Chapter 3: A Sudden Embrace
"Hello mom, I have reached Landford safely." David called her mom the moment she sat inside the car sent by her mother.
"You're there?!" Darci responded with a squeal.
"Yeah, mom. Calm down." She let out a light laugh as a reaction to her mom's sudden squeal.
"How can I calm down? My daughter is going to enroll in world's most prestigious university. You can't believe how relieving that thought is," David, heard her mom sniffing from the overside of the phone.
"Mom, you're crying?! Mom, please…"
"Who said that I am crying? It's just some tears of joy. Never mind, what's the time there?"
"Well… I don't have any idea either." David reached out to the driver and poked him.
"Yes, Ma'am?" He responded.
"What's the time here?" she asked while making her mom hold on the call.
"It's um…12:45 AM, Ma'am." The driver answered and focused on driving.
"Oh mom, it's 12:45 AM here." she replied to her mom's question without realizing that it's midnight already.
"What?! 12:45 AM there?! Gosh, how can you check in the dormitory at this hour? Their gates closes at 10 AM!" Darci's sudden scream left David deaf for some seconds.
"Mom, I told you to calm down. Don't worry. One night at the hotel won't do harm. The first thing I will do tomorrow morning is moving in the dorm, okay?" David expressed her thoughts after thinking sometime of what to do.
"Hmm….Okay. I will send the address of your dormitory to your driver then. Be safe. And don't forget to call me tomorrow after moving in your dorm."
"Fine… mom. Talk to you later. Good night."
"Good night, dear." David hung up and put her phone inside her white purse.
"Mr. Richard." She called the driver. The driver pulled the gear to neutral and looked back.
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Please take me to a nearby hotel. I will stay there for tonight."
"Five star or Eight Star, ma'am?"
"Up to you."
"Alright, Ma'am"
David let out a small sigh of relief after the Mercedes U turned, and she leaned on the soft back seat behind her as she closed her eyes. At last she can move freely now in this foreign country, without getting uncomfortable around her bodyguards. Of course, she has no bodyguards here! The thought of freedom made her smile subconsciously.
…
Soon she reached the hotel, Da Ville. As he driver, Richard took her to an 8 star hotel, Hotel Da Ville was the best choice. Even the hotel is near the dormitory, at least he can say that by looking at the Screen shot of the map of the Central Dormitory sent by Darci to him and the address Darci messaged.
David checked in the hotel, the receptionist handed over her key card.
…
It's 5 AM already. The hotel room where David is staying is pitch black as the curtains are covering windows, which is refusing the dawn light to enter the room.
Suddenly someone knocked in the door. The knock was light, but as the environment was pin-drop silenced, even a light knock sounded very loud. Which resulted David to wake up. She got off the fluffy white bed and opened the door.
"David Wallace?" A deep, cracked voice echoed around her room. David looked carefully at the person in front of her. It is a tall old man. She noticed it has turned all of his hair grey, though this man's posture is straight as ever. He was wearing a hearing aid and his heavy rectangle glasses were noticeable.
"Yep," She let out a small yawn, "David Wallace is me." And answered with a sleepy voice.
"I am Brad, from the Central Landford Dormitory and your assigned Dorm Manager." He paused, and took a quick glance at David, unfortunately she was wearing a baggy orange hoodie and X sized comfy pants as her pajamas which was hiding her feminine curves, because of that the manager mistook her as a boy, "Well, Mister. I am sorry to interrupt your goodnight's sleep but I am afraid that you need to move inside your designated dorm at this hour. The sooner the better and after some hours the students will start for their day that will make difficulties for you to move in." David didn't notice that he called her Mister in the first of his sentence. She just nodded, sighed, and replied,
"Oh, okay. Please wait for me, I will get back to you in a few minutes!" David closed the door and in a flash, she got ready for the dorm. She did nothing really, just included her big rounded glasses, a black cap, and a black face mask with her baggy hoodie and comfy pants, as she was feeling extremely lazy to put on fresh clothes.
'Huh, who cares what I am wearing' She shrugged at her own thought.
…
"Mr. Wallace, this is your designated room. Your roommate has already gone away to attend classes." David once again didn't hear that the tall old man addressed her as Mister.
"Oh, ok." She got inside the room and to her shock, the room was crystal clean, there was no existence of a single dust on the room. She roamed around the massive room, exploring. There was one enormous bathroom, one kitchen, and a king-size bed was in exact middle of the room. She noticed another door beside the kitchen. She turned the doorknob and realized that the door is locked.
"That's another room for the other roommate of yours, currently it is being renovated and re-organized. That's why I am afraid to say that you need to share your bed with your other roommate." Brad said while going outside of the room.
"Oh, I see! Well… I don't have any problem sharing my bed, you know." David looked into Brad's ice-blue eyes, "After all, sharing is caring." And smiled, where only her big light brown eyes were visible as half of her face was covered by the face mask.
"Glad to hear that. Therefore, I will be off then. Have a great stay here." David closed the door and went into the bathroom right away to get re-freshed. Meanwhile, outside of the room the old man Brad was standing in front of dorm no. 303 which was David's dorm room, and was thinking if the voices of boys' of nowadays' are more female likely or David's individual voice sounded kind of female likely because of his hearing aid? 'Geez, boys nowadays, their fashion including their gestures are turning more feminine day by day.' He left his spot while sighing and adjusting his heavy glasses.
…
The entire day David spend was inside her dorm. She didn't want to go outside and spent the day away by watching dramas on her jPad.
It is almost 11 PM now, and she's feeling sleepiness is slowly taking over her body. She turned off her phone and went to sleep.
…
The bedsheet covered David, and she was sleeping soundly before a sound of heavy breath broke her sleep. Her eyes wide open and she's trying to figure out from where this sound is coming. Soon, she realized that the deep breath was coming from another person, who seemed slightly taller than her as the sound was coming from above her head. She pushed the sheet away from her head, tried to see the person beside her. She could totally sense another person's presence beside her. Maybe it's her roommate. She tried to look at her roommate's face, but she again realized that her roommate was embracing her tightly as if she was the body pillow. Even if the embrace was tight, yet she tried her best to get out of the hug and see the face of her roommate. And she succeeded.
Well…to her shock the person's facial structure was more male likely, the person beside her had a symmetrical long face, with brown messy short hair. Who knows, her female roommate looks like a male in actual life. Wait, no….IT IS A GUY!
