Professor F novel Chapter 9

"G—Good morning!" She tried her best to act as normal as she can. She even tried to chuckle a little. "What makes you say that? I was just moved to an earlier shift."

"No. Not just that. I haven't seen you in a while."

She forced a smile as she tried to flee the situation. "Enjoy your coffee."

He looked at her as she left with an empty tray. As she walks back, she saw Gail glaring at her again.

She sighed inside. Man! I'm trying my best here!

She finished her shift that morning and was grateful that Flynn left after ordering his coffee. She left the coffee shop and walk straight home. Feeling tired and sleepy, she yawned as the lift dinged to the 6th floor and the doors opened. She was about to step out when she saw Flynn standing there in his usual preppy look as a young handsome professor, waiting for the elevators.

They both looked shocked to see each other. This time he tried to avoid her as well. She tried to go to his left but he stepped to that spot to give her the right path to pass through and then she stepped to the right to use it but he also stepped on that side, blocking her way.

"I'm sorry." They both said awkwardly. She looked at him and she feels bad, making her apology sound more than the situation asks for.

He smiled genuinely. "I'm sorry." He stepped aside and let her pass, gave her enough time to walk past him before he stepped inside the elevator.

The lift dinged, warning that the door will be closed when she turned around. "I'm sorry for ignoring you." She said as the door finally closed with Flynn's shocked face.

She sighed, still standing and bowing down when she heard the lift dinged and the door opened. Flynn was smiling at her. "Wanna grab lunch together?"

She got worried. "Is that alright? I mean—"

"Yeah. You're right. I forgot." He stepped out of the lift and walked towards her. "I'll cook breakfast."

"What about your class?" She asked.

"I don't have a class today. I'm planning on reviewing some books at the library but that can wait."

She blushed at the thought of him making her breakfast instead of going straight to the library. So, I'm finally seeing his place?

"Come on." He invited her as he walks back to his apartment. He unlocks the door and invited her in.

He went straight to his kitchen, folded his sweater up his elbows and prepped the things in the kitchen for cooking.

She can't help but feel amazed of how his place looked like. He's got shelves of books on every corner. He also got the latest game console connected to his big smartv. And he's got collections of games on a shelf too. His iPod sits on a Beats by Dr. Dre sound system.

"Wow."

"Do you play video games?" He asked as he whisks eggs on a bowl.

"No. Not really." She walked towards it to check the games and then walks to the shelves of books. She found a shelf of engineering books and then collection of Harry Potter and other famous novels. "Just wow."

He chuckled on his throat. "Hey, you can borrow anything you like instead of just having the dust cover them."

"Really?" She gleamed. She never had a collection of novels. Although her parents want to buy them for her in the past. She told them not to because she has access to the library to borrow them when she wants to read them.

He nodded smiling and started cooking scrambled eggs and bacon. He also prepared cups of coffee for both of them.

She joined him in the kitchen. "How many times do you usually have coffee?"

"Twice or three times a day. I get sick when I don't have them." He teased.

"That's insane!"
