My stepbrother
I mean, we did spend a lot of time together last year, but I have never once thought of it as nothing more than a student who enjoyed talking to her teacher.
“Professor, let go of my hand,” I say after a couple of minutes. He sighs and releases me.
“I’m sorry.”
“Professor, we may have been getting too close. Let’s keep our distance from now on.”
“Mai, I thought we were….”
“Is everything ok?” I spin and see Kendra, my bodyguard, at the door. She looks between Professor Stewart and me and then back at me.
“Everything is fine. I’m having a chat with my student. Who are you?” He inquires, clearly annoyed with the interruption.
