Planned Baby

Chapter 33 MY QUINN

I can’t sleep. I am bothered by my past. I didn’t expect that I will be sharing my painful past that casually with other people.

Flashback

It was my first day at the university when I first met him. I was looking for the room for my first class when I bump into him. He was tall, he was thin but still in a good physique. You know that he is handsome despite his eyeglasses.

“I’m sorry.”

He looks at me and smiles. “No worries. Are you lost?”

I shake my head. “No. I don’t think I’m lost. I was looking for my classroom.”

“Oh!” Then he grabbed my schedule in my hand and began to read it.

“We are block mates. I can show you our classroom if you don’t mind.” He kindly offers.

“I don’t mind.”

That is the start of our friendship. Even though he has eyeglasses, you will never mistake him as a nerd. He was famous not just in our class but in the whole university. Aside from being handsome, he was smart-which explains the eyeglasses, he has a good sense of humor and is popular with girls.

He was my total opposite. I was the real nerd. Just like him, I was also wearing eyeglasses, though I don’t dress like the typical nerd. But with my personality, I am a 100% nerd.

I don’t have friends. I was in my own world with my books and my drawings. I wanted to take up Architecture, but since I was an only child, I decided to take up business management instead. I know soon, I will be the one handling our family business.

My drawings draw me closer to him. He would always come to me whenever he saw me alone. He will always pester me, though I don’t find it annoying. I actually like it. He's the only disturbance that I enjoy having. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why don’t you take up architecture? You are really good at this.” He suggested.

“I want to. But I will be handling my family business soon.” I told him.

“Yes I know, but your business is architecture and engineering services right?”

I nodded.

“It’s still perfect for you. You can take up architecture and even engineering then you apply business management for your masters.”

He’s right. It was a perfect plan. I was so happy with his suggestion and I just find myself hugging him.

“Thank you!”

He hugged me back. “You are very welcome my Quinn.”

I pulled away from our hug.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hug. I was just so happy.” I told him while blushing.

“No worry my Quinn. I will always welcome your hug with an open arm.”

Then we both chuckled.

We became more closed since then. He will always accompany me during our breaks. He also introduces me to his friends. I think having friends is not that bad.

He will also visit me at my house and spend the weekend together. He will hold my hand from time to time. I know that I was already falling for him. Who wouldn’t be right?

“I guess next year we won’t be classmates anymore. I will surely miss you my Quinn.” He said.

I felt the butterfly in my stomach whenever he calls me “My Quinn” it’s as if I was him, Queen. I find it so sweet of him.

“Surely we won’t be classmates anymore. I also wanted to transfer to another university that specializes in architecture and engineering.”

“What? What about me my Quinn?”

I furrowed. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Transferring to another university means you are leaving me!”

I chuckled. “Of course not! We can still see each other after class and we can always spend our weekends here in my house.”

He pouted which I found so cute. “I find it so hard thinking that we won’t be classmates anymore, what’s more, if we are studying in different universities.”

I can’t myself laughing. He was acting like a child.

“Oh, my baby is having a tantrum.” I joke.

He glared at me by then his eyes softened. “So I am your baby now?”

“It was a joke!” I told him while chuckling.

“Uhm Uhm.” He uttered then he went closer to me and gave me a soft kiss.

“I will miss you my Quinn. It's not yet happening but I already miss you.”

He kisses me again with the same gentleness but this time it's a long kiss. I don't know how to kiss because it was my first time, but I find myself responding to his kisses though I am not sure if I am doing it right.

Since that kiss, he became sweeter to me. We don't have any label yet, but who cares right? Actions speak louder than words.

Finals ended, it will be my last day at the university. I was excited because I prepare a gift for him. It was my thank you gift because he helps me decide on my future.

I went to our usual place, he always brings me to our school building’s rooftop whenever we want our alone time with each other. I was stunned for a moment. I saw him kissing someone else.

The girl's eyes widen when she saw me. She pushes him due to shock. He looks pissed by the girl’s action, then he looks in my direction. He just gave me a cold stare. The girl left the place hurriedly.

“You kissed her.” The only thing I can utter.

“So what if I did?” He said, sounding pissed.

I bit my lower lips. “What about me then?”

“What do you mean what about you? We are friends!” He said and look at me with confusion as if I am saying weird things.

“I thought you like me!”

“I do! I like you as a friend!”

“You don’t kiss your friend!”

“We do! We kiss and we are just friends!”

“Asshole!” Then I throw my gift at him.

“It was supposedly my thank you gift for you, but I guess it was meant to be my goodbye gift because I never want to see your face again jerk!”

End of flashback

I know I tweak some of my stories on them. I did that for some reason. I thought I already moved on from him. I thought I was okay now with my life. I thought I will not be affected by a memory of him anymore. I guess I’m wrong.

***

The twins’ birthday celebration was a success. We are now back here in Manila and I am now having my meeting with Mr. Schulz. We will be presenting him with the revision of the cafeteria. The meeting will be done in his office along with the signing of our contract if he will approve the final revision of our design.

“Good morning Mr. Schulz!” I greeted him.

We are now inside his office. I must say, Ulie and Mr. Schulz have the same taste. A best friend indeed.

“Good morning Ms. Cabello.” He greeted back.

We did not waste any time, I started presenting him the revised design. Belle and Dominic did not come with me, since the only concern now is the cafeteria.

“It’s much better now.” He only said.

I guess he likes it. I smile to myself. I will get this deal finally!

“I’m good with it. I have here with me the contract, we can sign it now. Then we’ll have a media launch for this and announce you as in-charge of this project.”

I want to jump for joy but I refrained from doing it. We reviewed and discuss the contract, after that we both signed the contract.

“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Schulz. We will not disappoint you.” I told him.

“You earned it Ms. Cabello, you don’t need to thank me.”

I just smile at him. Ulie was right. He was a fair businessman, though I find him more intimidating than arrogant.

I was on my way out of his office when someone came. She went to Mr. Schulz and gave him a tight hug.

Mr. Schulz was taken aback but he recovers quickly. He smiled and hug the girl back.

The girl was gorgeous. I guess she was Mr. Schulz's girlfriend. Looking at his eyes and expression now, it was obvious that he likes the girl in front of him.

“When did you arrive?”

“Just now. I went straight to your office because I miss you.”

Mr. Schulz smile. “I miss you too Hadley!”
