Cousin online dating Chapter 7

He was silent for a long moment, then he smiled faintly. Amelia, you’re a student. We can’t” 

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear. My heart sank. It wasn’t me. He had someone else

I understand,I said coldly, turning away. Thankfully, the lecture was almost over. I excused myself to go find Sarahand quickly left

As soon as I stepped out of the lecture hall, I ran into the girl from Professor Hayes’s office

the one who’d been crying. She blocked my 

path, her expression hostile

What’s your relationship with Adam?she demanded

I shrugged. Gaming buddies, I guess.” 

She frowned. Gaming buddies?” 

We play video games together.” 

Stay away from him,she said. And stop 

playing games with him.” 

Who are you to tell me that?I asked

She lifted her chin. I’m his fiancée.” 

Right. Girlfriend, fiancée, gaming buddy. This guy was a master of time management

I didn’t have the energy to confront Professor 

Hayes. I simply nodded. Fine.” 

When I got home, I transferred some money to 

Professor Hayes’s Venmo account, calling it 

compensation for carrying me and Ethan in Call 

of Duty. Then, I deleted him from my contacts

I spent the weekend moping around, not 

wanting to play video games or work on my 

thesis. Then, Ethan showed up at my door

which was surprising, considering our recent 

fight. He shuffled his feet and handed me an 

envelope labeled Apology Letter.” 

Sis, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize what I was doing 

was wrong. Dad talked to me. I won’t do it 

again.” 

I nodded absently. Good. Glad you learned 

your lesson.” 

Sis, are you okay?” 

Sis, did you and Adam have a fight?” 

Sis, wanna play Call of Duty? I’ll carry you.” 

He was starting to annoy me. I called Sarah and 

suggested a girlsnight out at a club

At 10 pm, I showed up at the club, dressed to 

kill

Sarah greeted me at the door. Remember 

those basketball players I told you about? Prepare to be amazed. You’ll forget all about Professor Hayes by tomorrow morning.” 

The club was dark and loud, filled with the smell of smoke and cheap alcohol. A group of very tall, athletic guys were waiting for us at our table. They all stood up and greeted us politely, Hey, ladies!Sarah must have prepped them. I gave her a grateful look. She knew me too well

The guys were fun, and the music was great.

few vodka cranberries later, I’d forgotten all 

about Professorwhat was his name again

The crowd, the lights, the guysabs… 

everything was getting blurry. I stumbled 

towards the restroom. Sarah called after me, Amelia! You okay?” 

I gave her a thumbsup

But as I turned the corner, I tripped and fell into someone’s arms. Strong arms wrapped around my waist. I blinked, looking up into Professor Hayes’s face. His breath tickled my ear

I pushed against his chest. Professorwhat are you doing here?” 

He held me tighter. You’re drunk. I’m taking you home.” 

I poked his chest with my finger. Taking me home tonight, taking your girlfriend home

tomorrow, taking your fiancée home the day after? You’re really good at taking people 

home, aren’t you, Professor?” 

He looked confused for a second, then scooped me up into his arms. Do you talk nonsense when you’re drunk?” 

Nonsense? These are golden words, Professor. Pure poetry. I could write a dissertation on this 

stuff.” 

Sure, poetry,he said, carrying me out of the 

club

The world spun. I vaguely heard snippets of 

conversation between Sarah and Professor 

Hayes

I’ll take you both home.” 

Oh, no, Professor Hayes, I can get home 

myself.” 

2:41 

Should I call your advisor to pick you up?” 

On second thought, I’ll take a ride.” 

I woke up in a moving car

Hey, feeling better?” 

I turned and saw Professor Hayes driving

How did you know I was at that club?” 

I just happened to be there.” 

Right.” 

I didn’t say anything, so he continued, What 

was that about a girlfriend and a fiancée?” 

Exactly what it sounds like,I mumbled, still 

sulking

He pulled over. Did she say something to you?” 

Yeah.” 

He sighed. She’s my neighbor’s daughter. She’s a freshman in college. Our families joked about an arranged marriage when we were kids

and she’s latched onto that idea. She calls 

herself my fiancée, but it’s nothing like that.” 

Oh.I looked out the window. I don’t care if 

you have a fiancée. I’m just your gaming buddy

Go explain it to your girlfriend.” 

Professor Hayes let out a long breath. There’s 

no other girlfriend. Are you misunderstanding 

something?” 

Nope.I rubbed my temples. Why are we 

stopping? Where are we?” 

We’re at your apartment.” 

2:41 

Oh. Thanks, ProfessorI mean, Adam.”

I thanked him politely and got out of the car. He 

followed me, giving me directions

Wrong way. Turn left.‘ 

No, straight ahead.” 

I really was drunk
