4.0

Roll to the left.

Roll to the right

Then repeat.

Wiiiiiiiihhhhh.

"You'll going to get dizzy if you keep on doing that love."

I already am dizzy but I don't care. I am enjoying this.

I felt the other side of the bed move. Gideon sat down on his side staring at me with amusement.

He then proceeded to join my antics and just roll/unroll my body on the duvet but faster.

I thought he is worried I'll get dizzy?

"What's on your mind Love?" He ask as he was wrapping the duvet to my body for the third time.

"Tell me honestly Gideon. Am I too old to go to college?"

I ask him seriously.

He still continues roll/unroll my body as he answered

"No love. You're never too old to study. There is no age limit in learning."

I'm getting more dizzy but Gideon is still not stopping.

I'm gonna throw up.

"Do you want to apply?"

I nodded.

It is on my throat now.

I want to tell him to stop but I can't. Too dizzy. I think he is enjoying it.

"This is fun love."

See?!

Huhuhu. My sight is doubled now. Gideon stooooop.

"You look pale"

Of course I look pale. I am dizzy already. My throat is burning now.

Huhuhuhuhuhu.

"Love?"

I can't hold it any longer.

I throw up. On the duvet.

"What did I tell you? I am right you'll get dizzy!" Gideon reprimanded as he unwrapped the soiled duvet to my body

He carries me inside the bathroom.

He cleaned my face with wet towel and let me gargle some mouthwash.

"You're blaming me?" I hit hit arm.

"You're the one who told me I'll get dizzy but you" hit him in the other arm "keep" hit him on his other arm again "on rolling me'' I hit him on his chest.

Gideon laugh almost crying.

"But it is so fun love. You're not dizzy anymore right? Let's do it again!"

I jump down from the bathroom counter and went out of the bathroom. Before I pass the door I shouted.

"I HATE YOU!"

I heard his laugh echoing through out the room.

Hmmpff

"Hey Cheese."

"It's Chase Ella." He lift the documents to my cart.

"Same thing"

"Is college fun?" I ask.

"20% fun 80% hell." He replied.

"Oh."

He stops working and looks at me.

"Do you want to go back to School?"

He ask.

"I Am planning but I am still on the fence."

"Well why don't you check out universities around this area then you decide if you want to go back to school."

"Like a tour?"

"Sure if you want to call it that."

"I'll ask Gideon if he can accompany me. Thank you Cheese!"

"It's Chase!!"

With that mission in mind. I went to Olympus floor.

I wave at Scott which he also wave in return.

Gideon's office is close so I knock on his door. In a second his door slides open.

Gideon is typing on his laptop.

"What do you need Scott?"

"Ow you need Scott Gideon? Do you want me to call him?"

"Wha-what?" He looks up and saw me in the act of going out of his office to call Scott.

"No love! I thought you are Scott. Come here love. What can I do for the love of my life?"

Cheesy.

"Well. Can you accompany me on a tour?" I ask as I am walking towards his desk.

He pulls me down on his lap and ask.

"Where? New Zealand? France? Japan? Anywhere you want love."

"University tour as Chris called it." I replied.

"You mean Chase?" He asked. I shrug my Shoulders.

"Hmm..okay but first we need to get your school documents. Tell me the name of your school and the year you graduated."

So I told him and he called someone on his phone.

"They'll send your papers in 15 minutes. So for the mean time just relax while I replied to my emails."

So in 15 minutes I stare at Gideon typing on his computer. He has so many emails as he called it. I can't for the life of me spend my time working at computers for a whole day.

"Sir. A document was sent to your office." I jump from Gideon's lap because Scott suddenly appears out of nowhere. He Scares the bejeezus out of me.

"Good bring it to me."

Scott hands the manila envelope to Gideon. Scott was about to go out of the office when Gideon told him to stay.

Gideon opened the envelope and various documents was inside. My diploma, subject that I take and finally my grades.

"Am I seeing this right?" Gideon ask.

"What?" I look at the documents that he is looking. My grades.

Yup. So embarassing.

"Is there something wrong?" I ask.

''Is my grade not enough for college?" Oh no. I did not think this far.

"Scott look at this and tell me I am reading it right" Gideon ask Scott excitedly.

"Holy fucking shit!" Exclaimed Scott.

"What's the problem! Can't you just both tell me?!"

Gideon laughed loudly which scared Scott. I guess he is not used that Gideon is exhibiting more than 2 emotions.

Gideon wrapped his arms around my waist and said.

"You're amazing Love. Truly amazing."

"I know." Gideon chuckles at my response.

"Ella why did you not tell me that your GPA is 4.0?"

Gpa? What's that?

"No offense Ella but I never thought that your" Scott did not continue his sentence as soon as he saw Gideon glaring at him. Daring him to continue his sentence.

"My GPA you say whatever the heck was that is good right?" I ask Gideon Skeptically.

"Good? Fuck no! It's hella amazing love! I bet you will be accepted to any school you want."

