8:00AM

I walk into the lecture theatre and a chill runs up my spine the moment I realize it's empty. The room was empty and there isn't any single soul in the room except for one." You made it."
"Was class canceled?" I asked, eyes darting around the room as I took in just how alone I'm with my professor.
"Nope, you're right on time."
Timothy walks towards the seats away from his desk. He brushes by me, completely ignoring my state of confusion as he sits down next to my seat.
"Then where is everyone?" I look at him, face presses into a frown. He opens up a book in front of him, barely meeting my gaze as he passed me a glance.
"Their class starts at 9, yours starts at 8. You looked lost yesterday thought I could help you." His eyes go back to the pages of the book. He taps onto the seat, willing me to go to him, willing me to him but I stay still.
"Tim-- Mr. Timothy," I instantly catch myself I cleared my throat," I don't need extra help-----"
"Just sit down, will you?" He cuts me off with a groan, tilting his head to the side as he finally meets my gaze. His black eyes shining.
I gulp on to air unintentionally as my head drops into a nervous nod. I make my way towards him and sit beside him. I keep my eyes on the book before me, waiting for him to start but he isn't. I turn my head towards him and my eyes meet his. He's staring. Right. Into. My. Eyes!!!
My heart picks up its paces as a nervous thrill rushes through me.
"So." he leans in, his eyes tearing away from me and onto the book. As he inches towards me, his scent embraces me and I'm back to being distracted. It's an oceanic scent that isn't too overwhelming but strong enough to hold my attention.
He reaches out to point at a certain word towards the book, his arm brushes against mine as I jolt with the sudden zap that surges through me.
"What's wrong?" His brows furrows, Eyes studying me.
I shake my head no, my voice traps into my throat. I look back to the book, breaking the little staring contest that we're having.
"As I was saying yesterday into the class-----" and I zoned out.
"Get it?" Timothy asked me, snapping me out of the thoughts. I have no idea how long he was speaking for but we're on the different page and questions.
"Am I falling for his, no... I can't...
I shake my head, eyes fluttering, rapidly. "Yes."
I look at him only to notice him shaking his head.
"I know you just lie." He chuckles. "Don't worry though, you'll get it soon." He closes the book and looks into my eyes.
In a second that we stare into each other's eyes, the bell rings. Timothy gets up as he makes his way to his desk.
"Try to catch up in the class." He gives a warm smile before writing something on the board.
A Swarm of students flooded the classroom, filling the empty spaces, and for some reason for I'm finally able to breathe again.
"Good morning Mr. Holden" the person to come in greets him, Edward, who instantly looks towards me as he notices I'm already here. I lay my eyes upon Timothy, who was staring at the boy down by my side.
"Why are you so early, cupcake?" Eddie asks me, he opens his school bag, smiling at me but panting as if he comes back from a marathon. I smile at him but answer. "Mr. Harold asked me to have extra as yesterday I couldn't pay attention to his lecture." Edward glance at Timothy and he says " if you're having problems with your studies, I'll help you, we will study together after the class, okay?"
"It's okay Eddie and thanks for the concern but after the class, I need to go and search for some good part-time job." I deny him.
"Why? why do you need a part-time job? he asks me with concern.
I lick my lips before telling him," Actually... I'm having some financial problems right now so I need a part-time job." He nods his head.
"Ahh, Jenny I have a question to ask you?" he says nervously.
"Yeah, sure tell me what is it?" I smile and ask him.
He rubs his neck shyly," Actually the place where I'm staying right now is so far from the school and takes me so much time to get here. As you can see when I came here I was panting because I come here running. So........." He stops and looks at his feet nervously.
"So..... what Eddie, what is it...tell me" I pinch his chin to make him face me and he became stiff by my touch, I hurriedly take my hand back and said sorry.
He cleared his throat and said, "So what I'm saying if I know that your apartment is close from here, so I want to ask if you could let me share your apartment...."
"What!!!!" I exclaim and my eyes go wide. He covers my mouth with his hand, " Shh.... why are you yelling it's not what you think, what I meant is I will pay you to rent. So please please let me stay there... I have nowhere else to go... and I'm having so much problem with this also I not able to concentrate in my studies... will you please..." He asks me with a pleading voice.
It's a good idea if I let him stay there so he will pay me rentals... It will help me to solve my problem. He looks at me with disappointment cause I not replying to him. He looks upset.
"Ohaky, deal," I tell him smiling.
He looks at me excitingly, "What, really?? you're not kidding me, right???"
"No, I'm not!!" I assure him.
He hugs me happily," Thanks a lot, Jennifer I can't tell you how happy I am right now, you solved my really big problem, thank you so much."
I pat his back with my hand," You're suffocating me, leave me now, will you??"
"Oh sorry sorry, did I hurt you, actually I got excited so I forgot" he shows his boxy smile which could make any girl fall for him.
"Yeah, yeah, it's okay.... but I have a condition," I tell him
" And what is it?" he asks me confusedly.
"You can't tell anyone that we're looking together, I mean that you're going to stay in my apartment as a tenant, Ohkay?"
"Why?" he raises his eyebrow and asks curiously.
"Because I don't want anyone to misunderstand me and I don't want to be a topic of gossips."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone, but please let me stay there. Don't kick me out" he says and we both laugh.

