What I hate the most

I never went to see Killian in his office and when Isabel asked me about it, I totally brushed it off but not without me asking her to let me spend the week with her.

Unlike every other girl I have met , she was different, smart, lovely and made her presence enjoyable.

Spending the whole week with her gave me that joy I never needed and just like I had predicted Killian never called to ask me why I didn’t see him.

He never sent a text to me asking me if everything was okay and somehow he didn’t mind if I spent the next three years away from him.

My bags were nearly packed already and I stood outside Isabel’s house as I waited for Nic to arrive.

After a long stressful week, I was lecture free from the weekend and my parents were hosting a gala and I knew I would attend.

Nic had already told me he was personally going to come pick up and so I texted him Isabel address while I stood out waiting for him.

When I saw the familiar car drive in I pushed my head out of the building as I tried to look at who it was and just as I had predicted it was him.

Nic, I screamed with excitement as I jumped out of the house and the moment he stepped out I flew into his arms.

Nic held me tighter and kissed my checks before dropping me.

I saw the way his eyes flew around my body as he tried to get the changes that I told him about.

You look good Tess. Nic says as his eyes moved around my body I saw the way he raised his eyebrows tensed as he stared at me.

After telling Isabel goodbye I hopped into my brother's car and we took off.

The ride back to the mansion was almost 2 hours but I knew it was going to be the next two hours of my life.

Is Killian giving you a hard time?

That bastard, I murmured under my breath.

I saw the way his eyes flashed to me but he didn’t keep his hands off the wheels .

You knew he was my professor ? I ask, my voice shaking with fury.

His jaw clenched as his hands tightened against the wheel “ I had no idea” his tone calm and sophisticated. A flicker crossed across his face as he looked back at the road. “I would never keep anything away from you Tessa”

I signed as I turned to face the window as our journey progressed.

Nic's words seemed to have an effect on me and the way his face dropped when I accused him , I couldn’t help but feel bad.

Maybe I was once reacting and nic would never hurt me the way I thought he would.

The rest of the journey followed with silence and tension between us, this was the first time nic and I would ever be in a situation like this.

With Nic, it was always bubbly, calm and made me happy all the time but somehow my allegations against him had made him withdraw totally from me and for the first time he was giving me the silent treatment.

If it was Killian I could care less if he never spoke to me but not nic, not the brother who had protected me his whole life.

Not the brother who made sure I never felt left out, even though he was three years older than me , he made me feel welcomed.

Unlike Killian, Nic will always have a place in my heart and I hate myself for keeping the feelings I had for him.

Over the last two weeks I was beginning to question the way I felt about him. Somehow I found myself wanting to know more about Killian.

After an exhausting one hour drive,we arrived at the beach house in London where my mom and step dad were planning to have the gala.

Nic someone screamed before I could even come down from the car and just as I looked out, the familiar blonde hair bitch ran out.

I watched as nic came out and Leah jumped on him as I stepped out of the car.

Nic kissed her on the checks before Leah turned to me.

“Tessa, I thought you were in college” Leah said to me with a mocking tone.

I swallowed nothing as I forced out a smile from my lips. “Nice to see you Leah”I say as I try to hide the disdain and the anger in my voice.

She smiled in triumph as she dragged nic on not minding if I was even standing there.

I watched them go, the hatred burning my heart as I thought of the ways I could destroy that bitch.

Leah is Nicolas's high school love and even though their relationship had hit the rock a few times they always find their way to each other.

Leah hated me and had told me she knew of my feelings for nic even though she had absolutely nothing to back it up.

The girl was a fucking pain in the ass and I hated her.

My mom wasn’t in, when I entered the house and I knew she and my step dad would be putting things in place to make the gala a success.

As I dragged my box to my room I couldn’t help but notice that my room was the same and not different from the way I left it.

As I walked in, I neatly folded my clothes into the wardrobe. After that I soaked myself in a warm shower as I tried to let go of everything happening right now.

The only thing I had wrapped around me was the towel but the moment I stepped back into my room the familiar smell suddenly hit me.

My breath hitched against my chest as my blood ran cold, the only thing I could hear was my heart beating against my chest.

For a moment, I felt the fear grip me as I slowly turned towards my window and just like I had predicted, I saw the huge manly back facing me and the tattoo of a sword in the middle.

My mind reacted in ways I never imagined, different thoughts flew in my head as I imagined the next words to say to him.

I hadn’t seen him since the last class and really ditched his mansion just to avoid him , but seeing him here created so much fear and tension I never knew I had.

What was he doing here, in my room alone?

Ki…ll..an”I struggled to drag the name out of my mouth as I held tightly to the towel.

He turns immediately to face me and I swallow nothing in particular as my eyes travel to his hard chest.

When Killian looked at me , I saw the mischievous smile suddenly cut across his face.

He moved from the window and started approaching me as he closed the space between us while I stood rooted to one spot.

Once he covered the space between us , he slowly sent his hands into my hair as he dragged the wet curls of brown hair in his hands.

Do you know what I hate most ? He asked as his eyes dimmed and his jaw clenched.

I nodded my head sideways, unable to say any words out of my mouth.

Tessa, he drags my name in a low but deadly tone.

I raised my head up as my eyes ran into the cold lifeless eyes.

“You disobeyed me”
