Dangerous affairs with my professor.
Author’s Pov.
Chapter 53.
Dante stared at Elena quite obstructed. The room had gone into some kind of grave mood, silence clogging the air that they breathed.
Elena pressed against him, standing straight to have a proper view of his face. She placed her hands on his cheeks staring into his avoiding gaze.
“Look at me Dante,” she whispered in a tone enough to spill out every truth, but was he ready for this? He needed to be sure. Loving Elena meant going way back into the game he had stepped away from 10 years ago, cause there is no love for him if he can not explore the entire world with the woman he loves. And there is no protection out there if he isn't in the game. They knew how to get him, the best way to get him was to get her. Was he ready for all of that drama? Was he ready to see her hurting? He definitely wasn't. Was he really inlove with her, or did he just grow fond of her in lust?
“Look at me,” Elena whispered, yet again trying to gaze into his eyes.
Dante’s hand found her wrist and he held onto it, dropping a few kisses down her hands.
“I am sorry Lina. But I need more time to figure out what and how I feel about us.”
Elena felt a sharp pain across her chest, her eyes suddenly lost all the sparks and hopes they held. Her grip on his cheeks loosened but she forced out a smile either way, what was she expecting? That he fell in love with her? Out of all the girls in the world, her? He definitely couldn't happen.
Dante’s grip tightened around her wrist and he kissed her cheeks.
“Please, Lina. Do not take this the wrong way, I just need to be sure, I really do not want to drag you into any of my mess.”
Elena forced a smile that came out as a Mimi scoff. She didn't even know what she felt for him, yet she wanted him to be in love. How could it even be possible? He had dragged her into his mess by making her addicted to taking his cock. Oh! She reframed! She had dragged herself into the mess by running to him like he was her only option.
Dante’s eyes held hers, he could see the end of the sparkles as they flicked away from her eyes. It felt so piercing and he felt like running his hands into his hair then scolding himself for hurting her this bad. Was she inlove with him?
“Do you want some ice cream?” he asked bringing the awkward silence to a halt and Elena shook her head gently.
“I would rather just be in my room.
“I could come...”
“You don't have to... I will be fine.” she cuts him off raising a hand also.
Dante nodded softly and watched as she drifted away from his grip, he felt as though he was losing her. The feel! Her energy, her cologne, everything stayed with him. She walked out and shut the door behind herself leaning on it for a while before striding off.
*****
The next day.
Elena had arrived at school. She had one lecture today and she didn't plan on staying longer after the lecturers.
Elena was seated on the bench at the east string of the school campus. She had left home earlier cause she didn't want to see more of Dante and be reminded of the previous day, but now that she was in school, it felt way deeper trying to fight her emotions, every part of this school reminded her of her befriend, the moment when they both sat down here to chill and have ice creams. She ran her fingers into her hair and breathed softly.
It's been a week yet it felt like forever without her best friend. Perhaps she really wasn't meant to have anyone next to her. Her mother sure started the whole trait, she left and gave every other person the room to leave her as time went on. Thinking about it at the time kind of hit deep for her, she didn't even realize when the tears slipped out of her cheeks.
“Here.” A hand stretched Forth a white handkerchief to her and she stared up with teary eyes to meet Mira.
Her heart flipped.
“Thank you.” she took the handkerchief and wept away her tears.
“I got us ice cream.” Mira handed the Ice cream over and Elena took it with gratitude.
“Weren't you supposed to reject it?” Mira cracked and Elena licked on the streaming fluids.
“I would need to calm my nerves down before figuring out what exactly to do to you.”
They both chuckled softly and slowly the hard chuckle turned softer and softer till it faded away. They soon settled into the serenity the silence sent forth, and for a while, it felt like they were both not sitting right next to each other.
“I am sorry.” Mira finally voiced out and Elena felt that feeling overwhelming her, she shut her eyes trying to keep the tears abyss but they were way more stubborn than her father.
“I thought you left.” her voice cracked.
Mira felt a pang of guilt, she stared up In the sky then turned to face Elena.
“I never left Lina. I would never leave. Come here.” she beckoned spreading her hands wild and Elena fell into her arms, sobbing softly while Mira just patted gently on her back, letting her cry.
They remained in that position for about five minutes before Elena decided that it was time she wrapped the tears up
“I am sorry Lina. I didn't mean to hurt you.” she palmed Elena’s cheeks gazing into her eyes with sincerity.
“I should have told you.” Elena sobbed.
“No Lina. I should have understood you. You weren't used to it, you had never had sex let alone share your sexcaped, it would be so hard spilling every bit of the details.”
“Well, now I am ready. I am ready to tell you everything Mira, as long as that would keep you by my side.”
“I won't force you, Lina. I want you to be ready.”
Elena looked down on her hands and then exhaled a sigh.
“I don't know what this is Mira, but I think I am in love with Dante”
