Private Lessons- Sample Chapters
I jerked in my seat when I felt my phone vibrate in my jean pocket. I pulled it out to see a text from Lucy. I was currently in the middle of my English class which was really boring since I had already read all of Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's novels. Lucy and I had one or two different classes every day
'I'm so bored.'--Lucy
'Same here.'
I hit send and tried to focus on the board in front of me. The day was dragging by and I just wanted to get out of school as soon as possible. It was Friday, for god's sake.
My phone buzzed again on my desk, earning a few stares from my classmates.
'Andrew invited us to a party this weekend.' --Lucy

Sequel to 'Private Lessons' but can be read as a stand-alone also."Always and forever?" I asked, gazing into his crystal blue eyes and he held my hand, giving it a slight squeeze."Always and forever, Lu." Theo gave me one of his dashing smiles and I grinned widely, tucking my hair behind my ears shyly.Theodore Phillips was 14 years old and I was 13. Even though we went to different schools and our houses weren't nearby, we were always together. He was my best friend in the whole wide world and we knew everything about each other but little did I know about the disaster that was going to happen later that day that would break us apart."I'll be right back. My friends are at my house waiting for me." He stood up and started to dust his pants while I remained seated on the muddy grounds of our

"Wakey, wakey!" I heard my friend and my colleague, Grace Cooper's high-pitched voice, making me groan in frustration."Seriously? What time is it?" I stretched a bit, pulling my sheets closer to my body."It's 8 am and you need to get ready in an hour tomeet the Dean of our hospital. It's our first day, Lu." She exclaimed, pulling the sheets off my body to reveal the black cocktail dress that I wore last night to the club with Riley. She was my high school best friend and I loved the fact that we were both back in town after years of being apart from each other. She married her high school sweetheart and they have a six-year-old daughter together. We had so much to catch up and it was just like the old times.God, I missed her so much."Lucy Wilson! Did you party all night again?" she asked with her hands on her hips and I sat up straight on my bed, finally opening my eyes fully to look at

"Fuck, my legs are hurting. I'm done with the number of rounds we had to do today." I whined, sitting down at the hospital cafeteria and Grace copied my actions,placing our coffees on the table."For starters, you shouldn't have worn those wedges." She laughed at my whining and I stuck my tongue out at her in a playful manner."It was pretty good actually. I mean, we could get used to this and it's definitely not bad for our first day." I spoke, taking a sip of my coffee."Yeah and I think Dr.Brew has the hots for you." She winked at me suggestively and I rolled my eyes."He isn't my type but he seems nice though. I wouldn't mind if he is my mentor." I shrugged casually and pulled out my phone to check my messages and emails."Let's see what happens. Also, we are meeting this guy around 7 ish tomorrow. We would be done for the day by then, right?" she asked, busy typing a

I tried to calm my nerves as soon as I reached the restroom. I couldn't believe he still remembered our kiss and brought it up 'oh so causally' in front of Grace. I know I should have told him about Andrew that time but it wasn't like we were back to being best friends and I definitely didn't expect him to kiss me out of nowhere.Oh, God! Grace?What would she even think?Bythe way, I had no idea how he knew I had a boyfriend back then.Is that why he didn't contact me all these years?My head was filled with all kinds of crazy thoughts and assumptions but I shook my head and took a deep breath. I need to maintain my cool for Grace as tonight wasn't about me. I could deal with his arrogant ass later.When I walked back towards the table, I found both of t

"Get the fuck out of here. No way!" I gasped inshock, my eyes going wide and he just laughed at my expression, stepping inside and closed the door behind him."I know it's crazy but it's true. I've been staying here for two years now.""Wow, that's---" I paused, unable to form a proper sentence as I was still trying to process the newfound information."Horrible? Unexpected? Worse?" he suggested, raising his eyebrows and I rolled my eyes at him."Amazing, Theo. Get over here." I chuckled and wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly and he hugged me back tighter."God, you have no idea how much I missed this." He sighed against my shoulders and I smiled, feeling warm and safe between his arms."Me too. We still have a lot to catch up on." I pulled back and hit his arm lightly."I know. Sit down, Lu." He sat down on my couch and patt
Meant to be? Chapter Five
Few weeks passed by and everything was going so well. I was loving my job and I was hanging out with Theo most of the time when I was back home from work. We used to play video games or watch Netflix or simply chill out doing nothing at all. We were both comfortable around each other and I felt like we had become even closer than before.Grace on the other hand was trying so hard to get any kind of information about him from me. It was even more convenient for her now but at one point it was getting out of hand and I was getting really pissed."So you and Theo huh?" Riley, my best friend from high school asked, breaking my chain of thoughts and I choked on my own saliva. We were meeting out for lunch at a small diner near my hospital as I was tired of hanging out with Grace.It seemed like the only reason she was talking with me nowadays was to get to know more about Theo from me and I really needed a bre

The next morning I woke up in my bed with a horrible hangover and let out a loud groan. I was in no mood to head to work and just wanted to sleep in. I rolled over and picked up my phone from the bedside table and found a dozen of texts from Theo and one from Grace. I opened her text first in my sleepy daze. 'Sorry about yesterday. Hope you didn't feel awkward.' - Grace. What the hell? It was like she was trying to rub it in my face. I took a deep breath reminding myself that I had no right to feel this way at all. They were dating and people who date are allowed to kiss. I shook my head and opened his texts which went like this, 'Where are you?' 'Did you get home safe?' 'God, woman! Pick up your phone.' That text made me laugh for some reason and I started to type him a reply. 'Rela

"Hi, Lucy!" I heard Grace's high-pitched voice in the cafeteria as I was ordering my coffee. I was finally on my break after working for four hours straight. I turned around slowly to find her walking towards me. She looked so happy and I could see it in her eyes sparkling with excitement.Dear Lord!I think I need a double espresso. I was not completely out of my hangover yet."Hi, Grace." I tried to force a cheerful smile and she pulled me by my hand as soon as I received my coffee, dragging me to the corner of the cafeteria."I really need to tell you about last night. It was so magical." She started and I kept staring at her, maintaining a straight face."Was it?" I asked in a sarcastic tone, looked down at my coffee and she had a small frown on her face."What is it? Are you mad or something?""Well, you didn't text me last nig
