Summer's heart raced as she panicked when Mark was next to her. They were both very close to each other. She was afraid that he could hear their conversation or hear Ronald's voice.
She leaned away from Mark as she spoke clearly. " Let's meet at the cafe outside of the school tomorrow a 112.00 pm."
She hung up right after she finished speaking, not waiting for Ronald's response.
Mark was drying his hair with his towel while raising his brows and staring at her. "Who was it?"
"An old teacher. She needed some old documents from me so I asked her to meet me at the cafe tomorrow." Summer put the phone back into her bag and acted normally. "Let’s sleep. If I get up late one more time tomorrow, I won’t stay over ever again."
Mark leaned toward her and kissed her soft cherry lips. "Goodnight."
Summer returned his kiss as she smiled faintly." Goodnight."
He could only watch but not taste the snack next to him. 'How cruel is this life.' Mark let out a soft sigh as he held Summer tightly in his arms and buried his
face in her hair. They then fell into a deep sleep.
The morning after.
Mark was not late. He stared at the clock and woke her up as soon as it struck 7.00 am. Breakfast was already prepared on the table, including hot milk and orange juice.
After she freshened up, Summer drank some hot milk and ate some boiled eggs as she could not eat food that was too oily.
Mark sent Summer to her school before he dropped Charlotte off.
Summer only had two classes in the morning, so she had a loose schedule. Around 11.00 am, her phone vibrated, and a text tone rang.
