I squinted my eyes at Sir Hart, well, I am more like glaring at him with my accusing eyes. I never told him anything about my background. It is obviously suspicious.
He doesn’t look dangerous though so I don’t feel alarmed. He just comfortably sitting there. His lips are displaying a pleasant smile that any woman would love to see each day. His eyes are sparkling due to the light from the chandelier in the restaurant we are in. Is he my stalker?
That thought almost made me roll my eyes to myself. I felt too conceited.
He looked at me amused. “I didn’t lie. I’m actually here for vacation. You got it right, I am an agent but I filed a leave. I just want to enjoy life for a while. You’re too straight forward, Tiara. I haven’t encounter someone like you before.” he gently spoke while looking tenderly in my eyes.
I gawked at him. “Should I panic now? You seemed to have background check me already before approaching me earlier.” I said sarcastically.<
He tried to get near me again so I couldn’t help but to freak out. “Stay away from me!” I managed to say while trembling in so much fear. I had developed this kind of anxiety because my dad used to hit me whenever he was upset of something or whenever he wanted a plaything to pass the time… It was horrible and extremely terrifying. Totally lost in my thoughts, the images of my bad memories with my dad in the past three years formed in my mind. Opening my eyes, I was welcomed with the bright light. Only to recognize that it was from the lights inside the room. I was disoriented for a moment so I close my eyes once more. Hoping to see someone, I opened my eyes but only to be greeted by empty space. Feeling disappointed, I assessed the place where I was, instead. Judging by the white ceiling, four cornered walls, and the sound of a beeping monitor, I conclude that I was in one of the rooms of a hospital. I frowned. ‘Why would I be here?’
My breathing stopped. My eyes almost bulge out of their sockets. I am wondering if my ears heard him correct. I don’t know, maybe my hearing is just playing with me. Because I heard him just said he loves me. Can you believe it? ‘Cause I can’t! Most importantly, it is not quite normal for a college professor to say to his student. It is a sudden confession to at least time I expect it to occur. When in fact, it shouldn’t be! I could almost totally lost in my own thoughts if not because of the kind of stare he is giving me. The way his eyes stare is like he’s digging deeper into my soul. After several seconds of almost hyperventilating in my mind, I find the courage to meet his gaze. “Are you out of your mind, Professor?!” I asked in horror. He smirked at my reaction. “To answer that, my mind is completely intact and perfectly functioning so, no I’m not out of my mind.” he replied. The visible smirk is not leaving his face.
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.
