It's Not A Love Story

Teaser

"Who are you?" I whisper to an unknown figure in the dark room.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" A man's voice responds.

I notice his figure getting closer. I start to sweat. All I can hear now is my racing heart beat. The chains around my hands and feet are keeping me from running away. They are attached to something on the floor. As he gets closer, I begin to move back as far as the chains will let me. His body is just inches from mine. I turn my head away from him in order to free myself of his delicious yet dangerous smell. It doesn't work. I can still smell him. I can even feel the heat radiating off his body. His hand forces me to turn towards him and look him in the eyes.

I know those eyes. I think to myself.

Those are...

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. It's 7:30 a.m., and I apparently missed the first two alarms while I was dreaming.

Shit. I was dreaming again. I never get to see who my kidnapper is, or at least that's what I think he is.

I hate when dreams end right at the good parts. I've tried a million times to go back to sleep to see what happens next, but I never can.

I rush out of bed to get ready for work. I'm a professor at a top rated college in the U.S. I teach english literature, and I have my first class today. It would be quite embarrassing to be the one late to class instead of the students. I'm 28, and I just got out of college myself. I know how things work. Just because my dad is the deen doesn't mean I can slack off. If anything, he expects more out of me.

Once I'm ready, I run out of my house and begin driving to the college. I end up being 5 minutes late. All of my students are patiently waiting for me to begin.

As I look at all their faces, I become more overwhelmed. I spot an individual in the crowd. He's young. Maybe 23 at the most. I know he can tell I'm nervous by the way he looks at me. His body looks relaxed, but his eyes are so intense. He gives me a sympathetic smile and a nod of encouragement. I start to become more comfortable with my surroundings as I jump into my lesson.

However, all I can think about is how beautiful his eyes are....
