The Professor Chapter 24
"Thank you."Maya muttered to the driver before closing the door behind her gently, she watched as the car zoomed off into the distance, leaving behind a thick dust cloud in its wake. Maya took one last look at the empty street before turning and making a beeline for her apartment complex. It was late into the night and she secretly hoped that Gab would not be at home.Her hopes were dashed when she noticed the lights were on in the living room. She made a strangled noise at the back of her throat, contemplating if she could go back and beg Alex to let her stay the night.No way, she shook her head vehemently. She wasn't going to reduce herself to begging for favors like this. She marched up the steps leading to the front door and inserted her key into the lock, the door gave way as she twisted the handle and swung open with an ominous creak. Maya shut the door behind her, making sure to secure the deadbolt before shuffling inside. She kicked her shoes off and headed toward the living

"So what's up with you and Gabby?" Maya froze at the question and slowly turned to look at him. His face gave nothing away, but the way he was sitting, legs crossed, one elbow on the desk, made her feel exposed, and somehow she knew exactly what he was asking. She didn't want to talk about it, but she knew there was no point avoiding the subject because he probably knew what happened. So she shrugged noncommittally and replied, "We fought." He rolled his eyes, "Duh, wasn't that obvious from the get-go." She huffed and hastily stood up and slung the backpack on her shoulder, "I don't know what else you want to hear from me. I apologized to Gab but she doesn't want to hear. I'm sure it'll blow off in a couple of days, this isn't the first time it's happening, Jason." He raised his hands in surrender, "Woah, hey, slow down! I'm not trying to play judge here, I just want to know what's going on. You know I hate it when you two dig it out." She let out a tired sigh and plopped back o

The sound of classical music filled the air, and Maya found herself humming along with the notes. Her fingers drummed against the table as her eyes scanned the environment, When he asked her to dinner, she didn't imagine he meant something as upscale as a fancy restaurant on the other side of town. She'd heard about the place once on a blog and had read a story that detailed how much a meal cost there. It was one of those places in Amherst, where you had to go through strict security measures before they let anyone into the building, which, if you were a regular patron, could mean an entire meal that you wouldn't have eaten otherwise. That sounded pretty pricey considering it wasn't even an international chain.Thankfully, she dressed the part as well. The black dress was simple but comfortable, and she made sure to wear high heels instead of flats to give her legs a more feminine look. She wore a silver hoop earring for added effect, as well as her usual necklace, ring, and bracele
The Professor Chapter 27
Maya could barely contain the excitement that tingled beneath her skin as they walked out of the elevator, his hand was firmly pressed on her lower back as he navigated them through the halls. Soon, they were in front of his door and she watched silently as he punched the keys to open it.They hadn't said a single word since leaving the restaurant and she was brimming with anticipation.He said he was going to punish her, what exactly did that entail?Maya knew he had a wild side but that didn’t stop it from making her nervous. She wasn’t sure what he was going to do, or if she would like it. It would be her first time doing something “unexpectedly dirty”.The door clicked open and he ushered her inside, Maya’s heart was beating so fast, she wondered if she looked as nervous as she felt. She stepped inside and was suddenly engulfed in darkness, she shuddered when the door closed lightly behind her.Save from the few fairy lights twinkling dimly around the room, the entire area was pit

"Foxy."Maya felt a light tap on her shoulder and she stirred, too deep in sleep to be disturbed by anything else at the moment. She could hear a voice whispering above her ears. A very familiar voice. "Foxy." The voice was more urgent this time and she groaned, rolling to her side.Her eyes fluttered open and there was Alex, his dark brown eyes shining, his dark hair a mess atop his head. He looked so damn sexy Maya wanted to drag him into bed and ravish him all night long. "Alex," she mumbled as she tried to get comfortable again, but he wasn't having any of that, sitting on her bed, leaning over her to shake her gently."Wake up!"Maya sat groggily, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, "What is it?""The Uber," He threw the black dress she'd worn, she missed the catch and the material landed on her first instead, "Sorry," He muttered.She mumbled an incoherent reply, dragging herself from the bed and slipping on the dress. She didn't particularly feel like getting up from

"Finally."Maya released a weak sigh of relief at the familiar and welcoming smell as she stepped into the small apartment. She dropped her bag on the floor, letting it fall open like it was the most natural thing in the world, and took off her shoes. Maya's feet ached badly but nothing compared to how hungry she was feeling. The small dinner she ate earlier had completely evaporated from her long walk, The smell of food filled her nostrils and her stomach growled in response. A faint aroma of something that could only be cooked beef greeted her nostrils. Something that made her mouth water."Gab?" She called out, uncertainty in her tone, "Are you home?" A rustling sound indicated that her roommate might still be there. She walked into the kitchen, and sure enough, Gab was standing there, facing the oven with her hands on her hip, staring at the machine contemplatively. She must have felt someone else enter because she immediately spun around, "You're back." There was relief in h

Maya gaped dumbfounded for a few seconds, trying to discern if her friend was being serious or not. But the severe look on Gab's face told her that she was indeed being serious, "Oh.my.God!" Maya barked out loud laughter, the noise reverberating throughout the room causing Gab to jump slightly."Why are you laughing?!" Gab shouted defensively, placing both hands back atop the counter, "I'm being serious! You're being all sneaky and that's unlike you. You're the type to brag about your sex life and now that you've met someone 'different', you don't want to talk about him?"She rolled her eyes, and returned to her half-finished food, "I'm not being secretive about it. I told you already, he's different."Gab arched a brow as if urging her to continue but she remained silent, instead chewing slowly on her food."You didn't answer my question.""God, no! He's not married, Gab, jeez. Do you seriously think that low of me!?"Gab raised her hands in surrender, "Alright, alright. Chill. How

"This burger is definitely out of the world."Jason's declaration made Maya chuckle and she shook her head fondly when he moaned mid-bite, his eyes closed in bliss. This was the third burger he had ordered and it shocked her to the core, She'd never seen anyone eat so much and still look as put together after. He was always on point about things like that."You said that on your first burger.""Just wait till I order my fourth," Jason promised with a grin and took another bite.Maya grimaced as she calculated the calories her friend was consuming and shuddered in response. There was no way in hell she could eat that much, even if the said burger tasted like something that was out of the world. She knew the kind of body she had, one that was prone to inflating the moment she took anything containing fat and made sure to stay away from the extra calories.It was why she delved into cooking in the first place, not just because of the desire to make a satisfactorily filling meal, but it w
