A Vow So Beautiful - Chapter 93
The university school bell chimed just as Prisana finished marking the last answer to the last portion of the placement test. It was split into three sections. English, Math, and Science. Prisana wasn’t always the brightest kid in the all girl’s Christian academy she attended but she was one of the most hard working students.
She was able to do last minute studying throughout the week and retain some old knowledge from previous teachings in school. Prisana flexed her hands and immediately shuffled among other students who rushed to turn in their paper in front of the class.
“Psst,” a woman’s voice prompted her to look back.
Alex!
She did recieve a text from Alex that she was going to take the placement tests on the same exact date. Truly, she never really had a friend so it made her a little giddy when they exchanged phone numbers and began texting one another. Now that she saw her in person, it was a little nervewrecking but nonetheless she offered a shy and nervous smile.
“Wanna grab lunch with me?”
That was so simple.
Prisana nodded with a bigger smile this time. “Sure.”
They grabbed lunch at the campus cafeteria. Prisana wasn’t the least bit displeased with her choice of food as the campus cafeteria sold a wide variety of common food ranging from sandwhiches, soup, salad, and other such things she never really had the chance of fully appreciate as she always ate food made for an elite senator’s daughter.
Both Prisana and Alex found a table outside and chatted about anything and everything.
“So, you’re married?” popped out that question Prisana indeed revealed during that ice breaker game.
Prisana happily nodded. “I am.”
“Ugh, you look so happy. Women in love are often so vibrant and I can tell just by looking.”
“Are you in love with someone?” Prisana asked in return.
“Love? I used to be in love with someone but now I learn it’s better to stay away from it.”
“It’s a beautiful thing Alex. One day like me, I’m sure you’ll find a man that will love you unconditionally.”
“No it’s a trap…” Alex’s voice trailed off as she gawked at a familiar figure in the distance who ran near past the both of them.
The figure running in question was Theo. A half naked Theo gloriously basked underneath the sun’s rays, revealing fine lines of a lean six pack dripping wet with sweat. He was a sweaty mess of a running man, trailing after a few other boys who were also gloriously half naked. Prisana had to blink her eyes and wonder if they were shooting a commercial.
No media was around. She was at least good at spotting the media’s lens.
Theo spotted both Alex and Prisana, then ran over to wave and greet at the two who couldn’t help but stare at how their group leader from the orientation had a pretty nice body. Prisana shook her head and moved it to thoughts on her sexy beast of a husband. She smiled as the image of Dane calmed the abrupt and unwelcomed half naked sight before her.
“Ladies. What are you doing here?”
Alex looked the other way. “Oh my god. Put. A. Shirt. On. You are disturbing the peace around this campus…”
She then quickly looked past Theo’s shoulders and Prisana could swear she saw hearts form in them. “Is that other naked guy a friend of yours? Introduce me.”
“Tsk tsk. Now you want to play nice? Too bad. He’s only into big breasted women…”
To this, Alex whacked him on the shoulder and he winced as an apology. Prisana looked around and was aware how boyishly charming girls found him as what looked like his admirers stood from the distance.
His admirers either fawned over him or shot Alex and Prisana with daggers. It was a bit frightening being scutinized under so many gazes but she was actually used to it so it didn’t bother her that much.
The malicious intent was the only thing that bothered her.
“The placement tests…We just took the tests,” she managed to croak out as she focused on his messy hair. “Why in god’s name are you shirtless and running, at that?”
“I lost a bet during our club meeting. So, me and some other guys have to run shirtless for five laps. It’s a long story…Anyway how did the tests go?”
“Terrible,” Alex groaned.
“It was challenging but I think I pretty much nailed a good average on them. And uh, it seems like your friend is waiting for you.”
“Stop talking to your girlfriends! Hurry up and run Vaughn!”
Theo rolled his eyes and shouted back to his friend, “I’d never date the abusive woman on the left.”
Alex in question, was the abusive woman on the left. She hit him on the shoulders again for that remark. That left Prisana remaining. Would that mean he’d be interested in dating her? The way he smoothly said things always surprised her beyond end. She just stared at him blankly, watching as he purposely winked at her.
“That’s right. Wait for me. Since I’m your senior from orientation, I should introduce you to your other seniors and treat you to something…Boba drinks. Girls like those sweet drinks, right?”
“Boba? What’s that?” Prisana asked.
Both Theo and Alex stared at her like she were truly an undiscovered creature. Prisana couldn’t help that she had been sheltered her whole life. She was only beginning to explore the wonders of the world without the senator’s clutches holding her back from doing so.
“Boba is one of the most delicious and amazing drinks known to mankind that come in a wide variety. It originated from Taiwan and is a sort of tea like substance that has these black chewy gummies inside.”
“You seem to know a lot about boba. I didn’t know boys could be into sweet drinks too,” Alex pointed out with a mocking laugh.
“Leave me alone. This is a free country,” he chided her then turned back to the boys in the field yelling at him to finish his laps. “Drinks on me. You both should familiarize yourself with your seniors so you can have some career and campus advantages. Ah, I know what you’re thinking. What a kind senior. Believe me, I wish I had a senior like myself back in my freshman years too…”
“Theo! We’ll make you run another round!”
“…Laters!”
After Theo faded from view, Alex whistled under her breath. “Wow. As much as he annoys me, Theo is kind of hot.”
My husband is still the best , is what Prisana wanted to say.
