Princess Treatment

Damian Morozov

The film comes to an end and I can hear heavy breathing. I've never been an affectionate man but seeing Bella sleep on my chest peacefully makes my heart beat just that little bit faster. When she first placed her head there I tried playing it cool but I could see Alexander was looking at me smirking knowing the inner battle I was having. 

She looks perfect. The slow steady breaths, the hair falling over her face, the way she's spread herself over both Elijah and I. A painting speaks a thousand words but her presence silences them all. 

"What are you going to do?" Alexander has shifted his body giving all of his attention to the girl laying in front of him.

"Nothing. I will stay here until she wakes up and then take her home, unless Elijah here wants to end the torture he began?" With a mischievous smile I know that he'll do no such thing. 

"Oh but Damian I've already bonded with her quite a bit. I think you should take her home. Professor." He needs a good slap I swear to God. Inwardly rolling my eyes I rest my head on the back of the sofa just laying, waiting to take her home. 

Weight being lifted from my body I open my eyes and notice how dark everything looks and how quiet my house is. They left? I fell asleep? Huh?!

A hand pressing into my chest I see Annabelle rubbing her eyes oblivious to her surroundings. 

"Have a nice nap princess?" Her hands stop, slowing looking up at me and taking in the situation we are in. In no time at all she's off me standing awkwardly, clearly embarrassed. Whereas I'm now cold and severely missing her contact. 

"Professor! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to. Um, How long have I ...you know?" 

"I'm not sure, I also fell asleep so don't worry." Looking at my phone I see it's only midnight. "Come, I shall take you home it's not too late and we both have a class in the morning. Turns out I will be teaching you twice a week now." Nodding she kind of runs to the door putting her coat and shoes on as fast as she can. 

"Enjoyed our company that much you're running out the door?" 

"Oh no sir it's not that I'm just incredibly embarrassed. I had a great time but I blame Elijah for this. None of this would've happened if he hadn't brought me here. And I certainly wouldn't of slept on my law professor either." Walking toward her she starts taking steps back to the door, well, until they hit my door. Gripping her chin I tilt it upwards to see the hint of a blush. 

"Miss Winter, I don't recall complaining about it. Do you?" Jaw now wide she shakes her head before I laugh taking a step back and putting my Jacket on. 

"Lets go trouble, you'll be a zombie in the morning." Grabbing my car keys I fling the door open and take fast steps towards my baby ready to put the heater on for Annabelle. 

"Thank you Damian." My name sounds amazing coming from her mouth, so softly spoken. 

"Anytime Winter. Lets get you home."

Annabelle Winter

Waking up in my room, sunlight coming through the curtains I never closed. I'm immediately red in the face from yesterday's incident. Stupid, so stupid! Looking around for my phone I can't find it so settle for my laptop's clock. Shit I need to get up. Rushing round I wear whatever's clean and head out. 

Walking into my lecture room I'm grateful Damian made no more effort to make sure I stay home today. I wanted to come, it distracted me from everything else going on in my life at the moment. Looking at his desk he's already there preparing the powerpoint with papers in his bag spilling over the edges. Making eye contact I rush to sit down, thoughts of last night replaying in my mind constantly. 

"ANNA!" Finding Jakob staring at me with an angry glare.

"What happened to texts? Phone calls? I've been trying to reach you. God are you okay?" Feeling guilty I wave him over to explain.

"I'm sorry Jakob, I lost my phone. Did I miss anything super important?" 

"Thankfully no, but I asked you to message me remember?" Realisation hit me like a bus. "Oh my God I'm so sorry it just clean went from my head. I've been a little preoccupied recently." Hearing a scoff both Jakob and I look to see Damian smirking down at his desk. He looks up, the smirk now wiped from his face and his throat cleared. 

"Hello all, I can see some confused faces so I would like to clear it up" Settling into my seat I make sure to put my bag on the seat next to me for when Emma finally decides to show up. 

"Your timetabled professor has been involved in an accident and while she will make a full recovery it looks as though I will be taking the class for her this year. I apologise on behalf of the team for this change as I know it may make some of you uncomfortable. I used to be one who hated change, but I'm learning, just as you should, that it can be a good thing." As he finishes his mini speech he finds my gaze and we continue to stare at each other making me delusional to believe that the change he was referencing to is me. 

Nah, not me. Maybe he means his work schedule. Or better yet, I told him he needed to speak more the other day and he seems to be doing just that. Jakob starts to lean into me so I do the same knowing he wants to say something quietly. 

"Looks like he took note of your advice, Mr hot stuff as the hots for you. I'm placing a weeks worth of money on it." Chuckling shaking my head I don't bother responding to such idiotic words. Although, he's right. His name should be Mr. Hot stuff. His broad shoulders, the defined muscles even under a white shirt. Ugh!

Falling into my own world of make-belief I don't notice people starting to pack away until a voice that sends ever growing tingles down my spine speaks up. 

"Thank you all for today, have a good rest of your day." Instead of leaving as he did last time he hangs around cleaning up after himself. Just as I'm about to walk past him he steps into my line of vision separating me and Jakob. Jakob being completely insane just waves winking at me playfully.

Twat. 

"A word Miss Winter" Yup. My insides have turned to jelly. 

"What's wrong sir?" 

"I think I can help solve your issue." Frowning my eyebrows he continues pulling his hand out of his pocket. 

"A certain phone for a certain someone. This does belong to you Bella does it not? Or will I be having to send you to my disciplinary team for punishment of theft?" 

"Huh" Is he? No? Punishment? There's no personal disciplinary team? Could he mean the three of them? Nah. Get back in the room Anna. . .

"No sir, I assure you that it is my phone. But thank you for returning it to me so quickly." Taking it from his hands I go to walk past him when he stops me for a second time. seeing his hand go to tilt my chin up again I do it before he gets the chance. But still his hand follows, almost like a shadow. 

"Wait for me in my office, don't start thinking you've escaped all punishment princess. I saw you in your own world. For the whole of my lecture. I know I'm a good lecturer so was it the topic?" He starts stepping toward me but I make no move to go back. Not again. 

"Or are you tired Miss Winter? No need to tell me now, you'll have your chance. Now go. I expect you there when I walk in." Stepping back he moves to his desk and takes out the stack of papers from his bag.

Feeling like a dog to it's master I listen. No idea why I just do. I want to please him, I want to listen to him, even if that means my academic record is tarnished.
