Tristan's POV:
'This is over. I'm done teaching you.'- Riley
I 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
Tristan's POV:I kept staring at her as she continued to talk with Tyler Whittman by placing her hand on his shoulders. I wanted to pull her away from him and punch him in the face.Fucking asshole!The last few weeks were absolute bliss and I was so fucking happy with her but now it was the exact opposite of that. I knew she was new to all of this so I didn't want to overwhelm her and decided to take it slow but I had no idea why she was angry with me and she was pissing me off further by not replying to my texts or calls.I kept gripping my phone tighter with every passing second and I was almost about to lose my shit, watching them both talk to each other.My eyes went wide in shock and anger when I saw her, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. I threw my phone on the ground with such force that it broke into a million pieces. All the students in the parking lot looked
"So he told, you were his girlfriend in front of the entire school?" Lucy asked as soon as we were out of our classes and on our way to the cafeteria."Yes, Lu and he said Bethany was his friend and he was helping her to make some guy called Mike jealous," I replied, rubbing my forehead.I had a lot of things on my mind and this was all so fucked up. I kissed Tyler for no reason and cried my eyes out for absolutely nothing at all. I did trust him now and felt so bad after hearing him out. What I did was out of spite and it must have hurt him a lot.Ugh!I hated this stupid mess."Yeah, Bethany likes Mike. Don't you know about this?" she asked casually, sitting down at our regular seats at the cafeteria with her cold coffee while I gave her a shocked expression."You know her?""If you had told Bethany was the blonde chick, I would have told you
"Are we done yet?" Tristan whined, placing his pencil down on his notebook."Just solve this problem and then we can take a break," I assured him and got up from my seat to stretch a little bit."I want a break now." He pulled me onto his lap, causing me to giggle."You have to solve it after the break anyway," I smirked and he let out a huge sigh."Fine, you are so mean." He pouted and let go off. I laughed and got off his lap.When I was with Tristan, I felt so happy and alive. I had no doubts anymore and started to feel comfortable around him. He made me feel so special that it actually made me wonder if I deserved it. I never thought I would have these so-called 'romantic' feelings before and he was bringing out the best part of me that I didn't know existed until now.I made my way towards his balcony on the other side of the room to get some fresh air and closed my e
"Oh my god! That was fucking amazing." I laughed and kept jumping up and down in excitement as we came out of a game stall. It was a shooting game and we both won a cute little fluffy panda."It's all yours." He chuckled beside me, pulling me closer, and kissed the side of my head."This is so much fun." I giggled and kept walking ahead of him and my eyes roamed freely, wondering where to go next.Gosh! I was behaving like a little kid. "Tristan!" I called out and turned around to find him looking at me fondly with his hands in his pocket."Umm...I'm sorry for being all jumpy and excited." I blushed, hiding my face behind my locks of hair."Are you kidding? I love it. I'm having so much fun just watching you be all happy and carefree." He took my face between his hands and kissed me square on my lips."It's just that...My dad took me only once to the ca
