Teresa's POV:

A normal life without any distractions of Brad had just commenced to make my life steady until recently that night, I found the windows to his house dark. He had not been home.

"Where could he be this late at night?" I was instantly dragged away from my reverie by the concrete clacking of sth sharp. A woman's stilletoes.My eyes reverted to the window I had been looking towards for the past few minutes; there goes Brad, drunk, tipsy, in a woman's arms.

Heaving a sigh of relief that he was at least home enabled me to stop worrying about him anymore.

Brad's POV:
Last night with Stella was a mistake. I'll make sure to make it clear to her," I directed myself

Donned in a crisp white shirt and black pants, I brushed my sandy hair and was off for College. Oops forgot to apply my cologne.

"Hi Conner," I greeted him as soon as I met him inside Silverdomes College.

"Hey buddy. I'm afraid I should tell this to you. There's a bad news. " Conner's bent eyebrows indicated something is definitely wrong.

What is it ? Muffin? No she has to be alright.

"Spill Conner" I snapped

"It's Teresa. She fainted like a lighting in a clear sky. She was all.......," His words were drowned in as I rushed towards the infirmary.

Pleading my feet to pace faster, I kept thinking about Muffin. She must've felt alone.

As soon as I saw Muffin, I a stopped rampaging towards her and steadied my pace. But she was NOT alone. She had a guy by her side. A guy I had never seen before. I made sure no guy of our campus had any guts to near her; everyone knew she is not to be meddled.

Then who the motherf**ker was this guy who had his hands around my girl. How dare he? My eyes leered lividly at his hands that rested on Muffin's
waist.

Had I been a bit more early, I would be in his position. Jealousy surged through my backbone, wanting to smack this guy I had never seen before as crazily as if he were my lifelong enemy. Another part of me wanted to snatch Teresa away and make her mine so that no such jerks like him could use her.
I knew none of this is possible. She can't be mine. She deserves someone better. That someone is not me. In a while, my world broke apart at this gruesome sight. As if the shattered pieces were too fragile to be mended. As if I had already lost her. That world devoid of Muffin was bland, black and white, had lost its meaning and urge to live. The anger that had seeped through my veins were now replaced by disappointment.

I walked past them, unaffected.

Maybe Muffin wanted this. Maybe she wanted to be turned on.

This guy may not be the match for her. She is too naive. She won't know that he may be tricking with her emotions. I'll have to keep a close eye on her. I rummaged through my routine and textbooks to look for Muffin's first class. I can't let her alone. Not with this son of a bitch.

She has geology. I decided to flunk my computer science class and join hers. (P.S computer science is his favourite subject)

The geology classroom was small, less students than I had thought, which made it easier to look for Muffin.She wasn't there yet. Taking a seat, I waited for her, my backpack guarding the seat beside for her.

Muffin arrived. She hasn't seen me and took a seat. I glanced back to see that newbie trailing after her.

I stormed to take the seat next to her.
"Hi Muffin" I greeted her with my to-die-for smile.

"Hey Brad," she replied with a smile I could spend a thousand dollars to witness that.

"You okay? You look pallid and sallow." I enquired
"I just had a nausea. I'm alright now. How are you here ?" She asked me back.

"I missed you." I blurted out.
"Oh..... you did ? " She was silent.

The bell rang and echoed throughout out the classroom, with everyone silenced in. Soon afterwards the respective teacher entered and began the class.

Throughout the class, I stole furtive glances at Muffin. She had never been this close to me before, that too for a whole lot 40 min. How can I miss this chance.

Our hands brushed past each other as we took notes. Muffin glanced at me and moved her chair a further apart to prevent this from happening. Doesn't she see there's a spark between us ?

Glaring at her I brought her back to it's original place, close to me .

"Don't ever try to go away from me" My words were barely audible. Perhaps she didn't hear me out. But she did.

"What if I get married?" Muffin whispered in hushed tone.

"Still you are mine." I murmured. How can anyone else take this place, when it's you. It's always been you.

Both of us had our eyes locked into each other.

"Can we keep the romance aside pls. It'll help both you and me to concentrate," the teacher demanded our attention, and we drifted apart.

What am I gonna do once she gets married ? The hollow inside of me intensified, thinking I cannot claim her mine once she belongs to another guy, her body legally accessible to another guy.

Even then I cannot get her out of my mind.
"Both of you out," and we were ousted from the geology class.

"Why didn't you call for me when you were in such a state," I pleaded Muffin.

"I didn't want to disturb you ," she was somewhat distant even though we were so close together so as to feel the radiated body heat of my each other .

Cupping her cheeks and brushing her lower lip, I was fighting my greatest desire to fill her lips with mine, kiss her passionately.

"You know you are my first....." I was interrupted.

"Don't keep me under this delusion. You now have more people to attend to...day and night," the last words were barely audible, still clear enough to understand what she meant.

She saw me and Stella. Perhaps this is how it had to be like. The time where we had to part ways.
