After that incident that I witnessed in the office I was heartbroken. But Milly still intrigued me. After all, I was not ready to accept that Milly was someone who would sleep with anyone. So the next day I decided to do something which I never expected I would.
Next morning I dressed up in a black t-shirt and blue jeans to look as monotone as possible. I reached college to find Milly in her usual place with her cheerful smile. Jack was not there even today. She waved at me from far and signaled me to sit beside her. I was hesitant but how could I stay away from her? So I slowly walked towards her seat and sat down.
She asked, "So, did you do the assignment?"
"Not yet. You?"
"I have started but I am a little struck in a place."
"Which topic?"
"The research methodology one. I don't know what to write in research rationale."
"Just write what made you think about doing the project."
"Are you upset on me?"
What? How did she guess that out? Was I too rude with her? I am not upset. I just.. just want an explanation of the what the fuck is happening.
"No.. why are you asking that?"
"You look a little distant today. I could just feel something different the way you walked towards me."
Did she really notice me like this? Isn't this what couples do? Guess each other's feelings or notice them closely. Do I really matter to her?
"Look we need to talk."
"Woah.. You look serious.. Did I do something wrong? Just speak it out."
"Okay.. so.. I kinda saw something. And I don't know what to feel about it."
"What did you see?", she looked a little scared. Her eyes were wider.
"I saw you and the professor.."
"Shit!"
She suddenly stood up grabbed her bag and started to walk hurriedly towards the door.
I couldn't see her go like this. I shouted, "Wait.. Lets talk.. Please.."
I followed her out of the class in the corridor. She entered the washroom and locked herself in a stall.
I knocked the door and said gently.
"Hey.. I don't know what's happening but we need to talk. I mean if you want to."
