Chapter 466 - Again? (7) - Sienna's POV

Moving my things into the dorm that Rika shared with Luke, everything was neatly placed, including the nicely arranged doc.u.ments almost reaching the ceiling. It was almost the same as the dorms I had shared with Alex during the previous two weeks. I really pitied Michelle, seeing how picky Alex was with how everything was supposed to be placed in his room. There was a spot for everything, excluding her bedroom that was her own space. Hearing all of Rika's complaints about Luke, I hoped it wouldn't be the same for the next two weeks.

"Can I offer you a hand in moving your stuff into Rika's room?" Luke opened the door to her bedroom.

Rika's bedroom was more majestic than Michelle. Everything was put into consideration from the curtains to her bedsheets. Choosing the softest fabrics and the ones that absorbed as much sunlight as possible. There was a small table under a mirror, having all the best lotions and skincare brands organized into a certain section. My older sister adored these, always asking our parents for them for her birthdays. I didn't think Rika would like them as well, considering how she hated dressing up in general.

Opening her closet to place some of my clothes inside, most of it was already full of her brilliant dresses and various sizes of her uniforms. Inside the cabinets, it was filled with an overflowing number of accessories. I knew she would never wear these clothes on her own, mostly forced by Luke. Even the shoes perfectly lined up where there was space at the bottom, she complained about wanting to tear the heels off. Luke shot me an apologetic glance, "I can move some of her things out if you need more space."

"I don't mind. I didn't bring many things with me. But can you show me where there's extra space?" I didn't want to move her things without his permission.

"For your accessories, there's an empty cabinet over here," Luke pulled a drawer under the table.

"There is also space inside her closet if you open this side of the doors," he showed how each door led to a different place.

Leaving me alone inside the room to give me some space, I realized how Delia had been right so far. Unpacking my things into the allocated space, I flopped onto Rika's springy bed. This was basically the ideal princess room I wanted when I was younger. Her pillows were warm, the light aroma drifting into my nose. Her bedroom was nothing compared to how I lived with Ian. I already liked the atmosphere inside this room, showing how much care was put in.

Once I left my bedroom, Luke rose from the couch to greet me. Quickly placing down his doc.u.ments, he apologized again, "you may see me using the living room by myself often. If it makes you uncomfortable, I'll move them to my room. Would you like to discuss making some rules to make your stay a little better?"

I nodded my head, "can you let me know what our days will be like?"

I was surprised when Luke expected nothing from me. He didn't care where I placed my stuff in the living room since he was already taking up most of the space. There were no extra study sessions he demanded from me like Alex. Instead he asked if there was more that he could do to help me adjust to his dorm room. Early in the morning, I found myself sleeping in, feeling a bit tired from the move.

"If you don't mind, I brought some breakfast," Luke gestured to the plates of food on the table.

Was this how Delia lived with Luke? All the food on the table was exactly what I ate for breakfast every day. I couldn't believe that he knew all this time. I wouldn't have to rush through my morning routine anymore. With Luke's generous smile, my day lightened as we walked together for classes. During class, he lent me his notes when I looked like I was a bit confused in what the teacher was saying. I never felt so grateful as I quickly caught up, not having to study more on my own with Ian.

These peaceful days continued until he brought Rika into our room. I knew Rika was running away from Henry, ignoring his angry messages myself. Once Henry got this angry, it would take him weeks for some of them to blow off while leaving a long grudge. Rika and I liked the same type of desserts and had similar complaints. This is how we got close really fast. Sometimes, I felt that I could relate to Rika more than Delia, who I have been friends with for years.

Unlike how Luke treated me, he was different towards Rika. As long as she stayed inside our dorm, he expected her to listen to everything that he asked while covering for her in return. Before I could ask Rika if she wanted to sleep with me on her bed together, Luke shot her a look to go inside his room with him. Waking up the next day, Luke was busy helping Rika get ready for school.

Rika struggled to open her eyes while Luke placed some skincare brands all over her body. After changing into the uniform that he passed to her, Rika groggily nodded her head, still half-asleep while Luke chose a bunch of accessories to put onto her wrists and hair. Passing a bottle of supplements for her to drink, Rika g.r.o.a.n.e.d while trying to chug the entire thing at once. Was this how their morning routine was like?
