Professor F novel Chapter 23

August just got home from her night shift after Keith walked her home. He was such a very gentle and shy guy. And she met Ruth, his girlfriend who is a Biology major when she went to the coffee shop and waited for Keith. She was the exact opposite of him. She was very outgoing and outspoken and they clicked immediately.

"How's Ruth?" She asked Keith.

"She's fine. She keeps asking about you, you know. She really likes you." He smiled shyly.

"I like her, too. She's fun. Does she plan on coming over this week?"

"No. She's actually attending a student conference next week so she's pretty busy that's why she didn't visit for the past week. She sends her regards by the way."

"Send her mine." They finally reached her apartment. She said goodbye and went up.

She saw Flynn waiting by the door of her place. He smiled as soon as he saw her. She opens the door and they both went in.

As soon as the door closes, Flynn puts his arm over her shoulder and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "How's work?"

"It's fine. How long have you been waiting?" She asked as she placed her bag on the couch and sits beside him.

"Not long and I cooked dinner. Are you hungry?"

"Starving." She kissed his lips. "Why were you waiting outside? I gave you a key, right?"

"Just excited to see you. I would've waited for you at the coffee shop and walked you home. But…”

She glared at him.

"Alright. I wasn't saying anything." He raised both of his hands in the air. "By the way, I was wondering if you have any plans this weekend."

She thinks for a moment. "I don't have any tutoring job yet. Why?"

"Would you like to come with me in New York?"

"What's in New York?"

"Just some job."

"You have another job while teaching?" She didn't know about this.

"Yes. It was a job I got before I started teaching, working on some projects with engineers in a firm in New York." He explained.

She nodded. "And they still hired you even though you're a full time professor?"

"Yeah." He cleared his throat. "I visit the site twice a month or if needed for any major changes or meeting the directors. That's why sometimes I had to skip classes. Pearsons is very supportive when it comes to projects like this. It’s also a good way to be up to date in the industry. You know, knowing the trends. They love to see their staff being involved in projects like this one."

"Must be a very important project." She said as she sits on his lap and placed her hands on his broad chest.

He took a deep breath and exhaled softly. "You can say that. We're working on a new airport in New York."

"What?!"

"We're working on a new airport in New York."

"I heard that." She snorted.
