Professor F novel Chapter 61

After a sweet innocent kiss on the lips and tight hug, August carries her bag and went to the subway station while Flynn watched her leave.

He waved her goodbye until she gets inside the subway train. She looked at his handsome face one last time and waved him goodbye.

She tried to invite him over for Thanksgiving last night while they were in bed.

"W—Would you like to come with me on Sunday?" She asked him.

It took a minute before he answered. He tightened his hug around her waist and pulled her close. "I want to—" He paused. "—but I want you to enjoy this time with them since you've been away for school."

She nodded and felt touched. She felt him kissing her hair. "We have all the time in the world, August."

She smiled. "Okay. Thank you, Flynn."

Her phone vibrated and saw Flynn's message. "Happy Thanksgiving to your parents. Let me know when you arrived. I'll call."

She responded with a big smile on her lips. And after the long commute, subway and bus rides, she finally arrived in her hometown. She saw her parents waiting at the arrival waiting area and smiled at them as they approached her with a big hug.

"Happy Thanksgiving!" She greeted them after giving them hugs. "Flynn says Happy Thanksgiving." She smiled.

Her father smiled and greeted her back, carrying her luggage. "How's the holiday traffic?"

"Not so bad. It was worst last year." She rolled her eyes. "But I'm so glad I'm back home with you! I missed you both!"

"We missed you, too!" Her mother said, smiled. "How's Flynn?"

"He's staying at the apartment. He might also spend time in campus."

They got inside the car and her father drive them home. Her mother was so excited telling her the food she prepared and that some of her cousins and other relatives would be staying over for Thanksgiving.

When they arrived, she saw her small cousins running towards her smiling to give her a hug.

"Augustine!" Rin, her ten year old cousin, called her name.

"Tin! Tin!" Rico, five year old cousin and Rin's younger brother, called her, too.

She gave them a big hug. And then they all went inside where her Aunt Ruth—her mother's sister, and Uncle Jim, Rin and Rico's parents, were waiting. Then she saw her father's niece Grey who brought her toddler twins Tim and Tom with her husband Tucker!

"How's college?" Tucker asked with a smile on his face.

"So—so." She smiled after giving them a hug.

"We're so excited to be here. We want to know how's Pearsons University for you! I wasn't able to congratulate you in person!"

"It's fun. But a lot of hard work and sleepless nights." She complained.

"Got a boyfriend?" Grey teased.

"Ah—" She blushed and looked at her parents who were smiling at them.

"Oh, we should prepare the table now." Her mother said, switching everyone's attention to fixing the table for dinner.

"You can rest and just be with the kids, August. You had a long trip." Her mother insisted and thankful that she doesn't have to talk about her boyfriend, Flynn.

She nodded and watched cartoons with the kids. She remembered to message Flynn that she arrived but when she sent the message, he never opened it. It's just showing received.

Rin borrowed her phone to play games while she sits beside the kids on the couch watching and after ten minutes, her phone started ringing for a video call.

Before she could even grab the phone, Rin already answered the video call.

"Hi!" Rin greeted Flynn's video call.

"Oh, hey there sweetie." She could hear Flynn chuckling seeing August's cousin. "What's your name?" Flynn's accent made it hard for Rin to understand him.

"What? You mean, my name?" Rin asked innocently while scratching his blonde curly hair.

She laughed and gently grabs the phone to join him on the video call. "S—Sorry. This is Rin, my cousin."

"Is he your boyfriend?" He asked her.

Flynn laughed gently. "Yes, I'm her boyfriend."

She blushed as she looked around to see if any adults heard them. "Mom! Augustine's boyfriend is on video ca—" She immediately covered her cousin's mouth.

"I like him." Flynn chuckled. "How's your trip?"

August grabbed the phone and told the kids to stay put while she talks to Flynn in a single couch but the kids went to her instead and tried joining the video call—Tim and Tom trying to sit on her lap while Rin is the side of the couch and Rico is asking Rin to carry him to join them.

"It's fine. A little tiring." She answered while trying to manage the little ones. "S—Sorry. We're pretty crowded here and I'm tasked to babysit these kids."

Flynn chuckled. "That's good training." He teased. "Oh, I forgot. You've been training since fifteen?"

She blushed, understanding that he meant about having their own kids.

"What training?" Rin asked, curious.

She panicked and pretended that she's scolding Rin. "What did I say about staying put and being quiet?"

"I'm just curious." Rin answered, pouting his lips.

Flynn laughed again. "I really like him, August. Anyway, I just want to check on you. I'll let you have fun with them now. Nice meeting you, kids!"

"Alright. Goodbye." She agreed and smiled at him.

"I love you." Flynn said and disconnected the call. She could imagine Rin's disgusted face while looking at her shocked and beet red face.

"Ew! Gross!" Rin shouted as he carries Rico and went to the kitchen calling his mom and telling him about Flynn. "Mom! Mom!"

"Rin! No!" She tried to stop him from going to her Aunt Ruth but she's too late.

"Oh, really? Is he cute?" She heard her Aunt Ruth asked Rin as she joined them in the kitchen while carrying Tim and holding Tom's hand in hers.

"He is! But he said I love you to August! It's gross." He snorted.

They all laughed at Rin's reaction when someone knocked on the door. She volunteered to get it after putting Tim and Tom on the high chairs.

"That must be your Aunt Ruth's guests for the Thanksgiving concert! They're coming over for dinner." Her mother explained. "Let them in and stay in the living area. Will be ready for dinner in a few minutes, anyway."

She nodded and went to the front door. Her Aunt Ruth works as an event organizer for their City Festivals and Celebrations while her husband, Uncle Jim worked for the City Hall as an engineer like her father.

She opened the front door with a warm greeting. "Happy Thanksgiving!"

The guy in front of the door wearing a black hoodie and blue bonnet looked at his phone screen. "Uh—we're looking for Mrs. Ruth Davidson—"

"Yes. This is the place. Come on in." She invited them and stepped aside as the guys walked inside. There are a total of four guys. "You can stay in the living area. Dinner will be in a few minutes."

They seem to be on a band, probably a local band. The other two guys were wearing hoodies and the last guy who came in was so tall and wearing a very familiar dark green hoodie with the Pearsons University logo—letter P—on the sleeve. She had to look up to satisfy her curiosity and her eyes widened in shock when their eyes met.

Pierre reflects the same shocked expression on his face. Her mouth opened. "Pierre?"

"What are you doing here?" He asked, still in disbelief.

"What—I live here." She snorted. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm playing support for this local band this Thanksgiving." He answered.
