A Girl Nobody Wanted

“Mmm... Mr. Patterson, I have to go." I said tensely, looking at Jake, who was staring at us.

“Ah! Sure. I will let you know the time of our discussion.” he replied with a bit of confusion due to the sudden change of n voice.

“Yes, please let me know," I said, smiling lightly and I walked passing him towards Jake.

jake started to walk away as soon as he saw I was walking in his direction.

He can't be mad just because I talked with a lecturer. That's ridiculous.

Scolding him from my mind, I walked to the canteen to grab something to eat.

My phone rang, even before I find my self a place to sit and eat. It was a new message from Jake.

“Come to your secret hiding place, now!” the message said.

Secret hiding place... So he knows about that too. Of course you silly, he knows that. Otherwise, how he put that very first note with a cup of hot chocolate. I thought while recollecting that day which started to turn my whole life upside down.

“I am about to eat. Shall I come after that?” I sent a reply.

“Can’t you understand when I say now!” he sent an immediate reply.

You arrogant jerk Why the hell you can't wait till I finish my sandwich? You must have a good reason for this Jake or I wi kill you.

Fortunately, I haven't removed the wrapper of my sandwich. So, I just put it to my bag and left the canteen.

I got into the elevator and pressed nine instead of ten. I was afraid if someone sees I have pressed ten and be curious about that because normally no one goes to the 10th floor.

After getting to the 9th floor, I walked towards the staircase. Luke was there near the staircase.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, wondering.

“Giving security to the King and the Queen.” he chuckled.

That made me forget all the hard feelings I had, and I laughed with him.

“Go... He is waiting for you,” he said.

Then I quickly ran up the stairs.

jake was there nervously walking here and there.

He stopped walking and kept on staring at me as he saw me.

“Jake, we need to stop seeing each other like this, if you still want to keep us a secret" I said annoyingly.

“Sit” he ordered, showing two chairs arranged around a table. There was a considerably big parcel on the table.

He is indeed arrogant and dominating. He doesn’t even bother to answer my questions.

I sat without saying anything. He also sat on the next chair.

Then he started to open the parcel which was on the table.

There was a lot of food. Not canteen food either he must have bought these from a restaurant.

“What are these?” I asked with surprise, looking at a large amount of food in front of me. There was enough food for at least four people.

“Can't you see this is food,” he said bitterly.

“Yes, I know... But why?" I asked again.

“For you to eat..” he said plainly.

“But I got food. said, showing him the sandwich I bought.

“People need to eat something healthy, other than a fu**ing sandwich every day," he yelled at me.

My eyes widened. So he bought all this for me because he wants me to eat healthy food? He worked all-dominating and took me here, just to serve me a healthy meal. My poor Jake... He doesn't need to go through all these troubles.

“Jake... I have no words to express... But you really didn't need to go through this trouble. I said with a warm heart that filled with gratitude and love for him.

“How can this be trouble? You are the person I love. Anything I do for you is never troubling me. " he said, looking right in my eyes.

"1 know you spend most of the days with a sandwich, or somedays even without that. I wish I could buy your meal every day. But unfortunately I cannot, and I know you will never let me do that every day. So I thought, why I don't try it on a fe random days." he added with a small smile.

“How much do you concern about me?” I asked, while my eyes filled with tears. I spent all my life with people who didn’t give a s**t about whether I ate or not. Most of the days, they just threw away food without letting me eat.

“Hey! Please don't cry... Be a good girl and eat now.” he said, gently wiping out tears from my cheeks.

It took me a few minutes to calm down and stop crying. He just stayed there, caressing my head softly.

Then we both started eating. The food was delicious. I ate until I felt like I am going to throw up.

“What you discussed that interestingly with him earlier?” he asked out of nowhere when I was helping him clean the stuff Well... I was expecting that question from him, but not now...

“You mean, Mr. Patterson?” I asked.

He nodded his head nervously.

“He is preparing the content for our psychology lecture series next semester. He is going to have discussions with a few students before finalizing the content. He wanted to check whether I am willing to help with thatI explained.

“Why he chose you to ask that?” he groaned.

“I met him yesterday too. So he kind of knows me now.” I said.

“Met you yesterday? Where? He came in yesterday evening.”

“Yes... Yesterday when I was going to the lecture hall, I bumped into him. That made all the books on my hand fell down. Then he helped me collecting them. He introduced himself to me by that time. After that, I showed him the Dean's office! explained to him everything.

jake was staring at me, with his face clenched. He looked angry and worried at the same time.

“Why the hell, you always bump into someone. Can't you see properly? What the hell is wrong with you?” he yelled at me. didn't expect him to be this furious.

“I didn’t do it on purpose, Jake. I was... I was totally out of my mind after that... kiss...” I managed to say after stuttering. “That doesn't give you an excuse to bump into people, Sarah...” he said, holding me from shoulders.

“lam sorry..." I said, looking down.

“Just stay away from him..." he said firmly.

“What? He... You can't be serious, right? I understand you don't like me being close with other guys, but he is a lecturers When he asked me to help him with something, I just can't refuse it” I said a bit angrily.

“Sarah... 1 am not a fu**ing psycho to restrict you from talking with other guys. I indeed wish I can keep you just to my sel But I am not insane. I know you need to have friends and you need to help lecturers. Build positive relationships with people. But just not with this guy... You can support him with whatever the s**t he asked for. But do not ever let him get more close to you. ” he said furiously.

“I don't think he needs to get close to one of his students either” I replied annoyingly. Mr. Patterson seems to be a nice person. I couldn't understand why Jake acts like this.

“You don't know about him, Sarah... You know nothing!” he screamed.

“Maybe I don't know about him, but do you know about him? You don't know even much as I do” I said in the same tone his.

“I know him far better than you think” he said, looking away.

“What do you mean? You know him before he came here." I asked with surprise.

“I... I... don’t know him before that. But I know guys like him because I am a guy too.”

“sarah, Please understand. What I meant by staying away from him is, don't let him originate any kind of a relationship other than a usual teacher-student one. I mean not even a friendship.” he said again, holding me from my shoulders.

His eyes were focussing on mine like he was trying to look through to my soul, and let me feel him. I couldn't see even at of jealousy in those extraordinarily handsome pair of eyes. Instead, they were filled with love and concern. He is concern about me. He is worried about me. My poor babe...

“You don’t have to worry about that, Jake. I will never let him get into something like that. I know my limits" I said, puttin my hands around him and keeping my head on his firm chest.

“This world is so cruel, Sarah. You are like an innocent little doe. It is my responsibility to protect you. I will do that even you don't want me to do so because you are mine.” he said, gently raising my head up and placing his lips on mine.

I didn’t want to run away from him as yesterday... Instead, I wish I could be like this forever.

His lips felt so hot and cozy on mine. I never thought having someone else's lips on mine would feel this great. Our kiss started as a gentle touch, but we both were fully immersed in the divine feeling we both were experiencing. Our kiss grew into a much romantic, intense kiss. He was caressing my head and neck from both of his hands, and my hands were caressing his hair. We both were like in our own little world, forgetting the rest of the world.

God! How a simple kiss could feel this satisfying? Maybe when you are with the right person, you feel it that way...
