Chapter 2

“Sian”

Whatever he was doing at that time stopped for a moment. He looked up and was face to face with Rachel.

He cocked an eyebrow.

He has no idea as why his lover seemed to admire his sarcatic remarks. Surely, he is not by any means romantic man but at least he tried to make her happy.

”Please stop doing that. Give me a time to cuddle with you” Rachel flashed him a smile that he so loved. How can he ever say no to her?

“I only have 2 days left to mark all these dunderheads paper. Surely you know that, don’t you?”

Rachel just nodded.

“But you were so caught up with marking to even notice me this past week. I am beginning to question your love for me” that minx. She know exatcly what she did to him.

True, he never said those three words out loud for he is not a man who shows his love by words but instead with action. But deep down, Rachel knows about his true feeling for her. She never ask more from him and for that he was very thankfull.

“You know that…”

“I know, Sian. It’s just getting at my nerves sometimes. I just missed you so bad. I know how you appreciate your time for work but….”

Sian has enough of this and got up from his seat to stand in front of Rachel who was now openly fidgeting with her fingers. He lifted his finger and pull her chin higher to meet his eyes.

“Stop babbling, woman. You are talking nonsense right now” Rachel stopped babbling instantly.

Without further warning, Sian put a chaste kiss on her lips. Rachel was left dumbfounded.

“Now, tell me where do you want us to spend time together?”

With that, Sian could never been happy when Rachel threw herself at him and kiss him passionately.

End flashback….

“Professor Reynald”

He looked up from his paper to find a very dashing middle-aged man standing outside his office.

“May I come in?” Sian just nodded and offered the man to sit in front of him.

“To what do I owe this pleasure, Mr. Narls?”

The man who was now smiling genuinely at him just shrugged his shoulder.

“Don’t you heard rumors spreading along the other professors?” The man called Stephen Narls asked the curious professor.

“What rumors?” Asked Sian despites his better judgement. He was the one not to ask or spread some silly rumors. Hell, he never wanted to know about it.

Stephen gave him a knowing look.

“There was a new student who just enrolled this morning. All the staff were shocked to death when they realized who the girl was”

“So what? The girl has nothing to do with me, Narls. I don’t even know her!” Snapped him when Stephen’s eyes were twinkling like mad.

”I am sure you want to get to know her, Sian. She remind me of someone we knew”

With that, Sian’s poor heart started to pump faster. What does this old man meant? Get a hold of yourself, Sian! It’s not what you think!

“I assure you, Narls that whatever you think is not or will be true. Now, find yourself out because I got a lot of things to do. Goodbye”

Stephen Narls doesn’t need to tell twice. Before he left Sian’s room, he said

“I hope you give yourself a chance, Sian. It’s not everyday people get to have a second chance at happiness”
