My Professor's Bloody Desire

Chapter 3 - Be Careful; I might Marry You

The next day, I went to school before lunch because my first class starts at 11:00 AM. My parents fixed my schedule for me, and they arranged it in a way that my classes in a day only have 5-10 minutes vacant. They know that I am the type who prefer to do things alone and be home early. Especially now that I am starting a new life and trying to find new friends.

I tapped my ID in the RFID sensor while the guard checks the things in my bag. I was about to walk away after he finished scanning my bag when the discipline officer blocked my way. My heart raced from the thought that I offended any violation.

"Your skirt is too short." My jaw dropped when a middle-aged woman spoke after looking at me from head to toe. I checked my skirt myself and I think it's not that short. I look around to see the length of other girls' skirts. Theirs are shorter.

"It should be at most 2 inches above the knee." I bite my lower lip because I can't find any excuse. On my second day, I already had a violation. I nodded and accepted the white slip that she handed me.

"What is the sanction for first offense?" I asked nicely. She gave me a ballpen and pointed out the paper that I'm holding.

"Oral warning for the first offense. Let's make it clear, Ms..." She looked at my ID before continuing. "Vallera, that the offense you committed is under Category 1 section 3.1 Not following the required uniform. If you commit other offenses under Category 1 Section 3, you will have to spend an afternoon in the detention room. For the third time, your parents will be summoned to discuss about your suspension or community service." She stopped talking to block the way of group of men who were about to pass the guard. The buttons of their polo shirts are loose.

"Fill this out while I talk with them." From the way she talks, it's obvious that they have previous encounter. They look untamed and they are for sure the students who use power and money to survive in this environment.

This is bad. I got an offense on my second day here. After filling up the form, I raised my head to search for the discipline officer, but my jaw dropped when rather than her, I saw the bloodcurdling professor talking to her. His eyes are intently looking at me while his right hand is inside his pocket.

I don't understand why simply looking at him gives me goosebumps. His jaw moved making him look pissed. When the DO looked at me, I gave her a nice smile as I handed the form. I am not as nice as I look, but I'll try to avoid unnecessary fights while I'm here.

"Make sure to wear uniform that follows the standard, Ms. Vallera. You may now go inside." I bite my lower lip after I said sorry. I looked at the guy next to her.

"Good morning, sir." I greeted him with a big smirk and shaking hands. I was going to turn around so I can walk away from them when he called my name.

"Hermosa.." There was something in the way he called me. I try to wear a nice smile when I faced him.

"Yes, sir?"

Those eyes became red again, and it's too odd to consider this a hallucination. I might be delusional if it's not real. He walked to my direction making me more nervous. I don't exactly like him, but every part of my body says that I'm attracted to this guy.

"You are under a probation because you are a new student. Do you plan to get kicked out from this university on your first month?" His voice was low and dangerous. He showed a smile, but that only frightened me more.

"N-no, sir," I replied.

"Then why are you wearing such a short skirt? The rules here are different from the foreign country where you came from. Act accordingly." He scanned me from head to toe before gritting his teeth. My breathing went fast when he turned around. How can he imply such fear to me? And how did he know that I came from a foreign country? I watched him walk to the direction of Science Department. His physique is so perfect, and the way he speaks is intelligent. If he's not a professor, I would try making a move.

The next day, he came in to the room at exactly 10:30 in the morning. Everyone was observing his every move. When I look at Alicia, I saw her looking down to her desk. Why is she so afraid of this professor?

"Good morning, everyone." He casually said as he put his things on the professor's table in front. We greeted him back, but he didn't lift his head to even look at us. He set up his laptop, and I heard the girls at my back murmuring their admiration for the man in front.

"He's single, ladies." Andrea giggled when Mr. King spoke again. He lifted his head for the first time, and our eyes met. My heart palpitated for a while, but thankfully I was able to withdraw my eyes from that eye contact. My guts can't be wrong. He's a very dangerous person.

"A lot of you didn"t take the activity last Monday. Great beginning." He said sarcastically. I took the quiz and got 5/20. That's as good as not taking it at all. He's petrifying us all, and I am wondering if he's aware of that.

My eyes focused on the thing flashed in the white board in front. We are going to have a new lesson today, and I just hope that he won't give any take home activity again.

He discussed the lesson like everything is in his head. One more thing is surprising about him. He already knew us all by name. In the part when he gives board activity, he called my classmates by surname without looking at the class list. I don't know if I will be impressed or scared. He's no doubt a genius.

"Ms. Vallera..." Was it just my imagination when he called my name sensually? Is it just my dirty mind giving meaning to the way he called me? I stood, but Alicia held my hand before I could go take my first step to the board.

"Don't look at him in the eyes." She whispered as she gave a smile. Why? She said that last meeting too. Does she really have a crush on him? I shrugged my shoulder to shake off the thought. Liking him must be normal. Afterall, he wears confidence and charm all over him.

