Ep2 - A BAD ANNIVERSARY..

I was in my chair, waiting patiently for professor Viktor to say something, I figured out it was because I am not that good in his class, which was a bit embarrassing, but it was the first day so I thought I could get better, even though he seems too strict and harsh.

Suddenly he look at me and put down the glasses he had to read, his answer was very different from what I expected, his voice going out as a vague whisper, yet rough and a bit angry, like if he was containing his feelings.

"That guy, was he your boyfriend, Ms.Natalie?"

I was surprised, it was a silly question, I nod proudly and put my hands on my desk, a bit relieved that it wasn't anything like studies or extra time in his class.

"Yes sir, is that a problem, Mr.Viktor?"

Then I felt some tension in the air, he clenched his jaw and looked away from me, he then suddenly smiled like he had changed his mood.

"Not at all, my dear, I would just recommend you don't act close to him on classes."

I was a bit out of orbit, why shouldn't I? I mean, its kind of weird but, he is a new professor and maybe he likes his class without distractions, but the only thing I didn't understand was that he seemed even.. jealous, or maybe I was just imagining things.

"Sure, Mr.Viktor, anything else?"

"Yes, please answer this page, I will be in my desk."

As I looked at the page I was in shock, there were lots of questions of stuff we haven't even seen in class! I pick up my pencil and watch as Mr.Viktor sat patiently in his desk, reading a book and stealing glances at me time to time.

After I answered the page, he grabbed it swiftly and firmly, looking at it.

"Mmm... seems like you need to get some few more afternoons with me, but that won't bother you, will it, sweetpea?"

"Mr.Viktor, we didn't saw this exercises I-"

"No more talking, Natalie, you will stay tomorrow."

It was so unfair, it almost seemed like if he was doing it on purpose, before I knew it we passed from 1pm to 6pm, almost FIVE hours with him! I totally forgot about the date with my boyfriend, Alan, oh no! It was our anniversary and I totally forgot, how bad he must have felt.

As I pick up my stuff to storm out as fast as I could, Viktor grab my wrist, his rough, calloused hand having a tight squeeze, he looked at me with his ice-cold blue eyes, he smirk.

"See you tomorrow, Miss Natalie."
"See you tomorrow, Mr.Viktor.."

As soon as he got off his hand, I storm out with my backpack and ran down the hall, the whole thing had been so uncomfortable, I just wanted to get out of there.

(With Alan)

I ran to the restaurant, our restaurant. We had met there, we spend every anniversary together in there, until today.

There he was, outside with some flowers and leaning against the wall smoking, he seemed so sad and frustrated, he has always deserved better than me.

I ran to him and cough a bit due to the heavy, long smoke he let out, his eyes light up as he saw me, he quickly step on the cigarette and hug me tightly.

"Oh, dear lord! I thought you had left me!"

I chuckled softly, my chest filled with a heartwarming feeling as he embraced me.

"No, how could I ever leave you, Alan?"
"Well-"

Our moment was cut off by some smoke, Alan looked confused, and I thought it was his cigarette
