Chapter 24

Jomar and I studied across each other in silence for about 25 minutes and I felt like dying on the inside. I was starting to get restless.

I bit my pen, shook my legs vigorously, looked at the clock frequently. I was behaving like a crack head. I hate studying

I was practically having a mental breakdown yet this guy seems so focused. He flipped through his book, slowly reading everything piece by piece while constantly removing locks of hair from his eyes.

He would frown when he didn't understand something. He would crack his hands right before solving a question as if trying to awaken his senses.

How can a clown like this be so serious?

He looked so hot in his element. It was hard to believe that this is the same Jomar that played and joked around

That’s it, I can't take it anymore

"Jomar”

He looked at me. Brown eyes to blue. I got mesmerized for a second. How did I not notice how extremely good looking he is? I guess I have but we've never been close this way. He literally had no flaws.

"Yes?"

"I'm tired. Can we go now?"

" No"

"Why not?" I whined

"We haven't even covered solubility curve yet"

"But..."

"Shh! No buts"

I put my head in my chin and pouted. Why did he have to be so strict?

"Jomar"

"No"

"But..."

"I said no..."

"Please"

"No. study. Now"

I sulked as I opened my chemistry textbook. I didn't understand the calculations so I asked Jomar to teach me. He did

He taught me everything from the basic down to the climax. He took it bit by bit and made jokes in between. I laughed a lot but I also got the message he was trying to pass across. When I finally understood it, he gave me questions to solve. Calculations can be pretty interesting when you know what you are doing.

I didn't even know when time passed because I was caught up in my work. Time flies fast when you are doing something productive.

When it was 5:50 p.m. We packed our books and left the library. Things got light between us. We laughed and talked as we walked down the corridor. He even walked through me to my dorm.

"See you tomorrow" he said

"Sure"

He waved then left. I bit my lip and went to my room. Maybe Jomar wasn’t so bad after all. He was kinda cool...in a cute goofy sort of way.

When I neared my room door I heard noises, I decided to open the door slowly and peep in. It’s probably Mary gossiping about me

How I wish it were true. It would have been better than what I saw

Annabelle and Sister Martha argued back and forth. Isn't this the same Sister she was scared of the other day?

"Keep your voice down" Sister Martha said "Someone might hear you"

Ha! It's a little too late for that

I was supposed to shut the door and leave. What's going on is none of my business. In fact, this is invasion of privacy but no matter how hard I tried to move, my legs stayed glued to the floor.

"So what?" Annabelle said "I don't care anymore"

"Let's be mature about this"

"Mature about what? I'm still in love with you"

My eyes widened so much that for a moment I thought they were going to pop out of their sockets. Wait....Annabelle and a reverend sister? Isn’t that forbidden? A taboo? Is that even possible?

“I’m in love with you too but I'm dedicated to serving the lord now. We can't keep doing this"

"Why not?"

"Because it's a sin!"

"Oh really" Annabelle laughed "Now it's a sin? It wasn't a sin when you took my virginity? It wasn’t a sin when we were dating?"

Wait what?

"That's was before I was sworn into service. I was on ordinary person then. Now I am serving the Lord exclusively"

She held Annabelle’s hand probably in an attempt to pacify her as tears rushed down Annabelle's face.

"Just please" Annabelle begged "Just one more time"

Annabelle pulled her closer and kissed her passionately

That was when I shut the door
