"Do you have any idea what you are doing?" Leon asks me as if I am still a kid who is unsure of herself. This makes me so angry immediately even though I want him.
"Forget about it. I don't know what I want. I am still a kid, right? What do you take me for, Leon? Are you going to kiss me?" I ask staring into his eyes to try and read his mind. He was so unpredictable and cold hearted. I had no idea what his answer was going to be.
"I want to. But not here" Leon said as he turns his gaze away switching the car on.
The entire ride throughout gives me anxiety. I didn't know my fate and I was in a car with my professor heading to an unknown destination. Was he taking me back to his house? Or was he going to drop me back at the college dorm so I could rest my leg? Although that was highly unlikely, I knew he could do it.
"Where are we going? Don't you think you should tell me? I'm feeling sort of nervous." I say looking at him as he steps on the accelerator.
"Don't ask. Didn't you say you wanted me to kiss you?" Leon asks looking at me as if he wanting me to reconfirm my decision.
I wanted it. I wanted it so bad that it felt like a sin. I was secretly seeing my professor. The consequences were huge and it should be enough to stop me but yet it felt exciting. I wasn't going to regret it. I still had a mission to do.
"Yes."
Few minutes later, we drive into an empty field near the river. The place looks quiet and empty with little lights shining from the nearby houses. There was no way we were going to be seen but still,
"This place. Where-" I ask but stop immediately as my mouth gets covered with Leon's own.
The kiss is entirely different this time. Unlike before he was confidently kiss me. Allowing his mouth to seek mine. He was a lot different than his nephew, Tyler for sure. He wasn't sweet talking me or deceiving. He was letting me know it was my decision. Ravishing each other, I place my hand on his shoulders suddenly wanting to feel his body but he stops me from tugging on his shirt.
" I need my shirt to drive you back." Leon whispers in a dark sexy voice making me stunned.
How can someone be this sexy?
"Do you really need it?" I ask looking at him and our gaze suddenly meet each other.
I was stating my demands. In the past, I had been too shy. I wanted to please Tyler so I had been careful around him. It wasn't like that this time. Watching Leon stare at me, I spot him unbuckling his seat belt before he starts undoing his buttons.
(Ring!!!!)
Spotting the caller name on his phone, I gasp on shock while he grabs the phone from his side.
"Hello mom. What did you say? You are where?" He asked with a serious expression on his face.
Hanging up a few seconds later, Leon starts buttoning his shirt again making me a little bit disappointed. But that wasn't the problem.
" Who was that? Your mom? Did something happen?" I ask staring at him in hopes that he would tell me something but I was wrong.
"I will take you back your dorm. I might not be able to enter the gate but I will drop you somewhere close." He says reaching over to me to help me secure my seatbelt before doing the same.
It was something I had noticed. He never drove without securing his seatbelt.
" So you aren't going to tell me? Just nice." I say as he starts the car.
Arriving at the dorm gate, I come down from his car without being asked to. The ride to my dorm was different from when we had headed to the park. I was extremely angry at him for being so secretive even though I knew I didn't have any right. I wasn't his girlfriend. I was just a poor victim that he was helping. He didn't owe me anything but he was helping me with Tyler. I know I shouldn't jump faster than I walk.
"Good night." Leon said but I walk off heading inside.
Heading to my room, I open the door to see my roommates all staring at me. Had they seen Leon? The expression on their faces have me second guessing myself immediately as I don't want to be caught at all.
"What? What's up with the faces?" I ask heading over to my bed to lie down but the girls just won't let me rest.
"We saw you, Ruby. Who is it? It can't be a guy from our school, right? Or is it? We are in our first semester, how could you get a boyfriend so soon?" Kylie asks looking shocked as she stares at Jessica and Helen.
" Do you think she's like you? She's practically the hottest girl at school. I am sure many guys are lining up to take her out on several dates. I hear that there is a guy who is admiring her now. He posts some of her pictures on i********: everyday with heartfelt poems." Jessica said catching my attention.
" Posts my picture? That's creepy. Do you know who it is?" I ask staring at them but instead they shake their heads looking at me.
" Don't you know what a secret admirer means? He must be too shy to let anyone know who he is." Jessica says giggling like a teenager.
" Still, you should be careful though. It's okay to have a secret admirer but some of them often start to go crazy over you. Not really a good thing, I would say." Helen says catching my attention.
" You are not romantic at all. Do you think everyone wants to harm someone? He writes love poems. He isn't claiming her as his. You overreact too much, Helen." Jessica says before shaking her head at Helen.
" Enough. I am tired. We have class tomorrow. All of you should go to bed. I will do the same. I've had a rough day." I say lying down on my bed while they all leave me.
Staring at my phone, I decide to check on my secret admirer based on the information they gave me. Just as they had said, he had all my pictures posted on his page. Did that make sense? Scrolling down, I see a lot of comments and likes. In the past I wouldn't have gotten so many praises based on how I looked but now I was getting them.
Leon: Are you asleep? Tomorrow is your first test. Make sure you sleep early tonight.
Spotting Leon's text, I look over to my roommates who all have their lights on. Where they reading? Glancing down at my phone, I suddenly remember what he had said in class last. A small test. We were going to have a small test and I had not yet prepared for it. Closing my eyes, I give myself a mental kick before I lie down reaching for my pillow. Tomorrow was definitely going to take care of itself.
