Don't Deserve You (GxG)

One

Sometimes the happiest of smiles hide the most pain.

HER
"What do you mean your not gonna be home for dinner tonight?"

"The business trip is going longer then expected I promise we'll do something when I get back." The phone line was cut short as she ended the call before I could say more.

I pour myself a glass of wine and take a seat on the couch as the entire apartment was filled with complete silence once again.

The place that used to be filled with laughter and warmth, now felt cold and empty.

I was alone.

BLAKE
I sat in a cab watching as the city whipped past me in a blur. The smell of stale leather and cigarettes was all I could smell as I tried to ignore the stares the male driver had been giving me from the rear view mirror.

"You can pull over here." I mumble grabbing my bags from the trunk trying to put as much distance between me and the creep as possible before booking it down the street rather quickly.

I had pulled over a block earlier then where my apartment was but I didn't want to be in that car any longer so I'd rather walk.

My large suitcase wheels were noisy as they went over every crack and bump on the concrete sidewalk the longer I walked. Eventually making it to my apartment I typed in the code saying a quick "hello"to the desk worker and grabbing a fresh pair of house keys.

I rode the nicely polished elevator up to the fifth floor.

Walking the halls I found the sign reading 502 as I shoved the metal key in the lock and pushed open the door to my new apartment I'd be staying in.

I had just moved from Pennsylvania to New York, having gotten accepted into NYU this past summer. I wasn't exactly sad about having to leave my hometown behind considering I didn't have any family to say goodbye to. It was just me and that's how I liked it.

My alarm blared in my ears as my eyes squinted adjusting to the light beaming in through the curtains. I turned my head reading 6:45 on the digital clock before rolling out of bed and hopping in the shower.

First day of orientation was today and I couldn't be more nervous. Not only was I going to university at a new school but I was also a 19 year old now living by herself in the big city. Who thought this would be a good idea?

Random students began handing me brochures the further I walked along all the pop up stands. I had smiled and greeted the different club members as if I was planning on joining any of the ridiculous sounding cults that they were advertising. I'm just here to study and leave that's it. I'm not here to make friends or start a relationship or anything else that involves social interaction for longer than I have to.

I was trying to make my way through the fair as quick as possible however the universe had other ideas.

A loud thud was made as my shoulder collided with another person headed from my right. I was able to catch my balance however all the brochures and papers I had collected over the orientation were now displayed all over the floor, half of them blowing away in the wind.

"Oh my god I am so sorry." A feminine voice came out quickly and frantically as I could hear the worry in her words.

"Oh it's okay, I wasn't planning on reading any of those things anyways." I brushed some hair out of my face glancing over at the person I just collided with.

"That was completely my fault I was distracted and wasn't looking where I was going."

"Really it's okay" I chuckle. My eyes met with blue orbs that twinkled with green flakes when the light caught them a certain way. The woman was about an inch taller than me with creamy smooth skin and golden locks that surrounded her face. Her attractiveness made me very self conscious as my hair was pulled back in a messy bun and I was wearing an NYU oversized sweater. How could someone look so pretty and put together at the ass crack of dawn.

I cleared my throat realizing I had been silently gawking at her for too many seconds to be normal. But before I could say anything else she had spoken first. "We'll I better get going but I really am sorry for running into you."

"It's fine really, you have a nice rest of your day."

"Yeah you too" a small grin formed on her face causing two small dimples to show as she began walking away and out of sight.

She's cute.

Maybe NYU won't be so bad after all.

The next morning approached rather quickly and it was already my first day of actual classes. I was majoring in literature and social sciences, meaning the classes I was taking revolved around journalism, law and society.

I grabbed a cup of coffee on my way to school knowing I would need the extra boost of caffeine. Thankfully the school happened to be only a ten minute walk from my apartment coming in pretty handy considering I didn't have a car yet.

As I approached campus I had no idea what I was expecting university to be like. I knew the classes were a decent size which meant I would have no problem blending in with the crowd. However I was still anxious about the whole situation. Was I gonna enjoy the courses I'm taking? Or what about my professor's, we're they gonna be decent or just another stuck up bitch.

Millions of worries and constant thoughts tugged at my brain as my feet carried me through the halls and to my first class. Law and society was the only class I had today and I just hoped my first day would run smoothly without any hiccups.

The class had already begun filling in when I got there so I took the first available seat I could find. I was seated two rows from the back but closest to the end so I could get out quickly.

Glancing around near the front I realized the professor hadn't arrived yet making me feel relieved that I was early for once. I slung off my school bag resting it at my feet as I pulled out my laptop placing it on the wooden desk.

The room seemed to quiet down as the sound of heels clicking against the tile floor took over the room, the echo of them bouncing off the walls.

Without even looking up I knew my professor had to be a girl which made me a little more intrigued as to who I would have.

"Good morning class, I hope your all settling into your first day of university well." She began talking and my ears picked up a familiar feminine voice I could've sworn I had heard before. My eyes glanced up from my computer as I saw the blonde from yesterday talk smoothly and confidently near the front.

She was a professor? Let me correct myself, she was my professor?
