Weekends are a time when Mia has plenty of free time. He doesn't have to go to college nor does he have to go to work. He can do whatever he wants at times like this. You could say, the weekend is a precious day for Mia.

Eight o'clock and forty-five minutes, when Mia had just finished her morning walk, she accidentally ran into Sir Wishley, or more precisely Lucas Wishley, a substitute lecturer who is currently replacing Owen on his campus.

If a glimpse of his face, sir Wishley should have been a man who already had a partner, or perhaps a petite baby. But I don't know, Mia doesn't need to know about such detailed things. That's none of his business.

"Good morning sir." said Mia who was actually not sure if the man could recognize himself among the hundreds of students who took the same course.

With a little surprised but still guessing who he is, sir Wishley replied to Mia's greeting. "Hi, good morning, Miss.."

"Mia sir's. Allura Mia. I took the macro economics courses you taught me." Mia explained about herself. Sure enough, the new lecturer did not know him. Mia should have pretended not to know just now. But he's already gone.

"really. I remember your face." Wishley smiled, looking a little awkward. "Just haven't remembered all your names yet." Mia can understand. Who would remember the names of hundreds of students in just a short time.

"Do you live near here? or are you just taking a morning walk?" sir Wishley asked starting a new conversation.

"I live near here sir. It just so happened that I wanted to go to the morning supermarket that was at the end of the street." Mia explained. "And I accidentally saw you. I'm sorry sir, I don't intend to waste your time."

A faint smile was clearly visible on the face of a Lucas Wishley. "It's okay Miss Allura. On the contrary, I'd be happy if we could have a conversation other than during the lecture hours." sir Wishley's face looks better.

"I just moved in about a week ago, so I don't know this place very well yet. Thank you for meeting Miss Allura."

"No problem sir. Then I'll greet you on another occasion. Enjoy your weekend sir."

"Welcome to the weekend also Miss Allura."

After she finished shopping for her needs for one week, Mia went straight back to the apartment. When she wanted to enter the elevator, Mia saw the car that Owen had used to pick her up parked in the basement.

Mia's heart immediately beat faster, because before the car was not there. Which means Owen just got back. It's clear that the man didn't come back last night.

Mia wants to see Owen. Mia should also talk to her lover. Mia wanted to know what was the reason Owen stopped so easily without saying anything to her.

With a slightly faster pace, or half run Mia up the stairs to get to the floor of her apartment. It looks impatient but Mia doesn't care. All he thought about right now was meeting with Owen.

Did Owen knock on the door and stand there when there was no answer? Mia wondered, did Owen now also have the same thoughts as her? think they should talk?

...❄️❄️...

"Owen?" call Mia. A moment Mia could catch that Owen was unaware of his presence. Hearing Mia's greeting, Owen immediately turned around and was a little surprised when their gazes met each other.

"Sugar palm's. I guess..?" owen's hand pointed to Mia's apartment. Justright. Owen was waiting for him. Mia smiled faintly, "I went to the supermarket to buy this." Mia glanced at her grocery bag. Mia stepped closer then passed Owen to open the door behind the man.

"You wanna come in? I'll make you breakfast." hail Mia. Owen followed to enter Mia's apartment and closed the door behind her.

"I thought you were mad at me and didn't open the door" said Owen, who was following behind Mia. "Is that why you just stood there?"

"I was just thinking of a way to see you." Owen said quickly.

Mia immediately went to the kitchen to put all her groceries, while Owen only arrived at the guest room.

The room was without a bulkhead, so Mia could see Owen as well as the other way around.

"You want some warm chocolate?" Mia took the two cups in her hand, "Sure."

...❄️❄️...

After making a drink for the two of them, Mia immediately brought the drink to where Owen was sitting at the moment. Since the room wasn't as big as Owen's, Mia could notice Owen from where he was.

Owen was more reserved than before they parted ways at the last meeting. Mia could sense that her lover was currently thinking about something else.

"You want to tell me something? you look tired too." Mia placed the cup in front of Owen then placed it hers as well. "Thank you dear."

Instead of reaching for the cup Mia had just given him, Owen grabbed Mia's hand and pulled the girl down until Mia fell in his arms, then Owen hugged Mia.

"I just want this. I really miss you sugar palm." Owen didn't want to say anything. All he needed right now was a place to regain his consciousness..

...I'm sorry for being this selfish, Mia.....
