Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Today is my first day at New York University and I'm nervous as hell. I mean I was going to college before I transferred and after my father's company issues, I had to stay off the spotlight.
I'm seated in the car with Adrian who had personally decided to be my driver himself.
I was glad he agreed to it and this morning, he had delayed me by five minutes because he refused to let go of me. He kept hugging me and telling me that he couldn't let me go because it would hurt him too.
"We are here," I said to him.
"And do you know what I want to do now?" He asked me.
"What?" I asked.
"I want to drive back home now and lock you but that would be selfish of me. I u to be happy. To do you and have an identity for yourself and maybe I'm a little selfish but you know I care for you a lot. I just don't want to see other men staring at you although I know that is impossible and if I could, I'd tell you to not make any male friends then I know that would only make me come out controlling. It's just..." He trailed off sighing.
I took his hands and interlaced his fingers with mine.
"Look at me," I urged him and he did look at me.
"You keep talking as if I'm going away from you forever and it's surprising you know," I chuckled lightly.
"Firstly, I'm only spending weekdays here and every Friday, I'd go back home to you and spend it with you. In two years, I'll be done and we will be together. Besides, you can still drive and come see you when you have the time but that would be too stressful. I'm trying to do well in school too. If I have to go back home every day, trust me, there will be a time I won't be able to because of tests and studying," I explained to him.
"I know that baby. I know that and that's why I agreed. And like I said, I may be sounding selfish but I care about you and if it was towed, I'd lock you in my room all day," he chuckled.
"But then I can't do that because you also have your life to live. I want the best for you. I want you happy and that's all that matters to me and let everyone see your ring all of the time," he said and I lifted my fingers for him to see my ring.
"Will do. I can't let them think I'm single and besides, you are the love of my life and I'd love to show you off but at the same time I might have to keep your identity hidden so as not to be looked at differently, I hope you get?" I reminded him.
People know Adrian a lot. He is very famous and they know he is married but I doubt my face would be recognized by anyone and Adrian and I already spoke about it.
I wanted to keep a low profile and enjoy my life like every other college student although I have always been one to hide. I would rather be alone than making friends and it was easier when Sarah was around.
If people got to know that Adrian was my husband, I believe that some would only approach me because of him and I won't be able to make genuine friends.
"I love you, baby girl. Should I follow you to your dorm?" He asked.
His car is tinted so it would be hard for anyone to know that he was in the car with me.
I shook my head. "No. Not at all. I don't want anyone seeing you or recognizing you. I'd help myself with my belongings and besides, it's not much. They are just clothes I'd wear for this week because I'd be going back this weekend so you see, we will be reunited before you know it," I told him.
"Of course, we would. I'm beginning to feel that you won't miss me. Do you know that an hour without you is like a day? So imagine twenty-four hours and then twenty-four hours times five days. That's a lot and it's like you are fone already. I'm missing you already," he placed his palm on his chest and began to act as if he was dying. I couldn't help but giggle.
I hit him on his arms lightly. "Stop it, baby?"
"You are so funny. You won't die and besides who told you that I won't be missing you too. Trust me when I tell you that I'm missing you already. I've gotten used to you and you do not know it," I countered.
"I doubt that. You are so eager to go away from me I mean do you even care for me?" He said, feigning hurt and I snickered.
"Stop it, baby. If you act like this, I would only feel bad and besides, it's not like we are far away from each other. Trust me, five days isn't much. You go to work and you won't realize it. Time will pass and before you know it's Friday and I'm back in your arms again," I told him.
"Yeah, yeah. I've heard you. Five days ain't much," he said.
I cupped his face in my hands. "I love you Adrian and I know that you know that but I am telling you this so that you know that I love you. I promise we will reunite soon," I told him before placing a small kiss on his lips which turned heated as Adrian had not failed to deepen the kiss. He pulled me closer and kissed me as if it would be the last time he kissed me.
"I love you, Sophia. Don't worry, I will manage but make sure to keep your phone with you all of the time because I'd be calling to check on you, is that clear?" He said and I nodded my head.
"Yes sir," I giggled.