"Really?" I ask. Gideon nodded. Scott is still holding my grade sheet still rereading everything. Disbelief evident on his face.

"Scott." Gideon barked.

"Yes sir."

"Reschedule my appointments "

"Yes sir. Right away sir."

"Stand up love." I stood up.

Gideon grab my hand and lead me out of his office.

"Where are we going?" I ask him.

"University tour love."

"Don't we need appointments for that Gideon?"

He snorted.

Okaaaaayyy.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

We toured 4 universities. I am tired as heck.

We went to Columbia, NYU, Cornell and lastly Fordham.

I am in awe. The buildings are massive. I can get lost here. Good thing the over accomodating directors happily informed me that they have a map. Well that's good.

I did not see many students because according to the director they are in class.

We went back to the office. Thank God that our food is already prepared.

As we are eating Gideon ask. "Tell me love which university you want to apply."

"At first I thought Columbia was good but I did not see the course that I want to take. So NYU is my 1st choice."

"What course do you want love?"

"Well I want to major in English. I want to teach kindergarten then maybe double course with business management. I want to help you."

I really want to teach small children. We will play and watch cartoons all day! I can imagine everything!

"You want to help me run our company? I am so excited! I'll place another desk beside mine or better yet we can share one table!" Gideon excitedly say.

" And Wow double major. Very good. I'll send your application to Berkely and Hamilton."

"Who?"

"The chairman and the president of NYU." He replies nonchalantly.

That's illegal right?

"Gideon what's your course again?" I ask him.

"Well double major also Business management and law minor with economic and statistics in Harvard then Masters and PHD in oxford"

Wow and he is only in his 20s. He has a monster brain.

"Is it hard?" I ask him.

"Studying? Well It is managable. Frankly it is boring in harvard."

"I mean no parties Gideon? Because I heard the director says about parties on the weekends."

"Nope."

"Girlfriends?" I ask.

"No. Love. You're the only one."

"I don't believe you."

"Why? I am busy. I just want to finish college to start my company. Yes there are women who showed interest but I ignore them. There's so many things I need to do than exchange bodily fluids to them."

"Bodily fluids?" I ask.

"Yes bodily fluids. Like this."

Then he kiss me.

Food forgotten. College forgotten. Who am I?

He stops after a few minutes. We are both panting and out of breath.

"Well. I quite enjoy exchanging bodily fluids to you Gideon. Let's do it again."

Now I am the one who initiate the kiss.

I am getting good at this.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"Tell me baby girl. Is Scott saying is true about your grades 4.0 Ella?"

Mark asked.

I shrug my shoulders.

"Why can't I believe that. I would never imagine that you'll have that kind of score base on your uhmm behavior."

My behaviour? Did I hear him right?

I am a perfectly normal human being.

"I don't understand. I just work and study at the same time. I did not care about my grades. I just know that I liked going to our small libraries. I sometimes help my classmates do their homework."

More like forced to do their homework. I Just want to forget those times.

"You're amazing Ella. I hope you'll get accepted to NYU." Charles said.

"Chase you also attended NYU?" Oh Right Chase. Why can't I remember his name?

"I did. It is cutthroat there men. The competition in my class is suffocating. So goodluck Ella."

"Thank you!"

It's been a few days since Gideon submitted my application to NYU.

We are both lazing in bed me staring at the ceiling while Gideon reading the email from Berkely.

"Well love. You got accepted. You can start on the next school year."

Accepted?! Did I hear him right?

"Not jokey Gideon? Are you sure?! Read it again!" I shake his arm in excitement

"You got accepted love. I am 100% sure."

"Oh my God!!" I jump off the bed and do my victory dance.

"I got in! I got In!"

I skip to Gideon's side and grab both of his hands and force him to stand up.

"Celebrate with me Gideon!"

I jump and swayed his arms from side to side.

Gideon lift me to my waist,spins around and shouted.

"My Ella got In! She's going to college!"

He spins around until I get dizzy again.

"I'm getting dizzy again Gideon!" I shouted.

"Oh right. Sorry "he suddenly stops and bring me back to my feet.

I lay down on our bed. Gideon lying beside me.

"How much per sem Gideon?"

"Don't worry about that Love."

"No really tell me. I know you'll pay for my fee. I'll not fight you on that. I just want to know the estimate."

"More or less roughly 80k" he replied nonchalantly.

"Whaatt!!" I exclaimed.

I sat up and stare down at Gideon with disbelief.

"Seriously?! For four years right?"

"Nope."

"Too expensive! What's wrong with this country? Healthcare, schooling is expensive everything. Being alive is expensive heck even funerals cost money!"

"Like I said Ella don't worry about the money. I Got you covered. That is one of the perks of having a rich boyfriend." Gideon said cheekily.

I snorts. It's not like I care about his money.

I lay again beside him. Gideon grabs my left hand. He's playing an unknown game using my fingers. He keeps on pinching and massaging every digit. Out of nowhere he ask a question that made my heart beats erratically.

"Tell me Love When can I propose to you?"
