I let the warm water from the shower fall above my head and cascade down my body. My eyes are close, wishing to calm my nerves from being stiff. My mind is busy thinking of some diversions from what happened earlier in the living room.
I click my tongue and heave a heavy sigh of frustration. I take a shower to calm myself and not to think of that heated scene. But then, my mind is out of my control that it ticks the memories of me and Professor Fortez on the sofa replaying in my head.I feel goose bumps as I can’t take to believe that I responded to his kisses. I don’t even know how I did it. Maybe it was my instincts doing. Or maybe it was just because Professor Fortez is a great kisser that he enticed me to respond to him. I don’t remember engaging myself into any sensual activity. That kiss was my first.
I shake my head. Whatever the reason, I don’t want to remember it again. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t re“My review quiz covers from chapter one of our lesson up to chapter six. I hope you have listed some important points in your notes since the beginning of our discussion.” Professor Fortez said sternly.Nobody dares to say a thing after that. My block mates are surprisingly in mute mode today. I know they are confuse like me as to why Professor Fortez suddenly changes his mood. I am bewildered too. But we don’t have a choice but to obey him.“No question? Let us start now. Number one, a blank is a collection or list of objects, quantities or numbers with specified properties. It is usually denoted by capital letters such as A, B, P, X and Y.” he stated the first question for the first number.My jaw automatically drops because of the type of test he uses. Of all the type of tests, why did he chooses to use the fill in the blanks type? I don’t have an idea where did he get that question. There are so many chap
Like a bucket of cold water suddenly washed over me, I felt numb. A surge of panic infiltrated my system as I remember the cold eyes I saw. Void with any emotion, they were like telling me that I have done something wrong. There is something inside of me that is making me want to follow him and leave my friends here. I know that I am not just imagining it. I can feel that he’s hurting. Knowing that I somewhat pained him, the more I’m wanting to explain this misunderstanding. “Does it tastes good? Did you like it?” my thoughts were interrupted by Mark. I give him a faint smile even though I am just force to do it hence I don’t want to be rude. He did nothing wrong with me. “The sandwich is delicious!” I told him though I can’t taste the sandwich anymore. My brain is focusing on something else right now. “Really? I made it myself and I’m glad that you liked it.” he said. His eyes are twinkling in delight. I didn’t respond but
It’s Thursday. I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock in the bedside table. My eyes are still close as I turn it off grumpily. I yawned. It is just six-thirty in the morning. I’m still feeling lazy to get up from bed because I still want to sleep and pursue my broken dream. As I stare in nowhere, I could clearly remember my dream last night. I couldn’t believe it but my dream was so vivid that it also led me to question myself if it was really a dream. In my dream, Professor Fortez and I were cuddling together under the covers. We were both on the same bed, I was in between his arms, his hand was gently brushing my hair and my face was resting on his chest. I was also hugging him tightly, feeling his soothing warmth and my joyous smile was visible in my face. We looked like a married couple. I was about to confirm it by looking at my right hand when I was interrupted by the noisy sound of my alarm. I groaned inwardly. Annoyed I got up and went
My mouth almost slipped, it is a good thing I stopped right away. Otherwise, I would be engaged into a scary scandal again. The first scandal I was involved in happened last semester, when the University Paper broadcasted that I liked Mark Mendoza. It was printed on the cover page of our second volume. And of course, the culprit behind that news was my two beloved friends. They managed sneaked in behind my back even though I am the Editor-in-Chief of the University’s Publication. I don’t know how they did it I only know that my name was put into controversy. Even though I tried to clear the issue, the people in the university obdurately disregard my words. Even until now, that issue didn’t die down. The shipping is still on and they are still patiently waiting for a result. And now, if I blurted it out that I like Professor Fortez, I sure know, that before this day end, I will be the topic of gossips in the university. I can imagine
I gulp and look to my right side, I slap my forehead lightly because I forgot that I don’t have seatmates right now. Kyle and Zein Rose, my usual seatmates in this class, are absent today, so I am alone here at the last row of chairs. “MISS VILLARAZA!” yelled by an irritated voice. I shift my eyes to look in front, where the voice comes from. There, I see Professor Guevarra smiling at me, but, if you will look in her eyes, you can see the displeasure in it. Her smile can deceive anyone but not me. I can easily read her. She is a cunning professor in the university.
“Don’t tell us… you were also there to seduce Professor Fortez?!” they unpleasantly assumed. Their eyes are gleaming with extreme naughtiness. The smirks on their lips are annoying, which are starting to irritate me. “N-No! Of course not! Even though Professor Fortez is really a good looking man, I will not stoop that low just to make him notice me!” I disgustedly said. ‘I have never seduced Prof. Fortez. It is the other way around, because he is the one, seducing me.’ I want to tell them that, but I change my mind. It is not yet the right time. “Tell us why you are there, then. You’re making us imagine things already.” Fauna said impatiently as always. This girl doesn’t really know how to wait. “Yes, Fauna is right! Actually, I’m already thinking that you are secretly fantasizing him, that you want to get him to bed and do the nasty.” Floara remarked. She is laughing teasingly at my frowning face. Yes, she is right that I am se
“Why are you doing the groceries? Don’t you have a nanny to do that for you?” Professor Fortez suddenly asked. He is fastening the buttons of his shirt now. “I live alone.” I answered him shortly. He paused in fastening the last button and turned his gaze to me. He is narrowing his eyes in my tiny figure. “Why are you living alone? Where are your parents by the way?” he curiously asked. I plan to ignore his question, because I don’t want to talk about it. He is staring at me intently as if he is saying that I need to answer his question because he’s ready to wait patiently. In other words, he is demanding for an answer no matter what. But I keep my mouth shut. “You really have this habit of ignoring my questions, Tiara.” he shook his head and sighed in disappointment. He finished buttoning his shirt. He is about to wear his necktie on and I can tell that he’s struggling to knot it. I walk to him and grab the long piece of cloth in his h
We arrived at MF Condo Towers. Professor Fortez is carrying all my groceries. I volunteered to carry one of the six big plastic bags, but he didn’t let me. He said that he can carry all those on his own. I just shrugged my shoulders and just let him do as he pleased. He removed his coat and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. His muscled forearms are showing. I diverted my gaze immediately to avoid being tempted. We rode the elevator up to the tenth floor, where my unit is located. While waiting to arrive at my floor, I stared at our reflection. I cringed at how he looked while carrying all my groceries. “Are you sure that you don’t need my help? Those are heavy.” I pointed out at the plastic bags he is carrying in both hands. His protruding arm muscles and veins are clearly visible in my eyes. I force to drag my eyes up to his handsome face. “It’s nothing. These are actually light compare to the gym equipment I carry every weekend.” he calmly
