Damon Valentino~•~I was quite worried. I hadn’t seen Dahlia in more than a week which meant she had missed my class twice. I understood that she wanted to avoid me now that we were broken up but it was going to take a toll on her studies if she didn’t attend the classes.I’d canceled the first one but I couldn’t cancel the second one as I didn’t want to deprive the rest of my students of the knowledge they should have for their upcoming exams.There was also the fact that someone had conveniently started a rumor about Dahlia and I after Thanksgiving break. I had a feeling it was Roman as he couldn’t do anything other than that because of his cleared phone.I wondered if Dahlia had heard about it. It didn’t bother me much as I’d never been the kind to care about what people said about me, especially if they couldn’t say it when I was present.It was Wednesday and I knew Dahlia didn’t have a class but I missed her a lot. When I was done with my class, I was very tempted to go to the c

Dahlia Carrington ~•~According to my psychology lecturer, there were five stages of breakups; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.In my case, I was going backward. I’d first accepted the fact that Damon and I couldn’t be together before I fell into depression. I was angry currently which was making me snap easily, especially after I got that mail from the dean telling me to visit his office at half past twelve.I felt slightly bad for talking harshly to Damon earlier but being nice to him was only going to make things harder on us. Besides, there were eyes on us and I wouldn’t put it past a student to take a picture of both of us in the classroom to add to their list of growing pieces of evidence.I was more than ready to deny all the allegations. It didn’t matter that I was lying. No one was perfect anyway.I sat on the bench in the assistant’s office as I waited to be called in. I heard footsteps and I looked up just in time to see Damon pause in front of me. In

Dahlia Carrington~•~I was a damn fool.I wasn’t thinking straight. I wasn’t sure I’d been thinking at all when I decided to kiss Damon.My college was in the middle of an investigation and there I was, swapping spit with the same man I claimed not to have anything with just minutes ago.I didn’t even know how to feel about it. It was evident I still liked and wanted Damon. I was not ready to give him up, especially after what just happened. It proved how weak I was for him. However, there was the fact that when I told Damon nothing had changed, he was quick to agree.It had me thinking things I shouldn’t be thinking. I was beginning to wonder if he was fine with the break-up and if he wanted us to stay apart. Sure he had told me he didn’t want us to stay apart but what if that was just for the sex? Besides, he’d been eager to fuck me even after finding out I was his student.I closed my eyes tightly, leaning back in the backseat of the cab I had boarded home. I was being harsh on hi

Dahlia Carrington~•~Monday came faster than I’d like. It was my first final exam for the semester and I was very nervous about it. I was confident I was prepared but that didn’t stop the feeling of anxiousness as I walked into the building where I’d be writing the first paper.I was like two hours early, not wanting to take any chances. Clementine and Aurelie had laughed at me for leaving so early but I was too nervous to care about their mockery.I took a deep breath and brought out my journal from my book bag. It was where I’d written down everything I revised. I wanted to go through them again. I went to turn the corner, only to bump into a figure that had me stumbling back.The person took the liberty of dragging me forward and pinning me to the wall. My eyes widened when I realized it was Roman. There weren’t many people in school by this time so the hallway was basically empty.“What are you doing?” I was irritated as I pushed him away from me.“Don’t be so harsh. I just wanted

Dahlia Carrington ~•~I didn’t see Damon after our encounter in his office, where he had told me to wait for four years for him. I knew it was going to be extremely hard and I didn’t know what I would do if he found someone else along the line but I was going to give it a shot. It was my fault for falling for a man ten years older than me, who happened to be my professor.However, not seeing him wasn’t part of the plan. On the day of his exam, he didn’t even come to supervise it nor was he in his office when I went to check. The office had been empty when I went to check, as though no one occupied it anymore.It worried me and I was tempted to go to his place and look for him, but I decided not to. I had promised him I would wait for him. Going to his home would only ruin that.“Are you sure you don’t want us to see you off?” I asked Prisha. Our holiday only lasted three weeks, but she was going back to India to spend it with her family. Clementine lived in the city so she had gone a
