Love
A simple word with a simple meaning but holds the power to conquer the world. Sometimes I question how can a word which consists of four letters make the mightiest ones to kneel in front of it.
What less than love is like, and more than love is called
OBSESSION.
AND I WAS HIS OBSESSION.

"Lilly"
Samantha called for her when she was coming out of her class which just finished.
" Yeah, what are you doing here you never wait for me or…"
"Or what?" she raised her eyebrows in a questioning way like asking her friend to continue.
" Or you finally realized that you love me and cannot live without me my dear Sam."
Liliana teased her friend with a flirting tone and a French accent.
Both the girls laughed and started to head towards the central administrations wing of the university. Liliana almost forgot about the meeting, or you can say pretended to forget about the meeting to avoid the particular person whose even name was enough to get her body to react in a way you would see like when a person sees a ghost. She wanted to avoid the meeting by the excuse of forgetting about it, but her best friend being whipped for that brown-eyed demon remembered and that's how she ended up in the current situation.
Both the girls were now standing in the front of the managing directors office where Jason Blake and Mr. Jones were in a meeting with the managing director of the University.
They were filled with hesitation, one because she would be meeting her, while the other one was hesitating for another reason. Her heart was beating loudly, such that she could hear it in her ears. She was scared of him so much that her body was freezing cold, and shivers of nervousness were running down her spine while the dangerous smirk he passed her in the morning did nothing good to her but only increased her anxiety levels.
'Calm down Lilly he won't do anything.'
She was trying to calm herself down, but nothing was helping her.
"Hey Lilly, come on, they are calling us. And don't be nervous".
Samantha said when she saw the pale and nervous figure of her friend, standing like an ice sculpture at the entrance with the reception was located.
" Yes, I am coming".
'' Sigh' calm down and keep your cool. Don't let him intimidate you'.
' Not this time, not now at least '.
" Come in, Miss Rosi and Miss Green".
Mr. Jones welcomed the two ladies with a smile. He frowned seeing the tensed face of his favorite student who always kept her calm no matter what situation she faced.
He pats the shoulders of Lilliana and passes her an assuring smile. She smiled at the gesture of her teacher. Lillianna respected and liked Mr. Jones a lot and saw him always as an inspirational figure in her life. When she crossed a difficulty or was in a tough situation, he was like the guide which magically appeared everywhere whenever she felt lost.
"What happened Lilly, are you fine?"
"Yes, Mr. Jones I am fine."
"You were a little pale in the morning too and were limping. Did you get into some sort of accident or accidentally injured yourself? Are you sick, if so, you shouldn't have to come to college and take a day off? You should take care of yourself, child."
He was ranting like a worried parent whose child was sick and injured. She was looking at him with admiration in her eyes. He was really like a father figure for her which she craved for years. Not like she didn't have a father but,
He was more like her father than her own biological father.
They both were talking like they were the only ones in the room without any care of the world. The father daughter pair were so busy within themselves that they didn't even notice people looking at them with fondness, well staring at them with fondness and surprise. Fond because of their understanding of each other and surprised because the duo didn't even notice them.
