Engaged To My Professor

Chapter 17

***GRACES POV***

I was in Gios dorm sitting on the couch while he gets ready for classes today, I woke up extra early this morning but not of my own accord though it's just that sleeping on the couch was pretty uncomfortable.

After the conversation with Miss Anderson things have gotten worse, more awkward and weird than ever before.

I'm not going to lie hearing her say that she deeply regrets the night we spent together hurt which is stupid on my part. "Still whining about what happened between you and Miss Smith" said Gio walking out of the bathroom with a towel around his neck and his wet hair sticking to his forehead. He was shocked when I told him about everything that happened over the phone the other night.

"Yeah, I mean what was I expecting?, for her to say that she wanted it to happen again?" I asked

"Precisely" said Gio "What?" I replied "See I think you want her more then you've been leading on" said Gio "Yeah you must've finally lost it" I replied denying it.

"There's nothing wrong with my mental state you're just that good at lying to yourself" he said.

"Yeah whatever" I said rolling my eyes at him, Gio chuckled and went back into the bathroom then I heard the sound of a blow dryer.

I sighed and leaned my head back on the couch.

What is going on with me?.

Later we were in our 2nd hour lecture, I couldn't focus on anything the professor was saying because Imagines and memories of what happened between me and Miss Anderson kept appearing in my mind.

It was like torture.

I crossed one leg over the other feeling my jeans tightening but this feeling was way too uncomfortable.

I watched the clock knowing we only had 2 minutes left then we could leave, just then there was a nudge at my shoulder. "You ok?" Asked Gio who was sitting beside me. I nodded "yeah I'm fine" I said but he didn't seem convinced, eventually classes ended and I Jetted out of the lecture room and made my way to the bathroom.

When I rushed inside I ended up bumping into someone. "I am so sorry m-" I said but stopped when I looked up and saw Miss Anderson standing there.

I haven't spoken to her since yesterday.

I cleared my throat while avoiding eye contact with her "Miss Smith", "Miss Hart" she said with a nod. We stood there silently for a moment before she decided to speak. "I'll be on my way excuse me" she said walking past me as she did so I caught a whiff of her perfume, I closed my eyes momentarily before taking in the smell and turning my head in the direction she just left from.

She smells amazing.

I shook my head and slapped my cheeks, Oh my god, am I going crazy?,

Eventually it was time to go home, I stood outside waiting for my ride. Usually my driver is here on time like clockwork but today for some reason he's no where to be seen. Just then the clouds started to darken and the sound of thunder could be heard.

Looks like it's about to storm, well walking is out of the question I didn't even bring an umbrella and I can't ask Gio for a ride because he left early saying something about picking his mom up from the airport today.

I sighed and pulled out my phone about to dial my father's number but the rain that had started to pour down on me made it hard to see the screen on my phone.

I sighed once more and pushed my phone into my back pocket not wanting it to get more wet than it already was.

Just then I heard a familiar voice and suddenly the rain stopped hitting me, I thought it had stopped until I looked up to see Miss Anderson standing next to me holding and purple umbrella over both of our heads.

She faced forward avoiding my eyes as I stared at her confused.

Why was she helping me?.

"Come on I'll give you a ride" she suddenly said, "W-What?" I replied surprised "Are you hard of hearing or something?" She asked, suddenly my shock washed away and was replaced by irritation at her bad attitude towards me.

"On second thought the rain doesn't look that bad I'll walk" I snarled before turning to leave moving from underneath her umbrella.

"Wait I'm sorry that was a rather rude and unnecessary response" she said I stopped walking and turned around and she sighed before speaking again "What I meant to say is we're going to the same place anyways so why not ride together" she said once again surprising me I would have never thought that she'd offer me a ride.

Since we've been married we've always drove separately to the university and home.

I sighed deeply it's not like I have any other options right now.

"Okay just this once".
