Sebastian looked around the class as he realized that he hasn’t seen Erica. He looked at his watch, his brow furrowed. It was almost the end of his class and she was no where to be seen.After their night together, they had pretended like nothing happened between them so what could be the issue and why hasn’t she showed up in class?He had a feeling something was wrong. He knew she was someone who has never missed his class.After the class was over, he took his phone from his pocket and dialed her number. It rang several times but there was no answer.He got to his office and sat down on his chair, holding his phone and still dialing her number hoping she would pick up.It rang three times and just as he was about to hung up, she answered, her voice barely audible.“Hello, Erica?” he said, a look of relief on his face.“Se…bastian?” she said in a faint whisper, her voice shaking.Hearing her voice, a worried expression showed on his face.“Is everything okay?” he whispered softly.“I
Ring!Ring!!Ring!!!Sebastian’s phone kept going off and he finally pulled it out of his pocket to see who was calling. It was Luke his friend.He sighed as he looked at his phone. He knew the only reason Luke would be calling is because he must have found out about the envelope. But he decided to answer it.“Hello?” “Hey, Sebastian, we need to talk. Where are you?”Sebastian didn’t want to reveal his current location. “I’m somewhere. What do you wanna talk about?”“You know I can’t talk about that on phone man. Let’s meet at the bar close to the your house.” Luke said, his voice sounding a bit tense.“All right, I’ll be there.” Sebastian replied, trying to sound casual.“Okay, Sebastian, I’ll see you in half an hour.”Sebastian hung up the phone and sighed. He knew he was in for a difficult conversation. What if Luke was angry with him?“Who was that?” Erica asked, as she turned to Sebastian.“Um…a friend. He wants to see me.” he told her, as he got up to get his coat.“Why? I hope
“Erica, you have been acting really strange lately.” Lisa said as Erica sat down on the couch.“What’s going on with you?”Erica shook her head. “Nothing. I’ve just been spending more time studying and thinking.”Lisa not convinced by her roommates words.“I don’t believe that for a second. You’ve been avoiding everyone, especially me. What’s going on?”Erica stood up and looked at Lisa. “Nothing alright. I just have some stuffs to deal with at the moment, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.”She wasn’t ready to tell Lisa that she had been seeing Professor Sebastian secretly, because she knew her friend would try to convince her otherwise.“You are someone who never tells people your problem even when it’s taking too much from you. But please, just know that I care about you, Erica and I’m worried something is going on, but you just don’t wanna tell me.” Lisa said, a look of concern on her face.Erica sighed deeply. “Look, Lisa. There’s nothing going on alright? So don’t worry about me.
“Can I take your order?” the waitress asked, jotting down notes with her pen.“Um… pizza with a nice cold juice for two would be fine.” Mark replied, flashing a flirtatious smile at the waitress.“Sure thing, coming right up!” she responded cheerfully before heading off to the kitchen.Erica shook her head in disbelief.“What’s wrong?” Mark inquired innocently.“You never fail to surprise me, Mark. Flirting with the waitress, really?”Erica gestured towards the waitress as she took orders from other customers.“What can I say, Erica? A man has needs, especially since you broke my heart. I need someone to keep me company.” Mark responded, casually.Erica rolled her eyes and shook her head in disdain. Mark hadn’t changed one bit. He was still the same asshole who cared about only his own selfish needs.“So, what did you want to talk about?” she asked, crossing her arms and fixing him with a cold stare.Mark leaned back in his chair, studying Erica’s expression for a moment before respon
“Why are you bringing the past into all of this dude? What happened then wasn’t my fault and you should know that by now, Luke.”Luke shook his head. “I know… but I just don’t want what happened then to happen again. You know you lost your job because of it and so you had to move down here to start afresh.So whatever thing you have going on with that college chick, my advise is let it end.”Sebastian sighed deeply. He knew Luke meant well, but he also felt torn between his feelings for Erica and the risks involved.“I get where you’re coming from, Luke.” his heart heavy with worry.“But it’s not that simple. She means a lot to me, and I can’t just walk away from her. Not after what we went through together.Luke leaned closer to Sebastian. “If the authorities find out that you are dating your student….things could get ugly just like it did before.”“That’s not gonna happen.” Sebastian’s voice was firm, though he had some doubt in his eyes.“I won’t let history repeat itself. I’ll han
CHAPTER 63: The Stalker.Sebastian turned the key in the lock, his heart beating in his chest as he wondered who could possibly be stalking him and why.Just then he felt a tap on his shoulder and before he could turn and see who it was, he received a sudden punch to his jaw.Pow!“Ouch!What the hell, man?” Sebastian asked in shock, rubbing his jaw where Mark had hit him.Mark’s face was serious as he spoke. “You better stay away from Erica if you want to keep your job. Got it?”Sebastian, still feeling the pain in his jaw, stared at Mark with confusion. “Why are you here? And how did you find my address?”Mark’s expression darkened with anger as he stepped closer to Sebastian, his fist clenched at his sides.“You think you can just swoop in and steal Erica away from me? You’re a damn fool if you think I’ll let that happen.” his voice filled with anger.Sebastian knew what he was talking about but pretended he didn’t. “Look, Mark, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Erica and I a
While, Erica and Lisa were coming out of their dorm to go to class, they noticed a student, packing her belongings and had a sad expression on her face. Erica wondered what could have happened.After she got to class, she noticed that everyone was talking about the female student. Just then one of her course mate came up to her.“Did you hear about Charlotte?”Erica shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”“What happened?”The coursemate looked around and signaled for Erica and Lisa to come closer so that no one would hear their discussion. So Erica and Lisa leaned closer to her.“I heard that the school authorities found out that she was dating Professor Lex and so they had him fired and her expelled from school.” she whispered.“Omg!”Lisa exclaimed after she heard it and then turned to look at Erica. Erica gaver her a confused stare and then she looked back at the other coursemate.“How did they find out that Professor Lex and Charlotte were dating?”“Apparently, someone sent the school an
“I don’t know that you can cook, Sebastian.” Erica said, as she came to the kitchen and sat down.He looked at her sheepishly. “Yeah, I know But I thought I could give it a try.”Erica raised an eyebrow.“You sure you don’t want to just order takeout instead?”"No, I really want to do this," Sebastian said. "I want to make you a nice meal, and I want to show you that I can do it."Erica smiled. "Well, I admire your ambition. But are you sure you don't want me to help you? I'm not exactly a master chef, but I know my way around the kitchen."He shook his head. “No. I want to do this for you.”“Awww…. isn’t he the sweetest boyfriend ever!” she said, as she walked towards him and gave him a peck on the cheek.Sebastian beamed, feeling a wave of affection for his girlfriend. He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.“I’ll show you just how sweet I can be.” he said, his voice low and full of promise.“Promises, promises.” she teased, but there was a hint of anticipation in her voice.She
