“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.

His Favorite Flavor Chapter 1. Crash
“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 Favorite Flavor Chapter 3. Damien Flynn
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
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 5. Hands
The man came back after what seemed ages and holding a first aid box.Was he a doctor? He could have been...but then, was he going to check me out himself?“Are you… a doctor?” I asked him.“No,” he sat down next to me, “but I’ve called one and he’s on his way.”“So what are you doing with that?”He bent down in front of me, which should have been impossible because he was wearing dress pants. But he did and the pants stretched alarmingly across his thighs making me more than ever conscious of him. This was insane because never before had I ever focused on a man like this. I was getting hot under the collar now. I started fidgeting under his scrutiny.“We should clean up your wound so it doesn’t get infected,” He looked at me then for a long minute, the man was making me wish I had worn jeans or something. In my scraped knee and this dress, I was feeling lik
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 6. Turned On
We were drenched, both of us and lying on the floor of the shower cubicle.My eyes were tightly close because I didn’t want to face him. Face Mr. Damien Flynn.I suddenly realized I was lying on top of him, my body so intimately nestled into his that we could’ve been one person.I opened my eyes, certain my face must be a picture of embarrassment.Oh God, oh God, Oh God, I chanted in my head.I took a breath and lifted my head from where it was resting on his chest and peeked up at him.He was looking straight at me, his face totally unreadable and my heart started beating in double time.He must be able to feel it, I thought, maybe he’ll think it’s because of the fall.He tilted his head slightly and then, holy shit, I could feel his hand moving from my waist, down my butt and onto my bare thigh. Then he raised one of his legs a little so it was almost like I was riding his thigh.The thought tur
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 7. Cufflink
We were so close I could see the flecks in his grey eyes. All I wanted to do was fit my mouth to his, it was more than a compulsion, I felt obsessed by his lips.By the way his thumb felt on my lips, I wondered if he was feeling the same things I was.Was it possible?My body felt out of control, I could even hear a ringing in my head.Wait a sec…He dislodged me a little and started patting his pockets searching for something.Oh, it wasn’t in my brain, it was his phone ringing.Damn I was out of it.I tried to get up off him to give him some space but he stopped me with one hand while he shook his head and picked up the call with one hand.I couldn’t concentrate on his conversation with the person on the other end.I was looking at his arm, the one holding the phone to his ear, one of his cufflinks had come undone leaving his arm with drops of water clinging to it.Without realizing wha
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 8. A Week
I quickly changed into the sweats and realized he’d been right, they really were too big for me. I was folding up the bottoms of the sweatpants into some way where they would fit me at least a little better when there was a knock on the bedroom door and Damien came in. He stopped just inside the door and stared at me. I quickly looked at myself… Was I wearing the hoodie backwards? What was wrong? He slowly walked over, an expression on his face I couldn’t read. “Am I wearing it wrong?” I was confused. “On the contrary, you’re wearing it just right. I would say perfect even.” He came over to me then and gently taking each one of my hands in his, folded the sleeve up to my wrists. “You know I’ve never really worn this pair of sweats before, I thought it just wasn’t my color” He said casually. “Why did you buy it then?” I asked “I didn’t.. It was sent to me.” “Oh, I’ll get it back to y

His Favorite Flavor Arranged
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
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 45. Desperate
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. I thought and followed behind her maintaining a distance so I would know which office they were heading to.Both of them entered the room and the door closed. Seline had looked remarkably calm and even as if she had been expecting the professor to call her out.But Seline was too good, she probably thought she really had made a mistake by disturbing his class.The prick.Why did he have to act so high and mighty as if what he taught was so fucking important to our lives. Who even needed his advice on running a business? He just liked to brag about how much of a big hotshot CEO he was. If he was such a big thing, why was he teaching?Huh, I could brag about my family business better than him and I hadn’t ever even spent a day working there.It wa

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
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 43. Cold
I 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

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
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 41. Surprise!
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.
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 40. Secret
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
His Favorite Flavor Chapter 39. Strange Behavior
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
