“I’ve,” she says, tossing her lengthy hair over her shoulder. “Not that I take into consideration them an excessive amount of. I don’t have quite a lot of curiosity in them. They’re so immature. It’s why I’m nonetheless single.”

“You’re not seeing anybody?” I ask, hoping I come off as curious as an alternative of excited. I all the time assumed a candy, sensible, stunning lady like her could be taken. She’s irresistible.

“No,” she says. She leans ahead a bit, shrugging her shoulders so I can see the best way her breasts are snuggled tight in opposition to one another. Is she pushing them out like that for my profit? “I’ve tried earlier than, but it surely simply appears so pointless proper now. None of them are price speaking to.”

“Oh?”

She shakes her head. “You’re totally different, although. I all the time like speaking to you.”

A sort phrase from her makes me really feel totally invincible. How does she all the time do this?

“I like speaking to you too,” I say. I shove my palms into my pockets to forestall myself from giving in to the overwhelming urge to the touch her. “And if it makes you’re feeling any higher, I really feel the identical method about girls.”

“Actually? That’s good to know,” she says as she appears to be like at me by lengthy lashes. The cherry on prime comes when she bats them at me after.

My breath catches in my throat. She’s all the time been flirtatious with me, however that is the primary time I’ve thought of that she actually means it. If I’m not mistaken, she’s into me, too. Apparently, the crush I’ve developed on her isn’t as creepy as I feared. My borderline stalking, properly… that’s a special story.

After a beat, Emily says, “I ought to get going. I need to get an inventory collectively earlier than I see you tomorrow.”

“At all times so proactive,” I say affectionately. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” she says as she hops to her toes with somewhat bounce. “See you tomorrow, professor.”

As quickly as she leaves the classroom, I discover myself lacking her. Simply the suggestion of Emily being concerned with me the identical method morphs my curiosity in her into obsession.

I’ve sat in on her courses loads of occasions. I really like the little glimpses it provides me into her thoughts – plus, it soothes my ego to see her converse to her different professors with such indifferent professionalism.

However now, it doesn’t really feel like sufficient. I’ve seen Emily the coed all semester. Now, I need to know Emily the lady. I need to know the place she goes, what she does, who she hangs out with… and if she appears to be like at anybody else the best way she does at me.

For the primary time ever, I take into consideration performing on the impulse to comply with her to see what she does together with her free time between courses.

Chapter 2

Emily

All semester lengthy, I’ve thought of going to Dr. Flemming’s workplace hours, however I’ve by no means had something to debate. As quickly as I noticed him on the primary day of sophistication, I used to be immediately enamored with him. He’s precisely my sort – tall and slim, a shock of jet-black hair, and a pair of brilliant blue eyes. Though I do know it’s as a result of he has a gown code to stick to, he’s all the time so put collectively together with his pressed long-sleeve button-ups that he cuffs midway up his forearm, tucking them into gown pants that cling to his ass and depart nothing to the creativeness.

I spend each considered one of his courses attempting to give you a motive to remain after everybody leaves. There’s one thing about the best way he handles himself that pulls me to him inexplicably. He’s so keen about literature, and I discover myself hanging onto each phrase he says. He’s so totally different from different guys: sensible, light, and critical.

I’ve gotten into the behavior of coming ready with one thing insightful to say in regards to the materials we’re discussing in hopes of impressing him. My associates suppose I’m anxious about my grade with how onerous I strive, however that couldn’t be farther from the reality. My grade is already good. I simply need him to suppose I’m good, too.

Boys my age all suppose I’m a prude. In highschool, my chilly angle earned me the nickname Elsa. However simply being close to Dr. Flemming units me on hearth. I can’t appear to assist myself round him. Only one look from these icy blue eyes, and I begin throwing myself at him. One thing about him, how sturdy he’s and the way protected he makes me really feel, turns me from a dateless virgin right into a wannabe slut.

Yesterday, I got here to him pretending I didn’t know what e book I needed to do my assessment on. In actuality, I’ve recognized I’ll be writing about Maintain the Aspidistra Flying because the second week of sophistication. I figured we’d have an mental dialog about George Orwell’s works, and I’d finish it by telling him which method I used to be leaning. I wasn’t anticipating him to inform me to come back to workplace hours.

Now, I’m standing in entrance of his closed workplace door with my palms sweating. I do know there isn’t any motive for me to be nervous; that is nothing greater than an educational assembly, however I can’t cease fascinated by what he mentioned yesterday. It appeared like he was flirting again. Is my curiosity in him reciprocated?

Shaking that thought out of my head, I knock on the door thrice in fast succession. After three seconds, he tells me to come back in. I take a deep breath, then I step inside.

“Emily,” he says kindly, giving me a smile that warms me from the within out. “It’s good to see you on a Tuesday.”

“It’s good to see you too, Dr. Flemming,” I say as I shut the door behind me and settle into the comfy armchair reverse him. I let my already-short skirt trip up increased on my thighs, hoping that he’ll look.

He does, and it sends a thrill by me. “Please,” he says, putting an arm on his desk, “name me Cooper. We aren’t at school.”

“Okay, Cooper,” I say with a smile, feeling giddy in regards to the new informality.

“A lot better,” he replies, that good-looking smile rising bigger. “So, inform me the place your thoughts is. Which books are you drawn to?”
