Chapter 17 - Sixteen

Camille's POV

After an exhausting day,and getting home late a good shower was just the therapy.

Letting out a sigh,I opened the glass door of my bathroom leading to myroom,turning to my window I noticed itwas already dark out which was a bit surprising.

I'm very sure the sun was still setting earlier

W

alking to my desk,I stared at my vanity mirror and just stared at my reflection then suddenly his face overlapped mine

"Can't stop thinking about me?" Andre said with a very very seductive smile "you don't know shit Andre's reflection" I bit back with a red face " I do,I was such a good boy today wasn't I ? and very forgiving" he said with a smirk "you're not real,your just a reflection" I tried convincing myself more so than him "am I?" The knock on the door broke my haze and I blinked "come in" I replied as I adjusted my bathrobe "hey,sweetie um so I- I heard you talking to yourself?" Mum spoke like she was treading waters "oh,um I was on the phone with Theo"the lie found it's way out of my lips,

Liar,you spoke to all three of them earlier

I couldn't tell her I was talking to Andre Makeila's reflection,she just raised a brow at me "well cool then,Dad won't be back till the morning so don't wait up for him"

Oh

I nodded softly and obviously disappointed "I'm just glad this is almost over,I'm sure things went well with you and Andre" she declared with positivity "they did" I affirmed with a smile and remembering our little chat made me smile more " he's taken sweetie" my mom's statement made my eyes widen and my face warm up "mom!!,oh my God,it's not-I don't" "I'm teasing okay" she assured my with a laugh "do get some rest, you had a tough day and I hope you learned from it" she dropped a pretty box on my drawer " should help you sleep better" she stated and gave me kiss on my cheek and they inflated with a smile "good night" "night bee" and my door clicked shut.

Facing my mirror again,I put my curls in place with flexi rods,sprayed some home made coconut oil and wrapped my silky black scarf on my head cause I'm not a bonnet fan. finishing up my simple night routine I hopped into bed and sunk deep into my pillow holding the box mom gave me,opening it up revealed a large scented candle.

I kinda thought it was something else

I was extremely touched nonetheless,and it was a scent I'd kill for mint and citrus, lighting it up with a lighter from my bedside drawer and placing it properly,I clapped and the light went off.

In the dark with a calm scent engulfing me,I reflected on the past few days and how it all turned out which led me to think one thing after all the drama.

Hope there won't be more where that came from?....

A week later

Andre's POV

"Well,well if it isn't our little gem" Vasily,one of the twins said with playful mockery,I just rolled my eyes at him as I stepped out of my sports car

You're the little gem

"Aren't,you looking and dressed a bit too hot for someone who was hospitalized " Vincent,the other twin spat out "I was discharged the night you guys visited and I'm a model,it's my job to be hot" I pointed out "oh yeah" they said in sync which made my vain want to pop,they were fucking with me and I wasn't ready for this "can you both not be pricks to Andre for one day?" Levi interjected as he strolled towards us and the rest of the team "it's not our fault he's teasable" Vasily spoke with an innocent face making

Our other team mates laugh, the twins finally gave me a proper welcome as well as the rest of my teammates and captain

"we"ll be having practice today. you up for it?" Levi asked as we walked with the rest of the gang to the main building "Levi,I'm good and I'll be there" I stated knowing what he was worried about ",I'm better okay?" I assured,he nodded in understanding "I believe you so I won't go easy on you" a sly grin made its way to my face at his declaration "back at ya" I spoke softly with fiery determination in me and we fist bumped on it "I'm excited for the new semester of a new session guys,it's going to be fire" Vincent stated like he had seen the future "let's just hope it doesn't get dramatic as last semester" Levi spoke with a sigh as he adjusted his glasses "for someone who can be a drama queen,you sure hate drama" a teammate upfront yelled "that's 100 push-ups for you fucker and I'm telling coach" Levi voiced out with a scowl causing all of us to burst into laughter.

In that moment,I realized that I missed this,the team,the sport. Since I started playing the sport,last week was the first time I had to take break because of an accident and it was really hard for me. Oriena was understanding about my frequent mood swings and I promised to make it up to her with a surprise my manager was helping me plan.

"See ya later folks" Vasily stated as we were all heading our separate ways,a few people I knew and didn't know greeted my with hearts in their eyes as I passed by, it wasn't surprising the whole Hazel Incident was a viral thing.

Strutting to the Dean's office to submit a new medical report, I was excited about the new semester had for me and what college life was offering next and somewhere in a corner of my mind I was excited to see "her" my mind was reeling in the delusion of what the semester had for us....
