Jessica doesn't trust men. Worse, she has a string of short relationships and runs away when things get too serious. Demons from her past resurface when she meets him, Angel Seth Saint, her new teacher with a burning look. And, even if the young wom...

"Aren't you going to answer?"
"No, I let go curtly."
I delete the notification and order the pizza. Charly stares at me but doesn't dare to speak. I go to open the door to the delivery man when he rings, get the food and we eat in silence. It's weird for two people like us but it's better not to break it. Charly might talk to me about Angel again.
I prefer to forget him and enjoy my evening. At least, that's what I make believe. Because, as soon as I finish, I lock myself in the bathroom. Charly and I sleep in the same room, except when he has a booty call. Then I leave it to him and move temporarily to the living room. So the shower is the only discreet place. But to be sure, I stick to the door and slide on the floor. I accept the request and a message appears automatically.
Seth
Good evening princess.
He thinks it's normal to send messages to his student in the middle of the night? Because I don't. I knew there was something weird about this teacher the moment my eyes fell on his polar pupils. You don't do that to me. I can see the desire in a man's eyes from a mile away. And, him, I knew he was a real womanizer with his half-smile and excessive kindness. I don't have time for him. I won't even pretend to enjoy his company.
He may even be a stalker, who knows? After all, he stares at me strangely, barges into my workplace and sexually assaults me. I haven't consented to any of his caresses and certainly not to his touching my lips. Seth must be one of those men who think they own the world. They take what they want, when they want it. And they don't hesitate to use violence to get it. This kind of man I hate, I don't want to see anymore. My phone rings again. He must be getting impatient.
Seth
I'm sorry.
Jessica
Why?
Seth
For not asking your consent to call you "princess." And...my behavior at the bookstore. I can be a jerk sometimes.
Words fail me. He's not as selfish and full of himself as I thought. He's good at second-guessing himself and apologizing. Definitely deserves a second chance.
Jessica
Oh. I like that nickname. Keep it. I don't blame you.
Seth
Thanks . I don't usually do this. I always ask for consent. I may be 30, but I'm still a kid.
Jessica
30?! I'm 21. At your age, I hope I don't have so much problems.
Seth
21 ?! When I was your age, I was clubbing all the time. Which problems?
