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
