The next day as promised Tristan picked me up at 8 pm sharp from the library and we were on our way to his house. I couldn't help but steal glances at him from the corner of my eyes. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt under his black jacket followed by his black jeans which were sexy as hell. I noticed his chiseled jawline which had a hint of stubble that made me lick my lips automatically.
Ugh! Why can't he be ugly like his personality?
I remained silent through the ride and he kept his focus solely on the road ahead of us. He pulled over inside a driveway and I looked outside the window and saw a huge classy-looking mansion.
What else did I expect?
"We are here." He unbuckled his seat belt and we both walked towards the front door. We were immediately greeted by a short elderly lady who had a warm smile on her face inside the living room.
"Good evening, Tristan. Can
For the next two days, things between me and Tristan were too professional that even I was getting annoyed by it. We spoke only about Math and there wasn't a single conversation other than that. He used to pick me up from the library, I used to teach him, and then he drops me off at my house. It was like teaching a lifeless person and I found it really hard to focus."Okay, enough of this! Why are being an extra Asshole for these past few days?" I broke the silence in the middle of teaching and he gave me a surprised look."Awww, are you missing our playful banter?" he smirked, leaning back against the chair and I pursued my lips into a thin line.To be honest, I did kind of miss it. "More like annoying banter. I mean, seriously, I'm the one who should be angry with you." I burst out in frustration, making him raise his eyebrows."Why are you angry with me?" he asked in a serious tone
"I look so funny, Lu. I'm just going to wear my jeans and some t-shirt." I whined, trying to pull down the short black dress to hide my knees. The dress was really pretty with a sweetheart neckline and reached just above my thighs. We were currently in her house, getting ready for the party, and Andrew was supposed to pick us up at 7 pm."Are you kidding me? You look smoking hot. I don't know why you hide behind those baggy clothes." She mumbled, making me sit down in front of the mirror forcefully. After doing my hair and make-up that took around an hour, she finally let go of me. I opened my eyes and let out a small gasp.The girl in front of me looked so different but in a good way. My hair was curled at the ends, giving it a nice bouncy look. She gave me a smoky eye effect with a soft nude shade of lipstick that looked subtle and beautiful. I couldn't believe my eyes. I actually looked pretty and wondered why I never put this effort in t
Let me tell you something, I have been kissed only once in my life before and I was thinking that was how a kiss was supposed to feel like but this, Tristan kissing me, the way he brushed his lips softly against mine as if waiting for me to deepen the kiss anytime which only made me want him more, this was exactly how a kiss was supposed to feel like.My eyes went wide in shock at first but then I felt fireworks explode inside my body and I wanted it more. I didn't care that I was kissing my enemy. I didn't care that he was a player. All I wanted to do was to grab his shirt and deepen the kiss and that's what I did. Maybe it was the drink I had earlier or maybe it was me, I had no idea why I was kissing him back.He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me steady while his other arm cupped my face, nibbling on my lower lip.Woah! Is this how a proper kiss is supposed to feel like?I le
Tristan's POV:'This is over. I'm done teaching you.'- RileyI kept staring at the message on my phone, not knowing what to reply to. I didn't want to fucking end this. Heck, I just had the best kiss of my life and I know for a fact that she enjoyed it too. I could see it from the way she responded. I didn't want to scare her but God help me, I just couldn't control myself when I saw her at the party in that little dress.Christ, she was fucking amazing!I've waited for so long and I was so not ready to give up now. I smirked and threw the phone aside, making up my mind to deal with her in person tomorrow.The next morning, I woke up at around 10 am and decided to pay her a visit at her house. My dad came home yesterday to see us and I guess he was already back on his business trip. I sighed and got out of my bed."Good morning, Tristan." Mrs. Waters, o
I immediately jumped up from his lap and adjusted my clothes. God! This was so humiliating but I was thankful it was just Lucy and not my dad instead."Oh my God! Riley Adams, you have a lot of explanation to do." She yelled, still in shock, trying to process the whole thing."And you, Tristan Harris?" she pointed her finger at him."One moment, ladies." He chuckled and got up from my bed, adjusting his pants before turning around to face us with a proud smirk plastered on his face."Don't you know how to knock?" he glared at Lucy, collecting his books from my study table, and kept walking towards the door.Aww! Was he leaving?"Well, you are one to talk." I scoffed in response and he turned around to look at me with raised eyebrows."I don't see you complaining now, Adams." He winked and opened the door wide, "I'll see you tomorrow then." He left, shutt
"Thank you so much," I smiled at the little kid who was returning the book that she had borrowed two days back from the library.My stomach was already in knots as the clock kept ticking closer towards 8 pm. Tristan would be here any minute and I was freaking out. I knew he had a test today and I really hoped he did well.Besides getting paid, I wanted him to do well and a small part of me wanted to end this whole tutoring as it felt a bit weird to be teaching him and kissing him but at the same time, I was worried he wouldn't want anything to do with me outside of tutoring. Last night's conversation literally left me speechless and I didn't know where we stood exactly. It was like we were having our own private world between the four walls of his room. My thoughts were interrupted by the loud honking of his fancy-ass car and I collected my things to leave immediately.After closing the library, I walked towards his car an
The next few weeks were so amazing that I felt like I was in a dream. Even though I and Tristan weren't hanging out like a regular couple at school, we were enjoying our time together at his house. I continued to teach him and well, we did other things besides that too but it didn't go beyond kissing and I was waiting for him to make the next move. It was sexually frustrating me to the core and I was too shy to ask him myself.At school, I was hardly able to see him as he was busy with his classes and football practice."You need to ask him, Ri. I mean, all this is nice and fun but why is he not making this public? I don't even see him talking to you at school nowadays," she pointed out during lunch and I didn't meet her gaze as she was right and I had no response for that."Well, he did say he wanted no one to know that he was bad at math and that's why I'm teaching him at his house," I explained, more like defended him w
'We are done. Please don't text me or talk to me ever again.'I sent him a text and switched off my phone that night after Lucy left. I also told my dad not to let Tristan in, if he ever comes home to see me.I couldn't sleep peacefully and kept watching sad romance movies to make myself, even more, sadder and finally, I fell asleep, exhausted from all the crying.The next day, I had no motivation to go to school but I had to, so I dragged myself to the shower and cringed at my own reflection in the bathroom mirror. My eyes were all swollen and puffy and my face was pale and lifeless.Don't even get started about my hair.After scrubbing myself clean for the next thirty minutes, I got dressed wearing a black t-shirt and skinny blue jeans. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and tried to look presentable by concealing my puffy eyes and applied some tinted lip balm. Feeling s
