The next morning I woke up to find myself naked with a firm grip around my waist. It felt so good that I moaned involuntarily, inhaling the woody scent which was so familiar. That's when the events of last night came rushing back to my head. I got up with a jerk and pulled up the sheets to cover myself. Shit, shit, shit, stupid Emma. This was a huge mistake. Damn me and my stupid body to give in to my desires. This was going to be so awkward. I turned to my side to find Austin sleeping peacefully and trailed my eyes all over his chiseled chest. I remembered how amazing last night was and blushed at the thought of it.
A small smile crept on my face as I traced his jawline. Fuck, he looked so beautiful. I wouldn't mind watching him sleep all day. I shook my head and stepped out of his bed, ready to face reality and decided to see myself out to avoid the awkward morning after. I quickly got dressed and wore my heels. I ran outside towards the living room to find my bag near the door and searched for my phone to book a cab. Soon I was on my way home, What was I even thinking? I thought if I slept with him, I could get him out of my mind but it only made me want him more. I could still feel his touch and lips all over my body. Last night was too good that every second of it was etched in my mind. I felt like a whole new person when I was with him and it scared me to think about how much I enjoyed it. Everything about his screamed trouble and heartbreak. Getting over Justin was the hardest thing I had to do and I don't think I can go through that misery again. I made up my mind to never see him again. No more fun teasing glances and game nights. I took a deep breath and made up my mind to go back to my normal life.
Once I reached home, I noticed that my car was in the driveway which brought a smile to my face. He must have asked someone to drop it at my house after I dozed off last night. So much for not thinking about him. I groaned and entered my house, running upstairs to take a quick shower. I got dressed for my classes in my black jeans and a grey hoodie. I grabbed a granola bar from the kitchen and rushed to my classes.
"Good morning, class." The professor chirped as he entered the classroom. I closed my eyes and held my head, trying to relax.
"Rough morning?" I heard the voice of Liam Anderson as he sat down beside me. He was my classmate and the only person who was kind of close to me after Ashley. We got along so well from the first day of law school and helped me a lot during my breakup. He was a nice guy and I liked hanging out with him. I turned around to look at him with a scowl on my face. He grinned at my expression which made his blue eyes sparkle. He was quite handsome with dirty-blonde hair and a well-built body. All the girls at the campus threw themselves at him but I never found him attractive at all. He was more like a brother I never had.
"More like a rough weekend, dude." I sighed and groaned in frustration. I hated Monday mornings.
"I don't think so. You look like you had a good time partying last night?" he wiggled his eyebrows and my eyes went wide. Shit. I was just a random accurate guess. Stop panicking. I let out a huge breath before responding.
"I was in my bed all weekend and if you consider that as a partying then yeah, I did party hard." I lied as the professor starting writing something on the board. He chuckled at my response and fixed his gaze to the board in front of us.
"So as the exams are approaching, I wanted to share some important piece of information." Everyone fell silent and the professor continued, "We are going to select three students who do well in the upcoming examination and offer them a part-time internship opportunity with the most reputed law firm in New York, Thomson and Knight." I heard collective gasps all around the class which included mine as well. He continued, "This internship could turn into a full-time job opportunity depending on your performance. Of course, you won't be paid during the internship but this is a huge opportunity, so I suggest you all throw in your effort and study well." he finished off with a huge smile and started on with the lecture. Damn, it would be super cool to get that internship. I have heard so much about that law firm and was already excited about it.
