I couldn’t breathe.
He slid his palm upward on the curve of my neck.
His skin felt hot on mine, like fire.
“There is a water drop.” Aariz whispered as his finger caressed my racing pulse point, tracing the droplet.
My heart bounced erratically.
Aariz cocked his head, focusing, as if lost on my throat where he caressed the drops, “You are still so drenched. You might catch a cold.”
“Then why does your hand feel so warm?” I whispered to myself.
Apparently, he heard me.
Smirking he met my gaze, “It’s not my hand that’s hot Sani. It’s...” He stopped and just stared at me meaningfully, expecting me to understand what he wanted to say. I did. Just couldn’t bring myself to believe it.
Aariz’s gaze dropped to my lips and stayed there. Before I could breath, he got a little startled seeing something behind me. Whoever he saw, made him immediately take his hand off my neck.
“You should pin it, just in case it falls off again.” He muttered and stood up.
I turned around, but saw no one nearby.
“Can I go for a walk please? Everyone must be wrapping up the game. They will be coming here to eat now and I’m in no mood for lunch. Please.”
I needed to get away from him to clear
my head.
God knows what was happening to me. Aariz’s closeness...His care...His touch was making my heartbeat go haywire. It was getting difficult to breath. I knew if I did not go away now, I might just end up going in his arms or kissing him raw...Oh no! No! Stop it Sani! Just walk away.
Aariz remained silent. Just staring at me non-stop.
God...How much time will he take to allow me to get away from him? Is he trying to kill me with desire or what!
“Alright. But don't go too far.” Aariz's tone warmed me just like his smile.
Finally! I would get a few moments of loneliness and sanity. Unlike the thoughts, I had been having of taking advantage of this hot piece of flesh called Professor.
On our way back home in the bus, Mirelle and I were sitting on the seat behind Aariz.
Co-incidentally, not on purpose mind you! Of course if I had to on purpose, I would have sat with him, not behind, don't you think?
On the other hand, even better, I would have just sat on his lap and...
For the last time, stop it brain! You are swimming in all hearts-romance- desires bubble for a Prof!
Damn! What is happening to me?!
Aariz was sitting by the window and so was I behind him. Suddenly as the bus jerked, I felt something thrown on my lap. It was a big bar of chocolate and its wrapper opened.
I did not know who threw it.
Next moment my phone chimed with a text from Aariz,
‘Please eat that chocolate Sani. I have thrown it for you. You did not eat anything today. At least eat the chocolate. I have already opened it, so you don't have to tear it by your ointment clad hands. Just hold it by the wrapper and eat it please. And if you want more, let me know.’
Who needs chocolate after this?!
