“Oh, my future sister-in-law is here,” Caleb exclaimed enthusiastically.
He was sitting with his back on his headboard, facing a half-empty lunch tray. The man waved at Shanon like a child who had just met his idol.
"Hey, watch your words," Jordyn hit his shoulder lightly before he got up from the sofa.
Shanon walked in and greeted the siblings cheerfully. “Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting your time.”
“Seriously? There was nothing to do here but stare at the walls and watch the nurses passing by in front of the room. Very boring."
Shanon and Jordyn had become close since they accidentally met in the hospital corridor. They often spent time together at the hospital when Jordyn had to wait for Caleb and when Shanon visited Avery. Several times Jordyn also brought Shanon to meet Caleb. Shanon had no trouble getting along with Caleb because he was very friendly to her.

FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 44. DINNER
Anthony put the blue folder on the table and glanced at his watch once again. Five minutes before seven. He tried to calm his worries because Shanon had not appeared at La Guardia. A waiter had just offered Anthony to pour wine into his glass. But Anthony rejected him with a firm shake of his head and sent him back to the kitchen.Anthony wouldn't have started that dinner without Shanon. That night was special for him. Anthony couldn't wait to see Shanon's reaction that he had a new proposition that would be more beneficial to both parties. Anthony had also prepared a gift which he kept in his jacket pocket. He wanted to repay Shanon's kindness all this time with something special. A diamond, of which there were only five in the world, was the perfect gift to describe Shanon as a whole. She was a precious and very rare woman. There was no woman who had toughness and tenderness in one package like Shanon.“Sir, would you like some wine poured?”Anthon

“Ave, we still have a lot of time to discuss it. You just woke up. I don't want to discuss family matters with you now.”“No, I want to know what's going on right now. I'm fine, Shanon. I've been asleep for three months. It made me realize how precious the time I have now is. I don't know whether I will still be able to talk to you tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't wake up again if I close my eyes.”“Tsk, what are you saying? You'll be fine, okay. Doctor Richard told me you're stable. You will return to living your life like a normal woman.”Her expression turned sad. Avery carries a huge amount of guilt towards Shanon. She had left a problem with her little sister before she fell into a coma.“Tell me what happened while I was in a coma? Where is Yvone?”“I don't know where she is now. She could be having fun with her new boyfriend and wasting money gambling.”"What about father's compa

“I hurt her.”Anthony sat face to face with Doctor Jarvis Orwell in his very quiet and clean room. He had been Anthony's therapist since Anthony experienced emotional shock after the death of his parents. It was his grandfather who took Anthony to see a psychiatrist because he saw signs of mental instability in his grandson after Anthony experienced a series of unpleasant events.“What exactly are you doing?”“I slapped her.”The old man, around sixty years old, listened to the story attentively. Occasionally he would scribble in his little book and throw some questions at Anthony to fill in his story which had too many holes."Physical abuse. Was she seriously injured and had to be hospitalized after you slapped her?”“No. But, every physical abuse I have done will leave scars. Both in her heart and on her skin.”“It's been a long time since you came to have a therapy

Shanon's thoughts were interrupted when she heard the woman start talking in front of her. Unlike her graceful, angelic appearance, the woman looked rougher when she started talking.“Hey, I'm talking to you. Tsk, why did Anthony hire a slow woman like you?”“Excusme. Who are you? Why did you suddenly come and act so impolite towards me?”The woman rolled her eyes lazily. “You rude maid. I'm here to meet Anthony.”“Yes, I know. But, who are you? I can't just put random people into Anthony's house.”“Hmm. I'm Miley Stuart. Anthony's girlfriend. Can you get out of there so I can go inside?”Miley? This woman is Miley?! Omegosh, the legend is finally back after leaving a wound in Anthony's heart?!“Hey.”Shanon gasped in surprise when Miley suddenly snapped her fingers in front of her face.“Are you deaf? Get out of my way and let me in.&

“What's wrong with your face? Why are you frowning like that?”“Nothing. I'm reading a novel, Ave.”Shanon lowered the book from her face. She looked across the room, where her sister was doing physiotherapy to train her leg muscles that had not been used for walking for a long time. Avery occasionally winced in pain when her therapist told her to step on a plank.“I see you're not really focused on your book.”“You turned into a psychic after waking up from a coma, huh?”Ms. Betty, the therapist, giggled as she guided Avery to take one more step towards the finish line.“I know everything about you, my dear sister. Your face is like an open book.”"Uh, impressive," Shanon rolled her eyes lazily at Avery, who was mocking her.“Ms. Betty, can I go back to my room? I think my leg muscles have turned to jelly.”"Okay. We'll continue again tomorrow at te

“Ugh, Sarah. I think we look like two little whores, rather than two young girls coming to a birthday party.”“I’m ok with that. Don't complain too much. Our appearance is perfect. We are two hot, sexy women. Look at us.”Sarah pulled Shanon's shoulder to see the reflection of the two of them in front of the tighty closed car window. Shanon felt that she couldn't be as confident as Sarah, who was posing sensually while showing off her curvaceous body clad in a tight maroon dress. Shanon still saw herself as a bitch beneath the tight navy dress she and Sarah had bought this afternoon after she came home from the hospital."I will make Stevan regret cheating on me."“Yeah. That dress will definitely make every man stare at you with their mouths watering.”“Thanks, Shanon. I wish Anthony was here too to see your super sexy self tonight. He should be sorry for treating you like trash.”

