Chapter 43. Cold
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I was equal parts angry and shocked, unable to decide if I should keep staring at him or to look down at my notebook. I didn’t even know what Damien was teaching, I was so confused.
Whenever I looked at him, I kept looking until I had to tell myself to stop. It felt strange to watch him talk to the class and know that I had kissed those lips, those hands had pulled me closer.
It made class so distracting.
I didn’t know how to behave, how to sit, how to write..
I didn’t remember ever being this nervous before.
But in all of this, Damien was calm cool and collected. It should have affected him too, I thought irritably. My being in the room should affect him too.
I was glad I wasn’t sitting next to Mari today, she was at the other end of the aisle and we hadn’t been able to get seats together because of the stunt I’d pulled midway.
Baron wasn’t as in tune with my feelings as Mari and he merely th

Class was almost over and the lecture was finished. Some of the students had already left but a few of the girls had gathered around Damien. Now I could see what Mari had meant when she’d said that most of the girls had a crush on the new professor.Well obviously, he was hot as hell. That’s how he had fooled me as well.Oh God, I was dating a professor and it was a secret relationship.How had I gotten into this mess?Shit..Could I tell my friends?I didn’t know, I needed to talk to him first.Mari hadn’t noticed anything strange about me but she had been a bit distracted by a call she had received from her mother and had rushed out right after class to talk to her. I wondered if everything was alright.“So why does he want to see you?” Baron asked me gesturing at Damien who was still surrounded by his fandom.I shrugged, “I don’t know, might be because I didn’t att

I watched Seline walk away from me and after Professor Flynn and I was afraid for her. What if I had put her in trouble because of my stupid attempt at taking her out of the class.Shit.

It was Baron. I heaved out a sigh of relief as I saw Baron hesitantly come into the room.Damien tilted his head and just stared at Baron and no joke, he looked scary.Poor Baron just stared at me and Damien and then back at me. I tried not to fidget or fix my clothes but it was hard with the silence.I guess Baron was waiting for me to speak but I refused to say anything because he had no right to come barging in here like this and I was pretty sure he had come here to check on me. he didn’t have a good reason for this interruption.I hadn’t wanted this interruption; I had wanted to be kissed by Damien instead. To be taken by him against the door. I felt hot just thinking about him and me in here, on his desk, on the chair, on the sofa.“Yes? How can I help you today Mr. Hoffman,” Damien asked him finally as Baron said nothing and the silence continued to lengthen.“I..I came here to talk to Seline, I mean info

“What?” I looked at her in confusion, had she just said what I thought she’d said? “An arranged marriage? What do you mean an arranged marriage?”“Just what you heard!” Mari replied and sped up as we got near her place.I was struck dumb as I put aside all my problems to focus on Mari’s problem, an arranged marriage in this age? What were her parents thinking?“But Mari, we’re not in the dark ages anymore.. maybe you misunderstood your parents..” I said hesitantly as she parked her car.She gave me a murderous look and without saying a word, banged out of the car. I winced and slowly got out thinking about the huge bombshell she had dropped on me.Mari was like a free bird, not ruled by anything, fears or uncertainties. She had always lived a charmed, cushioned life, never faced any problems or gone through any tragedies as I had and so she had flourished.I had never be

“Late, so late, I am going to be so late!” I thought as I hastily put my waist length dark hair in a messy bun and rushed around my closet sized living space to get ready for my morning class at the college.I gave a prayer of thanks I had Maria in my life, my best friend, whose dad was in real estate and had found me a flat so near the college and which I could actually afford.Amazing, how clean clothes just seemed to vanish when you were in a hurry, I thought as I made my way around the room picking up piles of dirty clothes to find something worth wearing.I’d forgotten to do laundry again this weekend and this was the result. Monday morning and nothing to wear that looked remotely clean enough.I finally found something that looked presentable but it wasn’t college wear, it was short and summery. The dress was meant for a sunny day at the beach or a picnic, none of which I had time for in my life. It was also tight which was w

“What do you mean, what was I doing? You should watch where you drive” I replied as a reflex, more because I didn’t have anything to say than because it was the truth.I knew it wasn’t anywhere close to the truth and the accident was more or less my fault. I hadn’t been looking when I’d crossed the street; I’d been too focused on my goal.“Watch my driving? Watch your mouth. If I hadn’t been so careful, you wouldn’t be alive right now!” He threw back and then held out his hand to help me up, “Come on,” he said, his tone commanding.The adrenaline was pumping in my body and I tried to get up on my own, rejecting his hand.How could he shout at me and then expect me to gratefully accept his help?But as soon as I leaned on my right leg, there was a lightning bolt of pain that went right up to my thigh and I let out a shout, falling back to the ground again.“I

