115. THE NEW COUPLE

2025-01-23 09:32:12“We are home. Charlie... Mommy's home, son.”
Shanon's screams echoed in the silent house. The suitcase made a lot of noise as she dragged it around the living room. No one greeted her at the main door until she walked into the living room. That made Shanon a little annoyed.
“Are you crazy, Shanon? Screaming like a Tarzan?” Anthony scoffed at her sarcastically.
"No. Of course not. Where is everyone? We brought lots of souvenirs for them. And they didn't welcome us? It's so unbelievable,” Shanon complained.
“We arrived at five in the morning. Do you think they're awake?”
“They should be awake. Avery knows that our plane lands at four.”
“And she didn't bother to greet you when she was still curled up in bed.”
Anthony threw himself on the sofa. His arms were stretched across the back of the sofa. He inhaled deeply the sweet aroma of his house and felt at peace. It was Shano

“Thanks, Sarah for responding to my emergency call. Sorry for disturbing you in the midst of your hectic preparations for your wedding with Stevan. I really don't know who else to contact other than you.”“Chill. I'm not very busy today. Hi, my bunny.”Sarah picked up Charlie and carried him. She kissed Charlie's chubby cheek, which was always her favorite, and tickled his stomach with her lips.While Sarah was busy playing with Charlie, Shanon was busy installing Charlie's baby seat into Sarah's car. She went in and out of her house several times to get her bag and Charlie's bag. Shanon wanted to take Charlie's stroller, but then she left it on the porch because she didn't want to carry too many things in Sarah's car."You do look really panicked, eh," Sarah looked at Shanon over Charlie's tiny shoulder.“My departure for New Haven has been changed to the day after tomorrow because of a sudden notification from Yale t

When Anthony arrived home, he found Sarah's, Jordyn's, and Avery's cars parked in his driveway. He started to think that soon Ben's car would also be jostling with Shanon's friends' cars in his yard.Anthony grabbed his briefcase from the back seat before he got out of his car. He walked into his house, which was noisier than usual.“Hi, Anthony,” Sarah greeted him cheerfully. She sat next to her fiancé.Meanwhile, Jordyn and Avery were on the other sofa. They started to have the courage to show their affection in public. Avery was no longer shy about taking Jordyn's hand and kissing him in front of Shanon and Anthony."Am I the only one who doesn't know that you guys are planning to gather at my house?"“This is an impromptu call. Shanon just called us about half an hour ago saying that she would be having a farewell dinner tonight before she leaves for Yale the day after tomorrow," Avery explained.“Oh, yeah.

Shanon checked the things she was bringing to New Haven one more time to make sure she didn't miss anything important that she was supposed to bring. She only brought one medium suitcase and one briefcase for important documents related to her studies. Shanon didn't bring much because she would often go home to Boston to check on Charlie and Anthony. She planned to stay for the first two weeks in New Haven for campus orientation. Then, she would return to Boston more often because most of her lecturers would hold online seminars.Shanon felt that her move to New Haven had kept her very busy in the last two days. She completely neglected Charlie and left the task to Dianne because she was busy preparing for her move to New Haven. Shanon was grateful to have Dianne as her son's nanny because she proved capable of doing her job well. Charlie seemed happy with Dianne. He ate regularly, played and took a nap. Dianne also did all the things she had written in the notes to fulfill C

“I don't eat. I already had dinner with my colleagues.”“O-oh, okay. I thought you would have dinner at home. Mrs. Shanon told me that you prefer home cooking.”“Where is Charlie?”Anthony ignored the disappointment on Dianne's face. He hadn't eaten at home since Shanon left for New Haven. During the week he always ate out. Morning, noon and night, he was a regular customer at Bucky's family restaurant. It was like he was back to the time before he got married, where he mostly ate out if his housekeeper didn't leave something to eat.He deliberately avoided contact with Dianne because his instincts told him to. Even though Shanon told him many times that it was all just part of his paranoia, he still couldn't ignore his instincts."Charlie went to bed an hour ago.""I'll see him in his room."“Umm... What about these foods?”Anthony glanced at the food on the table. Those were all

Anthony fidgeted in his bed. He was sweating profusely, as if the air conditioning in his room was not working. Anthony opened his eyes and threw his pajama top on the floor. He couldn't sleep even though his body felt so tired.Anthony lay back down and tried to close his eyes. He saw Shanon waving at him in his dream. He waved back and smiled. His wife was standing in the doorway in a crimson silk robe. Her hair was left loose and fell over her small shoulders. Shanon walked towards him with a very sexy, sensual smile.It had been a long time since Anthony last touched his wife. He missed Shanon so much, and he was so eager to touch her. Anthony reached out his hand, trying to grab her. Shanon took his outstretched hand happily and let Anthony pull her close."I miss you.""I miss you, too."Shanon's palm rested on his chest, caressing it gently. Anthony closed his eyes, feeling the touch as light as cotton. He knew it was just a dream. But the d

