She glowered at me, and I had the grace to look sheepish, even though I regretted nothing. I knew she wasn’t going to stay, no matter how much I begged, so I decided to stop. Also, since she’d mentioned it, I was starting to feel guilty again. I’d exhausted her on Friday night, but yesterday was so much worse. We both woke up late, and after eating breakfast, lazed around the room, then we had lunch. We switched to other, more enjoyable activities after that, paused for dinner, and continued to early morning when we finally fell asleep.
Angela went to pick up her phone, looking it over before she put it away in her purse.
“I should get going now,” she said. “You can leave sometime after I do, I already dealt with the payment so just drop the key card at the front desk when you leave.”
She winced when she leaned down to put on her shoes, and I hurried over.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
I went down on my knees to help her pull on her shoes, and she smiled wanly at me.
“Yeah, I’m just not as young as I used to be.”
I rose up and pulled her into a quick hug. “You’re not as old as you seem to think you are, either. Now, hurry up and go before I’m tempted to lock you in here for another night.”
She smiled up at me, then gave me a peck on the lips before she hurried out. I watched her go, then went to sit down on the couch. I could hide for a couple of hours before I had to go back to the school.Chapter Eighteen
AngelaI arrived home late in the afternoon and sighed as I closed the door behind me. I leaned back against it, momentarily losing all the strength in my body.
While it was nice of him to say so, my body was definitely not the same as before. Even after resting the whole day, I was still exhausted from last night’s activities. I wasn’t kidding when I said I wanted to come home to catch up on sleep. I was going to be completely lazy because I had to go back to work tomorrow.
I was only there for a moment, then I slipped off my shoes and headed for my bedroom. I didn’t even feel up to eating dinner; I’d just have a heavier breakfast tomorrow.
Before I could get far, there was a knock at my door. Slowly, I turned around and stared at it. The only person to visit me recently was Ben, but I’d left him at the hotel. If he was just going to show up at my place anyway, he could have just followed me back. Or, he could have texted me.
I knew it couldn’t be him, though. He wouldn’t be that close behind me.
Even though I felt like I was about ready to drop, I went to open the door, curious. Of all people, I didn’t expect that girl to be standing on my doorstep, the one that Ben dated before. Sandra.
Though, the more pressing question was how she knew where I lived in the first place.
“Is there something I can help you with?” I asked curtly.
She ran her eyes over me, and I felt my body stiffen. I was still in the over the top dress, and I let her see me this way.
Crap.
“If you don’t mind, I’m feeling a little tired, so whatever it is, please hurry so I can have my rest, please.”
She scoffed, walking forward. I was surprised and backed away, until she closed the door behind her and folded her arms across her chest, facing me.
I stiffened. “Please get out of my home.”
“Oh, don’t worry professor, I don’t want to be here, either, but we can't have the neighbors overhearing, now can we?”
“What is it that you’re doing here then?” I asked, scowling. “I already told you I’m tired. If you have nothing, then please leave.”
“But why would I do that when I followed you all the way here? It hasn’t been easy finding you the past couple days, professor. I wonder where you went.”
Her presence had me irritated, but more than that, I was worried. There was no reason this girl had to be following me around, and the fact that she had had me worried.
“If you don’t leave right now, I will call campus security,” I said warningly. “Get out, now.”
“Go ahead and call them,” she challenged. “I’ll tell them exactly what you’ve been doing, and we’ll see who’ll get in trouble then, hmm?”
Fuck, she knows!
Before, I’d thought she had a suspicion, but seeing the way she was acting, how confident she looked, she definitely knew that there was something between Ben and me.
She tilted her chin up. “Listen up, prof, because I’m only going to say this once. You are going to leave Ben alone, or I swear I will report you to the school for sleeping with your student. Nod your head if you understand.”