❤️ Timothy' POV❤️My eyes never leaving Jennifer and that guy putting his hands on her unceasingly. I nibble on my inner cheek. My heart thumps in my chest as soon as I see the boys sitting right beside her. He wraps his hand around her and hugs her, both acting as something more than just friends and stabbing me multiple times in my chest at their intimate closeness and touches. I swallow all the bitterness as I'm witnessing everything, his hands on her back, his body tightly pressed against her, and the way they both laugh when say something to her. "Edward I would like you to retrieve your seat, why don't you understand when I say that I don't like any changes in my class, "I speak out with rudeness but I can't help...

I chuckle at his behavior but leans over the table on which my tray of food laid. "Eat lazy man," I tease him and grab hold of my strawberry milk to put the straw in it, and sip on it. "I'm not lazy I'm just lacking energy on a daily basis." he pouts and moves towards his own food. " Hey look what I took for you," he holds a banana up, smiling at me as Jacob frowned at him. "Me? Why? I point my finger at myself, wondering what is wrong with him today to say that." Every day at school you bring an apple to eat and I'm tired of seeing you rejecting the Banana which is good for your health, so please, Jennifer, he grabs my hand to turn it upside down and lay the fruit on the palm of it. "Eat my Banana." Jacob instantly bursts into tears of laughter, finding this

I hear the door creaking open. "Oh, you're awake.." Edward chimes as he enters the bedroom. "You should get ready before we're both late" he chuckles as he sits down on the bed, the mattress sinking with his weight. I curl my legs towards me, avoiding touching him. "What happened?" I rubbed my eyes, trying to get myself more alert before looking back at him. "You fell asleep peacefully on my bed" his head tilting to the right as his lips stretching into a warm smile. "

❤️ Timothy' POV❤️Everyone was doing their work, except Jennifer, I get up from my seat and take a tour of the classroom, checking everyone if they're doing their work or not. I reach to her seat and find her writing something but it's not the math exercise that I told everyone to do. What is she writing with so much concentration? I peek at her notebook, I take a glimpse of some words which gives a fire sensation into my body. "I know your good at writing novels, but miss Jennifer this is not the right time to do it." She jumps on her seat by my voice and shut her notebook to hide the things that she wrote and look straight away. I flatten my hand on her desk and bend over to look at her face. "What were you writing Miss Jennifer?". I ask her still known what was it. She doesn't answer me but just toy with her pen. So I snatch her n

I turn around to look at him, standing on his spot with his leather bag in his hand and his strong arms on which is hung his black jacket, and he's staring at me with his pitch-black eyes that always have a strong impact and power on me, no matter the expression and emotions they exude, I'm always enthralled. "What did you say?" I hold my breath back, feeling certain pressure onto my shoulders just to imagine him reading my notebook and my personal story. " I like the way you write."

I walk in the direction of the classroom to finally face the room, slide open the door, and go inside.He was already there, his hands tucked in his pockets and leaning back on the sliding door he looks at me and locked the door behind us."Give me my not----" I shut my mouth from shock as his hands grabbed my arm to pin me against the wall. His strong body pressed on mine with his hands firmly laid on the flat surface hurting my back. He looks deeply into my eyes, his sharp and warm breathing heating on my skin as the current closeness making me choke on air."Why were you holding his hand?" he grabbed my jaw with his on-hand tightly, squeezing my cheeks. He rasps in a steady but in a strict voice,

Anyway, there's nothing special about him to be known about, okay....". Edward pushes him back to make some space between me and Blake."What the shit are you talking Eddie, that there's nothing special about him.....dude he's the star baseball player of our school, have you forgotten??"

