"Hello, Miss Johnson." I hear a familiar masculine voice call out in British accent.
Jace....
I'm sitting on the bench under a tree reading a book.
My favorite under-tree spot...
Spring break is over so we're back in campus.
"Hello, Mr. Harris. How may I help you?" I ask in British accent with a smile.
"May I sit with you?" Jace asks playfully in British accent.
"Of course." I say, adjusting for Jace to sit.
"How are you doing today, Miss Johnson?" Jace asks in British accent after he sits beside me.
"I am well. What about you, Mr. Harris?" I ask in British accent.
"I am well too. I come bearing good news infact." Jace says in British accent.
"Whatever is the good news?" I ask in British accent.
"Okay.....can we now drop the accent?" Jace asks in American accent.
"You started it and now you wanna give up?" I ask with my normal accent.
"I'm only letting you win." Jace says.
"Win? This isn't a game, is it?" I ask.
"It could be fun if it is.....especially now that you get to go out with me." Jace says.
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"I did it, Mia. I nailed the tests!" Jace says in excitement.
"Oh my gosh! Are you serious?" I ask in excitement.
"Yeah, I'm one hundred percent serious." Jace says.
"What did you get?" I ask curiously.
"I got B in all!" Jace yells in excitement.
"What!! Oh my God!! Congrats!!" I yell in excitement.
I could hug Jace right now. I'm not only proud of him, I'm also proud of myself for doing a good job. I checked
on Rose earlier and she did well in history.
I'm a great tutor!
Yes, you're.
"Thank you so much, Mia. I don't think I would've done this without you." Jace says.
"It's okay. I don't think I would've done so without your attentiveness. So thank you so much too." I say.
"You're welcome." Jace says, staring into my eyes.
I get nervous when he does that.
Why are you nervous, Mia???
That I don't know.
"So.....I see you've won this one. I'm gonna go out with you like you wish." I say.
"Yes! But you know it's not just once." Jace says.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I mean your going out with me isn't gonna be a one time thing." Jace says.
"What? You never said it isn't gonna be a one time thing." I say.
"Neither did I say it's gonna be a one time thing. I only asked if you'd go out with me and then you placed the condition of me nailing the tests." Jace says.
"That's cheating." I say.
"No, it's not." Jace says.
"Yes, it is. You know I also deserve a reward for being a good tutor." I say.
"Do you?" Jace asks.
"Of course I do. So what are you gonna reward me with?" I ask.
"I'm gonna reward you with more attentiveness." Jace says with a chuckle.
