My Prince Of Edinburgh's

Chapter 29. Gotta Want!

Dara could barely digest all the lessons delivered by the lecturers down there. His mind continued to be filled with Braden's shadow. Yesterday afternoon, the young man just took him around Edinburgh without taking him somewhere.

Braden's chat was no one to lead to a statement of like on him, as said by Allison. It all feels mediocre. To be honest Dara was disappointed, but, he couldn't expect much.

The class of the day was finished with a stacking task that had to be completed during the next meeting. Dara exited the class with shaky steps. The energy seemed to be sucked up a lot in there. His mind is divided and that makes him tired.

Dara hoped that no one would drain her energy after this. But hope remained hope when he saw the figure of Nicholas approaching him.

"Please don't bother me" said Dara.

"I want to apologize for what I did yesterday afternoon."

"You're really apologizing? All right, I forgive you." After saying that, Dara stepped quickly to leave Nicholas.

"But what I said is true." Nicholas aligned his steps beside Dara.

"Which one? You said a lot of things."

"About .. I like you."

"Hhhhhhh!" Dara exhaled his breath rough. He shook his head slowly while continuing to walk out of the campus area.

"So how?" nicholas asked who was following him.

Dara stopped her steps. He lifted his face while shaking his waist. "So, what do you want?" tanyakanya. He really did not have any more energy to argue with the young man standing before him.

"My mother? You're my girlfriend."

Dara rounded her pair of eyeballs. "You're serious?"

"Very seriously," answered Nicholas steadily.

"If I don't want to?"

"You gotta want to."

Dara hissed while shaking hands. You forcible forcible, grunts in the heart. He thought, The world is strange. The person he expected to express his feelings of liking to him, indifferent. While the person he did not expect at all, actually expressed feelings for him. Dara wondered why it wasn't the other way around.

"What's the reason you won't accept me as your girlfriend? You know, this is the first time I've expressed my feelings to a girl."

"Omong empty!"

"Give up if you don't believe."

"You want to know why, Nic? A bunch. You're a bitch, you're a bully, you're a forced, you're rich and spoiled, you're arrogant, you're ...."

"Hey!" cut Nicholas. "Is there not a single good in me that you can see?"

"Hmmm ...." Dara stroked her chin. " There's. You .. breng sek."

Nicholas. "That's it! Be honest if you like me."

"What?" Dara flabbergasted. Look how annoying that blue-eyed young man is. I just assumed about his feelings.

"If you don't like me, you won't memorize all my traits. That is, you always think of me."

"Where's the theory, Nicholas Johanssen?"

Nicholas chuckles. "My own theory."

"Wow! A very valid theory," the girl quipped.

"Thanks, Dara."

Dara clucked. He didn't know what else to explain to Nicholas. "I like other people" he said later.

"Yeah, yeah. Your boss's ex-girlfriend, isn't she?" lady Nicholas.

"His name is Braden, Nic. Bra-den!" obviously Dara was upset.

"Whatever!" nicholas shakes his hand. "You must remember my words about that young man."

"You think Braden is bad because you envy him, don't you?"

Nicholas passed his hand. "Wrongly," he said as he swooped Dara's nose with his index finger, making the girl hurriedly brush off his hand while grumbling.

"Because he's just using you for ...." Nicholas has trouble expressing his opinion. He scratched his head while thinking of finding the right words to explain it to Dara.

"To .. anyway he just wants to use you. I don't know the reason but you have to trust me."

"It's unclear!" gerutu Dara while continuing his steps. He doesn't want to listen to Nicholas anymore. He'll have to work in a minute anyway.

"You know what, Dara?!" exclaim Nicholas. "I haven't played a woman since I dumped Sophie?!"

Dara raised one hand without looking at Nicholas. He continued walking without caring about the young man. He breathed a sigh of relief that Nicholas was no longer following him.

"How was your date?" allison asked when Dara had just arrived.

"What date?" Dara tried to hold back her smile. He put his bag in the locker.

"With Braden of course," chuckled Allison.

Dara gave up her laugh. "There's no date, Ally," she replied.

"Yet. Maybe soon."

Dara looked at Allison in astonishment. This boss why is so eager to match him with Braden. He really doesn't understand what it means.

"Braden only thinks of me as a friend" said Dara bitterly. Not without reason he assumed that. In fact, Braden was indeed mediocre towards him.

"Braden is shy if he has to express his feelings first to a girl. Maybe you should change the method."

"Huh?"

"How about you first express your feelings for her?"

Dara swallows her saliva. His throat suddenly felt dry. Express his feelings first to Braden. It's kind of crazy. But, he was a little tempted to follow Allison's advice.

"Come, Dara. We live in modern times. Women today do not have to wait and wait. It doesn't always have to be pursued, but we can also pursue."

Speaking of the modern age, not everyone lives by the ideology of the modern age. For example, the Nicholas family, Dara thought in her heart. Gosh darn. Why was Nicholas again coming to his mind.

"Just try, Dara. Consider it a challenge."

Allison's words were so seductive. But, his heart was filled with doubt. Dara type thinker. To the extent that he thought about how if his prediction was wrong. What if it turns out Braden did not accept his declaration of love.

Better wait a few more days. Observing the signs in Braden, whether the young man really likes him more than friends or not.

Dara stopped the questions going back and forth in her mind as buyers began to arrive. He busied himself that afternoon by serving buyers with a variety of characters. At the very least, his brain could take a break from that confusing affair of romance.

In the afternoon, Dara was again surprised by Braden who came to pick her up. Despite being surprised and astonished, Dara felt so elated.

"Have fun, Guys!" allison exclaimed as Dara said goodbye.

As she was already in Braden's car, Dara was unable to hide her nervousness and awkwardness, making the young man frown.

"You okay, Dara? Do you need to go to the restroom?" asked Braden who saw Dara several times change his sitting position.

"Mmm .. no. I'm just ... I'm looking for a comfortable sitting position."

"I see." Braden. He refocused his eyes on the road.

"Braden ...," call Dara.

"Yes?"

"Why do you pick me up every day?" ask Dara. Let's just say it's a lure for Braden to express his feelings to her.

"Because I want to," answered Nicholas short and impressed.

"That's all?"

"While it's just that. Whether tomorrow or the day after, maybe my motive for picking you up is different" Braden said.

Dara smiled thinly. I don't know what Braden said, which is clear, he felt something was stuck in his chest. But he has trouble explaining it.

He had to swallow a little disappointed when Braden pulled over the car in front of his apartment building. The young man did not take her anywhere.

"See you, Dara" Braden said as Dara opened the car door and rushed out.
