Semua Bab The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend: Bab 131 - Bab 140

KaidenI was being ridiculous.I knew it. I knew it.Everybody knew it.And yet, I couldn’t stop the irritation clawing at my chest, couldn’t silence the voice in my head that kept circling back to the same damn thought.Why the hell do I care so much?I repeated the same thing over and over again, like some kind of twisted mantra hoping it would curb all the thoughts.I didn’t care about the professor. Not like that.Sage was the one I liked. Sage was the one who got under my skin in ways no one else did, the one who made my blood run hot with nothing more than a sharp remark or a cocky smirk.The professor?I just wanted to fuck him.That was it. That was all.So why the hell was I sitting here, stewing in my own irritation. I tried to tell myself that it was just anger from him bringing Sage here when he knew what I was trying to do.Woo him enough to get into his bed again.Sage ignored me after I snapped at him, he told me to my face to quit whining and acting so pathetic. I agre

KaidenI mindlessly scrolled through old messages while waiting for his texts.He didn’t text back after I sent him the location and that made me a little sad because I was expecting him to barrel in here.I had left his house without a word, without a backward glance, hoping no, expecting that he would come after me. That he would notice my absence, realize something was missing, and care enough to follow.But the phone remained silent.I sighed, running a hand down my face. Maybe it was childish, maybe it was dramatic, but I didn’t care. Sage was always there, always pushing his way into spaces that didn’t belong to him, always acting like he had some special claim. And the professor let him. He entertained his whining, let him get away with things I never could.Something he could never do with me. I have to be nagging if I want him to spend time with me. I didn’t want it to resort to this but it looks like I have no choice.I needed to remind him, remind myself that I wasn’t just

SageHe and I sat across from each other at the dining table, a meal between us that neither of us seemed particularly eager to finish.I forced myself to eat, but my appetite had dwindled the moment I noticed the way he kept glancing at his watch. Every few minutes, he would steal a look at the time, his fingers subtly tapping against the edge of the table, his mind clearly elsewhere.I hope it just wasn’t on that bastard, Kaiden because I would be so fucking furious. I am here, eating dinner with him and you are thinking about another person.I set my fork down. “Are you expecting someone?”He looked up, startled by my question, before shaking his head. “No.”I wasn’t convinced. “Then why do you keep checking the time?”He exhaled quietly. “I was thinking of going for a walk.”A walk? That meant he was leaving. Going somewhere that wasn’t here, with me.“Do you want me to come?” I asked, my voice carefully casual, even as my chest tightened with something close to desperation.I wa

SageThe soft morning light filtered through the curtains as I lay in bed, listening for any sign of movement from the professor’s room. My heart pounded against my ribs as I replayed last night’s events in my head.It was perfect. Or at least, it was perfect for me. I had done everything to make him stay, to make him look at me the way he used to. He hadn’t even stirred when I touched him, and yet, despite everything, I still felt… anxious.Would he kick me out when he finds out I took advantage of him or would he interprète it as a show of desperation.That I reached the end of my ropes and had to do something to tame the voices in my head before they swallowed me whole.I heard the low groan followed by the rustling of sheets.He was awake.Finally.Forcing a bright smile, I walked into his room just as he sat up, rubbing his temples. He looked disoriented, blinking at me before running a hand through his hair.“What… happened?” he asked groggily, his voice rough with sleep.“You

Sage I was pacing, so sick with worry that I couldn’t breathe.I was so crazy to even do such a thing to Kaiden. Even if we were no longer talking, I was being cruel.I am cruel.I buried my head in my hands and shook them, I was fucked. My eyes widened when the door clicked open, and the professor stepped in.I couldn’t get a read on his face so my heartbeat increased because I had no idea what was going on in his head.He kept quiet and sat on the sofa, deep in thoughts. I couldn’t ask the question that was in my mind.How is Kaiden?I mean, did I even have the right to ask that?I should have gone with him but I didn’t, yet I was more curious than a cat.“Are you happy?” He asked.My brows furrowed, “excuse me?”“Are you fucking happy? He is in the hospital because of what you did!”“Me? How is that my fault?” I tried to defend myself.He chuckled, “How is it your fault? Are you fucking kidding me, Sage? You texted those people. You made them put Kaiden in the hospital.”“So what
