chapter seven: Talking with Alex (1)

The way she ate and licked her lips were so tempting. She even bit her lip at one point that Denis had to avert his gaze somewhere else.

She seemed so comfortable and even acted like they had known each other for quite some time now.

They continued eating till Denis noticed a glistening line descending on her, and it felt like she was lost in her thoughts and was unaware of that so Denis decided not to mention it. What was really wrong with her. She seemed to be in so much pain that even she didn't relise.

She suddenly came back to reality and touched her cheek to find it moist with her own tears. She quickly wiped it so Denis won't see it without knowing he was just being discrete for not pointing out that she had been crying. Again.

''Suddenly her appetite was gone and she told Denis she was going to the rest room. While he opted to go do the dishes and told her of the dresses she could choose from in the drawers and closet. She didn't answer but atleast let out a small grunt. He just hoped she didn't cry herself out. He would give her privacy so she won't feel embarrassed.

Luckily she came out shortly dressed in a dark casual denim dress. She looked gorgeous and he couldn't help but notice the thin 'ayer of makeup she applied. It was meant to look so natural but he was no fool and noticed it right away

''Can I get a charger? My phone is dead.''

''Uhm, well...'' He swallowed hard. She looked so simple and innocent in that dress, butost of all beautiful. His eyes were literally turning i to love sockets. ''Yeah'' He wiped his hands and went to fetch it and was right back in a matter of seconds.

'' Here it is.'' He didn't know how she could look so vulnerable and so innocently alluring.

'' Thanks. Where do I plug it?"

''Oh about that, just give me. I'll do it in the lounge.''

'' Ok. May I borrow your phone? Just a quick call to let Alex know I'm okay. '

'' Alex?"

'' Yeah. She's my best friend.'' I haven't texted her for two days now and I'm sur she might've come to that apartment to find it empty. She might be so worried.

''Here.'' 

'' Thanks. I'll just be in the room.'' She turned and left.

The first ring was answered so quickly she that it startled her.

'' Hello Alex.''

'' The hell you k ow my name. And who's this for a start.'' Liza sensed the annoyance in her voice and just said.

'' It's me Liza.''

''Liza? Babe are you find? OMG, where are you? Hope you doing good. We're you kidnapped? Do you need help? Is it Fred? We're you....''

''I'm doing just good. Don't worry about me okay. Relax. Right now l'm at Denis' house.''

'' Who?"

'' Denis. The super sexy teacher I told you about. The one taking us for the business and law course.''

'' Ok so you mean the one with the perfect rear view and chiseled chest " She couldn't hold her excitement and all the worry she had in her just vanished. She soon developed an evil grin. '' Hey did something happen between you two? Say it. Does he fuck well? What about his rear view was it so perfect with nothing on it? Will you guys start dating? Is he into you?

Thinking of it, it led Liza imagining how he would look with no cloths on and the way he would talk her dirty if they actually did it. That's a great if and she knew she would never get herself to do it with the guy. One thing was sure is he's not into men and he's so not into her so no need to rile things up.

''Jeez cool off. I might puke if you continue.''

Then just tell me how the hell you got to his house and... Did you spend the night together?" She cut her breathe waiting for an answer who took and eternity of three seconds to arrive.

'' No. None of what you are presuming is true. Well there's the story to that. First tell me how you've been.''

'' To hell with how I've been and tell me what happened.'' She scolded her friend jokingly

'' Well, yesterday after the class we had, Denis stopped me and invited me for coffee. He asked me what was the matter and instead of telling him nothing, I gave in and in no time, I was lamenting all over him wetting his shirt. Seriously, I felt like he would take pity on me but he's so easy to be with that, he just had some kind of understanding and I felt really comfortable with him.

''I wish the man with me was Fred.''

She was calm but somehow not strong enough to hold up and pretend to be strong Infront of her. Alex knew her in and out so that is why she never hid anything to her and could even tie a rope on her neck and give the other end to Alex.

'' But babe. I know it's not easy and we've talked about it right? You should let go of the bastard and start afresh. It would take some time but being all alone would just be way more painful.'' Alex realised Liza was too hard on herself. It seemed like she was never going to think of moving on.

Alex knew that their super sexy teacher was not the type to openly show his interests for the opposite sex but something in her gut told her she should try and get that guy. He might know how to handle Liza. He could help her heal faster than what she thought.
