only yours[ᵒⁿ ʰᵒˡᵈ]

chapter 16

"SHIT!" I trip over my own feet. The two of us are scrambling around seen as it's 7:55am and class starts at 8:15. It's a ten minutes drive. I'm panicking, I mean he's the teacher so I won't get in trouble, well if he will punish me again then I'll gladly get into trouble.

Luckily I brought an overnight bag with an outfit for the next day, a pair of straight leg jeans and a black lulu lemon cropped closets top. I did bring a coat, my cream puffer jacket and my converse are by the door. Aaron is dressed in an all-black suit, shocker. He heard me talking about how much I like him in all black so he took that into his huge ego.

"Cilia, you ready?" He asks me as he stands by the door holding it open for me, I nod and quickly slide into my shoes which have me groaning with stress, "calm down." I look at him with a scowl and he immediately returns his words.

"I can't believe we forgot to set an alarm," I complain as I walk over to my car keys in hand. Wow, my car looks so cheap compared to his. I realise that if we get to class I'm going to have to walk in later since Aly knows I spent the night at a guys.

"Aaron, I'll have to come into the class ten minutes after. It'll be suspicious and you know how Alyssa is like—she's smart!" He laughs when I rant about my worries. He's sat in his car with the window rolled down as I stand outside mine.

"Well if you don't want me to punish you Cil, get your ass in that car and go." He teases as he starts up the engine. I stand still crossing arms and locking my car, his teasing disappears in a matter of seconds and desire fills his eyes, "you naughty girl." He tuts at me.

"I'll be sure to be way later to class Professor," I wave him off as he pulls away from his garage. I sigh with content as I drive off the sidewalk and on the way to college.

"IM SO SORRY, professor!" I walk into the class 25 minutes late. He looks over at me as I stumble through the doors, as does everyone else. I shrink behind their gaze and make my way to the back of the room, sitting next to my roommate who looks at me with an inquisitive look. 

"Don't be late again, Ms Eros." My friends eyes widen even more than before at the fact he doesn't lecture me worse. I shrug and place my bag down, out of breath I begin to follow what he's saying at the front.

"Where were you?" Alyssa whispers to me.

"I was..you know. At his house, forgot to set an alarm. Silly me." I let out an awkward chuckle and scratch the back of my neck, her head could've snapped the way she looked at me.

"Staying the night again? How serious is this, are you dating or just fucking?" She says, a little louder than I would've liked. I shush her with an annoyed look.

"We're not official," I shrug whilst typing down notes what Professor Wade is writing on the chalkboard, "I would like to be with him, but you know." She frowns and shakes her head.

"Girl, if you want to be with him then ask him out. Don't wait for him to do it or he never will." She explains, my brows furrow. Really? Do I have to ask him out, my anxiety says no to that but I also don't want to wait for him to ask me out because what if he never does?

My breaths shorten as all the worst things picture in my mind—Alyssa looks at me with concern but I shake her off. Just as you know it the bell rings and the class is packing up hurriedly to leave. I frown, has it already been that long? I stand from my seat, swaying as I feel anxiety trap me in a bubble.

I reach the bottom of the stairs and Aaron walks up to Alyssa and I, "is everything okay here?" I guess he can see the fucking panic in my eyes and hear my heart contracting against my chest, "Alyssa may you step outside?" She complains.
