Norman's obsession
Chapter 20.
"They were killed in cold blood."
After this revelation of Norman's past, the whole atmosphere turned tense. I know that the death of his parents was a touchy subject for him so I didn't push him to tell me more and make the situation even more awkward. If there is a future for us then he will eventually tell me and even if he doesn't tell me, it won't matter because it's in the past anyway.
After dinner, Norman dropped me home and we parted our ways with a nerve-wracking, earth-shaking, toe-curling kiss. He said that he had a great time and he wants to do this again while cupping my cheeks with both of his palms and staring deep into my eyes, he pecked my forehead and then my lips. He finally dropped me at my apartment before walking back into his own.
I was jumpy and giddy the whole night and Ryan and Mia made me sit for hours and describe in detail every single aspect of the date.
The whole week after the date I was jumpy and giddy. Norman and I were texting each other non-stop. I woke up every morning to a good morning text from him and go to sleep with a good night and sweet dreams text.
Norman has yet to ask me for a second date but I can wait.
"Melissa, can you lend me the notes from yesterday's economics lecture?" Ken asked me as we exited the lecture hall.
"Sure," I said as I rummaged through my notes to find the correct one and handed it over to him.
"What's your next class?" I asked him.
"This was my last class of today. What about you?"
"This was my last class too," I said.
"So...you wanna like, grab lunch with me?" He asked me while scratching the back of his neck.
I don't know why but this simple gesture of his made him look so adorable, totally different from his regular rugged bad boy persona.
"I would have gone with you, but you see Norman is picking me up for lunch today. Next time maybe," I said to him.
I felt really bad for refusing him but I have already made plans with Normanand he has pushed aside his important meetings to take me for lunch today and I don't wanna hamper his schedule by canceling ours plans at the last minute.
"Norman who?" Ken asked me.
"Norman Blackford," I said casually.
At the mention of his name all the signs of playfulness on his face suddenly vanished and was immediately replaced with a deep frown.
"What happened Ken? Is everything okay?" I asked as I noticed the sudden change in his mood.
"Nothing Melissa. You go enjoy the date," he said while smiling at me but it was crystal clear that it was a forced one. Before I can even correct him he spun on his heels and walked away in the opposite direction.
