The Professor Chapter 54
The entire ride was awkward and painfully quiet. She kept picking at her nails, eyes remained fixed on the dark nail polish. They were ridding southeast, towards the more fancy part of town, passing by different expensive-looking houses with a little garden in front and a small picket fence surrounding it. Finally, the car stopped,Maya's eyes went wide as she took in the large building in front of her. It sort of reminded her of a medieval castle, rather than wood, the owner opted for bricks instead. The towering metal gate made a buzzing sound before it gave way and Alex skillfully drove in. "Wow," She whispered in awe, taking in the grandiosity of the driveway. There was a giant fountain with sparkling lights surrounding it, the structure of Cupid was bold in the center as it spat out water into the pool.She was entranced. Maya had only seen places like this in books and movies, never in her life did she expect she would see it in reality. She suddenly had the urge to take a pict

No one said anything for a moment. Not when they were all too busy staring at themselves. Maya felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it, she'd never quite understood the expression before, not until now."Um, H-hi!" She did another awkward wave and somebody scoffed. Her eyes fell on the culprit and she frowned,It was a young girl, she loomed to be about seventeen or so. Her luscious hair was as dark as night and she had a stark resemblance to her brother. But that wasn't what caught her attention, it was the fact that the said girl was seating in a wheelchair,The girl seemed to notice her line of sight because she rolled her eyes in aggravation. "Who the fuck is this? Another one of your many accomplishments?" "Cora!" The woman screamed reproachfully. "What!"The real Mrs Grey sighed and rose to her feet, turning to face Maya, "I apologize on behalf of my daughter, she's not always like this. I'm Esther Grey," She stretched out a hand,Mays quickly crossed the room, gi

"Popcorn, please."Maya stretched, picking up the red bowl filled with the snack and passing it over to Gab. Her eyes were focused on the textbook on he lap, nibbling the bottom of her pen,The sound of footsteps padding softly against the floorboard met her ears but she made no move to lift her gaze. Then she felt a weight beside her and Jason's scruffy blonde hair blocked her view of the anatomy she was currently invested in,"Trust me, if you keep chewing on your pen like that you're going to end up breaking the case," She made a small sound of protest when he snatched the bulky book away from her thighs, suspending it in the air and far from her reach. "You've been staring at this book for more than four hours now, you need rest, sweetheart." "Jason! Gimme that!" She moved to a kneeling position and tried to grab the textbook from his hand but he was too quick, "Jason!" She squealed when he shot to his feet, running around the small room.Maya rose as well, chasing him everywhere

"WHAT!?" He chortled, shaking his head in an amused manner. "You can't deny it, I can see it clearly in your eyes. The look of those four-letter words is written in bold fonts."Maya shook her head. Jason could say the strangest things sometimes. Why would he even say that? She? In love? That was impossible. She didn't even have a boyfriend or a potential guy for one. It was just her so Jason was making no sense at all."I think you've gotten it wrong, Jay. I'm not in love and even if I were, it would be with the free tripod stand I just got. Have you seen that thing!?" He scoffed, rolling his eyes in aggravation. "No, I'm not wrong. My love radar is never wrong and it's picking up signals from your end, sweetheart." He poked a finger at her cheek, "It's obvious though, anyone can see how much you're glowing recently and there's always this dazed loved-up look in those grey eyes of yours." Maya choked on her saliva. What? Dazed? Loved-up?Jason had to be kidding, right?One look a

She stared at the message for so long, her sight was beginning to blur. She wanted to throw the phone against the wall and scream at him for being a dick, she also wanted to smile and blush and laugh at the text.So she settled for the third option, she threw her phone on the bed and jumped on it, burying her face into the pillow. She stayed like that for several moments, debating how best to reply to him,"So what are you going to do? Will you go or not?"She shook her head fervently, "I don't know," She replied but it sounded muffled due to the pillow."I think you should go."She shot up instantly, giving her best friend a murderous look, "Hello? Did you not hear all I said? He called me dumb?" "Well, you were kind of dumb.""Gabrielle Walker!"Gab chortled, slipping into a black tee, "What do you want me to say? You were kind of dumb though, why would you approach him like that without surveilling the area? What if you'd gotten caught?" She puffed out a breath, hating that Gab

"But they are two entirely different things!"Alex chuckled but nodded, using the ballpoint pen in his hand to circle the word in the textbook. She looked at him with awe, eyes wide in astonishment and understanding. After much pleading on her end, he finally agreed to answer any questions she had about his class. Of course, he mandated that she asked only ten questions since this was basically cheating but she explained that she was a student seeking guidance from her professor. He wouldn't have it.She shifted on his lap, pointing at the word her circled, "So they're similar yet different?"His head bobbed again and he pressed a small kiss on the space between her neck and shoulder. "Yes, but that confuses most people who see these two situations as distinct.""Oh," He hummed, pressing another kiss on her skin and she giggled. "That tickles!""Is that so?" He tightened his hold around her, kissing her over and over. Maya screeched loudly, trying desperately to squirm out of his arms

"Hey!"Maya slid into the space beside him, offering the brunette a soft smile. Derek returned the gesture by nodding once, shifting so she could sit comfortably. "Hey," He greeted back. That was when Maya noticed they were matching, he had on a blue collared-neck shirt and dark jeans while she was wearing a similar-coloured tank top with a black flannel."We're matching," She informed him and his eyes when he noticed it too. She chuckled softly at the stunned look on his face.The library was fairly busy today, more students were hanging around the building and it didn't come as a shock, everyone was serious when it came to their exams. Derek had texted her a little while ago, asking to see her in the library. At first, she found the request strange but agreed later on. "So, um," She cleared her throat awkwardly, placing her purse on top of the reading table. "How have you been?" He arched a brow at the question making heat creep to her face, "Sorry, that was a stupid question.""N
The Professor Chapter 61
Maya shoved more popcorn into her mouth, chuckling along with the characters on the TV screen. Gabrielle plopped down on the couch beside her, watching her quietly,"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Gab asked, peering at her through narrowed eyes, "It's past six." Maya's head swiveled in her direction, mouth filled with the buttery snack, "What?" A few of the crumbs went flying out of her mouth making Gab grimace in disgust before throwing her a pillow. "Ouch!" She yelled when the fluffy cushion hit her smack in the nose. "What was that for?" She rubbed the sore spot with the heel of her palm.Gab lifted a shoulder carelessly, "Maybe next time you should fucking close your mouth when chewing." She scoffed and Gab snickered, "But seriously, shouldn't you be dressing up or something."Maya sighed, returning her gaze to the screen. She'd been watching reruns of Grey's Anatomy and stuffing her face with loads of popcorn. Alex hadn't called or texted her all morning and she was starting
