Shy Smiles

Chapter Three- Head in the clouds ( Part One)

Monday had rolled around again and after a dismal weekend I was actually looking forward to today's lecture, I wonder why? I had to smirk to myself. Victor was going to be there, and I had three hours of just looking at him and trying to pay attention to the lecture. The joy of it.

He was in his own little world when he arrived today, I hadn't seen him in the lift this morning, to my own disappointment. But seeing him even in the classroom, his usual attire of a shirt, waist-cost and matching trousers. He had a coffee clutched in his right hand and a laptop with some papers held under his left arm. I bet that is a Hazelnut coffee. He seemed ready for a day, I was not. He came in and sat in his usual seat opening his laptop and getting ready for the lecture.

"Right then, let's start. Today we are going to be continuing to..." The lecture began but I soon zoned out into just looking at Victor, he really did love Shakespeare.

"So, does anyone want to comment on the ambiguity of this scene?" Did he just use my words? Ambiguity! I smiled to myself and looked down and tapping my pen on my page.

"Ophelia, do you have something to say?" Is he really calling on me? I smirked and began to speak...

"Well, I think that he uses these words that, when first written, would not have been ambiguous but straight forward like the use of serpent in Hamlet. It does not actually mean a snake but gives connotations of evil as it can be linked to the bible" and with that I closed my mouth and looked at Victor. A smirk slowly grew on his face until he noticed the class starting to turn towards him.

"hmmm...I agree, anyone else like to contribute?" He turned his attention away from me and to everyone else still looking at Victor and I saw him give a small wink in my direction. I could not help myself; I had such a big smile on my face, and I could not hide it. I felt...I felt happy.

The lecture continued and my eyes never left him, and I think he noticed because when I was packing away he asked to speak to me.

"Yes Victor?" A small smile was placed on my face as the last few students left the room and again. He too had a smile creeping onto his face, one that he could no longer hide. Just as the last student left Victor took a step closer to me so we were touching ever so slightly, then I could feel his fingertips gently caressing mine. You could feel the electric between us. All this closeness had caused a blush to spread across my cheeks, I could not help it.
