He closed his eyes and sighed. I looked down at his crotch and he was ha*dening. I wondered what sucking him off would be like.
This was going to be a ha*d
trip for him.
One hour later we stopped at a breakfast restaurant. Mr. Reynolds ran away to the other professor as fast as he could. I stopped teasing and texting him but I knew he lost focus when he kept re-reading the same page in his book over and over again.
I walked with Charlotte and Penelope to our seats. I ordered a sandwich, Charlotte a muffin and latte while Penelope had only black coffee. No wonder she stayed so slender.
“So, how’s it going with Isaac?” Penelope asked. I didn’t want to hear about it but I guess I didn’t want my friend bothered by that shithead.
Char hesitated. We eyed her suspiciously. “He didn’t talk to me.”
I didn’t doubt it but Penelope did, because she was closer to them than me. I also was very occupied. I stole a quick glance at my professor sitting with that stupid Amelia. Laughing again. Next time I won’t stop teasing him.
“You sure? I am certain I saw him talking to you. And you smiled.”
“He just made a joke about professor Reynolds, okay? I found it funny. Is that a crime?”
“What’d he say?” I asked. I should have been less obvious.
“I don’t know… something about his clothes looking stupid.”
“Ha,” I chuckled sarcastic. “Sure, he’s the one to speak with those skinny jeans.”
Penelope eyed me. I repeat, I should have been less obvious.
Speaking of the devil, Isaac sat next to us. I was shocked but my shock dissipated when I realized Seb wasn’t here. All that was holding him back from annoying me was my boyfriend. I was unprotected now.
He luckily picked the seat next to Charlotte, but he was facing me directly.
“You look nice, Nadia,” he said. I felt like puking.
“Leave,” I spat through my teeth and Penelope supported me.
“I am sitting with my classmates, what’s the problem?”
“The problem is that no one wants you here,” Penelope said acidly.
“Oh, you little fox. You are kinda s*xy when you raise your tone,” he spoke to my brunette friend.
She puffed. “I’ll be ‘kinda’ s*xy when I’ll kick you in the balls.”
“Ouch. Maybe I’d enjoy that.”
“You are pathetic,” I said as I looked down at my food.
Suddenly he slammed the table, taking me by surprise. I looked at him in shock. He didn’t care about all the people here. He quietly calmed down and acted like nothing happened. No one saw him. They heard it but they quickly forgot. Only my history professor kept looking at me.
Isaac’s voice was low. “wh*re.” He left.
I stood up after five minutes of everyone calming down and finishing my sandwich, and went to the bathroom. I splashed my face with water and looked at my skin. I got a pimple on my chin and I had dark circles.
There was a soft knock on the door.
I replied, “occupied.” Thinking it was just someone trying to use the bathroom. I spent too much time here anyway. I opened the door and found Mr. Reynolds in front of me.
He pushed me inside the bathroom and locked the door.
“What are you doing?”
“I want to talk to you. I didn’t want anyone to see us. I waited a little before coming here.”
“It’s the women’s bathroom. I doubt they didn’t notice.”
He sighed as if I was the one driving him crazy, maybe I was, but it was mutual.
“You didn’t seem to want to talk to me before,” I pointed out as I played with the side of my shirt.
“I don’t anyone to suspect a thing.”
“Suspect what?” I played innocent as my fingers ran across his forearm, up. “There is nothing going on, right?”
He nodded as I kept caressing his arm, now going down to his hand. I grabbed it and held it for a few moments but it felt more intimate than I anticipated. I couldn’t stand being vulnerable so I moved to s*xier parts, like his belt.
Mr. Reynolds put his hand over mine, stopping me. But I noticed when he looked at my lips hurriedly.
“You want to kiss me so bad,” I chuckled and spoke too loudly. He covered my mouth and my body pr**sed against the wall. He was so close to my mouth.
“Be quiet, Nadia.” He let go of me and I straightened up. “I came here to ask you if Isaac is causing problems.”
I shrugged. “Same old shit. It’s easier for him now that I’m alone.”
“You’re not alone.” His gaze was intense.
I looked away. “I am alone wherever I go.”
Maybe that was too vulnerable. I shouldn’t have said it.
He grabbed my face and made me look at him. “If he ever touches a strand of your hair again, I’ll f**king kill him,” he said with such determination I couldn’t help but feel my legs melting and falling into his arms, but of course I stayed strong.
I’ve never heard him so preoccupied for me. It was endearing.
Mr. Reynolds let go of my face and I felt a sudden cold air hit my skin. Liking him was painful. Not having him was killing me.
Sometimes I felt like he could read my thoughts. He didn’t add another word so I unlocked the door and left first.
When I went back to the table, there was no one there. The whole restaurant was empty. I a**umed they just went outside and were prepared to go.
I came right when Ms. Fitzgerald was calling my name. “Hurry, miss Prescott, we don’t have all day.” I sat in my seat as I heard her rambling.
“And where is Mr. Reynolds?” she asked a few students and then ultimately me. He was for sure taking a long time to come out of that women’s bathroom. Maybe he was wanking.
I laughed at my silly thought.
“Didn’t see him,” I said nonchalantly.
Right then, he came out of the restaurant and walked to the bus. He talked a little to Amelia before coming to my seat.
I felt his gaze on me a few times but I didn’t look at him. He picked another book from his backpack and I was surprised at how many books he brought with him.
“Such an intellectual,” I laughed. The students on the other row heard me and were looking at us. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that to my professor. It was too casual. Those tiny details add up and one day they will have suspicions about us… unless I just ignore him forever.
“If you read more, you would have written a better essay,” he said, in the same tone I used.
“Ouch. My essay wasn’t good?”
“Acceptable.”
