Chapter 8

Erica's POV

I slept in Beatrice room when we came back from the party. The following morning, I went back to my room. Sophia was still sleeping when I came in. As I head out for class, I deliberately passed through where I know I will see Damian.

In as much as I was still angry at him, a part of me still wanted to be around him, still wanted to have his hands on my skin again.

To hear him talk to me, the more I tried to control those thoughts, the stronger it becomes.

I tried to tell myself that what I want is not possible, we both belong to different social classes.

Children of the rich only move with rich children in other to protect their wealth and statues.

He can never love a girl like me. On that, I decided to take another turn, to the faculty.

Is that Damian, I found myself asking when I saw him kissing a girl, I got closer to see that he was the one

the girl is no girl at all, she is more of a lady, they were so into each other so much that they didn't even notice my presence.

I felt jealous even when I know I have no reason to be.

I wished I was the one in his hands, I felt my heart shred to pieces.

If I didn't know he was a was still single, I'll probably think they were newly weds. What is he doing with an older woman.

I felt a thousand stabs to my heart. what is wrong with me, why do I care so much about what he does.

He is not even mine for God sake Erica get a hold on your emotions he doesn't care about you and he has no reason to.

I hurried off to my class. thankfully, the tutor was yet to arrive. There were a few students already in classroom.

I thought of a good place to hid, where no one would notice my mystery.

I went straight to the rest room, I cried my heart out till all my makeup were ruined.

why am i even crying? I am so stupid.

It felt like I have known him all my life. When I had cried to my heart content.

I just wash off my already smeared makeup and applied new one. Though my face look flustered and my eyes reddish, good thing I will be sitting at back where no one would notice.

I told myself not to bother about him, to fully concentrate on the reason I was in college.

I cleaned up and went back to class.

"Can I have your attention please" Damian said.

I was resting my head on the desk, when I thought I heard his voice

good Erica well done now you are going crazy for someone who doesn't even know you exist

I raised my head to see he was standing there with a few other guys. How is this even possible? what was he doing here?

There was an outbreak of whispers as girls droll over him, he was wearing a black jeans with a gray hoodie. His hair messy in a sexy way.

well he probably just had sex Erica.

I felt like going out of the classroom, but that would be childish.

I hate him so much, why can't he just become invisible.

"I will like to officially welcome you all to Franster College, so sorry I have not been able to come address you guys since resumption.

My name is Damian Anderson. The president of the student union association. please feel free to come around for any inquiry and before I forget, plans are already on ground to welcome you all to college..."

As he was speaking, his eyes scanned the classroom, his face all serious until his eyes lands on mine, I thought I saw a mixture of guilt and embarrassment on his face, but it wears off as he continues addressing the class.

Maybe its just in my head

"The ceremony will be taking place immediately after exams, this is to enable you guys prepare very well for your first exams, we are available to render any assistant you may need that is within our jurisdiction, Thank you all and have a great trimester" he said as they went out of the class.

Our tutor who has been waiting, came in to take over his class.

45minutes before

Damian's POV

One of my acquaintances had called earlier for us to see. I didn't want to take her to my room so I told to wait for me on a spot I felt was safe and not so busy.

I would have brought her to my apartment, but I decided to explore and catch some cruise, and been that it was our first time of actually meeting ourselves, I was in no rush to bring her in just yet. I was not going to have sex with her in public before you start judging me. But, been a bad boy and all, I sometimes I let that part of me play out a little.

Its fun, its crazily fun.

Every woman needs someone who would make them feel special, sexy, irresistible and proud to show off.

Well I can be any of these as long as you agree to my terms and conditions, no strings attached. I freaky hate commitment. And since I don't get to actually ask these ladies out, I pretty much have them at my mercy.

Oh please, don't hate because I know you too wish you were the one in my arms.

We were only just starting when I thought I saw Erica. she just stood there looking, making me lost interest in what I was suppose to be enjoying.

I thought of stopping but that will only make me look guilty, not that I am really guilty of anything.

Or am i?

