My Prince Of Edinburgh's

Chapter 8. Riding an Affair.

Dara notices Alison serving the buyer from behind the counter. She was beautiful with red hair and a pair of emerald green sliced eyes.

He compares it to himself. Of course Dara's not as pretty as Alison. There was no reason for Braden to look at him more than his ex-girlfriend.

"Become, come!"

Dara's daydreams are spoiled by Alison's call. The woman had just flipped a small board on the glass door, from open to closed. The clock has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. And Dara's work is done.

"Let's walk with me (Let's go home with me)," Alison asked, wearing her thick coat.

"Okay," Dara replied, commenting on a smile. It just so happened that the direction of their residence was the same. But, Alison's apartment was closer than the store.

"You've known Braden for a long time?" alison asked open a chat between them as the two browsed through the sidewalk.

"From the first time I came to Edinburgh. The shop is close to the restaurant where I used to work. We met at a cafe" Dara replied, recalling her encounter with Braden.

The first time he saw Braden's figure made him feel a strange sigh in his chest.

"And you've been friends ever since?" Alison looked up and looked at Dara.

"Yes. He helped me in many ways."

Alison laughed a little. "Typical Braden. He was always good with everyone" she recalls. "Even sometimes too good."

"Why ... did you break up with her?" tanya Dara ventured.

"Owh, he told you that," joked Alison. "Well, maybe I'm being too stubborn" he regretted.

Dara smiled wryly. "You're sorry?" tanyanya.

"Hmm .. I'm still giving our relationship a chance going forward. But, we'll see."

"I hope you can be together again" said Dara with a painful heart.

Alison smiled as she looked back at Dara. "Or maybe Braden is approaching you right now."

"What's? Oh, no, no. You don't have to worry. Braden thinks I'm a regular friend."

Alison laughed crisply. He patted Dara on the shoulder. It was as if he knew what the girl was feeling. Of course Alison is not a fool who is unable to interpret the way Dara looked at her former lover.

"He's cute, right (He's good-looking, right)," chuckled Alison as she slowly elbowed Dara's arm.

"Yeah" said Dara. Cute and fun. With Braden it was like he was surrounded by positive energy that made things so easy.

"I'm fine if you and Braden ...."

"No, Alison .. me and Braden are just gonna be friends. I think he's still expecting you."

"Oh yeah? You think so? How do you know that? Did he tell you?" flocked Alison. The sparkle in his eyes was unable to hide.

Dara felt, indirectly, that his boss was prying information about Braden and his feelings. Clearly, Alison is still expecting her ex-boyfriend back. Only, the woman was too prestigious to admit it.

"He didn't say anything to me. I came to that conclusion, from what I saw in Braden."

Dara glanced at Alison. The woman lowered her head hiding her smile. A happy smile, it seems.

Dara's beloved London Taxi bike has been successfully repaired by Braden. Not perfect as before, but, it was enough for him to reuse as his transportation to campus and to work.

Dara stopped her steps in front of the slightly open toilet door, as she heard strange noises from inside. His chest thumped as he decided to slowly open the door.

"Geez!" his strangeness when he saw the indecent sight plastered before his eyes.

Two opposite-sex people are blending love with the heat. The girl sat on the sink, and the man stood before her. The girl's clothes were already so messy as was her hair.

To Dara's surprise, he recognizes the man as Daniel Murphy, one of his lecturers. And the girl, it seemed like a student she had seen a glimpse of.

Daniel Murphy is over half a century old. And what is seen by Dara of course is a scandal that can endanger his position as a lecturer.

The two couples were very surprised to see Dara. The three stared at each other for a moment.

"It's not what you see" Daniel explained, tidying up his clothes. His face is now as pale as paper. He imagined what he would face in the future. A sense of regret enveloped his heart, he had to obey the girl who wrestled with him a moment ago, who invited him to do crazy things for adrenaline.

Bercin ta in the campus toilet in the morning is still quiet. Passion and risk made the college ladies toilet that morning so smoldering. Even though the risk really does happen. A student caught him.

"Emm .. sorry, I didn't know if anyone was here and ...." Dara hurriedly closed the door and passed from that place. He quickly left the toilet. He felt so strange seeing two different kinds of humans struggling before his eyes.

"Hey!" call someone from behind him.

The woman in the toilet is now walking beside Dara. "You're not gonna leak what you saw, are you?" He clutched Dara's arm.

"Emm .. It's none of my business" Dara replied as she swallowed her saliva.

"I'm Sophie. You know who I am, don't you?"

"I don't know who you are. And what happens inside the toilet is none of my business" Dara said. He walked ahead of Sophie. However, the woman again aligned the steps beside Dara.

"You know Nicholas Johanssen, don't you?" ask Sophie.

Dara clucked. "I don't know."

"There's no way you don't know who Nicholas Johanssen is."

"So what?" Dara began to get angry with the woman next to her.

"I have a special relationship with Nicholas. All I'm saying is, don't try to tell everything you see in the toilet, to Nicholas."

"Listen, Sophie .. I don't want to get involved with any of that. Let's just say I've never seen it, huh?" Dara pushed the classroom door, but Sophie held her hand.

"How can I trust you?"

"Because I don't care. I don't know you let alone that crazy guy!"

Sophie frowned. "Crazy people?" tanyanya.

"I mean ... Nicholas, or whoever it is. Please don't involve me."

"Nurus ...." Sophie pulled the corner of her lips. "Daniel Murphy will talk to you later."

Dara patted her forehead. Damn it this morning he had to catch a scandal in the toilet. And the most annoying thing is, it has to do with Nicholas Johanssen.

The feeling is not good. He felt he would get into trouble with the young man again. And that's very annoying.
