The Professor Chapter 62
The moment she walked through his front door, she was attacked by different people, all eager to either measure her or get a glimpse of her face. She'd barely seen Alex since her arrival, he was also busy as well. The makeup stylist was excited to try new products on her face, the hair stylist was busy figuring out what type and colour of wig would suit her face shape and well, the lady in charge of the dresses wouldn't stop at one gown,By the time they were done with everything, it was already late into the night and Alex had come into the room like fifty times only to get chased out by the ladies. The three of them had decided on a black strapless lace corset-style gown that had a slit that started from the side of her thigh down to her leg. The top was sheer with only her breasts concealed while the bottom was a tight-fitting satin skirt that fell like a pool to the side. The entire outfit was paired with black open-toe stiletto heels and a silver studded clutch bag. Maya found th

When they stepped into the ballroom, she was awed beyond measure. Her lips parted slightly at the magnanimity of the room, the place was packed full of different people and they were all beautifully dressed, matching the occasion."Wow," She scoffed, amazed at the decor, "This place is wonderful."Alex hummed in agreement, patting the back of her palm lightly. As they walked into the room, more and more people began to notice them and she suddenly felt self-conscious. She knew why Alex decided to forego his mask for the meantime but she wished he had worn it. That way they could blend into the background and enjoy the evening like a normal couple. But nothing about this was normal. Nothing about them was."Alexander!" Someone called loudly from the crowd. Maya spotted a woman sauntering towards them, a large smile on her ruby-coloured lips. Alex gently peeled his arm off Maya to wrap them around the woman."Happy birthday, Mom." Alex kissed the side of her face making the woman giggl

Maya was stunned and speechless, heavy puffs of air escaped from her lips. She blinked several times as if that would change anything, maybe she hoped that it would. Then she wouldn't be standing in this fairytale-turned-nightmare. Jerry took a step forward and she took one back. He sighed despondently, dragging a hand down his face, "Look, Miss Greene, I know it's hard for you to believe me but-" She raised a hand, stopping whatever he was going to say, "Greenley. My name is Greenley.""I apologize, I thought -" "And if you are a friend of Alex like you said then you wouldn't be going behind his back and slandering him," She was fuming now but apprehension had begun to settle in her gut. "That's disgusting." Jerry sighed, shaking his head like she didn't understand anything and maybe she didn't. "Trust me, I've spoken to him about this."Maya frowned and cocked her head to the side, "And what was his response?"He shrugged, "He said that you-" "You two are well aware that this i

"What do you think of this outfit?" Maya looked up from what she was doing to examine Jason, she lifted a brow at the hot pink flare pants and white crop top that he was donning. He'd paired it with a white and black scarf tied fashionably around his neck and a cowboy on his messy blonde hair."And where exactly are you heading to?" She returned to the shots she was currently taking of the lasagna she'd just made. "The queer cowboy's convention?" Jason scoffed and hopped on the countertop across from her, digging a finger into the guacamole she'd made earlier, "One, I'm heading out to a horse ranch downtown with some of my friends and two, there's nothing like queer cowboys convention, how did you even come up with that?" His voice rose incredulously at the end of the statement. Maya rolled her eyes, refusing to respond to him. Her gaze was focused on the food in front of her. The videos had come out nicely, all she wanted was a few nice shots and then she was done. Jason was alway

Maya quietly slurped on the smoothie in her hold, a pen in hand and eyes focused on the textbook on the table in front of her. Although Burberry's was fairly busy today, she'd chosen the booth far back in the restaurant, it was secluded and no one would get a good view of her unless they were looking very closely. Her first exam was in three days and to say that she was anxious was an understatement, pharmacology tests were quite difficult and she mostly had a hard time differentiating between the different compounds in some drugs. She took a small bite from the fries on the table and sipped from her drink again,Just then, her phone buzzed, the screen coming to life instantly. It was a text message from Jason asking when she would be arriving. She typed back a quick response saying she would be there in an hour. Maya dropped back her phone, returning her focus to the book.Jason was extra hyper for Derek's birthday, although he'd attributed it to his party-planning persona. She knew

The entire room was pitch black, no matter how much she squinted, she couldn't make out anything. It was too dark, she mused fearfully. Jason whispered something inaudible but Darla must have heard because she snorted. Maya gripped Gab's fingers and squeezed making the girl nudge her,"How far did Micah say they were?" She asked quietly, her other hand tightening around the balloon strings, "I can't stay like this much longer. You know how much I hate the dark." Gab squeezed back, "I know. But he said he would be here any minute from-" The sound of tires approaching made them freeze instantly. Maya's eyes widen a fraction when the headlights flashed against her face, she quickly ducked to avoid being caught. "They're here," Darla murmured, excitement lacing her tone and Maya gulped.It took a moment but soon she could hear their voices nearing the front door. It was hard to hear exactly what they were saying but she knew it was Micah and Derek. The doorknob clicked and the door c

