Chapter 50
Chapter 50
Flynn clenched his fists and August's heart started to beat so fast and loud. She's in panic and worried
that they'll start harming each other physically. Liam is clearly mocking Flynn.
She reached for Flynn's hand and tried to calm him even before he lands a punch on Liam's face.
"Flynn—"
"I can't let you stay here." He whispered under his breath while still staring at Liam.
She squeezed his hand. "Calm down. I'll be fine. Just—Just walk me to my room."
He took a deep breath and sighed before he started walking to the hallway with her hand in his. She
saw Liam picking up the paper bag before pressing the lift button. "Don't you feel frustrated not being
able to punch someone in the face because you have to take good care of a good name?" Liam
continued to mock Flynn as he stands up from picking up his snacks.
Flynn halted his steps and turned around to face him. "I'm not scared, Liam. They can take that name
for all I care. I'm just wondering who'd lose their scholarship because of misconduct."
Liam looked shocked, realizing Flynn has a point and then he looked pissed for it. The lift opened and
he stepped inside, leaving them on the hallway.
She sighed in relief and Flynn faced her. "You don't have to stay here."
"W—What do you mean? I have my dorm key and—"
Flynn took her hand in his. "I don't feel comfortable letting you stay here having Liam around."
"I don't think he'd do something—"
"He just kissed you, August." He looked upset and she could see how much it bothered him. "If I didn't
decide to follow you to make sure—" He took a deep breath. "I hate to imagine what could've
happened."
She squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Flynn." She hugged him and felt calmer as she smelled his scent
mixed with his expensive perfume.
"Come on."
"W—Where?"
"To my place."

The night was long—meeting Flynn's parents and then that encounter with Liam that August felt fell
asleep in the car. She felt like she's being carried as she sniffed that familiar smell of expensive
perfume and manly scent. "Flynn."
He didn't answer but she can see his handsome face as she looked up. His jaw and nose perfectly
sculpted. She sighed inside as she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face to his neck.
"Are you mad?"
"Not at you, August." He answered hoarsely as he opened a door in the dark hallway. She figured they
already arrived at his place. Or not?
For some reason she heard noises like she was in an airport or something. Or was she that exhausted
she's imagining things?
The room is dark and Flynn didn't bother opening the lights. He just walked towards the bed and laid
her there carefully.
He stared into her eyes before leaning to kiss her forehead. "Sweet dreams, princess."
She closed her eyes and as much as she wanted to stay awake and make sure he's alright, her eyes
are giving up on her, with sleep taking over again.
"Good night, Flynn."
••••••
August sniffed when she smelled that freshly brewed coffee, toast, butter and cheese. When that
delicious aroma reached her brain, she realized she's in London and opened her eyes slowly, it was
just the break of dawn with part of the sky is still in darkness and the sun barely peeps in the horizon.
Her mouth dropped when she saw that refreshing image of Flynn, sitting in a white chair in the veranda
wearing his silk robe and the Eiffel tower's majestic view behind him.
He's reading a book in his hand with eyeglasses on. She pushed herself up from the bed, only to
realize she's only wearing a black silk night dress. She hugged herself and blushed thinking that Flynn
must have changed her clothes last night.
She wanted to slap herself for feeling conscious when she's well aware that he's seen everything—
Wait! Eiffel tower?! We were just in London last night!
"Good morning."
She followed his voice and was greeted with a kiss on her lips. She didn't realize that he's already next
to her in bed because of her thoughts. "G—Good morning?"
He smiled. "Hungry?"
She nodded as he pulls her from bed and guides her outside the veranda after handing her silk robe.
"This place is beautiful." She gasped when she stood by his side.
"Romantic?" He hugged her from behind.
She blushed and was speechless. "Y—Yes." She whispered shyly. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Good." He whispered and she felt his lips against her neck, slightly giving her a kiss. "We should
prepare to leave for breakfast at my mom's house."
"But you have these prepared. It'll be a waste not to eat them." She pouted.
"I'm not saying we're not eating them. We're just delaying it."
"What do you mean delay—"
He lifted her chin with his hand and kissed her lips passionately. She panicked thinking she hasn't even
brushed her teeth since last night. She was exhausted.
She tried to pull away but he stopped her by placing his other hand on her nape. He moved his lips
away from hers lightly. "I figured you're tired last night so I waited for this perfect moment. You were
asleep the whole time during the flight."
What flight? We were on a plane?!