Shanon grumbled irritably into the phone. She turned off the phone and went back to bed in the hope that she could sleep well again.But just as she was about to close her eyes, her apartment bell rang. The person didn't just press it once, but many times, making her eardrums pound painfully.Shanon was forced to leave her warm blanket and walk out to open the door.“Really, Anthony? You picked a really bad time to come visit.”“I can't wait until tomorrow.”Anthony barged into Shanon's apartment while holding Charlie tightly to his chest. The boy was fast asleep wrapped in a thick jacket and blanket like a cocoon. Anthony immediately moved straight to Charlie's room and laid the boy in his crib.“It's been five months since Dianne's incident. Can't you get rid of your paranoia?”Anthony glanced over his shoulder. He bent over his son's crib for a long time without responding to Shanon's words.

Pushing the stroller across the campus grounds with a bag on her back and a baby bag full of Charlie's stuff on her shoulder, she felt like she was walking with a gallon of water in hand. Very heavy. Especially with the cold wind blowing hard around her. Shanon tightened her jaw to resist the cold wind that hit her repeatedly. She wished there was a parking spot right in front of her building. Unfortunately, she did not have that privilege.Last night no snow fell in New Heaven. But the air around her was completely freezing. Shanon dressed Charlie in three layers of clothing and covered him with a thick wool blanket to keep her son warm in his stroller. She was grateful that Charlie was very calm that morning and tended to be cheerful when he was with her.“Morning.”“Hey Scott. Morning. Very cold, huh?”Just like her, Scott also wore layers of clothes under his puffer. His mouth released thick steam every time he spoke.&l

They laughed out loud as they stepped into Shanon's apartment. Scott kept cracking jokes all the way home from the mall. Shanon couldn't help but laugh as Scott shared his embarrassing experience while attending a seminar in Los Angeles.“I was completely out of mind. I misread the sign on the bathroom door. And you know what, I walked into a women's restroom full of women. They were all shocked to see me suddenly enter their territory, and so was I. I was stupid, because I just stood there frozen. They all then screamed hysterically and beat me with bags. It was a ridiculous experience and almost killed me.”"Gosh, you're terrible, Scott," Shanon wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes. Her stomach felt numb from laughing so much.“I'm terrible. My mother is even embarrassed to recognize me as her child when she's hanging out with her friends."“Really? Then you must be terrible.”The elevator they

Anthony's voice on the speaker startled her. Shanon hurriedly opened the door wider and asked Jammie to come into the villa. Shanon then turned her back to Jammie to talk to Anthony."I have to go," whispered her.“Hey. Is he one of your friends?”Anthony caught a glimpse of Jammie's face over Shanon's shoulder. Anthony narrowed his eyes suspiciously at his wife's movements.“Yeah, he's one of my friends. I have to find Sarah or Drake to get them to prepare a room for Jammie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Love you.”Shanon sighed softly. She didn't know why she suddenly became that nervous just because Jammie came while she was on a video call with Anthony.“Did I interrupt you with your boyfriend?”Shanon choked up hearing Jammie's voice so close to her ear. She hurriedly turned around and smiled awkwardly. Her face turned red when she was stared at so intensely by Jammie."That was my husba
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 137. SHANON'S EX
Shanon was grateful that she arrived in the dining room on time before dinner started. Shanon was in a bit of a rush to enter the dining room because she was the last one to come into the dining room."You look gorgeous, Shanon.""Thanks, Sarah.""You also look radiant in your soft pink dress."As soon as Shanon's butt landed on the chair, her mouth immediately started drooling at the sight of the very diverse dinner dishes with very precise and appetizing plating. Shanon thought the housekeepers were just ordinary women who worked in the kitchen, but she was wrong. They were great women who graduated from the best culinary arts in Paris."Did you get any sleep?"“I was so excited about exploring my new room that I didn't have time to sleep or laze around in bed like I originally intended. This villa is truly beautiful. I really wish Anthony were here with me.”“Do you want me to call Anthony now and tell him to come

"That's it, my parents' villa."Shanon rubbed her eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness that still shadowed her eyelids. The sky outside had turned dark even though the clock was only showing half past four in the afternoon. Shanon thought it was really night, but it wasn't. The sky darkens more quickly in winter. Especially in mountainous areas covered in thick snow and giant trees growing on each side of the slippery main road. Shanon had just realized that the journey was very long and might also be dangerous.“Where is the villa?”“Hey, Shanon. Sleep well?" Sarah smiled at Shanon, as if she was welcoming her daughter who had just woken up.“Sorry. I was stuffed after our last stop and I was bored because there wasn't much to see along the way. Where is the villa?”"Right at the end there," Stevan answered, pointing to a building resembling a palace that stood very firmly right on top of a hill.Shanon ga
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 135. YOU DIRTY MY MIND!
Shanon didn't linger in the bathroom. She took a shower just to warm her body and make her fresh again. She took a sandwich from her special lunch box. The sandwich was still warm even though she had packed it this morning.Sitting cross-legged on the bed in a bathrobe with a can of orange juice and a very tempting sandwich, Shanon was ready to call Anthony. She used a pile of pillows to keep her phone standing facing her.While she waited for Anthony to answer the call, Shanon started devouring her delicious tuna sandwich.“Professor Bruce.”“Where have you been, Shanon?”Being angry was Anthony's habit. Shanon rarely even heard Anthony call her lovingly after they got married.“I'm not from anywhere. I'm here.""Where are you?" Anthony narrowed his eyes, trying to scan the room behind Shanon's body.“Have you arrived at the villa?”“No. We're staying in a motel tonight be

