Engaged To My Professor

Chapter 33

***ANDREA'S POV***

"I'm sorry but I can't do that" I said her smile dropped and she nodded, "Ok I understand" she said before stepping closer to me "But my offer still stands should you change your mind" she said "I'm sure I won't" I replied before moving past her.

The meeting with Valerie ended and I made my way back home.

I got to the manor and made my way inside, I took my shoes off but when I went to stack them next to the others I noticed an unfamiliar pair of black red bottom heels.

I knew they weren't mine and I never seen Grace wear any, I also knew for a fact that Phoebe doesn't like to wear heels.

Growing suspicious I walked further into the manor and was about to go upstairs until I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the living room. "I know you missed me" said a woman's voice I walked in to see a tall blonde haired woman with her blouse hanging half way off her shoulders, on top of Grace.

Grace immediately got up pushing the girl off of her. "Andrea-" she tried saying but I cut her off "I'm going upstairs" I said before walking away not even giving her a chance to say anything back.

I felt this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach as I thought about what I just seen.

I had questions but no right to ask them, we're not together but I couldn't help but wonder if her words that night were even true.

I knew there was a strong possibility that the feelings she claimed to have for me could be strongly influenced by the fact that we had sex on more then one occasion. This is why I should've kept my distance, lust and love are two very different feelings yet they still always somehow end up confused for one another.

I showered and went back downstairs to make something to eat for dinner.

Hopefully that woman is gone.

I got to the kitchen but to my surprise there were two hot meals on the table and Grace was setting down some spoons by both of the plates.

She looked up when she realized I was standing there, "I made dinner yours is on that side" she said. I looked away from her "No thanks I'm not hungry" I said she sighed before walking over to me "Andrea about earlier it wasn't what you think" she said "I don't care" I replied looking up at her with a glare, she ran a hand through her hair "Are you mad at me or something?" She asked I rolled my eyes "Why would I be mad? We agreed to stay out of each other's way" I said "Yeah that was before I told you I love you, and you rejected me" said grace "Exactly, we're not together what you do is your business now if you'll excuse me, I'm tired" I said before pushing past her and going back upstairs.

I was hungry moments ago but I had suddenly lost my appetite.

The next day the same woman came back again, I watched through the window as Grace and the woman stood outside and talked.

Something about that woman just annoys me. "What are you up to now creep" said Phoebe before walking over to the window and standing next to me. Usually I would curse her out for calling me a creep but instead I just ignored her and asked the question I've been wondering.

"Who is that woman?" I asked "Her name is Julia, she's a model for a rival agency against the one I worked for" she said nonchalantly "Shouldn't you be pissed off that she's here then?" I asked she shook her head "Nope she's their rival not mine I don't work there anymore thanks to the strings you pulled....thanks for that by the way" said Phoebe "Your welcome" I replied still focused on Grace and that woman named Julia.

Just then Julia wrapped her arms around Graces neck and smiled at her.

That one simple action made my skin crawl and annoyed me even more than before.

"Does she not know what personal space is?" I said. Phoebe went quiet and I turned my head to see that she was staring at me. "What?" I asked "Is this jealous Drea I'm talking to right now?" She asked I rolled my eyes at her.

"I'm not jealous I'm just saying she shouldn't have her hands all over people like that" I said with a shrug.

"People?, or Grace?" Asked Phoebe raising an eyebrow at me.

"How's it going with your two boyfriends?" I asked clearly changing the subject.

"You didn't answer my question drea" said Phoebe. I rolled my eyes and walked away from her.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I said "You literally do, but I'm not going to push you, a word of advice though" she said turning me to look at her.

"If you have feelings for grace then you need to say something, holding them in or denying them will only cause you to self destruct then you'll lose her forever, Grace is a catch and damn fine one at that, Julia won't be the only problem you have soon" said Phoebe seriously before patting my shoulder and walking away leaving me to stand there and think about what she just said.
