"What the hell took you so long?" Sally hissed at me as I arrived at her side, waiting by our next class's door. Her eyebrows pulled closer and she looked at me from up to down, "You're face is all flushed," She mumbled, narrowing her eyes at me, "And your hair is all messed up," Her eyes widened, "What the hell did you do?"I gulped down and pulled her to the side, where no one could hear us. I tried to fix my hair and casually dropped the news on her, "We kind of had a quickie in his office."Her eyes grew even wider, "Oh my fucking god, one night stands and quickies with professors," She whisper-yelled, "Who the hell are you and where is my friend Lilly who was pretending to be virgin Mary over the past three years?"I shot her a glare at her over-dramatic response and sucked into a deep breath to calm my inside from this overwhelming feeling, "I have no idea what's wrong with me." It's like he got me under his spell and the longer I am surrounded by him, it's becoming harder and h
Stacy waved her hand, "Hey!" She said with a smile and Joe nodded his head, acknowledging my presence."Didn't expect to see you here," Louis added in amusement, his eyes going from me to Christian."Actually, I have to leave now," I said, deciding to stick to my words and keep Christian and his friends in that one night only."Oh no, no way," Louis interjected, pulling me from my arm into the couch, "You're staying," he ordered and screamed at Stacy, who is already in the kitchen, "Bring a glass for Lilly as well, she is staying.""No, really, I should be going," I insisted, my eyes drifting to Christian, asking him to support me in this."Actually, if you would like, you can stay and when they leave, I can drop you off at your place," He said, trying to reason with me and it felt like he wanted me to stay, as if he liked my presence, just for the heck of it.Stacy came back with glasses, "Lilly, why don't you help me prepare the cheese plate," She asked politely and for some reason,
One week later...Lilly's POVIf you've ever wondered what would it be like to have slept with one of your professors, I'll tell you; awkward. So damn awkward.He's like everywhere on campus. I only wonder, how come I never noticed him before?I leave one class to find him entering it. I run through the lobby to catch one of my courses only to have him leaving his office and almost bumping into him and right into his hard rock abs. See, told ya, awkward, very awkward to know by heart how one of your professors looks like naked.Not cool, not cool at all.I've never been so stressed my whole life as I have been through the past week.I feel like I have to watch each step I take, just so I don't have to come face to face with him again, because every time we cross paths, I either smile politely and nervously to which he returns with a curt nod, pulling on the whole professional act as if he didn't push his thing down my thing in his office just a couple of days ago.Oh wow, I really nee
"Call me when you get there," Sally insisted as she paced around my bedroom, "You know what, just text me every hour, so I can make sure you're still alive."I rolled my eyes at her dramatic reaction, "Keep your location turned on also, so I can keep checking just in case I can't reach you.""Oh my god," I pressed my palm over my forehead, "And I thought my dad was overprotective," I mumbled, "Stop being so dramatic, it's a just two-day vacation, that's all."She crossed her arms over her chest, "Vacation?" Her eyes narrowed at me and she sarcastically remarked, "Why? Are you so tired after just one week of the new semester?""Sally, did my parents assign you to watch over me or something?" My eyebrow raised, addressing her over-reacting state.She shook her head, "No, but you're going all alone, with a guy you met only one week ago, and let's just not ignore the fact that he is our damn professor!"I sighed, "It's not like anything is gonna happen!" I shot out, "I just wanna have som
Remember when I said that I will be the one in control, that I will try to keep myself at a safe distance from Christian.Yeah, that ain't happening."So, I took the liberty to book our rooms beforehand," Louis said once we arrived at the resort.He handed a key-card to Joe, "You and Stacy in the same room of course," He placed another card in his pocket, "One only for me, you know in case I pick up a girl," He winked at us, "Considering it's my birthday and all."He handed the last card to Christian, "And one for you and Lilly.""Uh wait, hold on, hold on," I interjected, "I was under the impression that I will be staying alone," I stressed out, "Like in a totally separate room with a couple of floors away from his."Louis's eyebrows pulled together and he looked between the four of us, "Okay, are we gonna pretend that I didn't see you two kissing at the club and then leaving alone," He said ever so casually, "I mean, you saw each other naked, so there is no problem in staying in the
PrologueLilly's POVToday is the day.You know, the day.The one I was waiting for since I accidentally opened an - ahem - a very restricted webpage. It was an accident. I swear. It's not like I was seven years old, searching on my iPad, "Where do babies come from?" after my dad told me that he picked me up from Walmart and is planning on returning me back.It's not like my mother told me that babies come after you hug someone and I went around my school hugging every boy in sight but never got pregnant. It's not like that at all.Okay. Maybe it was exactly like that.What can I say, I was a curious kid. When I wanted answers, I went around searching everywhere till I found them.My first thought was that babies came from amazon. I remember asking Alexa to order me a baby. I think my question confused her because right the next day, she broke down. I try to think of it as an accident, last thing I want is a machine-killing guilt on my conscious. Anyway, I knew I had to depend on myse
Lilly's POVThe aching in my skull ebbs and flows like a cold tide. Pain pulses through every nerve in my body and I moan as I feel both hot and cold. I've been laying in my bed for the last two hours, wide awake, eyes closed and totally dehydrated.Now, I understand why they call it a hangover, for it feels as if the blackest of clouds are over my head with no intention of clearing until late afternoon.I groan and wrap myself in the duvet, waves of nausea adding to my misery. My phone pings with a message after another, but I care less to check it.My brain feels like it would swell beyond the capacity of my skull and now my dehydration is too obvious to ignore.Perhaps some painkillers would help.I raise my heavy eyelids half way only for them to fall shut. I groan as I raise them again and swing my bare feet to the cold floor.I yawn and brush the hair covering my face away. My first instinct kicks me to check my phone but once my hand reach out for it, I notice the small box lay
Lilly's POV"What are you talking about?" He asked, his tone steady, and his words measured. The disoriented emotions that swirled his eyes seconds ago suddenly faded into nothing.Anger clenched my jaw and I grated out, "I heard everything," My eyebrow arched in accusation, "Zack wanted to ask me out before but you," I pointed at him, "You stopped him, why is that?"I thought my question would clear out that blank look but instead, he shrugged...he simply shrugged.I groaned in annoyance at his lack of reaction and my hand reached to the neck of his shirt, grabbing it, I pulled him down. His eyes grew wide a bit, shocked at the gesture, "Why do you always interfere in my life like that?" I hissed in his face.His hand came to mine and gently untangled my fingers from over the fabric. He pulled it away but didn't let it go, "We are not kids anymore, okay?" I snapped while he kept silent, "You can't just steal my things when I break your toys," I sarcastically remarked, "That's not how
