My Tainted Devil's Love

Chapter 6: Messing With My Thoughts

Adrian’s POV

She was a natural beauty that’s for sure. The dark brown hairs though smooth and shiny, were messy and unkempt but it appeared cool on her. Her eyebrows were thin and curved like classic and there was a black mole under her lower lip, enhancing her beauty.

To be honest, I never liked the moles but it wasn’t that high rise one which protrudes out. I prefer freckles or dimples and inspite of not having any of that, she was cute. Her oval face with pointed nose and thin pink-lips that were perfectly sculpted had my heart racing. Her doe-like brown eyes twinkled, drowning me in it. There was a tinge of innocence which made me itch to destroy it.

“Sari!” The other girl’s voice caught my attention and I mentally cursed myself.

I am a Professor and having such thoughts weren’t entertained neither in the college and nor in my own world.

Shaking my head in disappointment; I glared at the girl causing this nuisance. I despised her!

“Your turn, Miss.” I looked away in order to ease my racing heart but couldn’t help catch a glimpse of her.

Her lips quivered like she was about to cry and it irked me.

What can I expect from 20s or something kid? She indeed was a cry-baby.

“I-I am Sari Anderson. I want to be….” My attention was now on her.

Sari Anderson…

Her name was interesting but unlike her; and that surname reminds me I’ve heard it before.

If I ain't wrong, there’s Anderson family; the other well known firm in the business world.

I studied her but she doesn’t look like she belongs to that family. No way, she might be related to such a high class family.

Then again, she had paused and it made me wonder how this girl had managed to enter college when she acted like dumb and clumsy. She doesn’t even know what she wanted to become. Huh… maybe she is another of them who just enjoys their life and not serious about it.

There were laughter from others and it somehow irked me. She looked unfazed; maybe she is just habituated to it.

“I want to be a happy and content person in my life and my favorite subjects are biology and pharmacology.” That proud smile of hers made me stop for a second.

She looked tempting. She was carefree and that’s what attracted me but more than that, her answer made me speechless.

I’ve come across several answers since my age and none of them was this. Her answer was simple yet deep. She wanted to be content and happy… She surely made me speechless.

I was lost in my reverie amazed by this young woman. She must have decoded her life’s secret already. It wasn’t long when I heard another name and my focus changed from her to this girl, Amy…

The way ‘her’; Sari… looked dejected with jaw clenched and fallen face, I wonder what had happened to her.

After the intro, I was able to collect few names and began the class. It was like the other two and impressed students smiled at me, becoming active participants of the lecture… Well, except her!

But what could I ask from her? She is dumb, remember? It bothered me if she had some means to pass her exams or what? Out of habit, I kept glancing at her and saw her daydreaming again; agitating me.

She then licked her lips staring at me and f**k… it was a tease.

I had hard time to focus and determined to have a word with her later. I diverted my mind in teaching.

In the middle of it, I saw that girl; Amy was it? Pass something to Sari and she smiled at it. Her smile does something to me and I couldn’t help but point her out.

“Is there something funny here Miss…?” I asked.

Regardless of remembering her name I chose not to say it. Even the thought does something weird in my chest.

It was disrespect to me watching her day dream through the lecture and involved in other activities like what? Passing chits?

She was f*****g questioning my teaching style.

“N-No sir.” She answered biting her lip.

There it goes again…

The way she bit her lip and the sound of ‘sir’ irked me. It sounded seductive, maybe did it on purpose?

“Professor!” My sharp voice didn’t go unnoticed by me.

“Uh?” she looked confused.

Now I wonder whether it was sultry or not. So, giving her the benefit of doubt I decided to clear it.

“I said Professor and not sir.” It took all the nerves to appear calm.

I could see her glancing around feeling low. The others were enjoying the situation she was in and it made me rethink of my action.

“O-Okay!” she said almost in a whisper.

She sounded hurt but then she deserved it! Giving up, I proceeded with the class till the bell rang. Students flooded around me, passing me compliments while I saw her trying to escape as quickly as it was possible.

“Ms. Anderson, could you wait please.” I told her to stay because she needed to learn little basic-college’s code of conducts.

When it was only us left, I sat on a chair and prepared for the un-called class.

“Ms. Anderson, come here.” I hope I could keep a straight face this time.

It was hard for me to be alone with a nuisance brat who attended college just for fun. I have a deep passion for knowledge and I hate such kids. Considering myself as the Professor now, it becomes my duty to guide them and so here I was…

“Yes si- Professor.” Her gentle voice ruined this moment again.

I was trying my best to act normal and then she had to call Professor seductively! Is she trying to seduce me?

How dare she?

“Just… Mr. Martin!” I whisper yelled and saw her look scared.

Restraining the urge to throw her away, I carried on the task of making her understand.

“Look Ms. Anderson, you were day dreaming in my class and it was highly unacceptable! I thought I already told you that so you have detention tomorrow.”

“B-But you didn’t tell that beforehand, you said you are strict with the completion and timely submission of the assignments. I think it is unfair Mr. Martin.” She retorted.

My eyes widened. Even she dared to pronounce my name in seductive manner. I must admit I never appreciated it but hearing it come from her mouth made it sound exotic. I tried to call it the same way in my head but I am sure it couldn’t compete with hers but then again, she tried to defy me?

Now I was sure, she does it on purpose and maybe this is the way she is able to pass her exams but little brat is in for surprise. Her dirty moves won’t work on me, HA!

“Just… Just don’t call me Mr. Martin!” I shouted.

After few moment of silence, I heard her mutter ‘Okay’ as she rushed out in a hurry.

Maybe she couldn’t take her defeat. Huh!

I was now heading to my office as I grabbed my things and emailed my staff reviewing their work on my smartphone. Making sure, everything was locked, I now turned to leave.

The director approached me and was impressed with the feedback he received from the students under my name. Thanking him to offer me this job and accepting my conditions, I went out to the parking lot.

From afar, I saw Sari being pulled by two hefty men and from the clothes it was no surprise that they were someone’s bodyguard.

But ‘whose’ was the question.

The way she tried avoiding them; it was evident that they weren’t hers. I watched as they took her along with them and suddenly wondered if she was in trouble?

Who was she giving tough time?

A part of me nagged to help her but a stubborn side refused.

Why should I anyway? I wasn’t here to find troubles for me, that too for others’ mistake.

So, I shrugged and headed towards my apartment.

On the way, I picked up a beautiful gown for Pam. Inspite of her ignorance towards my dream, I chose to gift her something to brighten her mood. I was sure she is still mad at me.

Like I said, when she opened the door she was stunned for a minute and moved aside to let me in. I turned and grabbed her into me. All the s****l tension I faced today was enough to make me vent it out on her.

“Hey!” she squealed in surprise.

“I’ve got something for you babe but before that, why don’t you give me something that you definitely can as gratitude?” I said seductively nibbling her ear.

She laughed and tried to push me but I was quick and claimed her lips.

‘Her’ thin and pink lips flashed in my mind, making me still for a second. I pulled back and watched Pam in confusion. I never paid much attention but her lips appeared… weird?

Dammit! I would be going to hell for thinking like this.
