Professor F

Chapter 59

August didn't move and is still locked in Pierre’s gaze. She stayed still. He moved his face closer to

hers but even before he could kiss her, a loud voice called her name.

"August!" Flynn calls her name and pushed his way to get through security.

Pierre then recovers and moves to stand up and help her on her feet. He raised his hand, as if telling

security to let Flynn through.

Flynn looked so worried. "Are you okay?" He asked holding her arms.

She nodded, trying her best not to look at Pierre. She could imagine Pierre smiling as he talks. "I'm

sorry. The crowd got too chaotic. I'll leave now. Thanks again for coming!" He said, looking in a hurry

and then left.

As he turns his back from them, she had the courage to watch him leave.

He looked so sad and lost. Despite his easygoing and funny personality, he sure is so broken inside.

"Are you alright? What happened?" Flynn asked, caught her staring at Pierre.

She looked away. "Nothing. Let's go home."

Flynn nodded and they left for the gate. Hugo is already standing by the limousine door.

••••••

It's been three weeks since that night August and Flynn attended the concert. Pierre hadn't been

answering her emails and messages about their next tutoring schedules and never attended one again.

And to her—it felt like he's avoiding her.

She only stopped bothering him after he responded to one of her messages saying he's busy for their

band practices and gigs that's why he can't make it to their scheduled tutoring. He paid in advance so

she asked him if he wanted his money back but he never responded to that.

Meanwhile, she continued working at the cafe and like always, it's the haven of different stories from

different customers especially if you're the one cleaning up tables next to these people who are

gossiping. Even if you're the type who'd find eavesdropping as rude, there are times you can't avoid

hearing stories unintentionally and stayed to hear more if it's about someone you know, especially if its

about your boyfriend.

August found herself doing just that on her last work day, on a Friday evening before the Thanksgiving

break—she heard a group of three girls giggling in a table next to the one she's cleaning up before her

shift ends.

They're talking about Flynn! And she can't help herself from listening to their conversation.

"He just started teaching my major last week. He's so handsome and smart!" A girl with red locks

shared with a dreamy smile on her face.

"Yeah, I saw him in our building and boy, he got all our eyes staring. Do you think he is taken?" The girl

with long blonde hair asked, curious.

"I heard he used to teach engineering subjects but got involved with his student that's why he was

transferred to another college." The other girl with short brown wavy hair tied in a pig tail and wearing

eyeglasses said.

"I can't blame her. Professor Ferguson is so hot!" The blonde girl exclaimed with wide eyes. "Who

knows? I might be the next girl he's getting involved with! I'd probably quit school just to date him!" She

giggled.

August closed her eyes after what she heard. She's worried that students are talking about Flynn's

involvement with his student. She still feels guilty for allowing herself to be with him even though she

knows this would happen.

Other than that, she felt irritated and jealous that someone is talking about Flynn this way!

Dating him! Quit school to date him?! Really?

Then, he remembered Flynn telling her he'd quit teaching which he did just to date her! And she felt

bad for that, too.

But she loves Flynn more!

Frustrating! What love can do to people!

"You're crazy!" The girl in with eyeglasses laughed at her friend. "He's out of your league! That guy's

face would definitely not settle with a school girl like us! I mean, just look at him—" She gets her phone

and showed her friends the screen. "I think he's already got a model girlfriend or dating one!"

A model girlfriend?! She felt bad for herself, hearing how those girls assumed Flynn would only date a

model because of how handsome he looked!

"You're kidding! Where'd you get this photo?" The blonde girl asked. "He looks so good even on stolen

shots! Geez!" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"I saw him while I was doing research in the library!"

"You really have good stalking skills." The red head giggled.

"No, that is not stalking! It must be fate—I can settle watching him from afar for now."

August sighed then left quickly after finishing up. She can't continue listening to them. She went back to

the kitchen and calmed herself. She could feel her heart raising and her head aching.

She sighed remembering Flynn's face that night they were at the concert. She loves the way he looked

when he's focused into something, when he's not looking—that's probably the same look those girls

have on the photo.

She looks at the table where the girls are seated and watched them leave the cafe. She can't stop

feeling worried. Those girls are pretty—prettier than her! Now that Flynn teaches in a different building,

she won't be able to know what's happening while he's away from her unlike that time he was still

teaching in the Engineering department.

As crazy as it may sound, she feels threatened for the first time. What if Flynn likes another girl? Those

girls are definitely drooling over him. She can't help feeling this way because he suddenly started

working out after he got back from London aside from doing his evening runs.

Is he doing it for someone? Is it from his new department? Why does he have to workout all of a

sudden?