His car was amazingly comfortable but that was obvious, considering it was a top of the line Mercedes. I felt like I was surrounded in the ultimate in luxury from the leather to the seats.I knew from hanging out with Maria so much that the car must have cost more than my entire college tuition combined. Maybe more.His scent had intensified in the car and it was now swimming in my head making me feel strange things. I looked over at him, his face was grim and his hands gripped the steering wheel really tightly. I wondered what was up with that.“Where are you taking me?” I ventured to ask him as I continued to stare at him.“To the hospital,” he replied curtly.“The hos..hospital?” I stammered, “No, please don’t. I’m fine. Can you just take me back to the campus? I have friends there, I can manage everything.”Not only did hospitals scare me but I knew I had no money to afford a vi
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 4. The Penthouse
“P..penthouse?” I stammered in confusion.How had we suddenly gone from getting me a checkup for my injuries to a visit to a penthouse?His Penthouse.I swallowed, just what kind of a checkup was he planning?Who just brings a random stranger they just almost ran over to their home?And who is stupid enough to get in a car with a stranger who almost ran over them and then also come home with them? Me obviously, I was the idiot.I took a deep breath when he opened the door on my side.“Get out slowly, I’ll help you,” He started to give me a hand.Shrugging him off, I asked him “I’m not getting out, why are we here?”“Well, you didn’t want to go to the hospital…correct me if I’m wrong?” He tilted his head.I nodded. Now I was confused and he was looking at me as if the answer should be obvious.He sighed, “I’m going to

I turned back the way I had come in and slammed right into Mari.“Whoa, what’s wrong Seline?” she caught my arms and steadied me before I could move past her and out the door.I couldn’t think clearly, “I..need to go out Mari, to the bathroom, I forgot something.”“You forgot something in the bathroom?” Mari asked me as I moved past her but I didn’t answer. My head was spinning as I took deep breaths to think clearly.Back in the hallway leading towards the classes, I tried to make sense of my reality.Damien?Damien was my professor? He was the new professor? How was that possible?How? And why hadn’t he said anything?Suddenly I remembered his words in the text, ‘See you in the morning.’ and then his words last night, that I’d find out tomorrow whether or not he told me.This is what he meant.THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT?!I suddenly

Mari was surprised to see me back so early, “Didn’t I just talk to you about meeting us for dinner or something, don’t tell me the plan is off?”I didn’t know what to say or how to explain what had happened.“What happened Seline?” she looked concerned now. I twisted my fingers and thought of where to start.“Mari, he’s hiding something.” I sat down on the bed, most of my anger had drained at this point and I was just confused now.Mari came and sat down next to me, putting her arm around my shoulders, “How do you know that?”“He told me himself.” I told her, “but he didn’t tell me what it is that he’s hiding from me.”“Hold on, so you came back without asking him what it was?”“Well, he refused to tell me until and unless I stayed the night. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?” I looked at Mari.

I felt a frisson of alarm move through me at his words, what did he mean?What was he hiding from me?I should have known. I should have known.He was just too good to be true. My instincts had told me before he could tell me.I wondered what he was hiding and how big an impact it would have on me.I stared at his face, unable to comprehend what he was saying or what I should do now.And why now? What was the relevance of this moment.Did it have anything to do with my friends coming over? Why?I was silent for a minute, trying to get my disjointed thoughts to form a single sentence that would make sense. Damien waited patiently as if he had all the time in the world.“Are you hiding something from me?” I asked finally, scared of his answer.He took one of my hands in his, “It’s not as serious as you think but this secret will require your trust in me, in us. Which is why I’m asking y

There was a devil on one shoulder and an angel on my other shoulder because my thoughts were conflicted as hell. On the one hand I wanted him to be joking and on the other hand I wanted to strip off this shirt and call him up on his challenge. It was maddening. I stared up at him from beneath my lashes trying to guess if he was serious. He was waiting too for what I would do, call his bluff or brush it off? My phone rang in the middle of our silent war and the spell was broken. I took a shuddery breath and moved to pick it up while Damien took his coffee to the breakfast table. It was Mari. “Rise and shine Babe,” she chimed as I picked up the phone. “Good morning to you too,” I laughed as I turned to make my own coffee, light and sweet. “I don’t know about my morning but I’m sure yours was pretty good..” I could hear the curiosity in her voice. I laughed and Damien looked up, “Well have I guessed correctly?” she asked m
