Engaged To My Professor

Chapter 9

***GRACES POV***

"Ok then let's talk" said Miss Anderson, "Well then miss Anderson I-" I said but was cut off "Drop the Miss Anderson that's my mother title I'm just Andrea when we are alone, I've always hated being addressed like that" she said.

I didn't like the idea of calling her by her first name because it would seem like we're close when we clearly aren't. "No thanks I'll stick with Miss Anderson" I said staring into her eyes as I spoke. She stared back at me with her almond shaped sharp eyes as well with a look that could make any one buckle under it......but not me.

"Now as I was  saying I think it's best we lay down some ground rules" I said.

"I agree" she replied.

"This marriage is just on paper, rather or not we choose to be with someone else it's completely up to us I will not interfere in any relationships you may have or want to have" I said with a shrug.

"Fine by me, don't expect me to give you spacial treatment at the university because we're married, and keep the fact that we're married to yourself" she said with a serious look on her face. "I wasn't planning on telling anyone anyways" I said feeling a bit offended "Good" she replied, "Also your not obligated to know my whereabouts what I do is my business" she added.

"You don't have to worry about that I don't care enough about you to want to know where you are" I said bluntly.

"The feeling is mutual Miss Saintclair" she said "Don't expect us to do anything" I added "Excuse me?" She said "Sex, don't except us to have sex" I said she looked at me blankly for a moment before letting out a loud chuckle one that made me feel embarrassed, I was pretty shocked as well considering she's not the type to show emotion.

"What's so funny?" I asked she cleared her throat before speaking after finally calming down enough to do so "I don't have sex with children Miss Saintclair" she said "I'm not a child" I replied "You are the very equivalent of one" she replied which only further pissed me off.

"Have you ever thought that maybe you're just old" I said folding my arms across my chest as I leaned back in my seat "Excuse me?!" She replied "I think you heard me" I said before standing up "I'm going to go shower excuse me" I said before walking straight past her.

Went spent the rest of the day in the house ignoring each other then night time came and we stood face to face on both sides of the only king sized bed in the house, the others are all twin sized and neither of us was willing to be cramped up in a small bed all night or sleep on the couches that are luxurious but uncomfortable.

"So" I said "So" she replied "I'm not sleeping on the couch" I said "Fine by me you can take the floor then" she replied "if anyone should get the bed it obviously should be me ever heard of the saying children first" I said Sarcastically.

"There's also one that says respect your elders" she replied sarcastically as well.

"Respect is earned" I said "Ok then as I recall earlier you said you weren't a child so that rule doesn't apply to you" she said.

"I would say the same but you never denied being old" I said back.

This back and forth went on for quite awhile until eventually we both gave up. "You know what I don't care anymore just stay on your side of the bed and we won't have a problem" I said getting in the bed and laying down "Fine by me" she replied doing the same.

I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing off the hook. I reached out and grabbed it still half woke and half asleep only to see that it was my alarm going off.

I looked around the room seeing that I was alone in bed. Where'd she go?, wait why do I care.

I pulled down the screen on my phone only to see that I was extremely late to classes this morning. "SHIT" I said as I jumped out of bed and immediately ran to the bathroom rushing to do my business and get dressed. Once I was done I ran out of the house only to see that my driver was already waiting for me.

He must've been out there all day.

I got to the university quickly and made my way inside, by the time I got there Miss Smith/ Andersons lecture had already started.

Why didn't she wake me up?!.

I knocked on the door and of course Miss Anderson answered. "Well I see you've finally made it" she said with a small smirk playing on her lips. I glared up at her she clearly let me oversleep on purpose no doubt to get back at me for what I said to her last night.

"It would appear that I overslept" I said clenching my jaw.

"Yes it would appear so" she said folding her arms as she leaned against the door frame and looked at me with a look that screamed your move.

This was obviously amusing to her but not to me in the slightest. "Well now that you know my reasons can I come in and have a seat?" I asked "Sure" she said and I was about to walk in until she put a hand on my chest stopping me.

"After you go get a tardy slip from the office" she said I stared up at her with an intense pissed off look which didn't faze her at all.

I ended walking all the way to the main office across campus only to have to wait nearly 30 minutes for a red tardy slip. Once I got it I rushed back to Miss Andersons class only to see her packing up to leave as the bell rung loudly throughout the halls.

I stood in the doorway out of breath from running and royally pissed off.

"Class is over now there's no need for that slip" she said without even looking up at me as she continued to pack her laptop into her bag.

I walked in and shut the door before storming over to her. She looked up confused as I place both hands on either side of her on her desk locking her in front of me as I leaned her backwards up against it our bodies so close that they were nearly touching.

"You did this on purpose" I said in a pissed off tone she looked me deep into my eyes as she spoke "I don't know what you mean Miss Hart" she said clearly lying.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked "Pardon me? I was unaware that I had a job serving as your personal alarm clock" she said sarcastically.

"We were going to the same place you could've-" I said but she cut me off "it's not my job to make sure you get to class on time miss hart, it seems that you have forgotten about the rules already" she said as she backed me backwards away from her and got closer to my ear "No spacial treatment" she whispered sending chills down my body as she pulled away and looked at me one last time "See you at home" she said with a grin before grabbing her bag and walking out.

The sound of her heels fading as she got further down the hallway.

I stood there with my fist balled as I looked down.

God she's so infuriating and petty, she's always saying I'm childish then go and pull something like this.
