A Month Later
School was starting the next day Thank God! My father was not too pleased withsoon He booked his ticket and couldn’t cancel it I didn’t tell anyone what really happened between Daimon and I Elissa and I barely saw each other while Sofia and I hardly Skyped I didn’t want everyone and their opinions about Daimon and I to confuse me anymore then I was already Daiht he couldn’t, but he did Not once did he call or text rier than I was I should have wanted us to end He had hurt andof what he had done He just did what he wanted, not caring an ounce about how I felt, or what this would do to me
“Addie?” my father called out as the taxi waited to take him to the airport
“Yes, Dad?”
He looked so excited that henow, but I want you to know I’ into university I know you will do well,” he said as he reached out and hugged me “As for Daimon…” I tried to push my father away, but he held me close to hied hter
I knew I didn’t want anyone knohy I got married to Daireed tohim
“Bye, Dad, and et there I don’t care what time it is,” I warned
“Okay, Addie”
Here I was standing on 44 West and 4th Street New York in Greenwich Village, in front of the Stern School of Business This was beyond et into the MBA progra in and out of the corridors It took a while, but I finally found my class I walked in and everyone was already somewhat seated I sat in the front row, not one to shy away from a professor, let alone an education I wanted this This was my new start
The professor walked in, no bullshitting with hi other than who he was and our syllabus Mr Mitchell was a straight-laced fifty year old, ore a business suit He eased off his suit jacket the moment he introduced himself and stood tall in front of the lecture room His silver hair and well-triht to work, explaining that MBA students don’t screw around I thought I would be overwhelmed with all the inforht h them before class even started Thankfully, I wasn’t the oldest one here, but then again, university wasn’t about age but about an education My education Class ended withoutthat two hours had passed
Done was the first day of one, I should at least eat so home All my plans fell out theonce I stepped out the ainst his car was Daireen colored t-shirt and a pair of worn-out jeans, my heart stopped andat Daimon as they walked by Both Dai; his faint little so disappeared He pushed himself off the car and headed to where I was
“Addie” Never could I forget his low, rough voice and the special way he would say my name
“What are you doing here?” I asked, not too pleased withhappy to see him
“It’s your first day at university Do you honestly think I would miss it?” he said softly
“What do you want, Daiht of me
“I’ into his eyes Only because I was afraid I would stupidly fall back into his arms
“Like a date?” I questioned
“Yeah a date I want to date you”
“So, now you want to date?” I said rather harshly as I looked at hih my skeptical eyes Daih
“I know I fucked it all up, but I want to try to make it better I want to be with you and this is the only way I could think of without crossing too ain,” he said ruefully
