Leto Part 2

The clock cannot tick faster nor the sun set earlier. I am just sitting here in the study area, this is the depressing dark part of the library. I cannot believe this is still part of the library, it is corrupt with the smell of cigarette smoke, cheap cologne, mint sweets and sweat. I have actually never seen the Library Guard do his rounds this side. It is best I find my way home and prepare for the night ahead. The campus bus is right on time, and the friendly driver is back on duty. I hope he has completely healed from his kidney infection. I rushed to the bus stop, stepped onto the bus, swiped my tag and greeted the bus driver with a pleasant smile and asked him how he was doing, he was not completely healthy, but his leave days were exhausted and had to get back to work. I felt sorry for him but proud that he is doing his best for the well-being of his family, such men are becoming scarce these days.

The bus ride can be thirty to forty minutes long, depending on traffic. When I sat down I felt exhausted and drained. All day long I have been thinking about Leto, he has become an absolute obsession, so I took this time to rest my mind and take a nap. I have to end this madness tonight before I have a meltdown, my head already feels heavy. The bus ride felt too short compared to other days and as soon as it stopped I was out the door. I took a brisk walk to the student residence, I thought I should burn some calories ahead of tonight’s dinner.

I rushed to the shower room as soon as I got to my room, I had already picked out a lovely blue cocktail dress the previous day, but I did not want to be too dressed up, so I toned it down with black pumps. I continued to visualize the impending date as I got ready. My questions were ready. I will ask him about our relationship, if there is any. I will ask him about our phone calls and text messages. He once said we are bonding, what bond is it?

Oh No! What was I doing? What have I been thinking?  Look at the time! There is no no turning back, Leto will be here soon.
