Jesse's POV:Night had descended, and Trevor had left after bringing Tamara some blueberries. Tamara told me she felt better and wanted to go home. Surprisingly, I agreed. As we walked towards the door, Aunt Serena walked out of her room, catching us in the act."Where are you two going?" she asked."I want to drop Tamara at her place. It's late, and she needs to go to school tomorrow," I explained."Nooo, she isn't going anywhere," Aunt Serena refuted in her authoritative tone. She turned to Tamara, holding her hand. "Tamara dear, I'll be here for a week. Would you mind staying so you can keep me company?""Hmmm," Tamara blurted out before she realized. "I'm sorry, I...""I know you won't refuse. Thanks, Tamara," Aunt Serena interrupted, leaving Tamara speechless."Aunt Serena," I called out in frustration."Stay out of this, Jesse," she scolded, leading Tamara to the dining table for dinner. "Join us, Jesse," she instructed in her usual authoritative tone. As we sat around the table
Jesse's POV:"Tamara," I whispered, my voice husky with need. She didn't reply with words, instead pulling me back into another searing kiss.Our breaths mingled, and the room seemed to heat up with the intensity of our connection. I gently pushed her back onto the couch, positioning myself over her. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she bit her lip, a look of both anticipation and uncertainty crossing her face.I ran a hand down her side, feeling the soft curve of her body through the thin fabric of the nightgown. My fingers brushed against her thigh, eliciting another soft moan. Her reaction drove me wild, and I leaned down to kiss her neck, trailing my lips along her jawline.She shivered beneath me, her hands clutching at my back. "Jesse," she breathed, her voice trembling.I pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes again. "Tamara, we should stop," I asked, hoping she would refuse so I could tame down my want. Her eyes were dark with desire. "No," she whispered, pulling me back down
Tamara’s POV:Night had fallen, and Trevor left after bringing me blueberries. I happily ate them like a baby given breast milk. After that, I told Jesse I could go home now that I felt better, and surprisingly, he agreed. As we headed towards the door, Aunt Serena appeared from her room, catching us off guard."Where are you two going?" she asked, her tone authoritative."I'm taking Tamara home. It's late, and she has school tomorrow," Jesse explained."No, she's not going anywhere," Aunt Serena refuted firmly, turning to me with a request. "Tamara dear, I'll be here for a week. Would you mind staying to keep me company?"I hesitated, overwhelmed by her insistence. Before I could respond, Aunt Serena anticipated my answer. "I know you won't refuse. Thank you, Tamara," she said, leaving me speechless."Aunt Serena," Jesse interjected out of frustration."Stay out of this, Jesse," she scolded him, taking my hand and leading me to the dining table for dinner. "Join us, Jesse," she instr
Tamara's POV "I will get you a furnished apartment tonight and triple your salary if you would be my fake girlfriend," he said to me. "And why would you think I'd do that?" I asked, giving him a nonchalant look. "You're left without a place to stay after using all your earnings to pay off your parents' debt and cover your tuition fees. Despite needing help, you would rather find a solution yourself." "Are you stalking me? How do you know all this?" I questioned, with disbelief written all over my face. "I have my ways, Tamara," he responded with a stern look. "You even know my name." ➨➨➨➨➨➨➨➨ Tears streamed down my cheeks as I read and reread these words on my computer screen: "Congratulations, Tamara Hinds, you have been offered admission to study at the University of Wellsbrough." For three long years, I had to put my dream of attending college on hold after finishing high school. My parents were struggling with debt because of my dad's medical bills, and my mum's
As the lecturer began his lesson, he introduced himself. "By now, I believe you all know my name is Jesse Carter." His voice stern, “Could he be related to the Carter's family?” a girl behind me questioned. “Obviously not, none of the Carter's would ever stop so low to teach at a lowlife university” another answered. I focused intently, jotting down notes and paying all my attention to him. Suddenly, he turned in my direction, and our eyes locked for a moment. His piercing blue gaze felt almost accusatory. "You," he said, pointing directly at me. "Explain what I covered yesterday." I turned around to see if he was referring to someone near me, but my heart sank when I realized he was addressing me. Summoning up the courage, I replied, "Sir, you sent me out of class yesterday." He raised an eyebrow, his expression hardening. "And you think that's an excuse? If you weren't present, you should have read extensively to catch up. I don't condone unserious students. Get out of my c
Jesse's POVThe morning light filtered through the curtains as I woke up, the day stretching ahead with its usual routine. Today was just another day, or so I thought. I arrived at the university early, ready to start my lectures. As the first class began, I scanned the room, my eyes catching sight of a girl trying to make her way inside. Our gazes locked for a moment.She was stunning—her presence seemed to light up the room. Her hair framed her face perfectly, and her eyes held a quiet intelligence that drew me in. I felt a strange sensation, something I hadn’t felt in a long time. I was captivated, almost mesmerized. For a moment, I found myself staring, lost in her beauty. Immediately, I snapped back to reality, anger bubbling up inside me. How could I let her affect me like this? It was unprofessional and inappropriate. In a harsh attempt to regain control, I ordered her to leave."You're late. If you can't come early, you can't be in my class. Get out," I said, my voice sharper
I got home, worry gnawing at me. The image of the girl from earlier kept flashing in my mind, and the thought of getting a girlfriend in 24 hours was all over my mind. I grabbed my phone and called Trevor, my personal assistant and best friend. “Trevor, I need you to meet me at my house. It’s urgent,” I said, trying to mask the anxiety in my voice. When Trevor arrived, I wasted no time. “I need you to do a search on a girl,” I blurted out, pacing the room. Trevor looked surprised. “A girl?” he asked, giving me a fishy look. “Yeah, there’s this student… she’s been stirring up some unwanted emotions in me. I need to find out about her,” I explained, trying to sound casual but feeling anything but. Trevor’s eyebrows shot up. “Unwanted emotions? Are you okay, Jesse?” “I’m fine,” I snapped, then softened my tone. “I just need to know more about her. And… I need a girlfriend. Find a girl to act as my girlfriend for tomorrow.” Trevor was taken aback. “A girlfriend in 24 hours? Jesse,
The rest of the vening continued with me answering all the questions Dad and Aunt Serena threw at us. Ranging from different series questions like how fast we are pacing our relationship, that was none of my business there isn’t any relationship after all. I just wanted to pull through this night. I noticed Tamara sitting quietly, her eyes darting between the speakers, absorbing every word. I knew I had dragged her into my mess, but I was rewarding her for her time, so it really changed nothing. During dinner, I messaged Trevor, my personal assistant, to make arrangements for an apartment near the university. As the evening wound down, dinner was over with Aunt Serena and Dad bidding us goodbye while Olivia just sat indifferently. I led Tamara to the car, opening the door for her before getting in myself. The drive was quiet, the air filled with the unspoken tension of her unasked questions. I could see the curiosity and confusion in her eyes through the rearview mirror. I knew
