It Started In August

Chapter 13

A/N: Hi! Sorry if it took so long to update this chapter, I was busy with a couple of things. Anyways this is the chapter. Enjoy!

A very loud beep outside my house made me instantly get up because of shock. I lazily searched for my phone under my pillow and checked the time. It's 6 am.

"Who was that?" I whispered and stretched my arms. I slowly stood up and that's when my ringtone played. When I looked at the screen, Roman's number was flashed on it.

I answered it as I walked outside of my room. "It's so early. Why did you call?" I dropped myself on the couch and leaned on it.

"I'm outside," it was the only thing he said and it made me lose my sleepiness in an instant.

"What?"

I stood up for the door and hurriedly opened it. I found Roman leaning casually against his car, his arms crossed against his chest. "I've been here for ten minutes."

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why?" I ended the call and he nonchalantly walked inside. I stood in the doorway as he sat on the couch. He looked at me and said, "You're going to be late Aster."

I closed the door and made my way to the kitchen. "It's 6 am and classes start at 8," I opened the fridge and took out the leftover pizza to microwave it.

"So what brings the Godfrey's heir in my house two hours before classes start?"

Roman shrugged. "Nothing, I woke up early," he replied. I raised my eyebrow in return.

"You woke up because you couldn't sleep or you did it on purpose?" I crossed my arms against my chest. He rolled his eyes in return.

"Mind the microwave for me while I get ready. Better put your boredom to good use," I walked towards my room and got my clothes so I could bring them in the shower with me.

When I got out, Roman was already at the kitchen and eyeing the microwave like it was a bomb ready to explode at any second. When it beeped, he took the pizza out and he ate a slice.

"That's my lunch you know," I said before entering the bathroom. I closed the bathroom door.

I heard him shout from outside. "You still got three more slices, you'll be fine." his remark made me shake my head.

It didn't take long for me to take a bath and dress up so as soon as I got out the only thing I had to do was to pack my lunch and do my hair.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," I said as I got out of the room. Roman was now sitting on the couch and the remaining slices of pizza were placed beside the microwave. I put it in a tupperware.

"You said you'll wear it today," Roman's voice from the living room echoed through the kitchen. A hint of disappointment was evident in the way he spoke.

"I thought you'll wear it with your hair in a braid."

I sighed. "It's clearly obvious that you don't know how things work," I shook my head. "Oh, I forgot my earphones. Wait," I ran to my room and hurriedly picked up my earphones that was resting on my study table. When I got out, Roman was already outside and he had already started the engine of his car.

I put the keys in my bag and wore my dollshoes. I locked the door and jogged towards Roman's car whose door is already opened. I sat comfortably and closed it.

We pretty much didn't talk the whole ride and we got to school quick. When I got out of Roman's car, something felt weird. I looked around my surroundings and that's when it dawned on me.

It felt like my heart was about to burst open and I couldn't move. Roman's calm expression shifted into a confused one, then he got out of the car. "What happened?" he asked.
