Chapter 25
When Mia heard the door shut, she instantly popped up from the couch and strode towards the
bathroom. She filled the cup from the tap and started c hug ging water down.
She tried to stuff herself by drinking water.
By the time Andre got back, she had already downed three cups of water and felt filled.
When they met, she felt embarra**ed thinking about the rumbling noises her stomach made earlier, and
she ran to the couch to hide her face under a blanket.
Andre took one look at the water cup on the bathroom counter, then at the blanket wrapped her on the
couch, and he had a general picture of what was going on in his mind.
Andre walked over with a simple sandwich in his hand, plopped down on the couch where Mia was
laying, right at her waist.
He gently pulled the blanket off Mia’s face, saying, “Here’s a sandwich. Get up and eat.”
Mia turned her face and indeed saw a sandwich in his hand.
She nonchalantly held out her hand for it, and when Andre saw that the girl wasn’t being polite at all, he
suddenly got a mischievous idea. He purposely put his hand up in the air and looked down at Mia, who
was lying on the couch, “Beg me.”
Mia retorted, “As if!”
Andre was speechless. Seemed like this girl had filled her stomach with water and was now feeling all
high and mighty.
He was just trying to have a bit of fun with her, seeing her reaction, Andre said, “I’ll leave the sandwich
here. If you want it, come find me by the bed.”
Mia got mad, she pulled up her blanket ready to cover up and sleep, but then she noticed that the edge
of the blanket was still being held by Andre.
She smacked him with her hands a few times before yanking the blanket away and pulling it over her
face to begin sleeping. Andre looked at the red marks on his hand, thinking to himself: This little girl
sure knows how to hit hard.
He placed the sandwich on the coffee table, stood up and said, “If you get hungry, eat the sandwich.
I’m going to sleep.”
The always proud Andre had unknowingly admitted defeat to Mia, but he didn’t notice.
Even when he turned off the lights to sleep, he didn’t realize that he had lowered his head in front of
Mia.
In the wee hours, Mia was awakened by the urgent need to pee from drinking too much water, and she
had to run to the bathroom several times.
13:08
Andre was a light sleeper; he could feel it every time she got up. Also, he could feel this girl’s
cautiousness. She tried not to disturb his rest, and even went barefoot to the bathroom.
Again, after she fell asleep, Andre got up to check if she had eaten the sandwich on the couch. Sure
enough, this stubborn girl hadn’t touched it. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Could she really fill up on just water?
Andre didn’t know. He looked at Mia who had fallen asleep again. She had kicked the blanket onto the
floor, so this time her face wasn’t covered.
Andre stared at her, caught up in deep memories.
If she were still here, she would be the same age as Mia this year. Mia was a sophomore this year, and
she would have been in college too, right?
The next morning, the alarm on Mia’s phone woke them both up.
She got up from the sofa, stretched out a big yawn, sat there blankly for five minutes before picking up
her clothes to change in the bathroom.
When she came out, Andre was just going into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Mia picked up her pajamas and neatly folded them, walked to a corner of the room, pulled out a
suitcase, placed it on the floor and opened it, then put her pajamas in it, closed it, locked it, and finally
put the suitcase back in its original corner.
This series of actions surprised Andre once again.
