Professor F novel Chapter 87

"I think it's best not to talk about people who aren't with us tonight." Flynn butts in.

"I'm sorry." Eunice uttered as she lowered her gaze and continued eating.

Dinner went well after that awkward moment conversation about her past with Flynn. She's curious though about Eunice knowing about Liam. Did Flynn tell her?

They were walking towards the entrance when Flynn called her name as he gently grabbed her hand. "Can we talk... alone?"

She looked at Gabi who was waiting for her by the entrance and saw how she abruptly pulled her hand from Flynn's grasp. As if she understood what's going on, she volunteered to drive Charlie back to the building to get his car. "I'll head back to the dormitory after dropping him off. Stay out late and I won't bother calling you to go home this time!" Gabi gave them a thumbs up before she leaves for the door with Charlie.

She wanted to suck the air out of her friend for saying those things in front of Flynn! She's like whoring her to him.

Eunice also said goodbye to both of them. "I hope both of you get things straightened out. I'm clearly puzzled about things with both of you right now but I wish you the best." She looked at her. "I'm sorry about that night."

They both watched Eunice getting inside Flynn's car and driving off going to the airport for her flight back to England. She took one step away from Flynn and she heard him chuckled on his throat. "Relax, August. I won't bite." He leaned and whispered to her ear.

She moved away slightly, her cheeks feeling warm. "Don't do that." He ignored her with an amused smile on his lips as he gives way for her to walk ahead of him. "W—Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

He started walking on the streets with his hands inside his coat pockets while she walked slowly until she's a few inches behind him. She can't help herself from noticing how he'd gotten a better physique. His broad shoulders swaying gracefully and his firm legs stride smoothly as he takes a step.

She moistened her lips as her eyes traveled back to the lower part of his coat, despite the cloth covering most of it, she can see that his behind is firm and round. She took a deep breath and swallowed hard.

She was too focused on it that she didn't realize him halting his steps, her face bumping on Flynn's back. "Aww." She holds her nose.

He turned to face her. "It's dangerous to walk behind me." He smiled as he takes her hand to hold it. "—especially if you're looking at something else. Let's walk together. Walk beside me. Like this." He held their hands with their fingers clasped together.

She blushed looking at his handsome smiling face. Her heart skipped a beat before it started pounding so loud and her eyes landed on their clasped hands. Is this really happening?

"W—Wait! I have questions to ask! I want answers!" Really? Do I really need those answers when I know that the tightness of Flynn's grip on my hand is as tight as how he held my heart for a long time?

"Ask away." He answered but he didn't stop walking.

"How did Eunice know about Liam?"

"She helped with keeping the guy away from you using her connections since the festival incident and for the last five years that I kept myself away from you."

"Then why? Why did you disappear five years ago?" Her voice broke but she knew it was loud enough for Flynn to hear.

Her eyes looked around and saw people looking at them, curious and intrigued as they pass by.

Do these people know Flynn by any chance? I mean, this is a place where people who knows anyone else in his social circle would also know Flynn!

She lowered her gaze when she saw a group of women staring at them before whispering at each other.

"Why are you looking down?" Flynn asked as he halts his steps, turning to face her and reached for her chin, lifting it gently to meet his gaze. "Why, you ask?" He paused. "This is what I've been waiting for, August. No more masks in a crowded place. No more hiding. We're free." He smiled as he caressed her smooth cheeks gently. "Finally."
