Forbidden Petals

Chapter 4: Mr. Morris

The bright morning sun had not even broken the horizon yet again. What little light there was flooded my room in a sort of dull blue light through the barely see through curtains that hung over the window. My eyes were glued to the ceiling, awake, waiting till that damned alarm clock went off again once more.

Sleep barley happened any to me that night, my mind was clouded with the events from earlier. How could it be that not even one day had passed since I met the man that pretty much plummeted my world into one of confusion and chaos? No doubt about it, not like the rest of the teachers who taught at the college, he most definitely was one of the better looking ones. His piercing blue-green eyes, and that cocky smile Mr. Hiddleston...No Tom, gave me when he revealed his trickery was embedded in my mind. Something that even the strongest of women could not shake away or forget.

Also what about my date. I was going on date with a teacher, a man who was older than me, and was surely far more educated, especially with to be teaching a class such as Literature.

"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!"

The clock went off, I jumped with the sudden break of silence, sitting up and watching as Cameron sat up turning the clock off, yawing and stretch. "Morning Nicole." She smacked her lips, rubbing her eyes, then looking at me. "Sleep well?"

"I wished." I huffed back, "Too much on my mind." sighing I fell back down onto my pillow, my gaze right back to the spackled ceiling above me.

"Just what happened to you yesterday?" Cameron's face that was usually perky, had a sincere look of concern on it.

"It was nothing."

"Nothing doesn't look like one who has extreme anger issues with their pillow, and then crashes for a nap to not only sleep through the night." stated Cameron, "What's wrong?"

I sigh. "Well, Its a guy." I started slowly, "A man."

"Oh." she said swinging her feet off the bed side, "I see. Well I'm all ears if you want to tell."

"Well long story short I can't say who, but I crashed into this guy by accident yesterday at breakfast, I met him at lunch and at the cafe before class, and things happened and he asked me out on a date to a fancy restaurant tonight."

"Well thats wonderful!" stated Cameron, "I mean its not often you get to go out on a date especially with a man you just met."

"Well thats the thing though, although I'm going, I just feel weird about doing so." I take a deep breath and release it, "I'm just scared half to death something will go wrong."

Cameron stood and walked over towards me and put her hand on my shoulder, "Don't fret over things like that or something bad will happen. Just go with the flow, and enjoy yourself. Besides, being single sucks."

"Oh no no... We aren't together, we are just going on a date. No that wouldn't even be a thing to cross my mind. At least not now." I say shaking my head.

"And why not? I mean he is treating you to a fine dinner, free of charge, he seems like from the way you talk, a higher up gentleman, whom in this day and age is really hard to find." Cameron walks towards the entrance door of the room, "I'd keep this one in your life, and DON'T let him go."

She then walks out.

So much for that conversation.

"So do you want some coffee?" Cameron called out.

"No thank you, I'll get mine in the cafeteria."

I quickly bathed, with a pair of shorts and t-shirt and made my way out of the dorm rooms with a notebook and pencil in hand off toward the cafeteria . I only had two classes today, which the last one was done by lunch time on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Which they were fairly easy, since they were more or less electives. At 7:00am for 2 hours I had my physical class. Walking, Exercise etc... A girl had to keep in shape some how. Also there was my Creative writing class from 9:30 am till 11:30 am. Which I had 30 mins to spare before lunch.
