My eyes widened when I saw him.

He was that man! That fucking selfish man! He was my last flavor of the night!

And with the way he looks at me, I knew he felt something to me that day.

What? You were immediately taken aback? I giggled to myself at the thought.

He continued discussing our lesson. Everyone was listening and had their books out except me. I just stared at him. At his muscular body. At his big arms. Small but red kissable lips. Dark almond eyes. A little bit tanned skin. Furrowed brows. Clenched jaw. And shiveled hair.

I was blown away by his handsomeness. He's a professor, huh? Not bad, okay.

"Do you remember me, my lovely Professor?" I teased him as my classmates were about to leave.

I noticed how he swallowed when he saw me approaching him.

"I'm now married, Ms. Cruz. What happened to us doesn't have any meaning at all. It was just sex....so please..."

That made me laugh. When I looked at his hand, he didn't have a ring on.

What a liar. I laughed to hide my embarrassment.

"I don't care if you don't believe me. Now, will you please stop?"

His face is so handsome! Who do you think is handsome? Well, he's really handsome. But is he the only handsome guy in this world?! Well, if he looks good, you'd think he'd be loved!

"Ughhhh!!! It's annoying!" I said in awe as I got ready to go to the bar where I worked.

"Oh, why do you look like you're on a bad trip?" Tonton, one of my coworkers, asked me.

I snapped him then rolled my eyes. "Stop it. This is their order."

He just grinned at me and nodded before taking the list. I waited a little while until that order was ready. He then gave me the customers' orders.

"Sir, Ma'am, please order." I smiled sweetly at them.

"Oh! Thank you, dear!"

I nodded to them. "Just hit the bell if you still need anything, Ma'am." Before I left them there.

I continued serving each table with different drinks and their orders. And when my shift was over, I took a deep breath. I looked at the clock and I saw that it's almost midnight already.

I've packed my things and got ready to leave.

"I'll go first, Ton." He just nodded at me and then I left the bar.

"Hey, I can finally sleep!" I said while waiting for the car outside.

"Eliyah?" I turned to the man who called my name, Justine Disero. My classmate.

I smiled at him. "Yes?"

He frowned as he clutched his car keys. "What are you doing here?"

"I work here. As a waitress." I noticed the surprise in her eyes.

"Do you need a ride?" He grinned.

That made me raise my eyebrows. "Where?"

He chuckled. "You wherever you want. In my car? Or with me?"

But I didn't laugh. When he noticed my serious face, he frowned. "Just kidding,"

But eventually I accepted his offer.
I had him drive me until we got to the bed space I was renting.

He frowned when he saw the house we stopped at. "Why did you get off here? This isn't your house, Eliyah."

I looked straightly into his eyes. "Do you want us to make out?" I asked, changing the subject.

He gulped. I didn't wait any longer. I unbuckled my seatbelt and immediately got on top of him and kissed him. I heard his growl but then kissed me back after a minute.

"Let's go to the back please..." He said while his eyes were still focused on my lips.

I laughed at him and gave him a kiss. "I'm tired. Next time. Thank you for the ride, by the way." I smirked as I went out of his car.

"Did you kiss that fucking Disero?" Professor Rex asked me when he called me to his office.

That made my forehead wrinkle. "Justine Disero, Prof?"

He clenched his jaw. "I don't fucking care about his name. Did you fucking kiss that Disero yesterday?"

Even though I was surprised, I still answered. "Yes? We made out yesterday...but we didn't go further--"

"Sit on my fucking lap and fucking kiss me." He said, surprising me.

My mouth dropped open because of the way he said it and the way he looked at me, as if I was not allowed to refuse. That I should obey him. And I couldn't understand myself why I didn't do anything else but let him. The kiss we shared turned into a delicious sex.

"Pack your clothes for a 3-day vacation. We're going to Batangas." The next day, he promised.

My eyes widened in excitement but were immediately cut off by my work. I couldn't.

"Uhmm, I can't." I said sadly.

His brows furrowed at me. "Why?"

"Because I have a job from Monday to Saturday--"

"Where?" He interrupted me.

I told him the name of the bar and his jaw clenched and his eyes darkened at me. He closed it tightly then sighed.

"I'll take care of it. Just pack your clothes for a 3-day vacation. We'll leave on Friday afternoon."

"Okay?" Then I giggled.

What happened to us in his office never happened again. We also ignored each other because we knew it was wrong. This is wrong. It is wrong for a student and a Professor to have a relationship. And I'm afraid not for me...but for him.

What if he loses his job? So as long as I can stop it, I will stop it.

Just as he said, we left for Batangas on Friday afternoon. We rode his car and we reached Batangas in the evening.

"Welcome Batangas! Whooa!" I shouted as Rex and I got out of his car.

I looked back at him and caught him shaking his head as he handed the keys to the valet. When he was done, he helped me into the hotel we were staying at.

He told me that we weren't going on vacation here. He needs to close a deal for their company. I was surprised to learn that he was rich and the heir to one of the most recognized companies in the country. Montello Incorporated.

"Do you think I can close the deal?" He asked while we were eating our dinner.

My eyes narrowed at him, assessing his abilities based on his body. "Of course!" I replied enthusiastically.

"Why do you feel like you're being forced?" He then chuckled.

And damn! It's so good to hear! I just want to lie down with him and listen to everything that comes out of his mouth.

Stop it, Elijah!

"Your only question is if you can close the deal? Of course you can! But I'm not sure if you'll be the one chosen for that deal? You get it?" At the same time, I giggled.

He shook his head at me, laughing. We continued eating until we fell asleep.

We slept side by side in the same bed that night. He hugged me tightly and even put his feet on me. Locking me to his body as we happily slept that night.

My head is on his chest so I always inhale his scent.

And fuck, his scent turns me on. He hasn't done anything yet but it has a different kind of effect on my body.

Because of that, I pressed myself even more into his body. Until we fell asleep.
