Professor F

For some reason, Flynn’s answer made August’s heart swell in happiness. No matter how twisted it is, she feels touched that he's doing this to be with her in private. Since they can't really act like the regular couples.

She sighed inside, it's starting to sink in how difficult it would be to go out with someone like Flynn. He is her professor and he is a prince.

She suddenly feel worried about getting caught. Her mind was clouded with her emotions at that time she suggested they could date in private that she didn't think of getting caught. She was so in the moment that she forgot about consequences that may cause problems for both of them.

"What's wrong?" He caressed her cheeks with his thumbs.

We'll get through this. I can't just ask him to quit this job although he was more than willing to do so. It'll work. I'm sure it'll work out for us. As long as we both want to make it work.

She smiled and kissed his lips. "Nothing. I love you. And thank you for doing this. I know you did this to make it work for both of us. Since I was the one who gave you the condition for us to date in private."

He sighed. "I think…” He paused. “I’ll never have a normal relationship with anyone."

She feels sad for him. She could sense how much he wanted to live a normal life, out of the public's eyes and just enjoy his private life.

"Well, you're already dating a normal girl. I'm no one special." She teased. "That's a good start, right?"

He kissed her forehead. "You're special, August. People may always think of themselves as average or normal but to someone, you'd always be something else. And you are special to me.”

The bell rang for her class and she kissed his lips before heading out. "I have to go. I'll see you tonight?”

Flynn nodded with a smile on his lips. “See you.”

August was almost done with her shift when she heard someone calling her name but it sure isn't someone from the evening brew.

"August!"

She looked around and saw Liam waving his hand at her, while sitting on a couch and a cup of coffee on his table. She went near him. "Hey, didn't know you go here."
