My Professor's Affair

Chapter 23

I sighed after reading the whole file. My eyes were swollen and I took a little glance to the wall clock that ticks so slow instantly almost mocking me.

It's 4 in the morning. For the last drop, I poured the remaining wine to my glass and drank it all. I smelt like wine, feel like wine and I know I look like wine. I tried standing up, only to hold the edge of my study table. I felt so dizzy and my wobbly legs tried to keep my weight. I didn't realize how unconvenient my stairs are until I climb meanwhile feeling climbing a mountain. I opened my bedroom door and hurried to walk towards my bed and let my body fall on it.

Who can survive such tragedy?

I don't know what to feel.

I don't know what to say.

Such tragedy.

Beautiful tragedy.

Diana Adelaide Hawthorne.

I briskly walked towards the door, I sighed heavily and turned the knob.

Did you found the note that I wrote?
I hid it in the seam of your coat
It's hard to write,
With a lump in my throat
Do you even know?
I can't let go
Do you even know...
I can't let go.

I stopped dead when I heard claps.

"Yeah yeah, I think you will be more famous than Adele if you cover that song Dani."

"Oh shut up. You should have heard her written songs. She will be famous for that."

I heard laughter and I walked towards the lavish lounge area at the 5 star condominium. I cleared my throat and all eyes stuck on me.

"Hi, Good afternoon Doctor!". Barbara greeted me with a wide smile.

Everyone just stared at me and Diana looked away. Seeing her sitting in front of the grand piano, hearing her sing a beautiful song about heartache. I tilted my head,

"I am sorry for being late. I can come back tomorrow and then we will start our therapy." I say.

But the red head girl nodded.
"Yeah, I think tomorrow would be a good time ain't it Dani? So Doctor Clements, would you join us for supper?". She smiled brightly at me.

I cannot help but raise an eyebrow at her. Only the other day she was willing to trade her life to get mine wretched, now she's like an angel.

"I have somewhere else to go." I said.

"Awww, please? Barbie is a really good cook!". The brown haired girl flashes her puppy eyes at me.

"I already-".

"Please Professor. If it isn't much trouble. You can leave as soon as the dinner is over." I looked at the blonde who was massaging her left leg.

I absentmindedly nodded and walked towards the coffee table to put my bag down.

"I'm gonna go make pasta." Barbara said while standing up.

"Can you do another song?". Antoinette said to Diana.

"Uhm-".

"Please?". Antoinette says while batting her eyelashes.

A few seconds then, Diana started to sing.

I only wanted to have fun
Learning to fly
Learning to run
I let my heart decide the way
When I was young
