LOGINEVELYN’S POVI felt an awful shrill in my spine when I heard I say those words “What did you say?” I asked with an ear bent forward so she could repeat her sentence once again.“I wanted to suprise you..I’m sorry I didn’t inform you earlier” she said with a melancholic tone. What on earth am I even doing? Trying to scold her, a woman who did everything to make me feel safe and secure.“Wow..I’m so happy for you. Wait” I paused “You’re the new librarian and professor?” I asked, pointing out the information Ryder had given me just an hour ago.“Hey miss Anya..” Elroy greeted “Congratulations” That should’ve been the first thing I say “Congratulations Anya, I’m sorry I was caught off guard” I apologized.“Yeah..I am, so you mind giving me a little tour before we leave?” She raised a brow and it made me chuckle a bit.“Do you need to ask? I’ll gladly give you a tour” I walked towards her and slipped my arm into hers, locking our arms as we moved “Goodbye Mr Vans” I said sternly as we mov
EVELYN’S POVThe next couple of days felt like a breeze, I stayed away from Elroy and best part, it was now over, which meant, it was now evaluation period and time for normal classes.“Good morning class” I said calmly and they all answered in unison, as it was all week, Tiffany and Elroy couldn’t care any less with their giggling and hand cuddling.“It’s evaluation week, so take your textbooks and works really seriously” I said, flipping the pages of the book in front of me “I’m convinced everyone has sent in their projects” I raised a brow, there was a low grumble amongst them.“I’ll just have to check in on your works” I said loudly when I noticed someone’s arm in the air. “Yes Laurentis” I lifted my eyes to see a snarky smirk on the corner of his lips.“I wanted to pass out an invitation to my celebration” he started, I tried as hard to avoid his eyes by staring at the words on the page “And you’re invited too professor” he added.The class was in uproar, rowdy and inattentive “S
EVELYN’S POV My body paused for a minute and I hung up the phone, the thought of him being right outside the door made my body quiver, I felt knots in my stomach and the more I closed the distance between myself and the door, the more tightened my knots became. When I had made it close to the door, I didn’t hear him knock again, probably because there was rain pouring outside or he didn’t want to trouble my neighbors, which were other students. You don’t have to let him in, if you do, you won’t be able to get off from him My brain was quite the thinker but with another hard knock on the door, my hands became even more sweaty. Maybe if I hold my breath and stay silent long enough, he’ll give up and go home But that wasn’t the case, I heard the loud knock once again and called my phone once more and if this continued, other students might freak out about having Elroy Vans knocking on their professor’s door so late at night. With a strong resolve to keep my hands to myself, I open
EVELYN’S POVThe moment I had made it out and into the dorms, my heart raced faster as I tried not to think about what I had been getting myself into.“Why do you always go back?!” I murmured to myself the moment the door closed behind me. If I truly wanted someone, I could be with Ryder and there would be nothing wrong about it but now, my body is so attached to him.I steadied my breathing with my palm to my chest before heading to the bathroom for a nice hot shower and a time to rest.“Hey Anya” I said the moment I picked up the phone. It felt like we hadn’t spoken for ages “How’s it going?” I asked with forced enthusiasm, I couldn’t let her know that something was brewing and worse, that Elroy isn’t a one time thing.“Well, I’ve got news for you” she chimed happily, that was new. I loved hearing cheerfulness from her tone, it was great hearing her happy once again. After the whole Melvin fiasco, I was worried she’d be moody and avoid me, yet, she had been supportive every time.“O
ELROY’S POVShe paced back and forth as I told her everything “So she knows about Melvin” she stated, running her fingers through her hair “Ho..how?” She asked, I didn’t respond because I wasn’t able to find the truth.“Can you calm down?” I placed my hands on her shoulders “I promise I’ll get the answers from her” she looked up at me with eyes which said ‘how on earth would you do that?’ “I have a plan in place” I sighed“Then what about this” she waved an envelope in my face “What’s this for? I mean, it’s from Melvin but how did you know what it was?” “That’s because Tiffany had an identical one just like that” I revealed, thinking back to her apartment when she tried all sorts of tricks to get her lips on mine “How does she have one of those?” I muttered under my breath.“It..it’s impossible, they couldn’t have” she looked up at me, her brows arched to display perplexity “No, no, no..” she panicked.“Get yourself together Evelyn” I said calmly yet loud enough for her to hear me
ELROY’S POVOnly her chest heaving next to mine was enough but I’m one greedy man, I need it all, her smile, her breaths, her scent, yet, I couldn’t just catch a break with Laurentis and Ryder trying to talk to her at every chance they got and now Tiffany just had to be close by.“Hey Tiff” I said, making my way towards her after Evelyn had made her way out of the lakeside “What’s up?”“Don’t ask me that? Where have you been and why aren’t you helping us out?” She folded her arms and pouted furiously “I can’t stand Laurentis, if you’re leaving, at least take me with you” she reached for my arm.“Not now Tiffany” I pulled away, casting a nasty glare her way “Could you try to keep your hands to yourself?” I asked and she took my arm by force.“And risk exposing miss Reeds past?” She let a sly smirk form on the corner of her lips “Never” her voice always sounded lie deciet and fake sympathy.I turned to look around at the scarcely visited lake area “Why do you keep using that as blackmai
Evelyn’s POVShe squeezed the canned soda so hard that her nails poked holes into the can and the drink soiled her clothes, she deserved it, after all, she was the one who drugged Elroy last night.“What are you doing here?!” Elroy asked angrilyHe had his full focus on Tiffany who stood there almo
Evelyn’s PovThe sight I had just witnessed sent shivers down my spine, but I stood at the door, Mrs Vans standing close to me, her mouth agape with shock. I mean I was shocked as well because I didn’t think that Elroy’s father would be such a man.“You dared to hit Chloe?” she asked with an anger
ELROY’S POVI’m in the same room with her once again, the last time this happened, I almost couldn’t control myself.Her hair is in an imperfect bun, her hazel colored eyes glimmer even in the dimly lit roomI know pretty well that the aphrodisiac has its effect but not as much as the effect of her
EVELYN’S POVThe air felt stiff and for a minute I froze, my mind distant as his eyes locked on mine. Pulling away from him, I felt his hand on mine, putting my palm back on his chest “Let’s stay this way” he mumbled softly “Even if it’s for a little while” I felt the butterflies form in my stoma
