CHAPTER 7

—

I laughed. "You're unbelievable! So, who is she? Do I know her?"

"Nope."

"What? Really? Are we going to the same university?"

"Stop asking, man." He dodged the question.

"Come on, man! I will not say anything to anyone. I won't even tell her that you have feelings for her. I promise to be quiet," I murmured, pretending to zip my lips.

"I'll tell you next time, but not right now." He walked away from me, smirking. "Hurry! We'll be late!"

He won't tell me. I feel like I know who the girl is. I know Chase. He occasionally says nothing when I already know something.

I wonder who the lucky girl is that can capture the nonchalant heart of my friend?

I'll figure it out. I have my ways!

LIAM's POV

My mind is drifting while our professor is speaking. I can't concentrate because I have something on my mind.

This might sound strange, but I have a feeling that Chase likes Austin.

I am not sure about it, but my gut feeling tells me otherwise.

And the way he looked at Austin earlier was just different.

If my suspicion is correct, then Chase is gay.

I need to figure it out.

—

AUSTIN's POV

"Austin."

Someone called out to me from behind. Turning around, I saw him. The guy who always ruined my day.

But wait. Did he call me by my name this time?

"You just called me by my name. I thought you didn't know me?" I asked.

He walked towards me before he spoke again. "I know you. I know you very well."

"How did you get to know me?" My eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"It doesn't matter, Austin." He replied, and my eyes widened in shock as he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him.

Our lips were nearly touching.

"What on earth are you doing!?"

"I like you." He confessed. That left me even more stunned.

"What!? Have you lost your mind?! Let me—" I couldn't finish what I was about to say when he kissed me.

My lips crashed against his lips as he started furiously kissing me.

I was trying to push him but he is holding me very tightly. And I found myself surrendering to him.

Damn it! What is happening to me? Why am I kissing this guy? Why am I letting him kiss me?

Our mouths opened and tongues battled for dominance. I let him win, which I don't know why.

But I must admit that I am drowning in his kisses. My mind went blank and I lost my energy.

He kissed me as if he had been yearning for me for ages.

His tongue explored my mouth, and I let out a moan against his lips.

I love his kisses.

Wait, what?

What did I say?

Jeez! I must go crazy!

But yeah, fuck, I love his kisses.

The next thing I knew, we stumbled toward the sofa and paused our kissing just long enough to take off our shirts. Then our lips met again and our bare chests touched.

His skin felt like fire against mine.

I could feel my manhood hardening through my pants.

He felt his hand all the way down my chest, and when he reached my pants, he grabbed my erection through my jeans. I gasped and moaned into his mouth.

He began kissing my neck and discovered a sensitive spot. I let out a moan that was so loud.

Damn it! This kind of feeling he is giving is insane! I keep forgetting that he is a man and I am a man.

He smiled against my skin and continued to kiss down my neck to my chest, licking all the way down as he knelt in front of me.

He unfastened my pants and tore them down along with my boxers, leaving me completely naked in front of him.

My heart raced with nervousness, and at the same time, I felt embarrassed because it was the first time I had been naked in front of someone.

But I was lost in words when he grabbed my manhood and began massaging it before he took it in his mouth. I cried out, it felt so good. He went faster making me feel so good.

He stopped before I could reach the climax, knowing that we both didn't want it to end.

He stood up, took off his clothes, and we both got onto the sofa. He was lying on top of me and we kissed so fiercely until —

I woke up, panting, catching my breath as I got up from lying on the bed. I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.

What on earth did I just dream about that annoying guy?

I touched my lips, my neck, my chest, and most of all, I touched the "thing" that's inside my pants.

I'm not undressed. Oh, damn it! Thank goodness!

I place my hand on my chest and exhale as I soothe myself.

But wait...

I touched my manhood through my pants and could feel its firmness.

What the heck? Did I just get turned on by that dream?

Shit! I have gone crazy!

Damn! The dream felt so real that I could clearly see his face. I could clearly feel his touch, his lips, and his tongue on my body.

What on earth?

"Oh, you're awake." Someone spoke on the right side. When I saw Doctor Travis, I immediately grabbed the blanket beside me and covered half of my body.

"Uh, yeah. I just woke up." I tried not to stammer.

"You slept the whole day, did you?" Doctor Travis smirked as he turned around and walked away.

Did I really sleep for that long?

I let out a grunt when I felt cramps in my belly. This is insane! I get aroused because of that damn crazy dream.

Remembering what I dreamed sends shivers down my spine!

I pulled my phone out of my pants pocket. I turned it on since I had turned it off last night.

After it turned on, my eyes widened in shock at the sight of the time.

Seriously? It's already 5 p.m.?

I really slept the whole day?

By this time, my class has finished and it's time to head home.

I was about to get out of bed when my phone started vibrating incessantly. Checking my phone screen, I saw a lot of messages and missed calls from Ash and Liam. They were looking for me, but I didn't reply to their texts.

I looked at my eyes using the front camera of my phone. I breathe a sigh of relief when they are no longer swollen.

I was about to get out of bed when I noticed a juice and a piece of sandwich on the table next to the bed.

Whose are these?

Never mind. I got out of bed and walked out of the cubicle.

"How are you feeling?" Doctor Travis asked me. I walked over to the chair in front of his desk and took a seat.

"Feeling better." I responded. "By the way, who brought the juice and sandwich on the table?" I asked him. He may have an idea.

"I suppose Chase brought it for you. He seems concerned about you." He said, with a grin.

My forehead furrowed in confusion. "Chase? Who is that?" I asked, and his expression changed.

"Don't you know Chase?" He pondered.

"Yeah. Who is he?"

I really don't know anyone named Chase, so I was puzzled.

"Well, the guy who's in the swimming club."

Just then, I remember that "annoying guy" I met in the swimming pool area. And that's right! He was actually here earlier too.

So, his name is Chase? And he brought that juice and sandwich for me?

Why on earth would he do that?

But I won't accept them. Why should I?

"I thought you guys were friends."

"What?" I laughed derisively. "No. I don't even know him. Why would we be friends? And I have no intention of being friends with him."

He laughed softly. "I sense a love-hate relationship." He said in a lowered voice, so I didn't hear him very well.

"Did you say something?"

"Nothing, kid. You should go home and get some rest. Bring the food with you."

"No, thank you. I am not accepting food from strangers." I said as I stood up. "I have to go. Thank you, Doctor Travis." Then I left the clinic.

It seems all of the students have already left the campus because the hallways are empty, and the classrooms I pass by also empty.

This is so lovely! This is so peaceful!

I wish that for just one day, everyone in the world would disappear and I would be the only one left, so that my life would be peaceful and I could freely do everything I want.

But that's absolutely impossible.

"You slept the whole day, huh?"

I suddenly stopped walking when someone spoke. Turning to the right side, I saw him standing, leaning against the wall with his back, while his hands were in his pockets. He slowly turned his head to look at me and smile.

What on earth is he still doing here?
