Chapter 26
After he left me, let me deal with my tears and heartaches, I waited there for a few minutes. I couldn't realize what is the mistake I have done to steal his happiness. He always says he lost his happiness because of me, but what on Earth I have done? I have done so much to make it up to him, for some mistake that I don't even know, but I only received his harsh words and beats. How much I craved to get a single word with love from him?
I knew, if I stayed there any longer, I would miss my breakfast. So I went to the common washroom nearby and washed m face to rinse away all the tears and pains. Perks of not wearing any makeups. I don't have to worry about my mascara getting ruined or my foundation getting wear off.
I took breakfast in a hurry since I didn't want to be late for the session and make Jake angry again.
When I arrived at the hall, Jake and Luke were already there. They were discussing something.
“Good morning!” Luke said as he saw me. No need to tell, his face lit up with a bright smile.
“Good morning” Jake also said without taking his eyes off the laptop. That's fine, he seems a bit cool down after yesterda night. That's progress.
Hope he will remain like this for the whole day!
“Good morning both of you!” I greeted them and sat with them.
After a few minutes, the session started. Since we had prepared the architecture diagram yesterday, we had a strong foundation to start our work.
We divided work among us and started working on our parts. Jake was appointed as our team lead, and he is one hell of leader, I must say.
He really knew, how to get work done from others, no wonder he is the best football captain our university has produced so far.
Even Glenn and Bob collaborate with him quite well.
It was amazing to work with these guys. Even Glenn and Bob were less annoying. We were working in a very good phase. When it comes to dinner time, we have completed all the major parts. But we had few improvements to be done and som other small parts to be completed.
Therefore, we decided to meet again after dinner like yesterday.
After dinner, I went to the hall and looked at who has come already, because I didn’t want to stay alone with Jake again. Vesterday it leads him to scold me and storm off, don't know today what it will lead to?
Dean was there working on his laptop, and no one else was there, so all good.
With a confident spirit, I walked toward our table and sat there.
After a few minutes, the rest of them also came and we all started working again.
We were so focused on our work and didn't actually fell time passing.
“l am damn tired,” Bob said yawning.
“Me too” Glenn replied looking at Jake.
I guess they both were feeling drowsy for a long time but were afraid to mention it to Jake.
“We have a few more things to complete before going to sleep,’ Dean said.
“How about we grab something to drink like coffee?” Luke suggested.
“that's a great idea, it will help us refresh and stay a few hours more” Jake seconded that suggestion.
“I can make you guys some coffee” I volunteered, anyway I was also feeling super exhausted and I thought to take a little break from work and engage with something else is good.
“Thank God, I thought we are gonna get coffee from that stupid coffee machine, I hate that coffee,” Bob responded. “agreed, that's not coffee that's s**t," Glenn said.
I don't know if both of them are gay or not if they are, then they would make a perfect couple. There is literally nothing tt Bob suggest and Glenn disagrees.
“I can help you” Luke offered.
Oh! Darling, thank yout!
“Good then let's go and make us some coffee I said standing.
I was making coffee and Luke was standing next to me.
it felt a bit awkward to stay all alone with him in a small room. But in the meantime I loved it.
“God! 1 am so sleepy” he said yawning.
“You couldn't sleep properly yesterday as well" I said worrying about him.
“that’s nothing. I can stay awake for days. I am feeling sleepy because we are doing some academic stuff. If we are doing something else, then I will not feel sleepy at all” he said giggling.
“ha... ha... I bet you all would get some time to do something other than academic if Jake was not there” I said, recalling how Jake gave others deadly stares whenever they tried to get off the tracks.
“Definitely!” he said laughing.
“Nevertheless, if he was not there, I don't think we will be able to get anywhere with this project. you don’t know how har itis to work with those two idiots” he added.
“you all are so afraid of him no?" I said, grinning.
“We just respect him, Ma'am. He is our captain. We treat our beloved captain as a Kingll”
I couldn't control my laugh with the way he said that.
He also joined with my laugh and we both laughed our hearts out.
“What you two are doing?” with that voice both of us got shocked.
I almost spilled hot water.
Shane was standing near the door, looking at us with a stare that could burn two of us alive.
“making coffee?” Luke said, his voice sounded a bit irritating.
“Coffee?” Shane said sarcastically.
“I thought you two are having a party here, screaming and laughing” he added.
He walked towards us and stood behind me.
“can I get some coffee t00?” he asked.
“she has made coffee for just our team Shane,” Luke responded.
“That's okay, Shane. Let me make you a coffee too” I offered because he was already pissed off. I can tell it by just looking at him, so why should I make him even angrier?
“Good girlt” he said looking at Luke.
Luke didn't say anything, he looked away with a disgusting look on his face.
Shane is such a pain in the as. I was having a wonderful time with my Luke and he had to come here and ruin everything What's his deal anyway? Why he cares so much about I become friend with his buddies?
Maybe he is scared 1 will tell them that we are siblings? Well, I don't want to tell that to anyone. How I can tell it to anyon in the first place, without embarrassing myself? Anyone would ask, then why he loathe me this much, a question that I don't know the answer for.
“How is project work?” Shane asked.
I looked at him, to check if he asked that from me. But as I expected he was directing that question at Luke. So 1 just didn tell anything.
“I asked how is project work?” he repeated his question as Luke didn't reply.
“You asked me?” Luke asked.
“yes, can't you even understand that?”
“You were right behind Sarah, so how I know?”
“you know that I don’t want to talk with this filthy slut”
“Shane!! Show some respect she is not a slut “Luke yelled, he seemed so much angry. I have never seen he got this angry with anyone.
“Why? your heart got ached, when we scold her? Why? Are you in love with her?” Shane's words made me froze.
What the hell is he asking? Luke's face turned to red like a ripe tomato.
“Don't be ridiculous Shane. To ask you to stop disrespecting a woman, do I have to love her?”
“You didn't care what we do to her all this time. I want to know why are you acting like her Knight in shining armor all of the sudden?” Shane was furious, and Luke was no different.
God! where this argument leads to now? What should I do now?
But Luke was much more intelligent and patient than Shane. Without uttering a word, Luke looked away. Maybe he was afraid that he will spill out our little secret. He is loving melll So how he can answer Shane's question covering all his feelings?
“Answer me, Lukelll” Shane screamed and grabbed Luke from his T-shirt as Luke didn’t reply.
Luke! My sweet Lukelt!
“Shane!! please... what are you doing?” I begged him, without knowing what to do.
“What is going on here?” with that deep voice, Shane lose his grip and pulled himself away from Luke.
The person who entered the room was Jake.
Thank Goditl The right person at the right timett
“What's going on Shane?” Jake asked walking towards us. He sounded calm and collected, but his face showed otherwise. “Nothing,” Shane said looking away.
“Luke?” Jake then asked.
“Everything is okay, Jake” Luke replied.
“Then what the hell you two are still doing here. Sarah i you have finished making coffee, let's go. We have a lot of work finish, we don't have time to fooling around.”
I offered a cup of coffee to Shane, and Luke took the jug filled with coffee.
“Let's go," Jake said, looking at Shane with disgust.
We three came out of the room when I look behind Shane was staring at us and with the look of his face, I knew both Luk and Jake have made a real enemy just because of me.
