Severo Laris explains, “I’m not good with Engracia and I’m not with Engracia. ”
“… So you kissed her.”
Severo Laris went on to explain, “I didn’t know she was suddenly going to kiss.”
Paula Rouco tilted her small, aggrieved face to the side and glared at him, “Then you could have pushed her away, why didn’t you?”
“I pushed her away and kissed her too.”
“…”
True, Severo Laris’ logic was something he couldn’t argue with.
But it didn’t feel good inside!
Severo Laris looked at her torn face and suddenly he wrapped an arm around her waist, grabbed the back of her neck with one hand, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
A kiss so dominant and warm that it made her blush and she gasped.
The man’s long fingers dug into her hair. He looked down at her and asked softly, “Can we call it a day now?”
“…”
Paula Rouco lightly. biting her red. swollen lips, stared at him with those big round dark eyes and asked, “Severo, will you be my boyfriend now?”
Severo Laris rubbed her hair, “I’ll give you the answer after the second trial.”
The second trial is over … Isn’t it tomorrow?
He hugged her, kissed her and made so many intimate gestures, she must have liked it.
Vaguely sure of this feeling, she let out a faint laugh, “Well, then it’s a deal.”
When Severo Laris saw that she had stopped being grumpy with him, her mood changed to a somber one, “Come on, I’ll take you back to school.”
Paula Rouco gleefully picks up her small school bag and follows Severo Laris out the door.
…
The first few times I rode Severo Laris’ motorcycle, it was at night.
Not many people would notice them at night either.
But now the sun was shining brightly and the two of them, cycling by, attracted the attention of many passersby.
The man is handsome, the girl is beautiful, and they both look striking.
As they approached the school entrance, Paula Rouco said hurriedly, “Stop right here! I’m going back to my dorm alone.”
The Imperial College campus was quite large and it would take her at least fifteen minutes to get back to her dorm from the north gate by herself, but it was better than entering the campus later and receiving a flurry of gossip from her classmates.
Severo Laris stops his bike, his two long legs hit the ground, and Paula Rouco jumps off her bike.
Severo Laris took his backpack off his shoulder and handed it to her, “Shy for not letting me ride with you?”.
Paula Rouco, who had thick skin for a girl, growled, “I’m not shy, Attorney Severo, don’t forget that you are the man of the hour in our school, and if you send me later, there will probably be screaming and heartbreak all over campus. ”
Severo Laris froze when she flirted with him.
Paula Rouco waved at him as she carried her school bag, “I’m off then.”
Severo Laris was riding a single, his handsome face wrapped in a sunset, when Paula Rouco took a few steps and suddenly ran back.
Before Severo Laris could realize what he was about to do, a small hand wrapped around his neck, pulled down, and the girl’s soft lips, quickly scored his thin lips with a gentle kiss.
Too quickly for him to reach her, she had already turned and was running.
…
Back at the hostel, Paula Rouco was caught and questioned by her roommates.
“She smelled of alcohol and a strong androgynous odor!”
“And staying out all night!”
“Paulita! What a great thing you were doing last night!”
Paula Rouco was sternly questioned and couldn’t help but try to escape, “Dear housemates, can you let me go take a shower first?”
She was about to escape to the bathroom when she was grabbed again.
“Don’t tell me that, tell me the truth, you were with a man last night!”
“Paulita, you wouldn’t be the first person in our dorm to have a boyfriend, would you?”
When they looked at her with those prying eyes, Paula Rouco had no choice but to lie, “You remember my friend from high school, from finance, she lost her love yesterday, so I went with her to the bar for a night of drinking and insulting men!”
“Really, you’re just going to the pub for a drink? No loser games? Body games?”
Paula Rouco raised her righteous little face, “What do you know! It’s really for a drink.”
“Che! I thought you had done something amazing!”
Paula Rouco was relieved to see that they were no longer suspicious, so she reached for her clothes and headed to the bathroom to shower.
She stinks all night.
And I wonder if Severo Laris doesn’t like her.
Next time, don’t show up drunk in front of Severo Laris again, it’s too humiliating.
…
At night, Paula Rouco lies on her cot in the bedroom, tossing and turning, thinking about Severo Laris.
She picked up her phone and sent a Facebook message to Severo Laris: “Good luck with your second trial tomorrow.”
It was 23. 50 and Paula Rouco didn’t expect a message from Severo Laris, but she received it within seconds.
“Go to sleep, don’t say that staying up late hurts your face.”
Paula Rouco, clutching her phone, crawled under the covers, unconvinced that even though she had dark circles under her eyes from being up all night, her skin was still very beatable, okay, the kind of naturally cool white skin that’s full of collagen no matter how much you stay up late.
“My face is fine.”
Severo Laris couldn’t help but smile slightly at the message, the girl’s defiant and arrogant tone was adorable.
Paula Rouco: “Is it okay if I come see you in court tomorrow?”
“Don’t you have a full class tomorrow morning? Don’t skip class.”
“… How do you know I have a full class tomorrow morning?” Paula Rouco was a little puzzled.
Severo Laris didn’t answer her, just returned, “When you finish your morning class, after my court hearing, let’s go to dinner.”
Paula Rouco was glad to hear him say this, and she was glad not to see him in court, but to have lunch with him tomorrow anyway.
This is the first time Severo Laris has invited her to dinner on his own initiative. He said he had something to tell her after the trial, could it be a confession of love?
To think this makes you feel better.
Severo Laris sent her the address of a restaurant, tomorrow at 12 noon, Restaurant IFC.
Paula Rouco couldn’t sleep with her phone and tried to talk to him, but Severo Laris was always a man of few words and not much of a conversationalist.
“It’s twelve o’clock, go to sleep.”
Someone urged her to go to bed.
Paula Rouco: “You haven’t stayed up either?”
“I’m preparing my arguments for tomorrow’s trial.”
“…” Well, work is more interesting than talking to her.
Paula Rouco holds up her phone, sullen.
After a while, Severo Laris sent, “Good girl, go to sleep.”
He immediately made Paula Rouco happy by telling her “good boy”.
It can’t be helped, she is very good at cajoling.
Paula Rouco immediately replied, “Good night, kisses~”.
When Severo Laris received this message, he was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh at the word “kiss”.
Kiss?
Severo Laris stared at the words “goodnight kiss” for a long time, and his eyes, always cold as ice, melted into a soft, warm light.
Severo Laris worked for another half hour and, as he closed the file, he saw the class schedule taped to his desk and curved his thin lips.
He had her class schedule. So naturally he knew if she had class tomorrow morning.
