close to my dialling heart

13🌹a night at Xavier's

XAVIER 🥀

I explained a few concepts to her, and I was impressed by her quick understanding. No wonder she was a straight-A student - her intelligence was evident. I didn't ask how I knew; sometimes, you just sense these things. I gave her a problem to solve while I worked on some neglected documents, which had been pushed aside for more pressing commissions.

As I glanced outside, I noticed the clouds darkening, with an ominous hint of thunder rumbling in the distance. A flash of lightning illuminated the shadowy clouds, and the sun was nowhere to be seen, replaced by an eerie darkness that engulfed the entire sky. A storm was brewing, and it wasn't long before a light drizzle turned into a steady rain. I turned my attention to Dove, who remained focused on the questions, her concentration unwavering.

I'll be blunt - Dove was unparalleled. However, I sensed she harbored a dark secret. I've always been able to read people like an open book, and her silence spoke volumes.

A part of me was eager to uncover what she kept hidden. Fear seemed to grip her, causing her to retreat into a lonely shell. "Wait... I think I'm stuck." Her grey eyes met mine when she caught me staring, but I didn't look away. Her face flushed crimson, and she quickly averted her gaze back to her paper. I should have been the one blushing, yet she was the one whose face turned beet red. "Yes?"

She pushed the paper back to me... "I think there's an error somewhere... " She circled the entire equation with the back of her pen. "I just can't make sense of my answer... it looks completely wrong." I scrutinized the question, scanning it one last time.

"Ah... you switched the numbers... and you're using the wrong method. This problem requires you to think creatively and apply multiple approaches, so try something else from what I've taught you. And double-check the numbers - scan them carefully." I deliberately didn't point out exactly where she went wrong, as I wanted her to discover it for herself.

Come to think of it, I'd make a godamn good lecturer, if only my patience could work with me. Fortunately Dove was a bright student.

As I observed her starting the work again, I noticed her patience and determination. She was an achiever, driven to succeed, and would redo something until she reached her goal. In contrast, I was the opposite - if I failed twice, Fuck this shit! No wonder I never failed.

The rain had intensified, becoming a torrential downpour with strong winds. It was a stormy rain, the kind that could topple trees and anything unstable. Lightning flashed, and thunder roared mercilessly. The sea responded to the rain, its waves crashing vigorously against the shore.

I couldn't help but notice how Dove flinched at every lightning strike. She was scared, and her fear was palpable.

I had been so captivated by watching her that I forgot about the file in my hand. She was alluring, and that was dangerous for me. Her innocence was lethal, distracting, and disturbing. It was frustrating because I found myself thinking about how to corrupt that innocence. Why? Because Dove's sheltered life with a Catholic sister had left her naive about the world. She didn't realize how much she yearned to break free from her innocence. Her body craved something more, even if she didn't know it herself. It was as if her body was betraying her, selling her out to desires she couldn't quite acknowledge.

I noticed her niplles were erect and her body language seemed uncomfortable. I admit I was looking at her boobs distracted by her presence, call me pervert, she had a captivating aura. "Yes, I did it." She said finally.

She handed me the paper, her eyes still locked on mine. She had taken a moment to gather her courage, but eventually, she relaxed. She took a deep breath, and I noticed her chest rise and fall. She asked, her eyes darting around my desk, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" I shrugged, focusing on her paper. "I don't know." I reviewed the questions I had given her, and she had aced them all. She was capable and intelligent, and I was impressed. "Now you can work on that assignment, right? Don't forget to show me when you're done." The rain was pouring down intensely, making it impossible to drive. "I think you'll need to stay here for a while."
