Crap. Now Professor Hunter knew I had a sort of date.
Professor Hunter looked down at his paper and tilted his head a little to the left. He wanted to hear what I had to say. It was the first time all day he had acknowledged my existence.
"Don't be late, I have a class at two," I said.
"I wouldn't dare." Tyler laughed and walked out of the back door of the classroom.
I stayed seated. My heart rate was accelerating. When the class had emptied, Professor Hunter turned and put his papers into his satchel.
"I'm sorry about the other night, Miss Taylor. I was out of line." He still wasn't looking at me, just fumbling with his notes.
"I'm not sorry."
He shook his head back and forth. "You don't need to be, it was my mistake."
"I mean that I'm not sorry that it happened."
Sitting in that desk made him look just like a student. Why couldn't he have just been a student? He finally turned his head to look at me. He looked angry. For some reason I could tell he wasn't mad at me though. He was angry at himself.
"Enjoy your lunch date, Miss Taylor. I will see you in class on Friday." He abruptly stood up and walked away.
I wanted to get up and walk with him, but something kept me in my chair. I gulped. There was something about that anger in his eyes. I suddenly felt extremely cold. The realization hit me hard. This wasn't a game. Flirting with him wasn't the same as it was with guys my own age. Professor Hunter had an air of danger around him. He was intriguing because he terrified me.
Temptation - Chapter 17
Wednesday
Tyler and I met outside Russell Dining hall at 12:30, which was a horrible mistake on cheese steak day. The line was already ridiculously long.
"Hey."He gave me a big hug.
"We better get in line," I said and pulled away.
We went into the dining hall and stepped into the back of the line.
Tyler turned to me. "Wanna play 21 questions?"
"Yeah, sure. You can go first."
"Okay. Why did you agree to have lunch with me?"
I laughed. "Because your persistence is charming. Why did you want to have lunch with me?"
"Well isn't that obvious? Because I like you. You're cute and funny, and you can be pretty assertive when you need to be."
I cringed. "I'm sorry about kneeing you in the crotch."
"Ha, I deserved it. Please. Next question. How many boyfriends have you had?"
"One. No. Well, yes. But not really..."
He laughed. "Simple question."
Why did I agree to play this game?!"It's a complicated answer."
"Fair enough. Your turn."
"How many girlfriends have you had?"
