Sergio Mendes

"Miss Malone! Is she sleeping in my class?" The Professor fumed in anger.

"Sir, err... She didn't get enough sleep last night.." Nora defended nervously. She used her hand to pinch Jade awake.

"Hmm? Messiah, stop it." Jade groaned drowsily and the class roared in laughter. Jade became fully awake at that.

"Shit!" Nora cursed, slapping her forehead with her left palm. Jade just disgraced herself because of a book and she is ashamed to have such friend.

"What a church girl.."

A male in the class mocked.

"She awaits the coming of the Messiah."

Another mocked as well.

"Boo hoo, stop it, Messiah."

A lady mimicked and the class roared in another round of laughter.

Jade felt ashamed and was about leaving but was stopped by the Professor.

"And where do you think you're going, Miss Malone?"

"I.. I.. Sir.."

"Sir, she's on her menstrual period and she stained herself." Nora said with great urgency while closing her eyes.

"Why you! You do live with her? You know each and every thing about her." The professor groaned. He really wanted to punish Jade for daring to close her eyes in his class.

"We do, Sir." Nora answered, bowing her head.

"Leave at once and don't come back for this class, Miss Malone."

"Yes, Sir." Jade muttered and ran off. She was so ashamed that she started tearing up already. She was still running when she bumped into someone.

"Hey.." The voice came but, it was rather calm and caring. She looked up to meet the face and was gob smacked.

'He is so handsome.' She thought.

"Are you okay?" He asked again and Jade nodded.

"I'm fine, thanks. Are you? I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking." Jade said, covering her cheek with both hands. She was literally blushing right now because this man is so drop dead gorgeous.

"Yeah. Errmm.. I'm looking for a man named Michael. Do you know his office or where I can find him?" The handsome dude asked and Jade shook her head in negative response.

"Oh, okay." He smiled and was about walking away when he stopped in his tracks. "No classes?" He asked turning back to meet Jade's gaze.

"I'm not feeling too well." Jade replied, bowing her head. She was definitely lying and didn't want to get caught.

"Oh.. okay. Be careful then. What's your name?" He asked watching Jade with his keen attention.

"Jade.. Jade Malone."

"Oh. Cool." He said and turned to leave.

"What's your own name?" Jade raised her voice a bit so he could hear her.

He looked back at her and smiled. Putting both his hands around his mouth, loudly said his name. "Sergio."

Jade mouthed an 'Oh' and they both smiled at each other before parting ways. The smile still remained on Jade's lips..

"Sergio.. Sounds familiar. Where did I hear that name before now?" She asked herself, pondering on it.

Lately, she has been yearning to read more of that book and since it's almost 2pm, she'd just go back home and continue the book. Addiction!

"Oh! I have to return the bl story to Mr Angus." Jade said to herself as she left the school compound. She opened her bag and realized something. "Jade, you are such a forgetful ass." She cursed herself.She had forgotten the book at home.

"Well, tomorrow is another day." She said and walked all the way home.

On getting to her door, she remembered something. That name 'Sergio', she remembered where she saw it rather than where she heard it.

"Sergio Mendes is the name of the main lead in Love In A Time Loop. Yes!" She said, nodding her head she was so sure of it.

"It is, I'm sure of it. Sergio is the reincarnation of Sergio, The Great who was killed almost a century before Sergio Mendes was born." She said aloud to herself and then smiled at herself.

At least in her Twenty four Years of being a forgetful person, she remembered something.

"Ah! I have it all in my head like I lived it." She commented and pushed open her door.

Upon going in, she looked up at her clock to check the time. It was few minutes to three o clock. She rushed to the reading table and smiled.

"Messiah." She called the name with so much admiration.

She ran to the door and locked it. She shut the windows and dropped the curtains such that the room became dim. By this time in her neighborhood there was usually, no electricity so, she put on the candle. Her rechargeable lamp was too low.

"What else, what else?"

She asked herself aloud as she paced around her house.

"Oh! I should probably put this BL book in the bag now so I don't forget it tomorrow." Jade said as she got a hold of the book from the couch were it was.

Still holding it, she went to the reading table and took her sit behind it. It so much excitement she sang..

"Messiah, Messiah, Messiah...."

At same time, her clock made a sound. "Tock!" It was exactly 3:00pm.

"Now, I'm back to my Love In A Time Loop!!!" She squealed and opened the book. She started reading from where she stopped, the BL book placed on her lap.

Jade fell asleep while reading, she didn't know what or what not was going on. Being not so comfortable in that position, she searched for comfort in her sleep.

She was about falling when someone held her. She moaned softly in comfort and moved closer to whatsoever was emitting warmth.

"Hey.."

Jade heard a masculine strange voice in her sleep and immediately shut her eyes open. Her brain trying to get back together was obstructed by the musky and incense scent wafting everywhere around her nose. It was a strange fragrance.

"Kid.."

She heard the masculine voice again and it was coming from behind her. She quickly stood up and that was when she noticed she was actually sitting on a bus stop alumni bench. 'what the hell?'

"Are you okay?"

The strange voice came again and she had to look at the person with this fine voice and behold....
