DANGEROUS AFFAIRS WITH MY PROFESSOR.
Chapter 20.
Author’s Pov.
Elena walked out of the lecture room with Mira by her side.
“How was today’s lecture for you?” she inquired from Mira and Mira shrugged.
“I think I quite understand the course now, thanks to you for giving me proper tutorials all this while.” she ended it with a giggle.
Elena smiled, hugging her book to her body and they walked towards the school gate in silence.
“How is Mr Dante treating you now?” Mira asked after a while and a smile crept its way to Elena’s lips.
“He gave me a tour of his house yesterday, and it's a great memory to behold.”
“Wow! I definitely do not need anyone to tell mr that he is being nice to you already. Tell me how huge is his house?”
“50 rooms in total. An all-outdoor game house, a cinema, and a five-star bar.”
“That's a lie!” Mira exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.
“I know right.”
“Wow… do you think being a lecturer earned him such fortune?”
“I doubt Mira. That man is stinking rich!”
“I won't be doubting it, if you are seeing it that way.”
“I know right?”
“How did the tour thingy go?”
Elena smiled happily and and Mira shot her a side glare.
“You are acting In love,” Mira noted out and Elena’s face suddenly changed into a frown.
“Snap out of that Mira, what do you even know about love?”
“Coming from a person who hasn't had her first kiss.” Mira teased and chuckled.
Elena went still for a while, recalling that she already had her first kiss, she wondered if it was right to tell Mira all that had been happening.
“Well, I am not in love okay…. Humph!” she rolled her eyeballs.
Mira smiled at Elena’s back and she walked away faking anger.
They got to the gate and Mira asked yet again.
“I hope he isn't asking you to walk this time?”
She shook her head negatively.
“He gave me some Cash to get a taxi. And it might even last me for weeks.”
“Wow…. You know I am really glad you are both getting along.” Mira smiled genuinely.
“Have you asked for your proper result? Mira inquired after a while and Elena stilled biting on her lower lips, as it dawned on her that she had not talked to him about it all this while.
Mira scoffed and smacked Elena’s head.
“Ouch”Elena winched painfully.
“When I say you are inlove you dear not say a word again. How can you not ask for your proper mark all this while? I doubt if you want to graduate a valedictorian again.”
Elena pouted softly.
“Do you always have to act the mother? Argh. I will get the score okay? And you don't have to worry, He won't stop being sweet.”
“You wish!” Mira rolled her eyeballs “You better get your acts together before he stops being this sweet..”
“Noted!” Elena chuckled and side-hugged Mira. They both giggled for a while trying to catch a taxi….
Mira noticed that Elena’s mood was kind of offed and she seemed nervous.
“Is everything okay?” She asked and Elena looked up at her. She shook her head looking all innocent and Mira immediately asked worriedly.
“What's it, Elena..”
“Could you help me get a.…. Please?”
Mira’s eyes opened widely.
“You are not getting shit Elena and where the fuck is that idea coming from.” she declined not asking why Elena needed it.
“Come on Mira, don't be this strict.”
“No Lina. I am the one with the shitty life okay? You are not getting yourself into that life, stay just as you are.
Elena heaved a sigh and turned her face angrily. Why was it so hard for her to always get the things she desired? If only she could step out of Dante’s house, or even know the road to any mall.
***********
Elena walked into the living room after using the card.
She stopped at the sight of Sir Dante sitting admist the dark with a magazine in his hand, how was he not in his room? And how was he reading without light?
“Are you staring at a ghost?” he asked dropping the magazine and Elena cleared her throat.
“Good afternoon. It's just unusual seeing you here.”
Dante smirked and stared at her admist the dark, “I choose to go anywhere I please right?”
“Right.” she nodded in realization.
“Now that you are home, I will leave for my room.” he stood up and made to leave.
“Were you waiting for me?” her voice laced with excitement and he smiled admist the dark.
“Yes.”
Elena felt her heart flutter. He was waiting for her. She happily took a step closer to him and they walked closer to the elevator.
“Ain't you going to ask about my day?” she asked staring up at him in the elevator but he only scoffed and rolled his eyes at her.
