"What else do you need from me-"- I took a step forward, finding myself closer his the desk- "professor?"

He was acting weird today. It seemed like the heavy atmosphere that usually surrounded him had disappeared and his face was kind of more relaxed and I felt more liberated in his presence.

Mr. Storm looked me in the eyes for a moment until he looked down to his desk. He rose slightly from his chair and began to look for something in the pocket of his pants. He took out his phone, unlocked it and raised his head: "Put here your number."- extending his hand.

I raised my hand and took it, unable to feel my heart beating for a while. I took a deep breath and, while putting my number on the phone, I tried to go back to my senses blinking subtly, trying not to reach the attention of the figure in front of me.

"Miss Brown?"- I looked up as I heard his voice, handing him his phone.

"Yeah?"

"Have you heard anything I've said?" -he asked and I nodded negatively.- "This is just in case I need anything regarding the project... I remembered that now because of April and Alexander."

"Okay."- I breathed out and looked to the floor. When I looked again to him he spoke again.

"Why are you always so tense?"

"I'm not always tense."- I almost rolled my eyes.

"So you're tense only when you're in my presence?"- Well- yes, actually. But that isn't really your business.

"No, just when I'm around someone that I don't know well."

"That seems like a lie-"

"Why?"- I interrupted him and for once he did not care that I did.

"I'm sorry, for moments I considered that you were the kind of person who didn't feel comfortable next to anyone, except your precious ring- but there's still time for me to change my opinion."

"I'm not Gollum! And just for the record everything that has to do with Lord Of The Rings is fantastic!"- I narrowed my eyes to him.- "In my case, professor, if I may express honesty"- I said the words slowly.- "I think you are a mix of Die Hard and Pretty Woman."

"What?"- he gave me a real smile and I felt my heart drop.- "I'll leave the Die Hard part alone because I can admit all the similarities, but how dare you to say that Pretty Woman has something to do with me?!"

"I've never seen anyone so interested in their own hair more than Julia Roberts in that movie until I met you."- I teased.

"You look like a reincarnation of Finding Nemo."

"How so?"

"You look like you're constantly looking for something, but instead of being in the ocean, it's in your hands."

"Please..."

"Is it that hard looking at me during class?"

"I look at you long enough. I don't look at my hands much-" -I decided to keep talking as I saw his eyebrows raise. Ok, maybe I look at my hands a lot, but it's not like...- "I'm still paying attention to the class either way."

"Why are you always lying to me?"- the corners of his mouth rose.

"How would you know?"- I mimicked his action.
