And second, I got lost.
Eventually, it turned out that the university was much bigger than the one I was enrolled to.
"Excuse me, sir."
A man looked at me in the face.
"Yes, boy?"
"Could you tell me where the headmaster's office is?"
"Why do you need to go there, boy?"
"They told me to meet up with the headmaster."
"They?"
"The government."
"Ah, I see."
"So, could you tell me where the headmaster's office is, sir?"
"Of course. It's 200 meters to the left from here."
"Thanks."
I was about to walk away when he grabbed my shoulder and turned me back around.
"However..."
"Yes?"
"Do you think you can get there, boy?"
"Yes. Of course."
"Good." He let me go.
"Sir."
"Yes, boy."
"How about the door?"
"The door?"
"The entrance door. Which one should I enter?"
"You mean the backdoor or front door, boy?"
"I think backdoor."
"You think?"
"Yeah, backdoor."
"Okay."
He pointed at the front door. "It's 200 meters in front of you."
"Thanks, sir."
"Don't forget the pass."
"Pass?"
"Your pass. Do you have a pass, boy?"
"Yes. Of course."
"Where is it?"
"Here."
I pulled out a card that was given to me by the officials.
"Let me see it, boy."
"But—"
"Come on."
He snatched the card and took a closer look.
"Daniel Lowe..."
And here comes the nightmare...
I now had a need to thank God for doing this.
If He ever existed, of course.
"Specimen, aren't you?"
I would rather not talk any further thus had nodded to such an unpleasant rhetorical question that you knew what the answer was: Yes and no.
"Sorry for intruding your privacy, boy.
My condolence for her death, but you shouldn't have been there at all."
I'm aware. No need to make me apply a cold water to burned area.
It was my fault as to what had happened to her, no matter how accidental.
Either way, I still remembered what happened back then. A few months ago to be precise.
***
It was a cold night during the winter.
A night I would rather forget, but have to remember instead.
We had been warming each other in a blanket with no strings attached.
"Lea, I love you."
"I love you too, Daniel."
I could feel her warmth as we embraced each other.
It was as if time had stopped for us.
"So, what will be your plan after graduating from university? Or do you want to straight marrying me instead, hm?" A smirk was formed in her face, as if she never had any remorse after.
Lea Taylor, dubbed as the greatest scientist of this century, had adopted me as her son from the institution 2 years ago. However, despite of such a relationship, I couldn't help but see her as nothing sort of a stepmother, but a caretaker. Or else, more of an older stepsister.
To me, she was both mother and lover who adore me the most.
She was 25 years old when she adopted me.
I was 18.
She is a beautiful girl.
Her beauty was so outstanding that she was often compared to Venus, the goddess of love.
Well, not that people had done so.
I did.
They usually thought she was a pure beauty, but I would compare both because it was far in my point of view.
She has brown hair that seemed to have a hue of black on it, and her eyes were deep brown.
She has a perfect face with a symmetrical jawline, with her pointed nose added more to her facial features.
She also has a well-endowed chest. 34B cup size is perfectly average for someone as beautiful as her.
Her lips are so luscious, that whenever I kiss her, I could feel nothing else except the taste of her silky red surface.
Her legs are perfect as well, not too thin nor thick, with her thighs appeal as if those were begging to be ravaged.
Her butt is also a masterpiece, a bubble butt with the right amount of fats and muscles.
In conclusion, she was the epitome of a beautiful woman, a true Goddess in a form of a brilliant scientist.
She then had taken my virginity a year later after been adopting me.
I was young and felt the hunger of understanding biological reproduction systems.
She taught me quite gently as she began to instruct me some advanced things to do for her right from the warming-up session. And as she spread her legs, I couldn't help but let myself be guided by her instructions to fill her woman's cavity.
It had been anything but tedious as I ended up enjoying this supposedly stepmother's tight wall by myself.
For me, it was one of biological experiments to remember with me as an object to her sensual desires.
And after such an event, it felt as if it had been so natural for us to do this casually everyday.
"That is a tempting offer, Lea. But..."
I looked into her eyes and held her hands. I couldn't think of anything else except to tell the truth.
"What kind of question is that?" I could only let out a light laugh.
"But seriously, I want to be like you. Someone who makes an impact to the world."
She gave me a light smile. "Sure, I believe you can do that, or better. Who knows."
She then continued. "So, what about your answer to my question?"
"Don't tell me you just want my body." She teased me playfully, nudging my shoulder.
"No, not like that! I mean, I do enjoy it but doesn't mean it's just limited to that benefit." I couldn't help but react to her teasing.
"Hahaha, alright. So?"
But then, I continued,
"Well, about your question, I don't mind marrying you now. We are already family, anyway."
I kissed her lips,
"But we're still far too young. Marriage isn't something you can just play around with. It's a big decision that should be thought over many times."
"You're such a smart-ass, Dan."
She had her arms wrapped around my back, feeling the muscles, "Do you have any girlfriend yet?"
"No, not really. But there are some girls who were asking me out, though. I just refused them without further explanation."
"Well, they'll get over it."
"Yeah, I suppose."
I pulled her even closer and hugged her tightly.
"Hey, Lea, there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
"What is it, Dan?"
"I have told you about my dream before, haven't I?"
She then put her hand on her mouth and stared into space.
"Oh, that's right, I forgot! You said you want to make an impact, didn't you?"
I smiled at her, "Yes, and that's not the only thing I want to say."
I took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Lea, the truth is, I-"
"Sorry, Dan. Can we talk about this another time? I think I need to take a break for a bit. I'm a bit tired."
"Hey, you don't have to be so serious."
She pouted as if she was mad at me, and then she said...
"You have a bad habit of always being so serious, Daniel."
"I will go and continue my research on space."
"And what about me? Will you still be able to take me with you?" I said as I tried to hide the bitterness in my voice.
"Don't worry, Daniel. I'll make sure that we'll get the chance to do it again someday." She said in a reassuring tone.
"Promise?"
"Yes. Promise."
That was the last time I saw her.
Also the last time I felt her warmth as we have had a forbidden relationship with each other.
As she died during the experiment conducted on her own lab.
***
Lea Michele, 28 years old, a passionate scientist who thrives for her best when it comes to her own pursuit of research. She has passed away while conducting her own experiment. Nothing was found but stuff at her lab as the evidence. No traces found, not even fingerprints were there.
I was stumped by her death, but I remembered something that she has told me before...
***
"What are you doing, sweetheart?" I kissed her, attempting to get on her nerve.
"Hey, stop it! You silly..."
"Haha, sorry. I was just curious what you are up to in this lonely night."
"Daniel, thanks to you I cannot get enough sleep." She punched my gut.
"Ouch! Well, doesn't matter. You know how much I love you, right?"
"Let's not talk about that. I'm really busy right now. Can you leave me alone?"
"Ahhhh~ why?" I teased her by whimpering like a child, wanting to get pampered.
"What I'm doing right now is important. And I want to let you know that I will leave all of these to comfort you and have a good time for the rest of my life. Understood?"
I only nodded to her, but deep down wanting to resist.
"See? You really are good at being obedient."
Her lips then touched mine once more, the scent of acids stung into my nose as she fervently inserted her tongue inside mine, making a delightful sound of clicking and smacking.
"You know what? I changed my mind. Maybe I'm really thirsty for you after all."
She then slides her lab coat smoothly down to the floor, attempting to seduce me by her currently indecent appearance with no strings attached. I could only gulp seeing such a tempting scene as we finally continued on what would have been our final night together.
