Walking silently beside Lucas was torture, I could feel the heat radiate off him as I attempted to remain calm, I was going to his house, he's going to make me coffee and lend me clothes. Fuck. How the hell have I got myself into this, it’s not safe to be alone with him, god damn Its lizzie it’s not safe because you know you won't be able to control yourself.
Continuing the internal argument on reasons why I should not be left alone with Mr Davey I sneak a quick glance to my left, gasping to find him already watching me.
"Thinking about anything important” His smirk is etched onto his face as he stops walking. Oh god, he knows I was thinking about him, he always seems to know what I'm thinking. Sometimes I doubt he's even human, he always knows way too much.
"I asked you a question Lizzie" I gulp at his authoritative tone, where the hell has my voice gone.
"e..er..not really, no" my face heats up from his glare
"You know I can tell when you are lying to me lizzie, I thought we could have a lovely day where you'd be a good girl for me, but here we are with you failing to answer a question when first asked and give a deceitful answer, tut tut Miss Sevenfold, I expected better" I feel myself shrink beside him, he was already mocking me! here I was thinking the cold teacher I first met had been replaced, oh how wrong I was, finally seeing his true colours.
"I. I’m sorry sir" Why was it that I couldn't say what I truly wanted to say? I couldn't walk away and tell him to leave me alone, oh yeah that's right because 1, he is your teacher, and 2 you are attracted to him.
"You're sorry? what did I say to you on the first day we met? do you Remember lizzie because I certainly do. I told you that you answer me when spoken to, and when I asked if you understood, you said yes. Clearly you didn't" His tone is playful, almost as if he was attempting to get a reaction out of me, fine. If he wants to play it this way, I shall play him at his own game.
"Well maybe you should help me understand then, sir" He's eyes immediately darken by at least three shades as he takes a single step closer to me.
"Is that an invitation Miss Sevenfold?" He's voice is low and quiet yet somehow it manages to send shivers down my spine.
"An invitation or a challenge, you choose" Somehow managing to keep my voice steady I hold my head up high, not wanting this sudden boldness to slip and show the nerves below
"Wait here for me, I'll be two seconds I'll just go find you some clothes" Not even daring to attempt to speak right now I slowly nod my head, earning yet another smirk from Lucas, of course he knew I would be speechless right now,
As I wait for him to return I glance around at his hallway, for some reason I expected it to be plain and boring, yet the decorations were warm, the complete opposite of him.
"here you go" Mr Davey walks back into the hallway, looking happy with himself as he holds up to dark items of clothing "Bathroom is first door on the left at the top of the stairs" I carefully take the clothes from his grasp, thanking him as I begin to walk up the stairs.
"Maybe I'll show you just how Intend to win you challenge, Oh and Miss Sevenfold? Don't keep me waiting, we both know how inpatient I am when I want something" I take one last look at Mr Davey before continuing on my ascension up the stairs.
What they hell have I got myself into.