Just as Jordyn looked back, a fist flew straight at his chin. Shanon screamed loudly, seeing Jordyn slumped on the floor and groaning in pain.“Keep your damn hands off her.”Anthony's gaze turned to Shanon, who looked very shocked by what had just happened before her eyes. Anthony grabbed Shanon's wrist roughly and dragged her away from the bar.“You're crossing your limits, Shanon. Go home right now."“What are you doing? Let me go. Jordyn, help me!”“Shanon.”Anthony ignored Shanon's screams and her attempts to get away from him. He continued to drag Shanon out of the damn club, not caring that several of his students were there and were looking at him in surprise.“Let go of her.”“Mind your own business, Jordyn. Shanon has to go home.”“She came here with me. I'll take her home.”“No. I don’t believe you."“

“Oh my God, what is going on?” Sarah stopped dancing when she heard a commotion near the bar and Shanon's screams mixed in with the very loud music around her.She had a bad feeling and her feeling was never wrong. Sarah hurriedly left the dance floor and pushed her way through the crowd of people who were buzzing around the bar like a swarm of bees.“Excuse me, please give me a way.”When Sarah finally managed to push her way through the crowd, the fight that everyone was discussing had ended. She looked right and left to look for Shanon, but she couldn't find her anywhere."Are you looking for your best friend?"A pat on the back startled Sarah."What are you doing here?" Sarah looked at Stevan sarcastically.“Ignore your anger at me, okay? We have a situation.”“There are no more we. Tell me what happened?”Stevan sighed softly. "Follow me."Sarah finally

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
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 134. WHERE ARE YOU SHANON?
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.
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 129. THE TRUTH UNTOLD
Shanon knocked softly on Simmon Kendrick's door. She became even more nervous when Kendrick's deep, raspy voice allowed her to enter his office. She had hoped Kendrick wouldn't be available this afternoon and that would give her time to calm her fears.After Scott left to meet his professor, fear crept into her heart again until Shanon almost went home and canceled her intention to meet Simmon Kendrick.But there was no turning back for her. Like it or not, Shanon had to go into Simmon’s office and meet the killer lecturer.“Ms. Wilson. An unexpected visit.”“Good afternoon, Mr. Kendrick. Sorry to disturb your time.”Shanon pulled up a chair in front of Kendrick's desk which was covered in many student assessment sheets. She slid her body into the chair very slowly before her butt landed smoothly on the wooden chair.“What can I do for you, Ms. Wilson?”“Umm...”Shanon just
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 126. A BABY IN CLASS
He thought he only slept five minutes, not five hours. Anthony sat up in surprise while glancing at the clock. It showed seven."Damn, I'm late!"Frantically, Anthony walked to the bathroom, ready to shower and leave for campus. But suddenly he remembered that last night Charlie came home with him, and he had full responsibility for his baby.Anthony hurriedly left his room. He tripped over his blanket which was hanging down to the floor and cursed softly because of his carelessness. He had never been so careless before. He was also never late. Usually his brain always had an alarm to wake him up at exactly five o'clock. But it was clear that the alarm in his head refused to wake him up because he needed quality sleep after several days of not getting quality sleep because he was too busy with the very tiring duty board."Morning, boy."Hearing Anthony's voice, Charlie automatically looked up from the Legos and various toys scattered on the floor.

“I still can't believe you kept those facts from me all this time.”“I never hide anything from you.”"It seems you don't intend to tell me who your husband is if I accidentally met him yesterday."Shanon sighed softly next to Scott. She wasn't in a good mood this morning. Everything was very chaotic. She woke up with heavy, swollen, and very red eyes from crying all night. Her morning was very chaotic and bad. When she came out of her room, the atmosphere in the condo was very quiet. She was pretty sure Anthony had taken Charlie home to Boston.Last night, before she finally fell asleep because she was tired of crying, she heard the noise of Charlie's stroller wheels rubbing and the sound of Anthony's footsteps stomping very loudly. She didn't know whether Anthony was stomping his foot hard on purpose to tell her he was going home to Boston, or whether Anthony was angry. They were both very messy last night.“I admire