I just played along, hoping she goes away, but she stood there, I could see her countenance that she was hurt, and I felt bad.

When she finally left, I had to come up with an excuse of why I had to go.

And my unwittingly guest just accepted even when she saw that I saw lying.

Good thing about having friends with benefits, is that you have no strings attached.

I needed to make sure Erica was alright. I don't even understand why I have to go see her. Since our last night kiss at the beach, I have been thinking of her a lot, even when I don't want to.

I mean there is nothing between us, even if I badly want her. No! not badly. Anyway, it was about time I should go and address her class, so I called a few of my executives together to go give them a welcoming speach.

We had to start with her class because I think I love the painting in the classroom and when we were done, I just became too tired to continue. So my other executives continued.

Erica's POV

I got back to my hostel in the evening feeling exhausted. Sophia was not around as usual.

I just lay on my bed hungry and tired. There was a knock on the door, I reluctantly stood to see who is at the door. When I opened the door, I saw It was Damian.

"Hi" he said smiling.

"Sophia is not around" I said attempting to close the door.

He placed his leg in between the door to stop me from closing it.

"I know, can I come in?" he asked.

I walked away from the door giving him access to come in as I went back to my space. He came in after me and locked the door.

"How are you" he asked. But I just ignored him, pretending not to hear what he said.

"I noticed you were cold in your classroom earlier while I was addressing you guys, that's why I decided to come check on you." He said, his voice was calm and soothing almost pulling me to him.

I just stood there trying to figure out why I was angry in the first place, as my fingers suddenly became the most fascinating thing to look at.

Do you know you have five fingers on each hand?

"Are you angry with me? Erica talk to me." He said. The million things I wanted to tell him just evaporated from my head. He mind so much effect on me. I couldn't dare to even stare at him on the face, I tried looking every where but his face.

"Are you going to say something or what?" he said after some time.

"I'm fine" I mumbled.

"Come here Erica" he said.

His voice so sexy it sent waves down my very essence.

I had to close my eyes and picture him with the other woman for me to be able to resist his invite.

When he noticed I wasn't moving, he started walking towards me. while I instinctively started walking backwards. I didn't know when my back crushed against the wall.

he was so close as kept his hands on the wall after which he buried his head on my neck inhaling my scent as he placed soft gentle kisses on it. Each of those kisses made me Shriver, he removed his left hand from the wall and used it to move my tiny waist closer to him.

I found myself not been able to resist him, resist his touch, i wanted him and was willing to do any of his bidding. His breath was very heavy.

he is walking STD Erica, push him off, a tiny voice kept ringing in my head

I found myself enjoying his torture, he lifted his face and looked into my eyes for some sort of permission.

He must have seen what he looking for, as his lips came crushing upon mine. His lips were warm,tender, and dominating which made me moan for more. He kissed me as if his entire life depended on it.

His tongue moved inside my mouth as if there was something hidden that needed to be found.

He lifted me up and took me to my bed, while he never for once stopped tormenting me with his lips.

Erica this is so wrong a tiny voice in my head kept saying but I just shot it out.

"Sophia"

I manage to mumble, as my body tremble under him.

"don't worry, I have taken care of her" he said amidst deep breath as his lips took over mine again, his hands moved under my top to find my breast, he teased and kneaded on tight on them. His every touch made me want more of him.

He removed his lips from mine and started kissing my neck line, he bit on it a little and that made me clinched,

"what have you done to me" he groaned as I felt his little junior harden.

Just then, His phone rang and he removed his lips and look into my eyes. I could feel my lips Fuller from all the vigorous kissing. He noticed I was shivering, he smiled, probably pleased with himself.

"What have you done to me" he said again not really sure if he needed an answer. He placed a kiss on my fore head, "we are not done yet" he said and before I could react, he opened the door and and walked out.

I sat there wondering what just happened, I became angry with myself for been so cheap. I almost had sex with someone who is not who is not even my boyfriend. I buried my head in shame, how will I ever be able to face him.

How do I live comfortable with Sophia having in mind that I almost just fucked her step brother.
