Chapter 58
Ruby
Today Zama is coming, at least I won't be so lonely anymore. I wake up feeling a little bit energized, yesterday wasn't a good day for me, I'm just hoping that today will be different.
I also haven't been able to get the guy who helped me out of my mind. He's just stuck in there, I keep seeing his face and feeling his arms around my back repeatedly, I feel some familiarity I can't even comprehend. I just smile every time it crosses my mind.
What if he is my mate? My eyes widen after thinking like this. No way, as I know about mates, he would have scooped me in her arms and ran towards the sunset with me. Its cheesy but it happens right, so he can't be.
What if he is my mate though and I can't recognize him because I don't have my wolf?
Oh no, I know I didn't want a mate, but being in the dark is not that pretty. I'm just yearning to see him again, he partly is the reason why I'm psyched to go to class.
I have to be decked up today, I know I came to learn but still, I can learn and look gorgeous at the same time. I take out a black body con dress, put on my makeup, light one. Style my hair into a high ponytail, wear a sleeveless kimono, I don't want to look too flashy. I then pick up my backpack and head to the cafeteria for breakfast.
I'm really so happy today, I can't even explain why. I take a seat and the waitress serves me my black coffee with a croissant. I have three classes today so I have to be full. The cafeteria is full of students most are in pairs, I feel so envious. I just wish my friend was here already, I would be less lonely.
I head to class after that, I take a seat in front, I want to be able to see the professor well. I take out my phone while waiting for the teacher. It's my first class, yesterday there was drama, I just hope that today will be different.
Suddenly the class starts to murmur, especially the ladies.
“Omg he is coming.” A girl sitting at the window side says as she peeps outside. All of a sudden, giggles are heard all over the class.
“Hey stop it I'm your man.” One male student says in a higher tone.
“So what, he is gorgeous.” His girl answers.
What's the fuss all about, I turn to face the door, and my jaw almost drops. The guy I've been wishing to meet again walks in. He looks dangerously remarkable, his hair is left freely, and he has a black suit on which is hugging each of his curves. He clears his throat and turns to meet my eyes. I feel goosebumps all over my body, I feel like his eyes are saying something to me. They still look so sad, though. I open my mouth but nothing comes out of it.
“Welcome sir, we missed you.” A girl runs to the front and takes the books off his hands and places them at the front. He is still in a statue mode, just staring at me. “Sir, can you hear me?” The girl asks when she notices that she's being ignored. I can't believe he my professor, OMG, how will I be able to learn now? No man has affected me this much.
“What?” He asks, shaking his head.
“Welcome sir.” She smiles, batting her lashes and displaying her cleavage to him. It's clear that she wants him, why do I feel like getting up and grabbing her from there? Why is she smiling like that at him?
“Thank you.” He smiles, making my heart flutter. I'm sure by now my face is flushed.
“Have your seat.” He commands now in a serious tone. He even looks gorgeous that way. Who is this man? Why does he affect me this much.
“Alright sir.” She turns, upon turning I notice it's my roommate Halsey. She runs on her heels back to her seat grinning from ear to ear.
“Alright class, let's proceed from yesterday.” He begins. All I can see is his lips moving, I don't get a word he is saying, I see his Adams apple moving as he speaks, his mouth twitching, his lips moving and his back as he faces the board. His rock-hard btt, he must be a body builder, that explains the bulging muscles. He looks so arrogant, though, he definitely knows how perfectly curved he is.
“Yes sir.” The class answers in unison, making me get out of my head. St, I didn't learn a thing even today, what's all this. I said I came here to learn, but at this rate, I am going to disappoint my family. How am I even going to become a doctor then.
“Miss Ruby, what's your take?” He startles me, did I tell you how melodious his voice is? And how did he know my name?
“You know my name, sir.” I ask looking directly at him for some reason looking at him calms me. His ruby eyes are perfect, its like he doesn't even belong to this world.
“Of course.” He smirks, my heart almost bursts with joy. “It's on your name tag, around your neck.” He adds, I feel like a stupid fool. I look down in shame as the whole class bursts out laughing.
“Sorry sir.” I apologize, taking my seat. I just want the class to end now. All I wanted today was for my day to be normal, but I guess it won't.
“It's fine, Ruby.” His tone is now soothing and so familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. My name sounds perfect coming from him. I feel instant relief, all the embarrassment is gone. “So you are the only one with no partner.” He states.
Partner for what? Jeez! I really need to be more attentive from now on.
“I'm here, sir, I don't have a partner either. I would love to pair with this gorgeous goddess.” A tall man enters the class and sits right next to me winking to me as he takes his seat. “I'm sorry I'm late sir, pack responsibilities.” He says, his eyes still on me. I just smile.
“Well…" the professor pauses for a while. “That's settled… then.” He adds stammering. “Thats all for today. Submit your emails and WhatsApp numbers so that I can send you the project titles, see you next week.” He adds in a low tone. It's as if he doesn't want to go out.
He reluctantly leaves as the next professor is at the door. He takes a brief look at me, sighs and leaves the class. As expected, Halsey runs after him, and weirdly, I feel so enraged.
