There were times I'd questioned myself in the past, constantly asking myself how I'd gotten myself into the mess I always ended up in. If only I could answer that question perfectly, maybe I'd be able to recognize my shortcomings and steer clear of trouble. But I've never seen the use of thinking logically until that is, I'm stuck in a predicament I can't quite comprehend.
Like right now.
I sat across from Mr. Sinclair, the young blond Math teacher that had single-handedly swooned all the girls in the 12th grade. I mean, no one could denyโeven the sour and measly guys that hated the manโthat he was a handsome lad. He exerted confidence as he spoke, sat, ate, taught, and even stared. There was just something mysterious and sexy about the man that made any girl with good eyes crave him.
Well, with that aside, came the real trouble.
"Excuse me?" I questioned him as he leaned back in his armchair, crossing his legs, his deep blue eyes narrowed in slits as he stared at me. The scrutiny of his piercing gaze made me divert mine elsewhere, my focus on anything but him.
"You want me to repeat myself, Miss Davies?" He asked, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lip as I tried but failed to deflect the effects of his glare.
"For Pete's sake, it's Samantha. Sam preferably. Who still calls the younger generation 'miss or mister'? that's fucking weird" I retorted, folding my arms defensively as he arched a brow seemingly at my response.
"Language, Miss Davies" He reprimanded gently, his gaze running up and down the frame of my body that was visible to him before fixating his eyes on my lips. Perv.
"As I said before, I called you back to speak with you about your sexual conduct in the class, which I noticed especially today with a fellow student by the name, Zack. Does that ring any bells, Miss Davies?" He asked, slowly running his tongue over his bottom lip while I watched like a thirsty kitten whose craving could only be stifled by the man sitting before me.
"It doesn't ring any bells I'm afraid" I shrugged dismissively, "Is this meeting finally over now?" I asked, looking tentatively at the wall clock behind him, it had nearly reached an hour since I got in here.
Mr. Sinclair laughed heartily, uncrossing his legs and leaning in so our faces were only inches apart, "I don't think you understand the predicament you've quite fallen into Miss Davies" He tucks a loose strand of red curls behind my ear, our eyes locked on one another's, "You see, I currently have the power to determine whether you can continue your stay at Bahia High or if you get expelled for misconduct. I'm sure you'd prefer the former if I'm not mistaken, right?"
I narrow my eyes in slits as I stare helplessly at him. He may be handsome and attractive, but I would have never guessed that "a cunning snake" was also a trait that'd been added to his resume. I wanted to retort back or spit in his face but that would surely piss him off and end his tirade but where'd be the fun in that?
"What do you want?" I asked as calmly as I could, watching ruefully as the corner of his lips broke into a heartwarming smile.
"That's more like it, Miss Davies. Obedience and submissiveness to a greater power is the smartest choice a person could make" he muttered, leaning in closer till our faces were merely brushing against one another.
"Are you sure you're ready for what's yet to come? How far are you willing to go to keep me silent?" he whispered now, his breath tingling against my lips as he slid a hand around my nape, pulling me closer to him.
"As far as possible" I mutter before irrepressible laughter escapes my lips, startling Mr. Sinclair, making him lean back into his seat with a frown.
"I'm so sorry," I say in between fits as I try but fail to calm my amusement down a notch for the sake of Frank's-Mr. Sinclair- growing annoyance.
"You broke out of character yet again" He snaps, running a hand over his temple in a bid to calm his nerves, "This is the second retake we're doing today, Sam. We've been on this since you got here. Roleplaying isn't as hard as it seems to you or funny in any way, especially when it's technically realistic"
"I apologize" I lie, "I just can't deal with the assertion of too much dialog, I just want to get to the sex part" I whine, fold my arms and recline back in my seat
"We would have if you hadn't interrupted the scene"
