Chapter 283 - Our tastes resemble a lot
The next day Jean got ready early in the morning, though she slept late night her mind and body are refreshed. The previous day she had a long video call with all her friends and later she read the books Scott gifted her.
Shoving some of them into her backpack she looked the message sent by Enrick again. It is the time and venue where they will be meeting. As others are still asleep after a long and exhaustive preparation no one have seen her exiting the dorms.
After ten minutes of walk she reached the south block of admin block. A little far from there Enrick is leaning against the wall in his casual v neck t s.h.i.+rt and jeans. He looked so handsome and very charming, if it is any other girl she would have surely drooled over him. But for Jean…no one are more handsome than Scott.
Seeing her coming towards him Enrick Richards smiled and stood properly. "Hi" he said little awkwardly. He never talked with much girls let alone initiate talking with them .
"Hey. Am I late" Jean asked as she returned her smile.
"No… My dorm is nearer than yours so" he smiled and showed her way towards his car.
"Uhmm….Enrick. where are we going" Jean asked hesitantly. If it is outside the campus then they have to register their names and leave…but if any other people see this it will surely cause to rumors.
Scott would start eating vinegar again….and she is not ready to pacify him again…..if he will get to know then he would surely fly to the country on the very next second..
Enrick easily guessed what is going in her mind and chuckled. "We are just going from south end to east side. Even before we could register the private labs some of the other students managed to get it. As you want our partners.h.i.+p to be a secret I asked Jeff to lend one of his personal lab" he explained.
"Oh….he agreed" Jean had once listened how secretive young master Valdez is. He never allow any one to enter his labs.
"hmm.. First he didn"t. But when I said that I will bring Iris too often to campus then he agreed" Enrick told. Jean could see a lot of similarities between Scott and Jeff. Meanwhile Enrick is like Raymond…selling their sister"s to their lovers.
Jean chuckled. "Wait, did you say east side. It is supposed to be only accessed by professors. I wasn"t allowed" Jean worried.
Jeff rolled his eyes internally. "Girl you are logically the owner of this whole university. If you weren"t allowed then who will" he thought.
"Jean, no need to worry. Some of the favorite students of our professors are often sighted there. Moreover this lab is connected to professor Charles"s cla.s.s rooms. If you still feel hesitant to enter through main arc you can use that short cut" Enrick explained patiently. He knew her too well so he made sure he selected that specific lab to work on.
Jean looked at him gratefully. "Thanks Rick. You are doing a lot for this project. I am just sitting here doing nothing" she said guiltily.
"Oh come on Jean. Don"t think much. Let us try hard to win the t.i.tle of best thesis and also the compet.i.tion. It will be enough" he said.
Actually his heart is thumping loudly when he listened her calling him "Rick". It felt d.a.m.n good..
"Sure. I even got that books we tried to find. It will surely help us a lot" Jean beamed. But when she talked about the books she felt bittersweet. She is missing Scott so much…
Whereas Enrick"s face gloomed. He still remember how Scott had bided for books, even without hesitation he had bought with very highest price. He loves her like a crazy..
"Oh.." Enrick could only utter that word. Her face glowed with happiness as she thought about Scott. Giving a more thought about her appearance he realized why she is wearing a high neck t s.h.i.+rt since the previous day.
His face flushed at his indecent thoughts and he didn"t make any more moves to talk with her.. while Jean got busy in texting "who knows who"s. .
After thirty minutes they reached the east side. Jeff"s laboratory is very similar to Jean"s in country X, their tastes resembled a lot. First…the type of cars, now.. the interiors of the lab.
Jeff who is busy in a.n.a.lyzing something when he saw his friends. During Seline"s engagement they have talked quite a bit more that they found their interests resembling a lot.
After all they are twins and they share same interest of their legendary mother….but sad that they couldn"t realize it
"Hmm.. You guys came. Where is Iris" he looked towards doorway antic.i.p.ating that she would come.
Enrick chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Bro, she will come at noon. Don"t fume" he kidded.
"Huhhh.. Fine." He frowned and looked at Jean before smiling widely "You look quite a lot different from your usual appearance…..you are good at disguise" he praised Jean.
"Lot of experience Jeff." Jean giggled and looked around the lab once again "Your lab looks a quite like mine" Jean smiled back.
"Our tastes resemble a lot" Jeff chuckled softly.
Then Enrick and Jean went inside the laboratory.
After almost like five hours Iris knocked the door and gestured them to join for lunch. After working for other fifteen minutes they completed a half part of their interpretation of one book and went outside where Iris and Jeff are kissing each other.
*cough**cough* Jean and Enrick coughed in unison and Iris glared at both of them while Jeff chuckled. Now she understood how awkward her friends would have felt when they use to see her and Scott"s PDA.
After finis.h.i.+ng their lunch Jean looked around the lab. She couldn"t help but feel amazed how their tastes matched like this. Most of the indoor plants he has here are as same as she have in her own lab.
Actually those are her mother"s favorite… "Is my mom some how related to these all" she wondered. But she know she is thinking stupid…
When they are about to leave at evening, Jean came across a photo frame hanged on to one of the wall..
Looking at it she felt her throat dry…
"Jeff, who are these people in this pic" Jean asked loudly…
