28 Revealing Mystery: Part 10 (2/2)

I was looking around us thinking if anyone saw us like this because if someone did I'll be the campus celeb which I surely don't wanna be.

”Can we talk?” Rex said looking at the bench of the nursery of our campus.

”Uh!” I hesitated for a bit.

”Please?” He said again this time looking at my eyes with his brownish alluring eyes. The goldenlight of the sun fell on his face and hair. He looked like he was prince straight out of a modern fairy tale with his tall figure and eye capturing looks.

It was hard to say no those eyes. He held my hand lightly as we walked on the pebble path inside the nursery. The gardner here takes great care of the nursery. Greeneverywhere! It felt so peaceful.

He made me sit on the bench and sat beside me.

I was firm as a stone. Not moving an inch because of the awkward situation I was in.

”I...” He started talking with voice full of hesitations and awkwardness.

”I always kept myself away from relationships. Girls disgusts me sometimes because of their clingy attitude and selfish desires,” He said looking at the birds who were busy making nest on the branch of a tree.

”My mom....she left...left me and dad a long time ago when I was small. I never got the love and care of a mother. You can say that's why I'm so rude and cold all the time because no one taught me how to love,” He said looking blank.

”Rex..I ” I wanted to say sorry but he hushed me closing his eyes.

”When you came in the middle of the year everyone was talking about you as our Josh noticed you first with his Samantha. The boys were finding a chance to talk to you and all which made ignore you even more because I'm not one like them. I don't give girls a chance in my life because they always leave at last no matter how much you love them. I saw it with my own family so I was blinded by that,” he said without stopping for a bit.

”But I think you are not like others. In fact you aren't! But it took time for me to understand that because I'm too blind by my hatred. I'm sorry.. I ..,”

”It's gonna be spring soon!” I said interrupting his thoughts, ”It's gonna bring new flowers in the garden, new leaves, vanishing all the fallen leaves of winter. Perhaps you can pick up some fresh new flowers for your vase and start again!” I said looking at his face.

He was smiling! Rex was smiling! I've always wondered how Rex will look if he smiles. Seeing him smiling like this in front of my eyes filled the deepest core of my heart.

”Perhaps you will help me choose the flowers?” Rex said looking at me.

”I'm here,” I said smiling back.

”Sorry for holding you here with me for this long. It must be inappropriate for you,” Rex said being sorry.

”I'm happy you held me here!” I replied back and got enbarassed understanding how weird it sounded.

”No I mean I ...am happy cause you uh shared” I tried to explain but got stunned by his beauty of laughing. Rex was laughing now making sound which made him look so amazing. It was a sight to watch! I laughed with him at my dumb reply because his laugh made me laugh too.

”Haha OK let's go or you will be late for home. Lemme drop you home,” He said smoothly giving me no chance to deny.

I heard a footstep behind me suddenly as we were going back but saw nobody.

”Is everything ok?” Rex asked looking back at me slowing his pace.

”Yeah it is. No worries,” I said being unaware of the situation.

”I'll go get my car,” Rex said as we stood outside the nursery. When he came back riding his car I became shocked because it was the same car. The black Mercedes Benz which I saw that evening when I was surrounded by the thugs.
