Chapter 413: 413-Maybe He Has A Crush On Me

Helanie: _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

I came back to the hostel feeling all grumpy and jealous. I couldn’t understand why Emmet had to stand there laughing with Sage. He doesn’t usually laugh with anyone. Even when he’s with me, he barely cracks a smile.

"So, what else did he say?" I was brought back to my senses by Lamar, who sat on his bed and yelled for me.

I realized he had been watching me throw a tantrum by kicking my shoes around the room. Lucy wasn’t around, so I was able to let out my frustration without someone commenting on everything I was doing.

"Nothing more," I replied, checking my phone.

"What’s got you all worked up?" Lamar asked, making me grunt and groan.

"Ohhhh," he nodded his head.

I frowned at him.

"I remember," he waved his finger at me, almost like he had caught me.

"What? Huh? What do you remember?" I asked, pretty much getting in his face and bending down to his level.

"Whoa! Threatening me—are you jealous? Oh my goddess, Helanie is jealous?" he teased, making me straighten my spine and fold my arms over my chest.

"I am not jealous. It’s just—listen, he’s my mate, and whether he remembers or not, I do, so yeah—I am annoyed," I groaned, stomping my foot. I didn’t know why I was so worked up.

"What happened to not wanting to be with your mate to defy the Moon Goddess?" Lamar brought it up, calling out my hypocrisy.

"Hey, that’s different. I’m not talking about dating him. I mean, not yet—" I stuttered, feeling so embarrassed for even considering it. "But I’ll be done with my revenge soon, right?" I was hopeful this would be over soon.

"And then there will be no promise to keep." I was so embarrassed to say that out loud that I couldn’t raise my head to make eye contact with Lamar.

"I understand that, but Helanie, what makes you think he’ll wait?" Lamar was now talking seriously once he noticed how much the whole scene from earlier had bothered me.

"You’re right. He wouldn’t," I sighed, giving up on the idea.

"But it hurts, you know?" I lowered my head, my face in my hands.

"Hey, for what it’s worth, the way Professor Emmet looks at you is way different from how he was looking at Sage," Lamar said, making me uncover my face and stare at him.

"How does he looks at me?" I guess I wanted to hear from someone that they had noticed it too—that Emmet does make me feel special.

"Helanie, I am a guy, and when I say he looks at you like he fancies you, I mean it. A guy only looks at a woman that way when he has feelings for her. Even during classes, when you’re too busy, I catch him staring at you in silence. Whenever your head is down, his eyes are on you. The minute you look up, he looks away," Lamar said.
