"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

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
