The Undeniable Allure

CHAPTER FOUR

   Chapter 4

The rest of the weekend flies by since I opt to stay in my room the whole sunday to avoid seeing Mike, Monday I don't have any classes so I stay in and order a pizza while I watch a movie.. On Tuesday I woke up way later than I would have wanted to. I only have an hour to get ready so I run over to the communal showers that I still need to get used to. By the time i'm finished I only have 45 minutes before classes start and need to get coffee before then to function so I grab a pair of black jeans, grab an oversize hoodie and put my hair in a messy bun on my way to my class. I have to bring my glasses with me since I didn't even have time to put on my contacts. Lucky the Starbucks is just down the street from my dorm so it only takes me eight extra minutes to get to class since the line is longer than usual.. My first class of the day is communications class a I should have taken next year but decided against it to avoid the criminal justice course. I arrived 2 minutes early which really showed how many tickets I should have gotten on my way here. The class is totally empty so when I arrive I hide in the bathroom for five minutes so no one thinks I'm the goodie two shoes that makes sure she's 15 minute early. I apply some blush and mascara in the bathroom since I look like I literally just rolled out of bed. When I walk into class the whole room is partly filled up, but I'm guessing people just decided to cut class today. I sit in the middle of the class because I can't see in the back but also rather not have a seat in the front. The class flies by with introductions and going over the syllabus. 30 minutes fly by and midway through the class someone walks in and everyone turns around to see who it is. I was too busy taking notes to look around plus that hasn't happened since high school, but when all the girls look at each other and some just follow the person walking with their eyes I decide to look around. When I do I see Mike. Is he literally stalking me? I sink in my seat hoping he won't see me, don't get me wrong I would love to feel his lips against mine, I really would, but I'm taken and I don't cheat. I look to my left and see I have an empty seat so I pray that he won't notice that in the sea of everyone else. My prayers go unanswered as he sits next to me. He doesn't seem to notice me, but I don't blame him. I look totally different from the last time he saw me. He takes a glance over at me from the corner of his eye then looks back at his backpack to grab his notebook. I feel him glaring at me again. I try my hardest not to look at him and keep my eyes locked onto the teacher.

"Your Brook right, the girl from the party and the mall." He half questions half states.

" Yea your , Mike right" I say, feeling my smile growing. I can't help it. He's just too hot for me not to blush.

" Well now since you can't run away from me this time it the perfect opportunity for me to get your number." he smiles his irresistible smile.

" I have a boyfriend, remember?" I say while writing in my notebook.

" I remember but we can hang out as friends and maybe I can get your mind off your boyfriend."

"You're insane." I laugh

"Alright, alright whatever, but for real i'm probably the only junior that has 4 friends and they're all guys, I promise i'll keep my lips to myself." He chuckles.

"Fine." I cave in and give him my number.

15 minutes later the class is finished, I decide to ask my boyfriend if he'd like to grab lunch to try to get my mind off of Mike. We meet at a pizza shop and share a pepperoni pizza.

" How was class?" He asks as he stuffs the pizza in his mouth.

I nearly choke on my pizza and I try my best to hurry to answer him.

" It was great, it was great." I mumble.

"Brook whats wrong?" He questions.

My heart starts speeding up, does he know i'm basically emotionally cheating? How can he tell I'm hiding something from him?

" Nothing, i'm just tired. Want to come over to my dorm so we can watch a movie or something? My roommate is probably studying and I really rather not be alone in my room all day." I wine.

When he agrees we leave and drive to my dorm. When we open the door like I predicted Kaycee is not in the room. I grab my laptop as me and Damien snuggle up in my sheets watching Netflix. In the middle of the movie Damien pauses it and gently places the computer on my nightstand. He stares at me for a second before connecting his lips with mine.
