LOGINELROY’S POVThe moment I drove the car to a halt, my heart leaped out of my chest at the sight right in front of me. There was a black chevy wedged in between two trees and the front of the car looked destroyed from where Noah and I stood before rushing over to the smoky vehicle.I searched the driver and passenger seats but there were empty “Evelyn! Evelyn!” I called out.“Miss Reeds” Noah called out, drawing my attention to the back seat and there she was, strapped into the seat with blood pooling at the side of her head, her body tilted towards the headrest of the seat and immobile. I shoved Noah aside, dragging the car door and I flung it open with much difficulty but as long as I was getting Evelyn out, it didn’t matter that it was difficult.“Help is on the way, I already phoned an ambulance” Noah said as I unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her out of the car. I didn’t turn to thank him but I was sure he knew that I was thankful either way.I laid her on the ground and pressed m
EVELYN’S POVMy breath hitched when he reached for my phone, I hung up the call almost immediately for fear and without hesitation, I threw my phone out the window.“You think you’re smart!” He yelled, his true character seeping out “I’m just trying to keep you from making mistakes” he reached his hand towards me while one hand was on the steering wheel.“What mistake? My mistake was ever trying to think I could change you” I sobbed “You almost ruined my life and now that I’ve started all over again, you’re here to deal more damage?” “You left me with no choice, I had to find you” he said, his hand still steadied on the steering wheel. It really irked me at this time that he was a great driver. I only hoped in my heart that Elroy would be able to find me with the hints I left on the road and the fact that I let it slip about where we were and going, all I needed to do now was to stall but I didn’t know how.The car moved rigorously and he drove as though he wanted us to meet our make
ELROY’S POVI reluctantly made my way out of the house to avoid a bigger problem, Tiffany Sterling. The blonde haired witch has been on my case all week, one minute she’s trying to cuddle with me, another minute she’s fighting with me on our project grade like I didn’t do my part.“Hey” Noah waved, leaning on his car door and slipping his hands back into his pockets as a faint smile on his lips, I waved back as I made my way out of the convenience store, a solace and my hiding place from Tiffany.“How did you know I’d be here?” I asked, even though it felt like a rhetorical question, I still needed his answer.“Come on man, you’ve been my best pal for years, I’d be dumb to not know your whereabouts right about now” he answered “And Tiffany gave me a heads up that she would coming to your place” pulling his hand out for a shake. I chuckled lightly before dapping him.“Want a drink?” I asked, taking out the tiny carton strawberry milk I had bought on my little venture to the store. He t
EVELYN’S POVI shoved him away before someone could see “What the f*ck are you doing?!” I whispered, looking past his shoulder to see if Chloe had come back or if a maid was in on the action.“I’ve tried to stay away from you..it just..it just doesn’t work” he quivered in a way that made my heart melt, his eyes were piercing holes in mine but I didn’t let him think of the effect they had on me.“Just stay away!” I reprimanded him, putting some distance between us “This is your home, heck, this is Chloe’s room, get out” I wasn’t taking any chances, I’ve had too many encounters with him in closed spaces to know that it was a bad idea to have him and I together right now.“Uh..Miss Reeds” Chloe called from outside the door.Startled, I pulled back even further “Yes Chloe..” I answered loudly “Did you forget something?”“No, no, I wanted to ask if brother is there and also if you’ll take some cookies with your orange juice” she responded and for a second, Elroy and I exchanged glances, b
EVELYN’S POVI felt an awful shrill in my spine when I heard I say those words “What did you say?” I asked with an ear bent forward so she could repeat her sentence once again.“I wanted to suprise you..I’m sorry I didn’t inform you earlier” she said with a melancholic tone. What on earth am I even doing? Trying to scold her, a woman who did everything to make me feel safe and secure.“Wow..I’m so happy for you. Wait” I paused “You’re the new librarian and professor?” I asked, pointing out the information Ryder had given me just an hour ago.“Hey miss Anya..” Elroy greeted “Congratulations” That should’ve been the first thing I say “Congratulations Anya, I’m sorry I was caught off guard” I apologized.“Yeah..I am, so you mind giving me a little tour before we leave?” She raised a brow and it made me chuckle a bit.“Do you need to ask? I’ll gladly give you a tour” I walked towards her and slipped my arm into hers, locking our arms as we moved “Goodbye Mr Vans” I said sternly as we mov
EVELYN’S POVThe next couple of days felt like a breeze, I stayed away from Elroy and best part, it was now over, which meant, it was now evaluation period and time for normal classes.“Good morning class” I said calmly and they all answered in unison, as it was all week, Tiffany and Elroy couldn’t care any less with their giggling and hand cuddling.“It’s evaluation week, so take your textbooks and works really seriously” I said, flipping the pages of the book in front of me “I’m convinced everyone has sent in their projects” I raised a brow, there was a low grumble amongst them.“I’ll just have to check in on your works” I said loudly when I noticed someone’s arm in the air. “Yes Laurentis” I lifted my eyes to see a snarky smirk on the corner of his lips.“I wanted to pass out an invitation to my celebration” he started, I tried as hard to avoid his eyes by staring at the words on the page “And you’re invited too professor” he added.The class was in uproar, rowdy and inattentive “S
EVELYN’S POVThe air felt still on my skin, my heart raced and I clenched my fists in fear “Mel..Melvin” I stuttered with a shaky breath but then I felt him from behind me, a soft breath on my nape.“Professor Reeds” he whispered and suddenly I felt calmness wash over me as I turned to look at him,
EVELYN’S POVHis fingers made my body hot, I held onto him, biting my bottom lip to supress my moans but he kissed my neck once again and just when I thought I’d give it up and scream his name, there was a voice in the distance.“Who’s there?” She asked, a low croaky voice asked.“It’s miss Colby”
ELROY’S POVThere was something about her that made my head spin, the scent of lavender on her skin, her hair up in a messy bun even in her work clothes, why does she always have to make me think about her?“Elroy, someone’s coming” she whisperedDare I say my need for her immediately heightened as
EVELYN’S POVHe stood by her door frame, that look of mischief in his eyes. I’d be damned to let him be in the same space as me, let alone drive me anywhere.“There’s no need for that brother, I’m sure miss Reeds will be staying” Chloe chipped in, I turned to her, wanting to satisfy my ego “And don
