently.

"Ah o-okay. Yes, I'm leaving." The woman said that she gave me a suspicious look.

"Okay then I'll see you next Friday. For your payment today, I'll send it to tonight. You can check your account after that." It's a soft promise again. His voice is sweet and soothing.

"Ah .yes Sir I'm leaving, thank you." The woman responded with a smile and looked at me from head to toe as if she was judging my whole personality as she opened her giant umbrella.

When he got out of the gate, that's when I felt shy again because the man turned to me.

But I was surprised when he suddenly turned away from me and took his coat from the car before handing it back to me.

"Here..." He said.

"what?" My answer is confused.

"If you're planning to stay in my sight, you have to cover yourself cuz I can see everything." This promise again so I automatically looked at my chest and closed my eyes in shame as I wrapped the coat around my body which I immediately picked up.

By the way, I was wearing a white t-shirt, so when I read it, it became see through.

"So,,, what are you planning to do now, it's stormy, I think the typhoon just arrived." After a while, he made a serious promise as he sighed.

"T-Typhoon, S-Sir?" I'm surprised, I promise.

"Yes. Well it's rainy season so that's not supposed to be surprising." This promise is sarcastic.

"Naughty ah...it's even colder than the weather!" I whispered to myself when he looked at me and slightly raised an eyebrow.

I just bowed down because of shame. After a while he spoke again.

"I don't know about you whereabouts or why you're even here in my house right now but I can't be standing here til' the storm stops--"

"Ah yes, sir, I understand. You can go into your house, I'll just wait here. Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as the rain stops." Immediately if what he said is enough because I don't want to bother him anymore it's embarrassing.

"Okay then, that's for you to decide." This promise is still serious and I have left.

"Hey what's happening to me, it's embarrassing!" I exclaimed again while still standing next to the car and waiting for the rain to stop.

"Hey, he's very nice, isn't there even an offer to let me into his house. Hmm, I'm trespassing. Hey, this is crazy, Lord!" I ejaculated again after a few moments, but after a while I was fixed when the door opened and the man who was now at home spat out.

I didn't know what to say so I just gave him a big smile.

"I think the rain won't stop because there's a typhoon and you can't stay like that or else you'll acquire pneumonia. There are two rooms in this house, you can stay in the guest room then leave tomorrow." He said seriously before he tilts his head signaling me to go inside.

Because it was so cold and my body was soaked in my wet clothes, I didn't feel ashamed, so I went inside.

Besides, he doesn't look big, and if ever he is, like why not, he's handsome and hot. What am I thinking? He looks like he has nothing to do with the body he has. Colder than ice.

When I entered his house I was amazed at what I saw. Everything is clean, well-organized and minimalistic. It's embarrassing to put your feet on the floor.

After I changed with his pair of pajamas, I left the room to put my wet clothes inside the dryer so that I can dry them for use tomorrow.

I was about to go back to the guest room when I saw him in the living room facing his laptop that's why even though I was shy I went to him.

"Umm? You got something to tell me? Sit down." He said flatly that's why I sat down.

"Ah S-Sir--"

"Gian, Gian Harris. That's my name." He cut me off that's why I smiled.

"Ah S-Sir Gian, I just want to thank you--"

"It's okay. Forget about it. I don't want others to owe me." He said seriously and coldly and I can really feel what he's saying that's why I just nodded.

"Umm, o-okay. I-I can leave you guys." I just said before giving him a small smile but was about to stand up when he spoke.

"Ah- M-Miss--"

"Ariyah sir, my name is Ariyah Suarez." I promised immediately after I confronted him.

"Oh okay, Ariyah, wait here I'll get you something." He said and immediately went down to the first floor of the house.

I don't know what to think but I just sat down again.

When he returned, he was carrying a tray of food and a glass of milk.

"Sorry I forgot about this earlier, you must be hungry." He said softly that's why I was slightly stunned and stared at him. He really has a sweet and soothing voice that is like a lullaby to my ears.

"Umm Miss?! Ariyah!!!" After a while he said that's why I went back to my trance.

"Ah S-Sir Gian..." I exclaimed in a panic. He just grinned before placing the food on the table in front of me next to his laptop.

"You should eat. Maybe later you'll say I didn't even feed you." He said seriously but I still smiled.

"T-Thank you Sir, you shouldn't have bothered." I still speak

"Cut it out. Just eat and go to bed after. I'll leave you here, it must be uncomfortable for you to eat in front of a stranger." He said coolly and picked up his laptop.

When he reached the door of his room, we were both stunned when the doorbell rang. We still looked at each other because of that.
