Chapter 19 - You Are In Love

BRIANNA'S P. O. V

The alarm rings. I opened my eyes and sat on my bed. I tried remembering everything about yesterday.

"Oh my goodness I slept off while talking to Mr Craine" I said to myself

I quickly took my phone and called him

"Good morning sleepy head" he said

"Good morning sir. I'm sorry I slept off" I said

He chuckles

"How was your night" he asked

"I slept soundly" I said

"And you snored beautifully" he said

"Huh. I don't snore" I argued

"Alright if you say so but this means there might be a little pig in your room" he said

"Huh. Do you mean I am a pig" I asked

I frowned at what he said but deep down I felt great talking to him like this

"Don't you have lectures this morning" he asked

"No" I said

"Alright dear. I have a meeting to attend so let's talk in the evening okay" he said

"Alright sir have a nice day" I said

"Have a nice day too dear" he said

I disconnected the call and prepared for lectures.

It's been months since I came to the university. Thankfully my studies as been going well. My only problem is Max. No matter what he does, I can't seem to love him the way he wants. We have tried to have sex several times but I always stop him. I can't get Mr Craine out of my mind either. He is always in my mind. I stop Max from kissing me because I really wish to be kissed by Mr Craine.

I was in deep thought when I got a phone call. It was Antonella

"Hey girlfriend, how are you" I asked

"I'm good. How are you" she asked

"I'm good too" I said in a low spirit

"Girlfriend, are you alright" she asked

"I'm alright" I said

"Come on Anna, there is something really wrong with you. Please tell me" she said

I told her everything that is happening between Max and I. I told her about my thoughts for Mr Craine.

"Girlfriend, you are in love with Mr Craine" she said

"Huh! What! How can you say such a thing" I said

I was feeling uncomfortable and awkward

"Anna just accept it you love him" she said

I Disconnected the call. She is talking nonsense

I called Max and we planned an outing.

I couldn't concentrate on lectures the whole day. For the first time I avoided Mr Craine's call.

Max and I went to a restaurant for dinner after that we came back to my place. We started kissing. He squeezed my boos hard. I felt pains. I pushed him away

"Babe why are you always like this" he asked

"Please Max. I am sorry I don't feel comfortable with what you were doing to me" I said nervously

"Babe I'm sorry" he said

He stared kissing me again and I responded. He tried to place his hand between my thighs. I allowed him. The kissing turned more passionate and aggressive. The thought of Mr Craine started coming to my mind. His smiles, his beautiful face, his gentleness and even his arrogance. His gorgeous lips flashed through my mind. I pushed Max away again

"Babe come on" he said

"Max please go home and let's talk tomorrow" I said

He refused but with much effort he left.

For three days I have not heard from Max and I am still ignoring Mr Craine's calls.

I closed from lectures and was lazily walking home when I saw Max.

"Hi Max" I said

"Hi Anna. How are you" he said and asked

"I'm good. How are you" I asked

"I'm good" he said

"Max I'm sorry for the other night" I said

"It's alright" he said with a smile.

We talked for a while and agreed to meet.

Everything went back to normal between Max and I.

I was told the principal was looking for me. I went to her. U still don't understand why the receptionist gets nervous whenever she sees or meets me.

"Hello Madam principal" I greeted

"Hello Miss Bennett please sit down" she said with a smile

I sat down and waited for her to talk

"Miss Bennett, we have received an information from Mr Craine. He said you want to read business administration after your secretarial course so this is your time table for 3 subjects to read in combination of the subject you are reading now" she said

I took the time table from the principal. I can't believe this. I have been ignoring him for months and yet he cares for me so much.

The principal also gave me documents and receipts for the payment Mr Craine has made.

"Miss Bennett this is a two year course and you will have more free time than during your secretarial course" she said

"Thank you ma'am" I said

""Miss Bennett you must be very special to Mr Craine" she said

I blushed at the principal's comment.

I left the office and returned to my room. I called my mother and told her everything. She was very happy and I could sense her excitement. After talking to her, I tried calling Mr Craine but the call didn't get through.

Days later I started reading my new subjects.

I closed from lectures and was on my way home when three lady walked up to me.

"Hey bitch" one said

"What" I said

"Didn't you hear your name" another one added

"Who are you girls" I asked

"I am the lady you are sleeping with her man" the third one said

"What! I am not sleeping with your man" I said

"Oh really? So what do you do when you are with him" one asked

"What are you talking about? Which boy" I asked out of infuriation

"Max" one said

I stood there for a while. I can't believe this

"Stay away from my man else you will see what will happen" the self acclaimed girlfriend said

"Don't threaten me" I said

She was about to slap me. I hid my face but nothing came to my face I raised my head and saw a man in Black suit

" Get out of here" he said

The girls quickly left.

"Ma'am please are you alright" he asked respectfully

"Yes I am. Who are you" I asked

"I am your bodyguard ma'am" he said

At that moment, I remembered Mr Craine has appointed someone to ensure my safety. He escorted me to the hostel. I went to my room and turned of the TV. They were playing music. The lady looked familiar. I kept looking at her on the TV then I remembered. She is the lady I saw her picture in Mr Craine's study and she is the lady who has been calling him always.

"Oh my goodness, she is Mr Craine's woman" I said to myself

She is so beautiful. She has slender wait. Her breasts are smaller than mine. Her ass is smaller than mine but it's nicely shaped. I compared myself to her and realised that I am nowhere near her beauty. I checked her name and saw Ivana. Her name is Ivana.
