Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

"Are you in any pain?" He asked me. He was busy cleaning and pampering me. Not only that, but he just opened a box of newly bought towels. It seemed like Tobit made sure he was prepared, and I smiled at the thought. Even he ran by the same principles as I did.

"I'm okay." I assured him. I found it strange how he was being so gentle and caring with me. I thought this was only a quick fuck and that he wouldn't care much about me apart from only using me for a quick fuck.

He put the towel away after cleaning me, and then he gently helped fix my skirt. He kept the panties though and shoved them in his pocket.

"Why are being nice?" I asked him.

He looked at me and stood closer, holding my knees as he tilted his head. "Meaning?"

"I don't know. It's just, that I thought we were only doing this...for the sex and the fun of it. But you're being so caring, and that's not usually how fuck buddies do things. At least I know that part."

He smiled, amused. "We're not fuck buddies, Bonnie. You're mine, which means I get to take care of you." His words made blood rush to my cheeks. It was, like, he meant every single word he said. "There also is no harm in getting to know each other." And then he pecked my lips.

I slowly got off his desk. I then reached for my bag, but he stopped me. He sat down on his chair and he pulled me to sit on his lap. I was still flustered after what he just said, processing everything, and now he made me sit on his lap. I was not used to this. I may have been in a relationship before, but I was never familiar with any of this.

"I was hoping we could have lunch together. I already ordered us something. I should arrive here soon." I added as he rubbed my inner thigh. "That's if you don't mind."

Now he wanted to have lunch with me and although lunch was something I often skipped, I also didn't mind spending it with someone like him. I didn't have any friends to spend a time like this with, and maybe it felt like I needed this. And I did actually want to be around him and learn more about him. He was my handsome science professor, and right now, I would do anything to learn more about him and feel more of him touch me.

Later, the food arrived. He went out the door and came back carrying two takeout bags, two cans of soda and some snacks. It was a sweet gesture and thoughtful of him, I thought. It was as if the man did also have some romantic side in him, and for some reason one stupid question just had to pop up in my head.

"Are you in a relationship?" I asked it out loud.

I felt like an idiot because I also worded that out entirely wrong. If he was in a relationship, then obviously he wouldn't have slept with me. But stupid me just had to go and ruin this moment and make this awkward and weird.

It took Tobit a moment to respond, and I truly wished that he didn't say anything, yet he did. "No, Bonnie. I am not in a relationship."

He said, and began eating his fries. "Does it bother you that there might be another woman?"

"What?" I looked at him. Talk about unexpected questions, now his entirely caught me off guard. I didn't really think of it that way and now that he mentioned it, I didn't. I didn't like the idea of him being with another woman, and also didn't even think too much about it. I was actually glad he admitted to being single and that none of those girls in my class got their hands on him.

"I see." I then heard him say, as if I had already answered him. My mouth opening as if I were about to say something more, but then I didn't.

I only stared down at my chili cheese fries and gulped, thinking of all the things that could be going on in his head. I wanted to avoid seeming like the creepy student in his class, obsessed with his dick. And again, I literally came in my panties while he was giving me science lessons, thrice in two separate sessions. I doubted things could've gotten any worse than that.

The room filled with science and I decided to keep my mouth quiet, before I asked him another one of my inappropriate questions. It most certainly wasn't the right time to make things any more weird, than they already were.

"If you have any questions, you shouldn't feel shy to ask me. You know that, right?"

I looked at him and could see the sincerity in his eyes. I did have more questions, less personal questions, and just basic things I wanted to know about him. He was an interesting man, and it was hard to believe he wasn't already married at his age. I didn't even see a ring on his finger.

I knew that he was new in town, so I started from there. "So are you from, originally?"

"Seattle." He sat back, rubbing the small of my back. "I have lived there for years too, and eventually, I figured I'd go out and try other places…new places…"

"Do you have any family there?" I felt more relaxed now that we're actually having a real conversation, without him flirting with me or using any of his remarks.

"I have a younger brother and much younger sister. My parents have passed away, so it's only been us three."

My eyes softened after I heard that. I honestly felt bad for him and in a way I did understand what it felt like to lose a parent, or rather parents. My mother has been absent since the day my father died, she might as well have been dead too.

"Sorry for your loss." I said.

He looked at me as if he didn't expect me to say that. He then cupped my cheek and left a soft kiss on my lips.
