Forbidden Love Affair (Professor/student)

Chapter Three - Losing track of time

Amaya’s P.O.V

“I should really get back, exhausted after travelling and that today.” I said as Joe and I walked around the town

Coffee turned into dinner…dinner turned into hanging out and him showing me around the place. In amongst all that? There was a lot of talk about music and flirting too…a lot of flirting. I couldn’t help myself he was gorgeous, funny, sweet and charming, there would be something wrong with me if I wasn’t attracted to him.

“I never realised it was this late.” He laughed

It was nearly one a.m., everywhere was closed, and there was barely a soul in sight. It was nice though, peaceful and gave us a chance to walk around without anyone getting in our way.

“Me neither but thanks for today, for your help and your company. I was nervous about coming here…new College, new people and a new town but you have made it a lot easier for me.” I said reaching up, placing a soft kiss on his cheek

“Anytime…I have a good day too.” He smiled at me

He had such a beautiful smile, it was enough to make me swoon over him. There was many things about him that can make me swoon. What happened to me saying I was staying away from guys? Oh well, that was before I met this sexy man.

“Good.” I smiled at him

“Come on then I will walk you back to the campus.” He smiled, placing his hand on the small of my back, the simple touch enough to make me shiver

“Ok.” I said keeping a hold of myself

It was a good thing he had offered to walk me back because I would honestly have no clue how to get back since we have been walking around for a while, we could be miles away from Campus for all I know. I shivered slightly, the air was getting cooler, I was getting cold and I never even brought a hoodie or a coat with me, sort of my own stupid fault then uh? Suddenly he stopped and I done the same, Joe soon removing his jacket from his body, handing it to me

“Here wear that, I seen you shivering which means you are cold.” He laughed “I can handle the cold.” He added smiling at me

I took it from him pulling it on, it was way too big for me but I never minded, meant it would keep me nice and work

“Thank You, such a gentleman.” I said zipping it all the way up

“I try…” he laughed

Joe and I chatted as he walked me back to Campus, it took a good forty minutes to do so. He made sure he walked me right to my dorm room door

“Thank you for walking me home.” I smiled leaning against the door

“You are very welcome, would never dream of making you walk home alone.” He said standing in front of me, hands stuffed in his jeans pocket

“Um…so what are the chances of me seeing you again? I have enjoyed my time with you very much.” I said nervously

“Very high…” he said, his voice sounding off

“You don’t seem very pleased with that thought?” I asked curious

“No I don’t mean it like that at all…it is hard to explain.” He said looking at the ground

What was he not telling me? Then again I have not even known him a day, he doesn’t really need to telling me anything

“OK…” I said still confused

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. He leant in, placing a kiss on my cheek

“I will see you soon.” He said giving me a small smile

“Joe it is OK if you don’t wanna see me again, just tell me that. I am a big girl I can take it.” I said

He was not being honest with me, that was clear to see but if he doesn’t want to see me again then he needs to man up and tell me that, he doesn’t need to make excuses to try make me feel better. I am not some fragile thing that can’t handle rejection, it happens not a big deal

“Honestly Amaya it is not…” he said “I swear.” He added

“Then what is it? You have got very nervous suddenly.” I said

“It is nothing, I am being silly.” He said laughing

I never bought it, it was something but I decided to let it drop. I was not one of those needy types, never really have been, don’t plan on starting to be either

“OK.” I said shrugging

“Give me your phone, I will put my number in it and you can give me a text or something if you like.” He smiled

I nodded, taking my phone out of my jean pocket and handed it to him, Joe putting his number in it and handing me it back, telling me to ring his phone and hang up, that way he has my number too.

“I better get home, text me later OK?” He said

“OK.” I replied

I slipped his jacket off from my body, handing it back to him before I forgot to give him it back. He gave me a quick hug and a peck on the cheek before he headed off. I headed inside, ready for bed, it had been a busy day for sure. I got into my PJS, grabbing something to drink before going to my bed which still had to made up since I have not had a chance to do much today. Everything else can wait until tomorrow. I quickly made my bed up, climbing into it.

I grabbed my phone, deciding to text Joe only to make sure he got home OK since it was late, you don’t know who is about at this time.

Amaya: hey just checking in to make sure you got home safe?

Joe: Hey yes I did, just in the door. Thanks for checking in. What you doing?

Amaya: Good. Nothing, just got into bed.

Joe: Yes heading there myself too soon

Amaya: OK. Well I am gonna get settled for the night. Talk you soon?

Joe: Yes talk soon…promise. Goodnight beautiful. Thank you for your company xx

Amaya: Looking forward to it. Goodnight. You too and for all your help, it is much appreciated it xx

I smiled sitting my phone aside. He called me beautiful, maybe he does want to see me again, but I don’t know, will find out and to be honest I need to concentrate more on classes than anything else. It took a lot of time and effort for me to get here. I was not sure if I would be able to sleep to be honest, being in a strange place and alone to be honest. I do have a roommate called Sarah but she wasn’t getting here for a couple of days, hopefully she is a nice person and not a b***h cause that would make this not very good if I never got on with her.

I had a few days until classes which would give me time to get everything sorted out, find my way around and get everything I need for classes, because still have some things I need to pick up but I can worry about all that tomorrow. I switched the light off, closing my eyes, hoping I would get some sleep…hoping tomorrow was a good day like today.
