Going on all fours, Calvin looked a sorry sight with the residual soup all over his face.
Elaine darted a look at him in disgust. She couldn't be bothered to speak to him; she was so annoyed with him that she found it offensive to the eye to take another look at him. "Let's go, dude." She grabbed Kingsley's arm. "The dorm will be closed in around two more hours. Let's hurry and get back."
Watching Kingsley and Elaine leave side by side, Calvin struggled and growled at the top of his voice, "Elaine Albright!" The rage and hatred in his eyes were almost palpable. Gritting his teeth hard, he bellowed like an animal, "You son of a b*tch! Not only did you make me lose face, but you also stole my woman! I'm gonna make you regret doing that! And you, Elaine! I'm definitely gonna make you sleep with me, you b*tch!"
At this moment, Kingsley and Elaine had long walked out of the restaurant, so they didn't hear Calvin's loud threats. For a time, the atmosphere between them was somewhat awkward as they walked side by side along the busy commercial street.
Seeing the student couples walking past them from time to time, Kingsley tried hard to strike up a conversation. "Uh... There are quite a lot of couples in this university...”
Elaine was startled for a moment. Then, she replied in a whisper, "Yeah, there are quite a lot of them."
Kingsley replied, "Well, it's pretty good to fall in love... Ahem..." At first, he wanted to start a conversation by chatting about some light-hearted subjects before slowly steering the conversation to talk about Professor Albright. As he spoke, however, he also felt there was something wrong with his words. Consequently, he hurriedly hemmed twice and
clammed up.
Just then, a little girl holding a handful of roses walked up to them and said to him, "Mister, would you like to buy some flowers for your girlfriend?"
"Uh... We're not dating..." said Kingsley. Just as he wanted to say no, he thought it'd be somewhat ungentlemanly of him to do so, for it'd make Elaine look bad. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the flowers from the little girl. "How much is it?"
Seeing her empty hands, the little girl answered in surprise, "One stalk is 5 bucks, so 50 stalks are 250 in total!"
