Sophia’s POV

I stared at Ian in confusion as he turned his back on me while blood dripped from my wrist. I didn’t understand why he turned away from me the moment I cut myself. Could it be that he didn’t like the sight of blood?

“Ian?” I called out, watching him intently. His whole body had gone rigid and he was grilling the edge of the table so hard that I feared he might get himself injured.

“Why aren’t you talking?” I asked him quietly. “Stop holding the table that way, you could get yourself injured,” I added in worry but he was still rigid like he couldn’t even hear what I was saying at all.

I sighed. Maybe he had a bad history with blood and seeing it triggered a memory he didn’t want to remember. I gulped and sighed. “I’m leaving now,” I added even though I was very sure that he couldn’t hear one word I was saying.

I rubbed my face and turned away from him, grabbing the tissue box that was on the top of his freezer and removing one. I used pressed it to the wound as I left his office.

The moment I stepped out, I came face to face with Jenny. My heart literally stopped as she stared at me with a raised eyebrow. And then she looked at the name tag on the door of the office then she raised her brow at me. “You didn’t tell me you were back with him,” she said quietly as she grabbed my arm and began to drag me away from his office. We were the only ones in the hallway.

“I’m not,” I lied.

“Yeah, tell that to someone who is blind,” she answered flatly. “If you want to lie to someone at all, it shouldn’t be me. Why would you even be lying to me?”

She stared down at my wrist which I was using the other hand to press the tissue to it. “And what happened to you?”

“I scratched my wrist,” I explained.

“Was that before or after the both of you fucked?” She asked flatly.

“That’s rude,” I snapped. “And no, we didn’t fuck,” I lied, gritting my teeth in annoyance.

“You should stop lying, really. It doesn’t suit you at all,” she murmured. “And you’re lucky I was the one who saw you, and not someone else.”

“Ugh, fine. You caught us. Yes, we fucked. But can you just let that drop? You don’t have to keep rubbing it in my face at every chance you get,” I snapped.

“Let it drop?! You both were very careless and you both could have been caught!” She whisper-yelled. “And if you both were caught, do you know what could happen? I came to this stupid college because of you. You don’t get to leave me at the beginning because you were careless. What were you both thinking?!”

“It just happened,” I murmured solemnly, biting my lip. “I didn’t expect it to happen.”

We both got into her car and she revved the engine instantly, then sped out of campus. “You didn’t expect it to happen? Jeez! You have been clearly very attracted to him. What did you think will happen if you went to his office?!”

“I didn’t just go! He told my Lecturer to tell me to come to his office,” I defended myself.

“So he called you to his office because he wants to fuck with you?” She shot me a look.

“He called me to his office because I’ve been failing each and every one of his tests! I have failed five of his tests! And then the other thing must happened. It wasn’t like we both planned to do it or anything like that!” I snapped.

Her head snapped to me instantly. “You’ve failed five tests? Why didn’t you tell me?!”

“I didn’t know,” I lied.

“You knew, Sophia. Why?...how?”

“I’ve been distracted by his presence in class and I haven’t been able to concentrate,” I murmured.

She sighed, he shoulders dropping as she concentrated on the wheels once again. “Well you need to find a way to be less distracted and more focused in his class.”

“I’m trying,” I answered defeatedly.

“And you need to keep trying,” she answered. “Besides, I can’t tell you to stop fucking with him. Clearly that’s what you’ve needed since all these weeks. I hate to admit, but you actually look relaxed now.”

Red colored my cheeks at her words.

“But you need to be careful with him. His career will be t stake and your education too but it’s your education that is more at stake. Do you know that?” She sighed and looked at me. “He can always get a job elsewhere I guess. But you…you think any university or college will want to accept a girl who had sex with her Lecturer? It’s a stain on your reputation. I don’t think they care if you are a very smart girl or not.”

My shoulders dropped and I sighed. “We’ll be more careful,” I promised.

“No more sex in the school premises okay? Let it be far away from school. In his home, or something.” She fixed me with a stern look.

“Fine fine. We won’t have…anything in school,” I assured her.

She grinned at me. “So how was it, hmm?”

“I promised him I won’t tell anyone about us,” I answered quietly.

“Yeah. But I’m not anybody. I’m your best friend. And oh, you didn’t tell me. I caught you both, remember?” She gave me a sly smile and I rolled my eyes. “So, spill all the details.”

Crimson coloured my cheeks as I remembered everything and I clenched my thighs. I could still feel him in me. And now I wanted him more. I wanted him to fuck me hard like he had done in his office. At the same time I wanted him to be gentle with me as he had been gentle that day at the club.

“It was everything I expected…and more,” I answered her with a sigh and then chuckled lightly.

“Hmm is that so?” She asked with a grin as she parked in front of our dorm. “Well I just came home to take my things. I’m going to Ronan’s house.”

I shot her a smirk and raised a brow at her. “Ronan’s house, huh? What are you going to do at Ronan’s house?”

“I’m not so sure that it’s your concern,” she answered with a sly smile as she got down from the car and walked in. I looked at her as she walked and shook my head with a chuckle. My phone vibrated in my bag and I picked it to check what it was.

“Gotten home safely? Don’t forget to use the pill,” the text read. It was Ian. And he had texted. Even though I hadn’t been expecting him to.
