Mom's Boyfriend

" She always had a date. Doesn't she ever get tired of that shit "

" No, I think this one might actually work out. She said he was a lovely guy, a little cold at first but he was very lovely when you got to know him. And he even promised to come for dinner soon. "

" Is he rich "

" Mom says he is a Billionaire "

" Of course " How very predictable. That woman would never learn her lesson. " Well, good for her "

" Hey, there's going to be a party on..."

" Don't give me that bullshit Emily! At the last party I went to, I ended up committing a terrible mistake. I'm still paying for it right now!"

" Did you sleep with someone?" Emily asked curiously.

Emily was always on about how Lisa was antisocial, she was always trying to hook her up with guys. The thought of her sister finally losing her virginity made her feel excited. " Is he someone I know "

Lisa gives her an annoyed look and then walks upstairs, not deeming Emily's question worthy of a response. She was sure that Emily must have heard of Asher by now. More than half of the female population in school were lusting after the man, no one seemed to care that he was a professor for goodness sake! Asher was a dangerous man, he was the kind of man who was to be avoided at all cost. Was she the only one who saw him as the devil he was?

Her phone lit up and she checked it to see that she had received a single text message from an unknown number.

' board cleaning, one dollar '

* * *

The next day, she found herself wiping the board in Finance class, the entire class watching her.

Lisa was reluctant to go to school the next day. She kept looking at the mysterious text she received yesterday and wondered what the hell Asher had in mind for her. Unfortunately, her mom was home today, apparently her new boyfriend had asked her to take a break from her job, he had settled all the bills and even got her a new car. Lisa wanted to be happy for her mother, but she had her own predicament to worry about. With the woman home, she couldn't skip school. So she got dressed and took a taxi.

She told herself to not worry much about the new teacher and his [ hopefully] empty threat. The events of yesterday sounded ridiculous to her now that she thought about them. He wanted her to slave herself away to him just because she committed a simple mistake. sure the car was expensive, but again he was a fucking billionaire, He had enough money to buy dozens of that car if he wanted to. Lisa decided that she would have a careful conversation with the man, she would apologize to him properly and hopefully, they would get past it. It was a small mistake on her part, he shouldn't make a big deal out of it.

Thankfully Finance wasn't the first class she had for the day, it would give her enough time to come up with a proper apology before she would have to face her new professor. She met up with Lilly and they went to English class together. Throughout Lilly wouldn't stop talking about the new professor and how hot he was

" I swear, I hated Finance class before this, but now I just can't stop looking forward to it. I feel like I can't live if I don't catch a glimpse of Professor Walker again "

" Don't be dramatic " Lisa said rolling her eyes " He's not that good-looking " That was a complete lie of course. Asher Walker was a walking Adonis, and his arrogant temperament seemed to only add to his charms. His ability to look down on everyone else around him like they were all mere sand beneath his feet was rude and at the same time made Lisa feel hot all over. Sure she was attracted to him, but she didn't think there was any woman in school who wasn't. Even the female teachers were asking about him, doing their best to make him comfortable ( as they said ). But Lisa's fear of that Devil was much stronger than any attraction, maybe she was the only one who saw the scary side to the man, but she knew he was to be avoided at all costs.

" I know you feel the same about him, don't even try to hide it. " Lily said " But I think Amelia already has her claws on him. Damnit "

" It's not like he is interested in her " Lisa had seen the way Asher had looked at Amelia, it was the same way he looked at her as well, lack of interest. Maybe he saw all of them as chickens or something. " If you like him, give it a shot "

" Are you kidding me? Asher Walker is not just someone I can approach and ask for a date. It's bad enough that he's the richest man in the country, coupled with his looks he could get any woman he wanted. I even read once that he has dated Selina West, that hot Russian model. If he can dump someone like that, then who am I to try asking him out? He is so out of my league "

" Since you already know that, then you should stop thirsting after him "

" I know, but I can't help it. I want him so bad "

Lisa rolls her eyes. If only Lily knew how scary that man was, she probably wouldn't want to be around him for one second.
