Please Professor / 18+

Chapter 6

"Thank you for letting me stay." Ophelia softly spoke.

"No problem, I wanted to make sure you were same." Kalen smiled. "So.. are we going to talk about this afternoon?" 

Ophelia sighed, not really wanting to get into it. "I'm not sure. I'd rather forget about it, it's been a long day."

"Do you not trust me?" Kalen asked through gritted teeth, he hadn't given her any reason to distrust him.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I have heard the rumours on campus about you flirting with the other girls." she retorted. Kalen looked at her, disbelief setting in.

"You don't seriously believe there is any truth to that do you?" he argued "I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't risk my job for that. I'm already risking my job with you." 

Something about that stung her a little, but she knew he was right. She knew if the university found out he would likely lose his job. They were both legal adults, both consenting, however the board would see it as unprofessional. He's her professor and she is his student. 

"I don't know... you flirted with me and look where we are now? I'm in your house, wearing your t-shirt, sat on your sofa." she quietly answered. "How do I know you don't do this with other girls."

Kalen sighed, he lifted her chin with his hand "Listen to me, I am only going to say this once okay? There is no one else." 

"How can I believe you, up until today we have barely spoke? I've been studying alone, you hardly acknowledge me in class, you don't call or text me." Ophelia questioned.

"Things have been stressful for me lately, the divorce isn't going as smoothly as I had hoped.." he paused, mulling over telling her or not. "Sarah... she want's to give things a try, she backed out of the divorce and won't sign the documents." 

Ophelia pulled away from him, unsure what the say. "And what about you? Do you want to try with her?"

"No, I don't, we haven't been happy for a long time. Our marriage was never really based on love, more so for our families." Kalen answered. 

Suddenly they heard a key in enter the front door.

"Fuck! Ophelia I need you to run upstairs and hide in my bedroom! It's the 2nd door on the right." he pulled her up from the sofa and urged her to hurry up.

Kalen straightened himself out, and waited for the front door to open. When it did, Sarah stook there with a hold all bag. 

"What are you doing here?" Kalen questioned irritated "I thought I took your key from you, this is my house."

"I had a spare, I wanted to see you." she answered. 

"You can't be here, I told you were over. I want a divorce." he shouted, trying his best to stay calm.

Sarah walked towards him and reached out for him, Kalen backed away from her and stood his ground "You need to get out Sarah, now!" he shouted.

"No, I am not leaving until we have spoken." she pushed back, throwing the door key down on the table. Kalen took note of this so that when she wasn't paying attention he could put the key in his pocket.

A couple hours passed by and Ophelia could hear shouting from downstairs, she glanced at the clock which read 01:25am. She groaned and rubbed her eyes tiredly.

Eventually she must have fallen asleep as the sound of the front door slamming woke her up, checking the time again it now read 2:00am. Shortly followed by footsteps coming up the stairs and the bedroom door opening.
