Chapter 4
Austin was a sophomore English student who also wanted a change of environment and needed a breath of fresh air, hence he left his humble abode in New Orleans to go to New york. They seemed really happy to meet after a long period of time. Austin screamed ” Fucking Audrey Brown where have you been all my life ” Audrey then replied with a handshake and a pat on his back. He was relieved by what had happened in his life these previous years.
Audrey alsobnever failed to mention to his friend about the damsel he met the night before according to him “She had the most beautiful eyes I have ever come across”. He then promised and made a vow that he will do all he could to get the girl but “how was he going to find her in a city as big as New York” he thought.
He was snapped back into reality when Austin tapped him and reminded him where he was, they had gotten to the Porter’s Lodge, now he was to find the dorm he was assigned to, as he shuffled through the overcrowded hall amidst people’s sweat and heavy Fragrance he noticed the girl he saw at the club the night before or could his eyes be deceiving him?
Again she slipped away from him, at that moment he gave up and shouted “Fuck it”, due to the offensive nature of what he said students started grumbling and demanded an apology from him for using such an uncouth language in an academic setting. Again Austin came to the rescue and was able to pacify the nagging students.
After the whole demonstration, he found that he was assigned to Goddard hall, a popular freshman hall, he had another problem he thought “Who would be my tour guide I barely know this place, I don’t want to get lost or missing” Austin spanked him in the ass and reminded him that he was still with him for a while, he then volunteered to be his tour guide for the day.
Audrey and Austin were practically buddies for the rest of the day, they went to Audrey’s Dorm, they arranged his things and Austin took Audrey for a formal tour of the whole University.
During the tour, Austin showed his friend a run down of NYU and the most fascinating places to be like the Washington Square park, where one could go to after a hectic day, it could either be for relaxing or to maybe just read a book or just to enjoy the view before you.
He also took Audrey to the Kimmel center which houses all NYU Campus s activities, clubs and organizations, LGBTQ center and also one of the most popular dining halls, the Kimmel marketplace. They both stopped for a Quick meal and continued their tour. He also took Audrey on an infamous trip to the university Library.
After the whole tour of the university Campus, they met a group of people who were handing out fliers to freshmen for a karaoke/bonfire session in the night. Audrey agreed to go with the intentions of meeting this mysterious girl that has been clouding his mind since he got to New York. They both parted ways and bade each other goodbye.
On getting to his room, his roommate had arrived and was unloading his things. They did a brief introduction of each other’s names. “Hi I’m Bradley” the roommate said while Audrey replied by saying ” Nice to meet you, I’m Audrey from Cleveland Ohio”. They both discussed each other’s interests, likes and dislikes till what time for the Karaoke session in the evening.
Both roommates bonded really quick and set out to the venue for the Karaoke and they found a host of freshmen just like them who were being inaugurated into campus life by the annual Karaoke session.
Throughout the night Audrey scanned through the whole place for the girl. After a long night of frantic and endless searches he was called upon to sing his favorite song and voiced Ed Sheeran’s Thinking out Loud. Girls were mesmerized by this handsome and well built man singing one of the most iconic love songs to ever exist.
Audrey then decided to take a walk inorder to clear his head and erase his thoughts of ever meeting this girl who he wants to be his mate or who he hopes will eventually be his mate.
He had not gone far when he saw this girl sitting down close to the water side, so he summoned up the courage and walked up to her this time not throwing money at her face.
So he took that giant stride and walked up to her, ” Hi” he said ” Can I Join you for a bit, I mean I just want to hang out” this time she gave a positive response and allowed him to sit near her.
” I’m Audrey Brown,” He said. ” I’m a computer science major” ” I came here from Cleveland Ohio”
“I’m Stephanie” She said “And I know you” she continued. He became surprised how on Earth did she know him before now.
“Your family is one of the most influential families in the whole of Ohio and beyond. You guys have done business beyond the shore of American waters, so yes I know the Brown Dynasty”. He just gave a small laugh, little did he know the kind of disdain this girl has for his family. “I’m from Boston by the way “, “I transferred from Boston University on scholarship and I’m an English major student”
“Ooh so you are an arts girl” he chuckled, “I love arts too yuuno, I’ve read tons of Shakespearean books and Poems and also other kinds of books, I used to enjoy reading as a kid” He said.
She then rolled her eyes and explained to him that she isn’t a literature student but an English student but that doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t love reading books and everything.
She further mentioned that she didn’t come from a well-to -do family like him, her mother had to work odd jobs for her and siblings to be able to live a comfortable life. She only got to transfer to NYU because she didn’t want to go to Boston anymore and she needed a change of environment after what happened at Boston.
There was a moment of silence between them then he broke the silence with an apology “I’m sorry for that night” he said, ” It’s okay I’m used to it already ” she replied. He gave a laugh and said ” I mean it’s bound to happen you are one the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen so it’s normal for guys to want to go out with you” He said.
She just grinned and they both sat down in another round of silence enjoying the moonlight and staring at each other. After a while the Karaoke had ended and all freshmen had to retire to their rooms to rest for they had a stressful week ahead of them.
Audrey wished the night didn’t come to an end as he wanted to spend time with her. So he collected her number and they both exchanged each other’s contacts and bade each other goodnight. SEARCH FOR LOVENôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
