All Chapters of HOT PROFESSOR NEXT DOOR: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ARIANA'S POVMaya's jaw dropped.I slowly lowered my hands from my face. "Yeah. I'm in the restroom now. He walked me here.”Maya stared at me in complete disbelief before pressing a hand dramatically against her forehead. "Oh my God." Then she looked back at me. "Oh my God!"I let out another defeated groan. “I know.” "No, don't 'I know' me." She pointed straight at the screen. "Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is?"A light chuckle escaped me. "I've been dying from embarrassment for the last few minutes.""I would've died on the spot." She said dramatically.A reluctant laugh slipped out. "You're not helping.""I'm serious! Forget the wine for a second. Professor Thiago saw your dress first. He had to tell you, then he had to walk behind you all the way to the restroom.” She muttered.Every sentence made me want to crawl into a hole.I buried my face in my hands again. "Please stop saying it.""I can't!" She threw both hands into the air. "I literally can't! I've been repl

ARIANA'S POVHe didn't say anything. He just kept walking, one slow step then another.My stomach tightened with every step he took.The water reached the tips of his bare feet before he finally stopped.The tightness in my stomach loosened a bit.Wait… what was I even expecting?Shit! Ria!Then, he bent down and calmly rolled the hems of his trousers to just below his knees.I blinked.Oh.He was actually doing it.A grin tugged at my lips all over again. "You changed your mind."He didn't respond. He simply straightened, the breeze ruffling his dark hair before he took another step.The next wave rolled in, curling around his feet.He paused just for a second.I burst into laughter. "You felt that!""Yeah." His voice remained perfectly even.I laughed harder. "No. You weren't expecting it to be that cold."He nodded as another wave rushed around his ankles.This time he didn't stop. He kept walking.I watched him for a second before smiling to myself.He looked different.The stiffn

THIAGO'S POVI should wake her.That was the sensible thing to do. She couldn't spend the night in my car. Yet, I didn't.The engine had been off for almost a minute, yet neither of us had moved. The compound was quiet, with only the distant chirping of insects and the occasional rustle of leaves whenever the night breeze drifted through.She didn't even notice that we had stopped.A loose curl had escaped from behind her ear, falling gently across her cheek. Without the constant smile she'd worn throughout the evening, her face looked peaceful.The faint glow from the security lights outside slipped through the windshield, catching the edges of her hair. I found myself noticing the little things I hadn't paid attention to before.The way her curls refused to stay where she tucked them.The long lashes resting against her cheeks. The tiny crease between her brows disappeared the deeper she slept.My gaze drifted lower.Her lips were parted slightly, her breathing slow and even.What

ARIANA'S POVI let out another dramatic groan and leaned back against the couch. "Fine," I muttered.Maya shifted immediately, pulling one leg beneath herself as she turned fully toward me. She looked far too interested for someone who had spent the last few minutes pretending she didn't want to speak to me.I couldn't help laughing. "See?" I pointed at her. "I knew you wanted the gist."She shrugged without the slightest shame. "I never said I didn't."I rolled my eyes. "You're unbelievable.""So are you." She folded her arms. "Now stop wasting time."I sighed, trying to figure out where to start.Then, I told her how I had gone out and met Professor Thiago already waiting for me outside. I told her how we had gotten into his car and driven to a restaurant that looked far more expensive than anywhere I had ever been before.I admitted that I had spent almost the entire time looking around because I had never been somewhere like that before. Even when Scott and I were together, we'd n

ARIANA'S POVMy brows pulled together. “Huh?” Instinctively, my hand flew to my left ear.My fingers met nothing as my smile disappeared. "What?"I quickly touched my other ear.The earring was still there.Slowly, I reached back to the empty side again, hoping I'd somehow touched the wrong place the first time.Nothing."Oh no..."I immediately pushed myself off the couch. "It can't be."Maya watched me quietly as I hurriedly brushed my fingers through my curls, convinced it had somehow gotten tangled in my hair.Nothing.I checked again. Still nothing.My stomach sank. "When did you even notice?" I asked, looking at Maya.She looked innocent. "Just now."I frowned harder. "No..."I immediately bent over to check the floor around the couch.Maybe it had fallen off while we were tickling each other.I dropped onto my knees and looked beneath the center table. Nothing. I checked under the couch. Nothing. Then I searched the rug. Still nothing.Maya had gotten up too by then.Without s
