Hurrying toward the Botany classroom, I inadvertently collided with what felt like a solid wall—or rather, a rock-hard chest.
"Whoa there! Watch your step," the wall quipped.
Looking up, I found myself face to face with the guy sporting the most captivating amber eyes I'd ever seen. In that moment, I lost both my words and my ability to breathe. His sharp jawline, perfectly trimmed beard, olive complexion, and tousled brown hair, coupled with his impressive physique—broad shoulders and defined biceps straining against his snug black t-shirt—rendered me speechless.
I felt my cheeks flush as I gasped, momentarily frozen under his gaze. With a smirk, he gently nudged me forward, sending a surge of electricity coursing through me.
Regaining my composure, I stammered out an apology and hurried away, biting my lower lip in an attempt to regain focus on finding my next class. I needed to get a grip; I couldn't afford to develop a crush on him or anyone else. It was time to buckle down and focus on my studies, no distractions allowed. Period.
Two minutes later, there he was, unmistakably in my class. Please, just let the ground swallow me whole now. He caught sight of my flushed face and his lips quirked up slightly—a clear sign that he was enjoying my discomfort. What an asshole. I silently wished for the floor to open up and swallow me whole; at least it would offer a quick escape.
"Are you following me? Are you my new stalker? You know, you could just apologize instead of bolting away and then stalking me later on," he teased, closing the distance between us.
The audacity. Such a jerk egomaniac, just as Val had described. Too handsome to not be a dick.
"As if. You should be the one apologizing; I almost tripped over. No stalker here, just happen to be in the same class as you. Don’t get too excited," I shot back, rolling my eyes and surprising myself with the sassy retort. The embarrassment had been replaced by stubbornness, at least. And thankfully, my body had stopped betraying me; the flush had disappeared.
Seems like I've pissed him off. Not used to hearing a "no," huh? He's fuming! Whatever, I don’t need another psycho's attention. Had enough.
"Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that?" he growled, his voice dropping to a low, threatening tone that sent shivers down my spine—though I wasn't sure if they were from fear or something else entirely.
"Excuse me?" I retorted, internally reminding myself to stay calm and composed. Breathe, Alice, in and out. Don’t let this unbelievably handsome guy become the next regret of the year.
"Apologize. Now," he , compleately closing the distance between us in a couple of steps..
"In another life, dude. See ya," I shot back, feeling a surge of satisfaction as I managed to hold my ground. With him towering over me, almost a head taller and looking like he could easily reach 6.5 feet, clenching his fists and his amber eyes boring into mine, I took a step forward and briskly made my way to a seat as far away from the source of embarrassment as possible. Yet, the uncomfortable sensation of being watched lingered throughout the entire class.