His lips moved against hers but she remained frozen, his tongue brushed against her bottom lip and she tried earnestly not to wince. It wasn't that he was a terrible kisser, no it was the opposite,He was wonderful at kissing but she just felt nothing.She was expecting something to unfurl within her, maybe a tiny spark. But all she thought of while his lips were devouring hers was how different it would be if it was Alex kissing her. She thought of his smouldering dark eyes and his mint and sandalwood scent. Maya's eyes popped open and she met his closed ones. His arms were resting on her hips, fingers digging into the material of her gown. She couldn't do this, she couldn't.So Maya pushed at his chest, making his stagger backwards with a sharp gasp. She heaved, panting for breath. Derek looked baffled, the space between his brows furrowed deeply,"Did I-" He stopped, swallowing tightly, "Did I do something wrong?" "No, you didn't do anything," She shook her head, blinking away th

"Take my hand, Maya."She looked from him to his outstretched palm, debating whether to take it or not. When she caught his eyes again, something flashed in them. Something akin to understanding.So she stretched her hand, placing it atop his. The corner of his lips twitched slightly, her eyes remained fixed on his. She rose to her feet with his help, staggering a little from the sudden motion. His hands came around her arm to steady her and she pressed her hands against his chest in response.They stayed like that, his hand tightening around her flesh. The chill in her bones was beginning to melt away the longer he held her. It felt like he was fire and she was ice. Goosebumps were already starting to form on her exposed back, and she suddenly regretted wearing a gown like this. "Let's get in the car." He said softly but she remained fixed in her spot. She wished they could stay like this, in the darkness of the night with nothing but the chirping crickets and the cold air to accomp

The Professor Epilogue
|SIX YEARS LATER|"All flu patients please come to the second floor. I repeat, all flu patients please come to the second floor."The voice behind the intercom echoed loudly in the space and she walked over to Mrs Carlyle. Before she even got within a foot of her, the woman sneezed noisily into her kerchief."Mrs Carlyle?" She gently called and the woman snapped her head. "Please go to the second floor, the nurses there will attend to you quicker."She bobbed her head up and down, grabbing her bag and rising to her feet, "Oh, thank you, darli-" She sneezed again and Maya winced as the elderly woman walked away. "It's not even winter and the flu is spreading like wildfire already." Someone said behind her and she sighed.She knew who it was without looking back, "It's heartbreaking seeing all these patients come in looking so sick." She spun around and the blonde exhaled when he saw the look in her eyes."Are you still blaming yourself for Lucy?" He placed a comforting hand on her sho

"Come on, come on!" Jason yelled at them, urging them to run faster. Her legs pumped with each step she took, her heart pounding erratically. Derek was close behind her, his harsh pants could be heard in the quiet hallway. Today was their last exam and as fate would have it, they were all writing the same course. Psychology.They arrived at the lecture hall in time and Jason raced in first, followed closely by Maya and then Derek. The hall was packed full and the professor was already at the lectern, handing out exam sheets to the students. "Thank God," Jason groaned, moving towards the end of the queue. The line moved fast, each student receiving their sheet before settling on the chair.Maya was surprised at the number of people that showed up, they weren't usually this plenty during classes and she wondered why they didn't attend any either."Thank you!" Jason quipped, collecting his sheet and hurrying towards the rows of chairs.Alex looked every bit professional today, his dar
The Professor Chapter 79
Her mother had fallen in love with Esther Grey. She wasn't kidding, at first, the two women were quite reserved and spoke quietly to each other, sometimes speaking through Maya but after a few glasses of root beer, all three of them had loosened up and they were partying like a bunch of high school girls.They had booked a private room since Esther didn't feel comfortable being in the public eye, which she understood, and sang to their heart's content. After about an hour of jumping, drinking and screaming their lungs out, Maya decided that she had had enough and chose to lounge on the couch, rather preferring watching the two older women. She took a sip from her glass and sighed in satisfaction, her fingers were already buzzing and her vision was starting to double. She blamed the bottle of tequila that they'd added to their glasses."Maya!" Her mother called, swaying her hips lightly, "Are you sure you don't want to join us!?" She giggled drunkenly, the microphone in her hold almos

