Chapter 11: The Talk

Dylan Windell's POV

After what I did to Daisy and how she was responding to my kiss, I went out of the lab. I cannot think why she would be happy if I was kissing her. By her reaction, I know that she was happy that I was kissing her.

Bloody Hell!

I was breathing heavily before I was getting out of the laboratory and I was making my way to the Physics building when I was looking at Maya. She was waiting for me for the information that she might have for the research.

"Hey, do you have a minute? I think I might want to tell you about the animality that I have found in the research. I wanted to talk to you earlier but you were gone," she said as I was nodding at her.

"Come in. I think we might need to sit down if you were serious about this," I said as I was trying to put on my brave smile. I cannot let Maya know that I was having some thoughts on the way from the lab.

"So, tell me," I said as we took our seats and Maya was presenting the chart that she brought with her.

"Here are the composition that I found in the meteorite. Interestingly, I found the same composition in one of the mountains that were being looked at in the Midwest. I think you might want to check that up as well," she said as I was reading the chart and the composition of the materials in it.

"Who might I contact if I wanted to get there?" I asked her as she was mentioning one name.

"Chris Yang. He was the one that responsible for the expedition outside NYU," she said as I nodded at Maya. I looked ta her before I smiled.

"Well, thank you for the help then," I said as I was going to the door before I held it for her.

"And I think I have one more thing to say," Maya said before she was smirking at me. I arched my eyebrow at her.

"What is it?"

"If you were to have some tryst with someone and meeting everyone else after that, you might want to check your appearance as well," she said before she went out of the office. I was pondering on the statement before I was looking at myself in the mirror.

"Bloody hell," I mumbled as I was looking at myself.

My clothes were disheveled and I was having this lust in my eyes. I rubbed my face with my hands as I was taking a deep breath.

I think I need a fucking shower, pronto!

Daisy Dyer's POV

"So, how did you find the campus? Pretty exciting right?" I asked Ella before she was scowling at her. Maybe her tour was not that exciting after all.

"You told me that my graduate meeting was Hannah," she said. So, that's what she was not having a good day about because of my lie. I laughed at her.

"And?" I asked her as I was arching my eyebrow at her. Her face darkened at me as she was thinking of ending my life right now.

"Turns out it was Lea. You knew!" Ella said before she laughed at me. I smiled.

"I know, you missed us so I might have been playing some pranks," I said before Ella was talking about her meeting with Lea and then Silas came out. I stiffened. I don't think Ella knows about Silas and Lea's past as well.

I heard that he was a sexual predator so I might as well warned Ella right now before she was found in a compromising situation with him.

"Stay away from him. That man is good for nothing. He was the one that broke Lea's heart and being lecherous with the females' graduates. I don't even know why the faculty was being tolerable with him," I said as I was looking at Ella. She nodded before I sighed.

Ella will be going back to Seattle tomorrow. I think I might miss her here but no matter. If she decided to enter the program, we will have so much time together later on. After dinner, we went to hit the sack as I was too exhausted to think of anything else. Moreover, I don't want to think about that kiss that we shared.

Damn Dylan Windell!

I hopped into the shower for I wanted to get my mind of anything else. But it was not working. You see, when you're in the shower, it was much more vivid for me to think of the kiss as I don't know what to think of anything else. I grunted before I went out of the shower and get into bed.

I was laying on the bed as I was staring at the ceiling. I sighed before I was looking at the clock. It was 1 AM.

Bloody hell!

I was not getting any sleep. I have to sleep. I have so much to do tomorrow. Ella will be going to the airport at 7 PM and I have to be there to send her. I have to finish my lab tomorrow morning if I wanted to be out of the lab as soon as possible.

Without meeting that douche as well.

I sighed before I was laying on my side. I tucked my hands under my cheek as I was staring at the wall. I don't know when or how I was sleeping but I did and I was grateful for that. As long as I was not looking like a zombie tomorrow, I will be happy.

I was staring at the breakfast that I have prepared for Ella. She was eating it wholeheartedly. But for me? I was staring at the coffee mug as I was thinking about my possible meeting with one Dylan Windell.

"Are you okay?" Ella asked me as I snapped my eyes to her. She was arching her eyebrows at me before I was smiling at her.

"Peachy. Why?" I asked her as I was sipping on my coffee. She shrugged.

"No reason, it seems that you have been spacing out since last night. Is something wrong?" Ella asked me as I was laughing at her. I shook my head.

"Nothing, it was just the thesis was due in a few days. I just hope that I can get it forward to the boards. I don't want to get rejected again," I said as I was playing with the edge of the mug. Ella nodded.

"I would not miss it for the world," I said. Ella nodded.

"Good, I don't want you to," she said as we were eating breakfast before I have to get to the campus to do my reading.

Once it was 9 AM, I was sitting in front of the mass spectrometer and I was looking at the door for Dylan to come. Thankfully, for the whole time that I was using the lab, I did not see him, which I was happy. I sighed before I was getting out of the lab after I was finished with my stuff that day. I opened the door as I was looking at the hard chest that I knew so much.

Dylan Windell.

"Well, if it was not the murderer's daughter," he said as I was moving to the side to get out of the lab. He blocked me. I turned the other way. He did it again. Then, I sighed before I was glaring at him. Windell smirked at me.

"Can you please be out of my way, Windell?" I asked him as he was making a motion that he was thinking about it. Then he shook his head.

"Why do you want to be in my presence if you can't stand to be in my presence?" I asked as I was arching my eyebrow at him. Windell shrugged.

"Nothing, maybe I wanted to irritate you after all," he said as I was gritting my teeth. I looked at the watch. It was 5:30 PM. I need to get home fast.

"Please let me go, Windell,"

"Nope,"

"No?" I asked him as he was looking at me. I rolled my eyes at him before I was pushing him off the door. Then, only then, he moved aside and I was free from his overbearing self.

Dylan Windell's POV

I was smirking and amused with the petite person that just shoved me when she wanted to get out of the lab. I don't think I wanted to hold her father responsible for my father's death and shame. I think that was none of our business anyway.

I sighed.

What was I doing? Provoke her until she hated me? That would be great if I don't know that she was enjoying my kiss so much. I think I need to get out of here and maybe take some time off from here.

I think one month would be enough but then I have that conference to be with Lucia and Daisy. I shivered. I hope I can mend our relationship then.

Only I hoped Daisy will see the effort of me doing it.