It was time to go home. Edward couldn’t decide if he was more excited or more anxious about it. Everything had been going so well between him and Vanessa, but that was on vacation. Now it was time to go back to the real world. It didn’t help that everything felt like a rush. A rush to get the rental back into order. A rush to pack everything. A rush to get to the airport on time. ~ WEEKS LATER ~~ Edward was on his computer in his home office when Vanessa came in to check on him. “Work?” Vanessa asked curiously, her hair was still wet from the shower she’d just taken.

Had Vanessa ever been more surprised than the moment when Edward told Nick they were a couple? If so, she couldn’t recall. She was still in dismay even after they came back to the villa.If you’d asked her what she would have expected Edward to say it would be a dismissive answer or not to reply at all.For Edward to so casually say that they were together kind of blew her mind.She was torn between wanting to ask Edward a million questions, play it cool, and tear off his clothes on the spot.But of course, they were surrounded by friends so she mostly just had an internal battle withherself.Sure enough, as the storm picked up outside the house suddenly went dark.

Edward was trying to distract his attention from the temptation of Vanessa but no matter how hard he tried it wasn’t working.He was shuffling in his seat, trying to talk with others to keep him distracted.He was talking with Jacob when they were distracted by the notification sound of Jacob’s phone.They both looked at his phone and they frowned upon it. It was the message from the secretary of Edward’s mother.“What’s it about?” Edward asked with a scowl.Jacob tapped on the screen of his phone and he was amazed by the content.“It worked, Edward.” He said with excitement, his voice was a little too h

Someone was being loud in the house. That wasn’t surprising. But what was surprising was that Edward quickly realized he wasn’t alone in his bed.Without opening his eyes Edward could feel the comforting weight of Vanessa’s body half flung over his. A leg was tangled in between his, an arm wrapped around him, and a face pressed against his neck.As he blinked and took stock of his bedroom he realized they must have fallen asleep watching television because it was actually still on.He remembered the butterflies in his stomach when Vanessa had curled up closer to him the night before, but the cuddling must have just happened when they fell asleep.Really he was helpless to bring his fingers up through Vanessa’s hair, enjoying the sleepy groan that

It was a weird phenom to always want to shower after going to the beach. Between the sand, sunscreen, and sweat it was impossible not to feel gross after a day by the water.Since they were in a house full of people Vanessa was mindful only to take a quick shower so they didn’t run out of hot water. She did take the time to blow dry her hair out though.Eric had made it clear that they were on their own for the night since he was dragging Emma out into town for a quiet dinner together.Vanessa didn't blame him but she also had no idea what the others were thinking about doing.After throwing on new clothes, she went downstairs to find that Jacob was already in the living room.“Everyone else still showering?&rdquo

~ EDWARD~I felt awful the next day. I knew that I’d messed up as soon as Vanessa had left her work without so much as coming to say goodbye first. Then going to talk to her later had just made me realize how bothered Vanessa had been lately.I knew that we’d been off, but it seemed like things were just getting worse. My first instinct was usually to bury myself in work, but instead of going into the office, I decided to stay home that day.As soon as I worked up the nerve I texted Vanessa to see when we could talk and then waited.The longer that Vanessa took to get back to me the more nervous I got.I couldn’t even really focus on getting any work done because I kept checking my phone.

It was a weird feeling being both absolutely head over heels for someone and watching what they were doing with such disappointment and sorrow.Vanessa had never been happier with anyone before which only made it harder to suddenly feel like it was slipping away from her. As much as Edward liked to take care of her when he was around, that didn’t stop him from falling back into his habit of letting work overrun his life.Vanessa understood it, she really did. Just like she loved working in that cafe and could lose herself in it, so did Edward with his company’s work.Unlike Edward though, Vanessa didn’t let her passion get in the way of the other aspects of her life.It was a little different because it was also Edward’s career on the line, but wh

In some ways being with Vanessa was the easiest thing in the world, but in some ways, it was the hardest thing for Edward.It wasn’t always easy to shut off the part of his brain that just wanted to keep working on his company’s issue day long. He loved it. But he also loved being around Vanessa.The part that was the most difficult was how easy it was for him to stay at work long hours on days when he knew he wouldn’t be seeing Vanessa.When Vanessa had worked all that Edward would do was stay at work. His schedule only changed when he needed it to.Logically he knew that he hadn’t really changed his ways that much at all. He was still putting in long hours, just adjusting them around Vanessa’s schedule.