He handed me the board marker and for the first time, I saw him smile. My jaw dropped, but I remained standing in front of him. My heart skipped a beat, and that's a strange feeling for me.

I don't understand why this heart is reacting this way. I like his manly perfume, his controlled reactions and that sexy smile right now.

When I pulled myself together, I realized that my classmates are giving me weird looks especially the girls. They might think I'm trying to flirt with this professor. No way. Being conflicted with them just because of this man is the last thing in my list.

The equation assigned to me is easy, so it only took me less than 3 minutes to solve it. While writing the answer, my hands are shaking as I can feel his stare from behind. Why do I feel so much for him?

"Very good..." That compliment earned a big wow from the class. The problem I solved was not that hard compared to the ones that my classmates solved, but I still received his compliment. Somehow, it made me blush but I still didn't bother looking at his eyes at all.

"He has a crush on you." One of the girls commented when I went back to my seat. I don't want to get too excited with that thought. What he said must be plainly for the purpose of complimenting me. They are jumping into conclusion too early.

After his class, my new found friends asked me to join them in the Blue Sapphire Restaurant. That restaurant is famous among the college students because it is near the Engineering Department and the vibe is light.

As expected, there are many people inside when we went in. This isn't like a normal restaurant because every corner of this place screams elegance and money. Even when I was in US, the usual place where I ate was not this cozy. I am enchanted by how much people is willing to pay for a single meal.

"It's my treat today." Alicia said when the waiter went to our table. I don't feel like I am still new to this friendship because they treat me equally. Are they just being courteous to not make me feel left out.

We were in the middle of our meal when a man entered. He caught almost everyone's attention inside, and I hate it. Even I can't take my eyes off him. I noticed Alicia turned around to avoid Mr. Vladimir's gaze to our table.

"I bet you have the biggest crush on him." I told her when we resumed eating. They all look at her, and she acted shock with what I said.

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Why? It isn't that impossible to like him. Or is it just me? But I swear there is something with the way she looks at him.

"If you only find out who he really is, you won't be able to ask that silly..." She stopped whatever she was about to say when the man we were talking about sat in the table next to us. It was far enough to not hear our conversation, but Alicia acted as if he heard us and she's embarrassed of what she just said.

A group of ladies sat with him, and he didn't show any violent reaction to that. He gladly smiled and enteratained the girls who look like his students. My heart is fussing in dismay. He must be just naturally friendly to his students.

That was what I want to believe in, but I caught him looking at our way several times before we headed out of that restaurant. I tried not to be distracted, but those eyes are sending me shivers.

He was our professor in the last class that afternoon. I gathered my things five minutes before the dismissal time. He looked at me using those furious eyes when he noticed what I was doing. King Axel Vladimir surely hides something behind those stares. Why is he always looking at me? Why me?

"Class dismissed. You may go except Hermosa Vallera. I need you to stay." He said those words like it is a command that I have no right to disobey.

My friends looked at me with disbelief. It's as if they confirmed something they have been expecting. Fear is almost eating me up, and I don't like the feeling.

He remained seated in the seat for professor in front. I gathered all my strength before going to him. I flashed a smile, but before I could utter a word, he already flooded my mind with things that confuse me more.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He deliberately asked. My jaw dropped and I don't know if I should answer that. Is he even being serious?

"I am asking if you have a boyfriend." He repeated without breaking the eye contact. I felt like I was being hypnotized, like I can't tell a lie even that's what I want to do because I am scared of his intention for asking that.

"No, sir." I answered with a smile. With my best effort, I tried to remain composed.

"Good." He said arrogantly before getting his laptop bag and going out of that room. He left me speechless. My heart is still pounding so fast when the door opened again. He went inside and reached for something under his table. His face was so close to mine but I can't even move. I felt his hot breath in my face and his eyes were looking down to my lips.

I was catching my breath when he stood straight then he turned off the aircon. When he placed back the remote under the table, I stepped back to give us some distance. There should be no affection between a student and professor.

"Why are you still standing there?" He asked like he found me weird. I am struck by what he said.

"Why did you ask if I have a boyfriend?" He smirked and walked towards me.

"Stop right there... s-sir." I uttered when he kept moving closer to me.

"I hate that you're excited to leave my class. Next time I catch you..." His head tilted as if was about to say something playful. Those dark eyes went down to my neck.

"What will you do?"

The corner of his lips went up for a smile like he was having so much fun watching my reaction. This must be a prank. Does he find me funny. I honestly don't understand what he's doing.

"Hmm.." My face flushed when he pouted as if he was thinking carefully.

"Let's see what I can do next time. Be careful; I might marry you." He turned his back and went out of the room directly.

For the whole night, I was thinking about him. It might be a scam. Damn him.
