Staring at Sound English

Prologue

"Where are you going?" Roy asked me before I finally got out of the house. I turned to him and winced.

“Why? I'm just going to see Lynne."

“Are you sure? Or maybe him, again?" He asked me seriously.

Iblinked and finally turned to the door knob.

“I'll be right back," I said to him, then I went outside.

I hurried to text Lynne to pick me up here because we had a conversation today about going to the place where he is now. I waited a few more minutes outside the house before he came, so I was very annoyed.

"What took you so long? I already told you about this," I told her irritably as I got into the passenger seat of his Fortuner.

I heard her swear, so I looked at her sharply.

"What?"

“Shut up, Acel. Do you want me to hit this car, so you can stop there?"

She could no longer continue what she was going to say because of a black Sedan that overtook from behind us. We cursed together and she blew her horn loudly.

"Stupid! You're going to die too!"

I was furious at the driver of that sedan even though I knew it could no longer hear me. What else did Lynne and I say about it until we got to the parking lot of the building where the two of us were going. I could feel the sudden pounding of my chest even though we were still in the lobby.

The receptionist greeted us and immediately asked us if we had an appointment. Lynne just shrugged her shoulder.

“Just ask her, Miss."

"None. What now?"

"Oh, Ma'am, I'm sorry. You can't- "

“You think I didn't know that before I came here? I'm not stupid like you. By the way," I lazily told her that surprised her.

I just noticed Lynne was shaking her head. Won't she help me?

"Ma'am, wait a minute. You're not allowed to stay-"

I quickly faced her and raised an eyebrow. Before I could finally ruin her morning, Lynne took me in.

“I'm sorry, Miss. We have an appointment with Celina Samonte and we're in a rush now. We're late for our meeting with her, so, can you excuse us?"

My eyes rolled because of what she said to this female receptionist while still smiling. As of it was real. I saw the receptionist nod and handed me a paper. Lynne pulled me towards the elevator.

“So, what are we actually doing here, Acuzar? You're really going to have trouble," she preached to me while his cat-like eyes stared at me.

I just looked at her as she held that book with the navy blue colored cover. It was from Coffee Deim. Why is it still in her? She borrowed that book from the coffee shop a long time ago. I sneezed and nodded.

“Who is Celina Samonte again?" I asked her.

She glared at me quickly and did something to her cellphone.

“I'll just wait for you at the lobby. You can do it yourself."

I just simply nodded at her and let her go down to the floor where we stopped, because there were other people with us who also went down there. I silently stared at the screen of my cellphone.

Staring at him like this makes me want to see him right now, right at this moment. I can't seem to bear not to see him at all.

"I hope to see you," I almost whispered to myself.
