9 Chapter Nine: Iced Coffee for Sleepyhead

He is the man in her thoughts, possible or not? Crazily thinking, why would she dream of him?

He just remembered her the very first time she saw her at the park when one strange little girl convinced him to buy a flower for her.

"Hey buddy, aren't you asleep, or are you making wet dreams?" His roommate George waked him up from his senses.

He grabbed his pillow and threw it directly into his roommate's half-moon face to shut his mouth.

"No, I'm just calculating my allowance for this month. You know, sort of need to budget my so great expenses." He lied. Never in his mind to make a lot of expenses, he is actually a thrifty guy. He just made an excuse to fill his little green mind.

Back to his wet dreams, he really means girl dreams, he's still thinking of the girl from the park. He just knew and actually had met her first in her class.

That girl is the girl whom he offered his cap the last time he seated in one Chemistry Class.

He's bored and sleepy that day that he fell asleep in that classroom. And when he woke up, the Chem instructor was already starting his class.

He realized the class was also boring so; he continued his sleep. But suddenly, he saw a girl on his left also yawning that he offered his cap for her to hide her sleepyhead.

He knew it when she saw her again at the locker, staring at the flower he gave her. So he gave her a letter to fill her in and tried to inform her they're not actually in the same class.

He realized she was looking all over him after she read that stupid letter. Maybe she became curious about him.

Sort of, he is just as handsome and hot as he is that every girl in the university wants him to become their boyfriend.

However, in the real world, he is not actually that guy because he is some kind of just as mysterious, crazy guy who's roaming around the campus.

"Aren't you going to the library?" George talked to him again in his serious manner. Ignoring earlier that, he just hit his face with his pillow.

"Oh yeah. I forgot. I have work." He ran fast as he could for him not to be late for his work.

He is working part-time at the school library when he became independent from his parents. However, they're still providing him his school expenses and tuition.

The reason he works part-time is to have a budget for his personal expenses out of his parents' responsibility for him. Because he is just an adopted son.

Inside the library, he just saw the girl he was thinking of earlier. She was sleeping with her book on top of her head. She really is a sleepyhead.

"Is she talking alone with herself?" He was about to get near her and get some fling-talking with her, but Professor Jeanius was near her already.

...

"You're in my world again. I missed you." The guy woke her up from her senses.

"You're real. I knew it. You're real." She is not dreaming anymore.

"Yes, I'm real, in this dream of yours." But he said this is only a dream.

She was in her dream again. But she went back to her senses from her daydream as she realized she was half asleep inside the library.

Thinking of him anywhere is not healthy. Reading all this fiction love story is not helping her to be normal. "Maybe I should pick a different topic of books."

"Hey, hey. Miss Dreamer, What's up?" Jean is again disturbing her silent mode in her territory, which is the library.

"Don't you dare call me that!" She grumbled and talk to her like she's in distress.

"My case is going far from a normal human being. I just saw the guy in my dream earlier. I talked to him for real. But, my mind says. I just talked to him in my dreams. Isn't it so crazy?"

"Yes, you are crazy, maybe, but no. Hey, will you come to your actual senses?" But her best friend is the one who is really feeling crazy over thinking about her. She thought so and beamed at her reactions.

"Miss Perez, someone gave this for you." One random guy in the library hands her an iced coffee drink.

And this is coming from, who is that someone? She was about to speak to the guy, but he turned away as soon as he gave it to her. Maybe for her not to ask him about who gave this to him.

"I just want to say thank you." Well, she just said what she has to. Hoping that someone who gave it to her heard it.

"You're being popular nowadays. Days ago you have a flower. Then today is a drink from someone. Hmm, I swear before you graduate you will have a boyfriend." Jean, being nosily teased her. While she has no comment.

However, she had an idea who gave it to her. It must be Mr. Smith. Maybe he's giving her a teaser that he will show his face soon. Hoping that her thoughts are right.

Back to her senses, she packed her stuff to go home. Because she missed her Mister in her dreams. She will sleep comfortably in her bed to meet him again later in a real liked dream of hers.

Before she went out, she gave her drink to Jean as she was not in the mood to drink coffee, especially from someone she doesn't know.

"Miss, when someone shows you a sweet gesture, will you just ignore it?" On her way out, the guy who handed her the drink finally talk to her.

"What? I mean, how can I ignore it if he has the face to show me. I'm sorry but, I do not actually entertain someone whom I know nothing about his character and looks. And also, I already said my thank you. Yet, you're the one who ignored me." She addressed him coldly. And continued walking outside the library.

When she was nearing outside the parking lot, she halted. Somebody was following her footstep. She turned her back and looked for it, but no one was around. She continued her walk until she arrived at the parking lot.

She suddenly feels nervous. She grabbed her phone from her purse and dialed a number.

"Jean, come to me. I need your help."
