Professor F

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 © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

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."

She's speechless. There's a lot of things and questions inside her mind but words won't escape her

mouth. His words brought happiness in heart she felt like crying.

"Come on or they'll close soon." He said as he tightened his hold on her hands and walked faster,

crossing the streets, walking in the crowd and passing by different luxurious clothing and shoe brand

shops and restaurants.

"What will close soon?" She asked, faintly as she tries to catch her breath.

Flynn turned on the corner street before he stopped walking. Her mouth dropped open when she saw

the large ring amusement park ride decorated with colorful lights, brightening up the dark night.

"Will you go on this date with me?" Flynn asked as he pulled her closer and placed his hands on her

hips. "No. Let me correct that. Will you go out with me?"

She's lost for words. "You mean—date me for real?"

He chuckled. "I guess, you can't really call what we had five years ago as dating, huh?"

"I don't know. I only dated you. Wait—what?" She laughed at her own statement.

Flynn laughed with her as he cupped her face in his hands. "God! I miss your laugh."

"Just that?" She pouted.

"And your kiss. Can I kiss you now?"

"In front of these people?"

He grinned as he moved his face closer to hers. "Why not?"

Her heart stopped for a beat when she felt his soft lips touched hers, slowly and gently capturing the

curves of her lips before his tongue played with her own.

He smiled against her lips. "So, Engineer Peters, will you be my girlfriend?"

"What? Already?"

"You should be ready for the next question." He winked as he pecked the back of her hand.

She blushed, understanding what he meant after being his girlfriend.

"Would you like to try the rides or get another fluffy stuffed toy, my princess?"

She was about to answer when the lights at the amusement park dimmed and the sky brightened up by

beautiful fireworks display. The crowd applaud almost in unison.

Flynn placed his arms over her shoulders. "Guess we'll have to enjoy this and try the rides next time?"

She nodded smiling and closing her eyes when Flynn moved closer to kiss her forehead.

He chuckled. "I love you, Engineer Augustine Peters. I'm glad I waited for this perfect moment. You

became someone you wanted to be."

She smiled as she looked into his eyes. "I am someone I wanted to be. Next to you, Professor. I love

you.”
