Professor F novel Chapter 60

August was in deep thought while leaning on the wall inside the kitchen when Tanner came in carrying the tray of used cups and tissues. "Hey, are you okay, August?"

She stands straight and faced him, feeling embarrassed that she was caught doing nothing while at work. "I—I'm fine."

"I think I saw Professor Ferguson." They both stepped out of the kitchen.

She nodded at Tanner and blushed when she saw Flynn walking towards counter wearing his running clothes. He nodded at her when their eyes met.

The staff seem to have understood what arrangements she has his Flynn—walking her home from work and her workmates never got the chance of walking her home since that day Flynn agreed to walk her home.

She was walking next to him while he silently drinks his iced coffee. She discreetly watched him but he seem to have noticed her stolen glances. They reached the apartment complex when he finally asked. "Is there something you wanna ask?"

"Uh—" She was surprised, blushing as she clasped her hands together while waiting for the elevators. "N—Nothing. I was just wondering—" She tried her best to come up with an excuse. She can't just tell him about what she heard from those girls at the cafe and how her doubts corrupted her mind right after.

He was waiting for her to finish her sentence as they continue to walk. She smiled nervously, still unable to come up with an excuse. "August?"

Then she remembered Thanksgiving is coming up! She's going to spend it with her parents back home. "W—Where will you be spending Thanksgiving?"

Flynn sips on her drink before answering her. "At the apartment. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving."

"Oh. I just assumed you may have adapted the tradition—sorry. Anyway, I—I'm leaving this Sunday for the Thanksgiving break so—"

He nodded as they stepped inside the elevator with the other residents. He seem to look uninterested she felt a little off. They stood next to each other in the corner. Her eyes widened and her cheeks went red when he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Have fun with your parents. I'll wait until you get back."

She nodded. Flynn then reaches out to hold her hand in his while stepping out of the lift until they reached her front door. "G—Goodnight." She whispered after she opened the door with her key.

"Goodnight, princess." He kissed her forehead but he still seem cold.

She sighed as she closed the door behind her. She'll be leaving with this heavy heart and doubts. She was about to step away from the door when she heard a soft knock on her door.

She opened it and saw Flynn standing there, his eyes looking away as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "C—Can I stay for the night?"

She felt weird. He doesn't really need to ask permission about staying overnight at her apartment. "S—Sure." She opened the door wider and let him walk inside despite feeling weird about what's going on.

She drops her things on the couch and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. "I'll just take a quick shower—" She said as she opens the shower and puts her right hand under the water to check the temperature when she felt Flynn's arms hugging her waist from behind.

"F—Flynn."

"I will miss you." He whispered as he gently kissed her neck.

"It's just a week so—" She tried to calm her nerves. Is this why he's acting weird all of a sudden?

His hug tightened around her waist and he turned her face with his hand to meet his kiss. She took a deep breath when his hand explored her skin under her shirt. "Let's take a shower together." He whispered and started to strip their clothes.

She gasped when she felt his warm skin against her nakedness.