Like déjà vu. They seemed to be repeating the moment they went camping in Savoy Mountain State Forest two years ago. But the difference was that there was no Jordyn among them. Jordyn couldn't join them because he had a basketball tournament coming up soon. The second difference, Stevan and Sarah were in the front seat, while Shanon was crammed with all their belongings in the back seat. The luxury van felt cramped for Shanon with all the party items and suitcases for their one-week stay at Stevan's parents' villa.“Are you okay, Shanon?”“Yeah, I'm still alive if that's what you're worried about,” Shanon raised her thumb lazily.A box containing paper plates and paper cups had just rolled over and hit Shanon's head because Stevan failed to step on the brakes when going through a pothole.“Oh! Can you drive slower?”"Excuse me. I didn't see the potholes.""Honey, you made Shanon get crushed b
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 133. SCHOOL REUNION
Sunday, second week of December, one week before Christmas. Sarah and Shanon curled up in a warm corner of Jerry's café with two cups of lattes and two of Jerry's famously delicious triple chocolate cupcakes. The aroma of coffee wafts everywhere throughout the café. Shanon occasionally rubbed her frozen palms from running through the snow from the supermarket parking lot one hundred and fifty meters away, in order to enjoy Jerry's best latte and his legendary cupcakes.“They should provide a bigger parking lot than a plot of land that can only fit five cars.”“I told you to come here by taxi because you definitely won't get a parking space here. This is their rush hour. Many students hang out here before they spend the Christmas holidays with their respective families."While sipping her latte, Sarah raised her index finger to interrupt Shanon, who was just about to say something to her.“Plus, this week they just fin

Shanon grabbed Anthony's cellphone, while Anthony took Charlie from Shanon's arms."Hi newlyweds,” Shanon greeted crisply. Her tiredness eased a little when she heard Sarah's giggling voice on the other side."Tsk, why can't I call your cell phone? Did you throw it into the sea, huh?"Shanon laughed. She followed Anthony to his car while still holding the cell phone to her ear."Sorry, lowbatt. You won't believe that I just went on an adventure like Dora. My phone was on for hours because I needed it to open the map application.""Wow, I'm really tempted to hear about the excitement of your adventure, but I don't have much time. Yeah, Stevan has been waiting for me for dinner. We should have talked an hour ago, but your cell phone died.""Sorry about that. What makes you want to talk to me so badly right now?""Actually I prefer to discuss it face to face with you. Next week I want to meet you.""I have exams. I will be i
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 131. HAPPY OR...
“Charlie!”Shanon ran hastily up the steps in front of her house. She opened the door to her house with her spare key. She didn't see Anthony's car parked in the garage, but she was sure Charlie was home. Anthony couldn't possibly take his son to campus. Anthony always had a few minions he would tell to watch Charlie at home, instead of taking his son to college, which would risk messing up his perfect schedule."Charlie... Where are you, kid?"Shanon was greeted with an odd silence in her house. Though, she hoped to meet Ben. Ben was the only one who could take care of Charlie when Avery and Sarah were not there.Shanon went to the kitchen. Her breath caught in her throat, finding all the mess Anthony had left behind. Froot Loops were scattered on the floor, milk was spilled, and Charlie's baby chair was left on its side next to the bar counter. Shanon couldn't stop the bad thoughts from cramming into her brain.But when she turned tow
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 130. BE A GOOD BOY
The first class finished smoothly. The drool-filled teddy throw did not develop into any disaster. For the first thirty minutes, Charlie listened to Anthony's lecture as his students did. An hour and a half later, Charlie was sleeping peacefully in his stroller. He was probably full after finishing a bottle of milk and some fruit.Anthony pushed Charlie's stroller towards his office. The stares of everyone who saw him walking with a stroller were no longer a big problem. It wasn't as scary as he initially thought. In fact, he no longer cared what was in the heads of his students or staff who saw him with a baby.So fucking what?!Charlie was his son. And he was a proud father.“Daddy...”“Hey, little boy. Sleep well, huh?”Anthony got Charlie out of his stroller and carried him to the couch. Charlie was still a little lazy after waking up. He curled up in Anthony's arms, who was sitting back on the sofa.