"Thank you!"She gracefully accepted the large plate of pork ribs and placed it on top of the table. Her mother made a moaning sound as she sniffed the air and Maya rolled her eyes at the childishness. "What!" Her mother flared defensively, "This smells good." She rubbed her palms together and licked her lips.Maya found the whole situation hilarious especially how last year, her mother was adamant about never eating pork because she grew up on a pig ranch and considered them her family. And now,She shook her head in amusement, unable to hide her smile. Ever since Derek showed up yesterday, her mother kept bugging her about him. Asking if he was he was her future son-in-law and complaining about how skinny he looked. Maya had told her like a billion times that they were just friends but her mother didn't buy it.According to her, friends didn't hug each other. Maya shrugged her off, deciding to take her out to dinner since it had been a long time since they had some girl's time. T

Air whooshed out of her lungs, eyes wide with surprise. She fumbled for what to say, her gaze darting between Gab and her angry-looking mother. She took another step forward, hesitantly going towards her mother. "What are you doing here-" She shook her head, realizing how wrong it sounded, "I mean it's a surprise to see you!" Her mother chuckled softly, rushing to embrace Maya tightly, "Oh, mija¡ I've missed you so much." She pulled back to properly look at her, "Look how thin you've become and why did you dye your hair!? I think you're studying too hard and this town is giving you strange ideas, you were better as a brunette. Gab told me everything about it." Maya instinctively patted the ends of the wig and then gave her friend a skeptical look. Gab shrugged carelessly, "What do you mean?" "She said you spent the entire night studying at the school's library." She patted Maya's cheek lightly, "I know you care a lot about your studies cariño but you care for yourself better, oka

Maya gaped dumbfounded at the door, unable to move from her spot. She didn't know what to do at that moment, Then it hit her! Alex!He would surely have a solution for this. Just as she scrambled to her feet, the door leading to his room flung open and a shirtless Alex walked out. His eyes still looked bleary and his hair was flying all over,"Maya?" He looked surprised to see her but the expression quickly turned into concern when he saw her wide-eyed state, "Shit! What happened?" He rushed towards her, cupping her face,She silently lifted her phone, positioning the screen in his direction. She watched as his eyes grew dark and his lips turned down slightly.He threw a wary glance at the door before releasing her. Maya grabbed his arm when she noticed that he was heading for the door and gently shook her head,"What if it's them?" He smiled reassuringly and pried her fingers off his arm before heading towards the door. She watched with bated breath as he gazed into the peephole be

"Here." She quietly watched as he placed the glass on the table, the red liquid sloshing slightly from the motion. He settled on the space beside her, taking a sip from his glass. The living room was dark, their only source of illumination was the fairy light adorning the walls.After the whole scenario, Alex walked her back to the penthouse where he suggested they grabbed a bottle of his favourite wine. Maya patiently waited for him, whenever he looked at her, she would offer him an encouraging smile, "Can I hold your hand?" His request startled her a bit but she quickly blinked it away and nodded. He took her hand and squeezed gently, "I don't even know where to begin." He did an awkward laugh, shaking his head from side to side.Maya sighed softly and squeezed his palm, "Start from where you feel comfortable.""You might need a drink for that." He said in a joking manner and she chuckled alongside, "I mean it, Maya. Drink," He motioned to her untouched glass.Maya looked between

"Yes."He turned away from her, his back facing her agonized face. The first tear rolled down her face, shaky gasps escaped her parted lips as she fought to keep her emotions in check. She itched to reach out to him, to touch him. But he didn't spare her a glance so she squared her shoulders and swivelled around.She shrugged on her sundress ignoring its wet state, she gave him one last look before rushing out the door. Her heavy footsteps padded on the ground, leaving wet trails as she walked. Maya slipped into the elevator, relieved that she was the only occupant. Her trembling fingers managed to press the ground button before clutching the straps of her bag tightly. Once the doors closed shut, she allowed herself to fall to the ground, her chest racked painfully and she heaved for breath,Maya sobbed until she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore, her vision was obscured by glittering tears and her entire frame shook. If she closed her eyes, she could still vividly see the emotio

Maya was awed by two things; one was the fact that the pool was above the ground with a deck and the other was that it was jacuzzi-styled. She floated around the pool, flapping her arms around as she played with the water. "So this place is open 24/7?" She turned around to face him. Alex was leaning against the wall of the pool, watching her intently."Yes." He answered simply and she scoffed in amazement.Maya began doing a backstroke, resting her head against the water. The fairy lights adorning the entire space made everywhere seem magical and she sighed, "If I lived here, I would make good use of this place." She heard a wet plop and cracked her eyes open, but before she could turn her head, he had already wrapped his arms around her. "Hey!" Maya squealed, kicking her legs in the water as she struggled to break free. Alex casually turned her over so that she was now facing him. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his torso and flung her arms on his shoulder,He didn't s
