"I guess we weren't supposed to meet until now," I replied.
"I take it you're a believer in fate then?"
I nodded. "And you?"
He took a step closer to me. "I don't know what I believe. But I know what I want."
I was about to ask him what he wanted, but I didn't need to. I stopped breathing as he stared at me with his intense brown eyes. He wanted me. Again.
He was making me so nervous. "I'm going to be late for my next class, Professor Hunter."
"I'm not stopping you."
But he was stopping me. When he looked at me like that I couldn't move. I just wanted to enjoy having his eyes on me.
"Why are you so dressed up?" I couldn't resist the temptation to ask him. He looked like he was dressed for another date with the mystery woman from his office. If he was hiding a girlfriend, I could hide my age.
"I have a work function after I'm done classes today."
"Oh?"
He lifted up his arm and looked at his watch. "You don't want to be late, Miss Taylor. And neither do I." He smiled at me, shoved his hands in his pockets, and casually strolled out the door.
He was being so secretive. I couldn't help but feel jealous of the mystery woman as I quickly tried to make it to my next class on time.
Temptation - Chapter 23
Wednesday
I walked up to Grottos' entrance and found Tyler leaning against the wall outside and looking at his phone.
"Hey," I said.
He smiled up at me and shoved his phone in his pocket. He put his arm out for me. I laughed and put my arm through his, and he escorted me into the restaurant.
"Table for two," he said to the hostess.
"Right this way," she replied.
We followed her to a table and I sat down and picked up the menu.
"What kind of pizza do you like?" Tyler asked.
"I guess I really don't need to look at this," I laughed and put the menu down. "Cheese. I always order just cheese."
"Sounds good to me."
When the waitress came over I ordered a cherry Coke and Tyler ordered a Sprite and a large cheese pizza.
"So," Tyler said and scooted forward a bit on his chair. "I guess I'm going to have to figure out the answer to the question I passed on."
"Hmmm?"
"You had asked me what I want to do after I graduate. I'm going to need to figure that out for our next speech."
"Oh, right!" I smiled. "What did you say your major was again?" I should have already known the answer from class today, but I hadn't been paying attention.
"Do you always daydream during Comm?"
