Professor F

Chapter 65

Thanksgiving Festival

They were in the concert grounds, sitting on the benches set up. August’s Aunt Ruth was busy on the

backstage while her parents are with them. Rin was sitting next to her and her cousin Grey and her

family were in front of them. The stage was all set up and just waiting for the concert to start.

Despite the fun ambiance, August can't help feeling a little anxious since Flynn never left messages or

even contacted her since yesterday. Although he said he'd give her the time to spend with her family,

she can't understand why he would have to stop contacting her at all. It somehow pissed her off but

she has to understand him—reminding herself that he only wanted her to enjoy the time with her family

since she's been busy in school and working part-time.

I think I'm just on that stage where I wanted to talk to my boyfriend all day.

She hated the idea that Flynn might be cheating on her with those pretty college girls but it's haunting

her every now and then. She's dead jealous just thinking about that possibility!

Geez! They're not even flirting with Flynn yet! Why am I so worried? I should just trust Flynn, right?

Pierre, on the other hand, seemed happy since dinner last night. They're officially friends! And he's

been thanking her through text messages after he asked for it.

She sent him a message. Good luck! She almost dropped her phone when its started ringing with

Pierre's name on the screen. She answered, "Hey!"

"Thank you."

She can imagine that smile on his face. "We can't wait to see you on stage!"

He chuckled softly. "Just gonna play in the background, nothing much."

"I'm happy that you're enjoying music now."

He was quiet for a few seconds. "Thank you, August." He paused, as if thinking. "Do you have any

plans after the concert?"

"Aren't you leaving with the band tonight?"

"Yeah, well, just for a cup of coffee I guess. Before we leave?"

"Sure. I'll drop by the backstage then."

"Cool!"

Artists ready?

She heard someone in the background asked.

"Gotta go! See you later." Pierre said.

The call ended and the host started talking on stage, welcoming everyone. Then the band was called

and Pierre was the last to come on stage. The crowd started clapping their hands and cheering.

The members then introduced themselves. Each time they do, the crowd would cheer. And when, Mike,

the vocalist talked to the audience. "And sorry we don't have our bass guitar player tonight due to prior

commitments. But we have one of the best bass players in Seattle, give him a warm welcome, let's

hear it from Pierre!"

Pierre waved his hand before talking to the vocalist's microphone. Pierre's accent and low tone echoed

in the crowd and the girls screamed! "Good evening! Let have fun tonight."

I love you, Pierre! One girl shouted causing the crowd to give out a soft laughter.

Pierre walked away, smiling shyly. Mike then answered. "He's a shy guy. Or probably in love with

someone already." He winked to Pierre who was just smiling.

The band started to play their first song and Grey transferred to the seat next to her when Rin asked to

go to the restroom. "Pierre is really hot."

She sipped from her iced tea before answering. "You're married, Grey." She checked her phone for any

messages from Flynn.

"I'm just saying." She laughed. "Still no message from Flynn?"

"W—What?"

"You've been checking your phone since this morning."

"I was—checking my social media." She lied.

She rolled her eyes. "Oh, just stop denying it. He's probably just busy or he doesn't want to bother

you."

"Yeah, I'd like to think so."

"Pierre really plays so well. I heard he joined a music competition last night."

She nodded. Aunt Ruth must have told them, could not contain her happiness seeing Pierre play the

cello to herself. "He did. He was really good." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh, he looked here again!"

"What?" She got confused. "What are you talking about?"

"He's been glancing on our direction. I really have a feeling that he likes you. It would be ridiculous for

him to be looking here because of me, don't you think?" Grey smiled widely as she expressed her

thoughts.

She sipped from her drink soundly and chose to keep her mouth shut than deny the truth about Pierre

liking her, he even confessed last night.

"Oh my God! He already told you?"

She's more than surprised. "H—How'd—what?" Is she a psychic or what?

Grey giggled while clasping her hands together. "I hit the nail on the head! You should've learned how

to have a poker face, August!" She sighed. "Just sad that he can't date you because you already have

a boyfriend. He's really not coming over? I'd love to meet Flynn."

She sighed. "He's busy."
