"Miss Cortez, can I have a minute?" The afternoon session for their advance class has just ended. She looked at him and his eyes seemed to have had something to say. "It's really good that you take the advance classes. I really appreciate it."
Appreciate? She should be the one thanking him for persuading her to attend. "I should be the one thanking you. It's such a great help for me especially with my applications for university." She smiled at him sincerely thanking him for the opportunity.
"If you have problems you can call for my help anytime." Call? He means call him anytime? She wondered if she can call him in the middle of the night though. She looked at him and God, he is just so handsome but again she has to remind herself that the man is off limits. So she brushed off the thought and fled to her car.

She was heading home and traffic just got heavy and it started pouring that she almost can't see where the road is. What's worse is that her tires ran flat and now she needed to change in the middle of heavy rains. She tried calling her mom but her phone went dead. "Ugh! There shouldn't be anything worse than these, I hope!" She said in the middle of the night, wet and cold and changing her tires. Luckily, she has been taught by her uncle some mechanical works that she finds handy whenever there are happenings like this. However, she is already extremely cold due to the heavy rains. While doing so, she hasn't noticed a car parking at a house just across the street. The driver who obviously noticed her, went out of the car with an umbrella and ran towards her. She wasn't aware that there was already someone behind her as she is so focused with the tires and freezing temperature is not helping."Miss Cortez?" She was startled realizing whose voice it was. "What are you doing? What happened?"
She didn't know whether to feel ashamed or be happy since she was already freezing and needed to get it done with so that she could go home. Her mom's probably worrying already. "Uhm, my tires ran flat. I needed to change it!" She said loudly as it was thundering already. She continued and hastened because this man was making her imagine things she might just throw herself to him and ask him to make love with him through the night. So much for her imagination though.
"Do you know how to?" He asked not believing that such a girl knows how to change tires at her age.
"Yes!" It'll be fast." She said not able to pretend she was already shivering. He noticed it and asked her to wait til the rain stops and he'll help her change tires since she really is drenched and looks hungry and cold.
"Why don't you wait for the rain to stop? It's really pouring! You'll get pneumonia after if you continue. I'll help you change it later. Common! You need to change you'll get sick!"
She hesitated for a while, but she knows if she was to insist of continuing what she's doing might end her up in a hospital right after. She followed him into his apartment. He opened the door and led her inside. She stood just by the door as she was really soaked. He ran upstairs and went back shortly handing her a fresh towel. "You can use the bathroom, you could use a hot shower while I prepare you some tea. Or you want others like milk or chocolate or coffee?"
"Thank you. Really Mr. Wilson." She couldn't deny the effect this man has on her. If only he knows how he makes her feel. However, she still managed to be of her best behavior. "Anything will suffice. I couldn't thank you enough." She smiled heartily. At least she knows how to show gratitude. "May I ask where the bathroom is?".
"Oh! It's upstairs, second door you'll find. I have some shirts you could use after. It's in the bed, first room. We must dry your clothes after mustn't we?" He really moved fast being able to prepare for her some shirts. "They must be big enough for you". He added. He stared at her. They just stood there and looked eye to eye which made her stomach tickle.
"Uh-uhm I-I'll go take a s-shower." She broke pointing upstairs and headed for the bathroom.
She really can't believe she's in his apartment.
