Her Miracle Mate novel Chapter 10

He walked up the stairs to sit towards the back of the lecture hall and motioned to the space beside him for me to sit down.

I sat down and took out my notebook and pen just as the teacher walked in.

I don't even write anything in this class.

I was just being fidgety and was sure Sven knew something about me that I didn't. I need to know what it is.

"Well?" I asked him in a low voice.

"Hmm?" he asked, pretending to be absolutely oblivious.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" I asked, visibly bothered by his answer.

"I do."

"Well then, say it!" I asked him. "And don't give me something really stupid."

I was whisper-shouting now.

His lips curved into the smallest smile as he stared blankly at the projector screen in front of us.

"I know who you are, Rayne."

I mulled over his words and stared at him for a whole minute.

He knows who I am?

What?

Do I know who I am?

"I don't understand, Sven. What do you mean?" I asked quietly.

His smile just grew wider and he said without looking at me, "You'll understand. Don't worry."

"Sven, please tell me what you know," I asked him in an exasperated tone.

He turned to face me and put a finger up to his lips, his eyes sparkling playfully. Then he faced the white board again, as if carefully listening to the teacher's every word.

I sighed and gave up. I know when to stop pushing and I also know he's having a wonderful time knowing something that I don't.

That too about me.

...

Suffice to say, Sven didn't leave my side the entire time at the university. I trampled on my curiosity with shoes of self-respect and decided to pretend as if his actions didn't bother me at all.

He doesn't want to tell me? Fine.

He could easily be lying too.

"I'm not lying."
