All Chapters of HOT PROFESSOR NEXT DOOR: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ARIANA'S POVI held him tighter. I didn't even know what else to do.My face was still pressed against his chest, and I could feel his arms wrapped around me, keeping me close while my mind was still trying to process everything he'd just told me.His parents.The beach.The fact that he hadn't stepped into the water for years because being here reminded him too much of them.And then me.I couldn't stop thinking about that part.Me.I had just been messing around that night, laughing and trying to drag him into the water because I thought he was just being difficult. I hadn't known he was standing there fighting memories.And I had helped him without even knowing.My throat tightened. “Thiago...” I whispered again, but I didn't know what I wanted to say after his name.I closed my eyes and let myself stay in his arms, listening to his heartbeat beneath my cheek. There was something about knowing this side of him that made me feel even closer to him, like he had just handed me somethi

ARIANA'S POVProfessor Thiago finally ended the call. For a second, he just stared at the screen before switching it off and placing my phone on the bedside table.Then his attention returned to me.I was still staring at him, my heart beating faster than normalI couldn't deny the fact that I liked that.The jealousy in his eyes. The way he had made it clear that I was his girlfriend without even giving Scott room to argue about it.It did something to me.Professor Thiago reached for my waist and pulled me closer.My hands naturally settled on his shoulders. He stared at me for a moment before reaching up and gently removing the headphones from my ears.The sudden silence made me blink.I glanced toward the window. The rain had stopped completely.I looked back at him.His eyes were already on me. They slowly dropped to my lips before lifting back to my eyes, and that lazy, almost sleepy stare made my stomach twist.Fuck.I swallowed hard. “About Scott, my ex…"His eyebrows lifted s

ARIANA'S POVI swallowed hard.Maya was still staring at me with that teasing smile, clearly waiting for my answer. I bit my lips nervously, my mind immediately going back to everything that had happened the night before.And just like that, butterflies started fluttering in my stomach.I looked away for a moment, trying to calm myself down, but it was useless.Then I told her how Professor Thiago had asked me if we could go on a real date, and how I had agreed. I told her about the gorgeous red dress he had sent for me to wear, and how he had worn the red designer shirt that I was currently wearing. I told her how we had gone on the date and how shocked I had been when I discovered that he had booked the entire restaurant just for us.I told her about the cake.The proposal written across it. The question asking me to be his girlfriend.And the way he had asked me if he could be my boyfriend.Even now, remembering it made my heart flutter all over again.When I finished telling her e

ARIANA'S POVI sat in class on Monday morning. The noise in the hall was beginning to give me a headache. Students were still piling into the room, talking loudly, laughing, and dragging chairs across the floor as they searched for places to sit. The hall was already full, and the empty chair beside me was the one I'd kept for Maya.I sat quietly, my phone resting in my hand as I stared at the message I had received the previous night.I had been trying not to think about it since I arrived at school, but it wasn't working. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, my mind kept returning to those words, making me feel the same fear I had experienced when I first read them.The person had sent another message to mock me for being too scared to go home because of the earlier threat. Apparently, the surprise I'd been warned about had never existed. The whole thing had been done just to frighten me, and whoever was behind it seemed to find my reaction amusing.I still remembered how

ARIANA'S POVScott reached me before Maya could, dropping down beside me with a worried expression."Ariana, what happened? Are you okay? Can you hear me?"I creased my brows, trying to make sense of his questions while struggling with the pain in my arm and thigh. Everything had happened so quickly that I could barely remember how I'd fallen, and now Scott was right in front of me, looking more worried than I had ever seen him."Scott?" I managed to whisper."Yes, it's me. Don't try to get up yet, okay?" He looked me over hurriedly, then reached for my hand. "Where does it hurt? Did you hit your head? Ariana, please, talk to me."I barely had the strength to answer. My entire body felt tense, and every little movement seemed to make the pain worse. I tried to pull my arm closer to myself, but a sharp sting made me gasp."Careful!" Scott exclaimed, immediately reaching for me again. "Don't move too much. I'll help you up."Before I could protest, he slipped an arm around my back and c
