Chapter 3 Avia The Assignment

  • Today I’m going to see Jack with my time table and we will work on the topic for my project. I choose it long back and left it with him last term but I doubt if he still have it. I packed my books and I was not sure if my clothes were appropriate, when did I start thinking about clothes when I’m going to see Jack.
  • I walked the small distance to Jack’s office. I was very nervous as if I’m going for a date instead of going to do school. I hope I will not make a fool of myself. Jack treated me like his little sister I don’t want him to think that I’m harboring stupid feelings for him.
  • “ Viva come this side “ Jack called me from the outside shades on top of the rocks I always loved that spot. I will be seeing all the mountains from underground. And at the same time it was secluded if there are no clients up there, it will be the only two of us. Except if someone was joining us up there. How am I going to concentrate with just him. I walked up to him and he was just looking at me like staring at me and I shivered. What was wrong with me this is Jack for goodness sake why am I reacting like this.
  • I sat down without even greeting him my words were stuck in my mouth. He was wearing a white T.shirt and grey shorts and he was looking extremely handsome. The other part of me tells me no matter how much I feel about him he will never look at me. I’m not pretty after all.
  • “ Viva are you not going to greet me today” where are my manners again.
  • “ Sorry Mr Taylor how are you doing today I came with my topic and some stuff I had researched in the library”
  • “ I’m okay Viva and I also have your topic and I did some research on it , we will work on it but first let’s have something to eat” he was nervous or am I just imagining it. Did I do something to make him like this maybe I betrayed my feelings already. Men can sense when women feel something for them but I’m working so hard on not to reveal my feelings.
  • He called to one of the waiters and they brought food and drinks. He knows what I like I have ate with him like more than 20 thousand times since I was 8. I know I’m his favorite little sister among all my sisters. God I hope he doesn’t find out that my so called crush has become so bad.
  • We ate while he asked about how I want to work on my project.
  • “ So did you make your time table for the holiday so that I can see if I have at least some free time twice or so a week to help you but other times you can work on your own, you know you can come in any time and do your work like you always do anyway”
  • “ Yes Mr Taylor I have my time table and I have divided my project’s chapters and distributed them across my time table so that I have a time frame for each chapter” I said freely I always love talking about my school work. It proves to be a balancing topic today because I felt better when I was talking about my project.
  • I layed down my plans for the holiday and I talked for almost 30 minutes non stop and when I looked up Jack was looking at me with something I didn’t understand In his eyes. Our eyes locked for few seconds before he looked away and suddenly I couldn’t continue talking, my heart was racing like crazy. What am I thinking, everything it’s just my imagination. My stupid imagination because Jack was only listening to me nothing else.
  • “ Let’s go to the office where we can use the computers as we are done with eating” he talked and sat up at the same time as if in a hurry I also stood up quickly when I went to pick my books from the table, we picked them at the same time,our hands tangled I had to take a sharp intake of breath and I couldn’t bring myself to look at him. I snatched my hands carried my bag and went down to the office and left him standing looking after me.
  • I don’t know how he felt when our hands tangled, we always touched and like always my body tingles everytime I think about a hug or just a shake of hands but today that was extremely crazy I couldn’t breath.
  • “ Hey Sis why are you walking as if a lion is chasing you, where is Jack I thought you were having a lunch date” my cousin is always playful but today my brains are already confused.
  • “ Huuh” I said when looking at him straight in his eyes as if I have seen a ghost.
  • “ What did Jack do, I go and punch him right now, why are you looking like this” my cousin was very protective of me like everyone around me. They made me feel like a glass.
  • “ What could Mr Taylor do Bro, I’m just going to the office to start working on the project and he is coming too I left him at the table, he was picking some of the books” I said bubbling
  • “ Then why do you have a face that says you are afraid of something, did he say something you didn’t like” my cousin is too much.
  • “ What could I say to our little Viva that could scare her Rich, you know I care about her as much as you do” Jack was serious he was offended by his friend’s statement because Rich was seriously concerned. I wonder how I looked that made Rich react this way.
  • “ I don’t know Jack, because her face says she is scared of something and she looked like she was literally running down the stairs as if something was pursuing her and who else should I blame for her reaction when it was only the two of you up there “
  • “ Are you trying to say I can hurt Viva man?” Jack was getting angry I had to stop this. These guys were friends.
  • “ will you both stop, I am fine Rich really fine and Jack didn’t say anything to me at all, will you both drop this before you attract attention to yourselves and embarrass me” they both looked at me apologetically
  • “ okay Sis take care I will come see you around after an hour or two I have some things to take care of and Jack I’m watching you “ Rich will not drop it easily I know Jack knows what Rich is talking about my feelings scared me to death for a while there.
  • “ Come on Rich drop it will you” I smiled at him and turned went to the office totally ignoring Jack. There was no point for him to argue with Rich it’s his fault I was looking scared anyway.
  • I entered the office without looking at him put my books down and sat down and totally ignored him. He stood at the door looking at my back. I always acted like a spoilt brat around him because he always spoiled me.
  • “ You know thus not fair, you got to smile at Rich and get mad at me, he started it” i didn’t turn around
  • “ You shouldn’t have argued with him you know they are protective of me.” He came and swiveled my chair around so that I was looking at him and he put his hands on both arm rests and bent forward. He looked angry I have seen him angry many times though the anger was never directed at me. Why is he angry with me.
  • “ You know thus not fair Viva I care about you as much as Rich does or are you saying I don’t. Have I ever given you a reason to think like that” He was looking straight into my eyes and I bite down my lower lip and thus where his eyes went next and I froze when I noticed that my actions have drawn his attention to my lips.
  • I let go of my lip and dated my tongue out and wet my lips he let out a sound as groan. And I couldn’t move I didn’t know what to do because he didn’t move away either.
  • “ Jack” I said with barely a whisper what was wrong with me, my voice was very horse.
  • “ sorry Viva I can’t do this anymore or I will die” he said softly, before I digest what he was saying he brought down his lips and touched mine. I shivered and he groaned out loud. He claimed my mouth without touching me with his hands and kissed me until I couldn’t breath. Does it mean he has been dying to kiss me or what is going on here. But if he doesn’t move I will put my hands on his body because I wanted to touch him badly.
