"Thank you," I sighed and decided to walk faster.
My new company, however, continued to tail me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I'm just making sure you don't get lost," she said and beamed a smile.
It was just a sentence, and it made me feel…happy.
"You might end up submitting to the wrong office," she explained. "I wouldn't want you submitting to Dr. John."
"I wouldn't," I frowned and continued on my way.
Sure enough, I did. I submitted it to the wrong person again.
"Do you believe in curses?" she asked after I had finally submitted it to the right lecturer.
"You want to say that I'm cursed with perpetual carelessness?" I asked. "I've heard that already."
"That's not it," she sighed. "I just wanted to know if you believe that you're cursed."
I didn't say anything.
"As I thought," she smirked and walked ahead of me, "My name is Emilia. Nice to meet you, Ethan."
She was…perfect. It was love at third sight. Emilia followed me around with every opportunity she had. She kept me out of the wrong classes, and I was able to submit assigns to the right lecturers. She was helping me get my life together and I enjoyed it.
Around everyone else, I was conscious. But with her, I could finally be myself around her. I didn't have to be too conscious. I could be myself. I started to understand a little why my parents loved each other so much. They were willing to be themselves and find people who could correct and accept them.
My love for her turned physical, and eventually sexual. God, she was heavenly. It was almost like she studied the art of giving a man pleasure. The nights we spent together never left my memories. She asked me for help, and I could support her in return. Getting her books and all that. She wasn't from a stable family and I wanted to do my best to make sure she didn't suffer any problems in school.
Why? I was in love. I needed to tell her. We were preparing to move into our final year and I summoned up the courage and told her my feelings. I poured out my heart explaining how much she meant to me and why I couldn't do anything without her anymore. When I was done speaking, I met with her eyes and they didn't return the excitement mine had.
"Well, this is shocking," she chuckled nervously.
"What?"
"I mean the whole confession thing, I didn't expect you to confess your feelings," she said.
"You were going to confess first?" I asked.
"No, there wasn't going to be a confession at all," she said with a blank expression. "I'm not really in love with you at all."
"What?"
"Yeah," she said as she rubbed her neck nervously. "Don't get me wrong, you're an amazing guy. But you're kind of a handful."
"But I thought you were able to help me out. I mean you were able to right? All this time?" I asked in disbelief. "Are you pranking me or something?"
"No, I'm not pranking you," she replied. "I helped you mostly because well I thought I could call in favors in return. And I did. To make sure that it wasn't just like I was taking from you, there was the sex, and my God you're extremely good at it."
So, she was using me?
I couldn't ask her. In fact, I didn't want to be anywhere near her at all.
"Thank you for everything," I said and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry, Ethan," she apologized.
