ANMELDENADRIAN'S POVI sat in my office after the class had ended. Had she noticed I was acting off?. Or maybe I was reading too much into this.I kept replaying our last conversations together. What did she really want to tell me?I already knew exactly what she wanted to tell me, or maybe I thought I did. And that was the problem.If I knew exactly what she wanted to say, why didn't I stop her?. I should have made the boundaries between us clear as day, but I didn't.I waited for her to say it. I leaned back on my chair as I rubbed the bridge of my nose. Rosa suddenly walked into the office. She couldn't even let me think for a minute.“We need to talk” “About?”“Lily Carter?”“Do you find joy in talking about Lily Carter?”“Cut the crap”“Rosa I'm not interested in this topic anymore”“You should”“Why so?”“Because people have started noticing”“The only person noticing what isn't there is you Rosa”“You know know what I mean”“I actually don't”“You won't admit it”“There is nothing t
LILY'S POV I spent my weekend wondering what Rosa meant by what she said. I kept spacing out while trying to study or do my project. It was exhausting. I was exhausting.On Sunday night, Kayla came to the room. I hadn't seen her since that awkward wave in the hallway. It was surprising she came to me first.“Hi Lily”“Hi” “Can I sit” “Sure”I lifted my pillow up and made space for her on the bed.“Lily im really sorry about what happened, I mean it this time”“You didn't mean it the other times?”“It did. It's just more genuine than the others”I let the silence between us stay before I spoke up.“Kayla, it's fine, but I'm not sure I'm ready to forgive you tho”“Ohh”“We can still talk, but I'll still need my space, if that's okay”“Yes, it's fine”She said, flashing a fake smile.“You look like you have been spacing out. Is everything alright?”I was about to tell her about Professor Adrian and Rosa's warning, but I immediately stopped myself. There was no way I was going to let K
I still couldn't get over what had happened yesterday in professor Adrian's Office, the way my heart raced when he said my name and the way my face flushed.It was all I could think about. No matter how hard I tried to forget, it kept coming back. But I needed to act naturally because I had his class today.On my way to class I bumped into Kayla. I hadn't spoken to her since after that day. She gave me the most awkward wave ever before she scurried off like a lost puppy. After what happened we definitely needed space from each other. I was tired of creating excuses for Kayla and her bad temper. She needed to learn and I needed to rest.Plus I wasn't going to risk spilling the beans of this whole Professor Adrian paranoia to her. She would flip. Not like anything of it was her problem anyways.I had finally gotten to class. Professor Adrian stood at the foot of the class as he watched students file in and take their seats. His eyes finally landed on me who was still standing at the do
ADRIAN'S POVI sat in my office as the door clicked shut and my shoulders fell in my seat. I stared at it for several seconds before I finally shifted my gaze. I shouldn't have noticed how soft the dress made her look. I shouldn't have noticed how she smiled when I said her name.I shouldn't have enjoyed her being flustered. But I noticed it all, and I enjoyed watching her squirm.That was the problem. I had noticed it all, and I still enjoyed it regardless. I was her professor, and she was my student. It shouldn't be this way.I walked over to my file cabinet and took out Lily Carter's file as I stared at it for a moment too long. I found my fingers tracing the picture of her at the corner of the file.I jolted when I realised what I was doing. This was the first time I had done this to any student. I wasn't short of my infamous reputation of turning down female students who would often confess to me in person or write emails.I had been so confident in the facade I had built of
LILY’S POVI got up really early the next morning. I don't know why I got up so early anyways. Maybe I was just so curious. I wasn't even having his class today.I actually didn't have any class today but what was the harm in waking up so early because you were curious about what your Professor wanted to tell you.I was curious right? It was nothing but curiosity right?. It had to be. I told myself this as I got into the bathroom. When I got out the the bathroom, Audrey was staring at me.“What are you doing so early? I thought you didn't have classes today” she said, her voice still groggy.“ Well I don't, I just have a meeting with one of my Professors” Audrey immediately shot out of bed when she heard ‘ meeting with my Professor’ “ When you say meeting with one of your Professors, you mean the hot young one right?” She said as she looked at me hopefully.“ Yes that one” Audrey squealed with excitement as she turned to face me.“ Relax, it's just a meeting. He wants to know why
LILY'S POV When I opened my eyes it was ready morning and I was in my dorm room.Audrey was crouched beside my bed with her head bowed. I slowly sat up as I tried to recall what had happened from the night before.My movements seemed to have startled Audrey as she immediately lifted up her head. She stood up and brought me a glass of water from the table.“ How are you feeling?” Audrey asked as she placed the water in my hand.“I'm okay, just a bit tired” “ I'm sorry about yesterday I didn't know the kind of person Marcus was, I'm…” I cut in before Audrey could finish “Audrey it's fine, as long as you were able to help me and people were able to see who Marcus really is, it's fine” Audrey smiled as she got on my bed and pulled me into her arms for a hug. She held me for a while before I spoke.“It was really crazy of me to try and forget something that didn't happen by going to a party.” I said “ Forget what exactly?” Before I could tell Audrey about the dream I had about Profe
