Chapter fifteen
Dimitri
The next day…
Last night I was so excited to finally see Gianna.
I couldn’t believe how much I was feeling this girl.
Ms. Corrine had wanted us to get to know each other because she saw that we would be good together before we even knew it.
I wouldn’t admit this to Gianna yet because I didn’t want to scare her off, but I was falling for her.
There was something about the way she looked at me. The way she smiled always melted my heart like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. I thought I could wait three weeks to see her again, but by the end of the second week, I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to see her in person, and it was epic!
I pulled up to her dormitory and made my way inside.
I called her to let her know that I was downstairs.
She got off the elevator with a smile on her face, but when she saw me standing there, she let out a scream and came running straight into my arms. I swooped her up off her feet and twirled her around like I saw men do their women in the movies.
I didn’t mean to sound cliché, but that was just how happy I was to see Gianna.
I pressed my lips to hers and we started kissing like crazy, at least until we realized we had an audience.
Then I grabbed her bag and her hand, and we fled the building, laughing all the way to my truck.
I opened the passenger side door for her, and she climbed in.
After I shut the door, I headed to the driver’s side.
I climbed in behind the wheel and leaned over for another kiss.
Gianna giggled as our lips met in the middle.
Then I turned the key, backed out and merged onto the highway.
I couldn’t wait to get to the hotel so we could have some time alone.
We held hands the short distance to the hotel.
It was literally minutes from the university.
Once I pulled into the Home2 Suites by Hilton parking lot, Gianna got more excited. After I parked the truck, I hopped out of the truck. I went around to the passenger side and was about to open the door when I heard a voice behind me.
“Nigga why the fuck are you here?”
I recognized the voice as the dude from the funeral. I turned to face him as Gianna opened the door to the truck. By this time, I was pissed that this dude had obviously followed us here from the dormitory.
“Dude, don’t you have something better to do than follow us around?” I asked.
“Nigga please! Ain’t nobody following yo ass! I am however, following my girl though! Gianna what you doing here with this nigga?” he asked.
“Oh my God! Are you following me?!” Gianna asked.
“Just answer my question! Why are you HERE with HIM?!!”
“That’s none of your business!” Gianna took a deep breath before she spoke again. “Professor Alexander, you are way out of line!”
Professor? I knew I heard what she said, but did she really mean that shit?
This nigga was her professor! But he was the same nigga that came to the church and claimed he was her man the day of her grandmother’s funeral.
I was confused as fuck because Gianna had to be smarter than this.
She couldn’t have been sleeping with her professor.
“I told you not to call me that after business hours!” he spoke through clenched teeth. “My name is Jonas! JONAS! JONAS!”
“What the fuck! Is this nigga crazy or something?” I asked as I turned to Gianna.
“Is everything alright?” an elderly white lady asked, concern written over her face. “Do you need me to call the police or get security?”
“It’s okay, ma’am. I can handle it,” I responded.
“Mind your own business KAREN!!” the professor yelled angrily. The woman didn’t bother to ask anything else as she took off inside the hotel.
“Dude seriously, are you crazy?!” I asked.
“DON’T CALL ME CRAZY!!” he yelled as he glared at me.
Yea, this fool was LOCO! I hadn’t got a good vibe from this nigga from day one, and now I really felt like something was off with his ass. He seemed like his mind was becoming unhinged. “Go away Professor Alexander!” Gianna said.
“So, fa real Gianna… you just gon play me like that huh?” he asked.
“I already told you that what we had is over! It was a mistake that I wish I could take back, but I can’t!”
“What the hell does that mean?” he asked.
“It means I wish I had never gotten involved with you! I knew it was wrong, and I should have listened to my first mind!” Then Gianna pulled her phone from her pocket and said, “If you don’t leave right now, I’m gonna hit record and take it to the dean first thing Monday!”
“Wow! I can’t believe you’re doing me like this,” the dude said.
“Dude, I think she already asked you to leave,” I said as I stepped in.
“Nigga fuck you!”
Before he could finish his rampage, Gianna turned her phone on and hit record.
She turned the phone towards him, and he looked at her with so much anger, I was actually worried about what his next move would be.
But he didn’t say or do anything else. He just turned around, climbed in his truck and burned rubber out of the parking lot.
Gianna put her phone away, and I could tell that she was shaken up. I put my arms around her and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Yea. I’m so sorry…”
“You don’t owe me any apologies. Come on. Let’s go inside,” I said. I opened the back of the truck and pulled out my bag and hers.
Then hand in hand, we walked inside the hotel. We walked over to the front desk, and I checked in. After I signed the paperwork, I was given the key. We made our way to the elevators and hopped on the first one that dinged to a stop. I hit the number three on the panel as the doors closed.
The elevator stopped on the third floor, and we headed towards room 325. Once I let us in, Gianna turned to me and said, “I know you’re probably disgusted by what you heard down there.”
“Confused, yes. Disgusted, no.”
“I made a mistake Dimitri. He seduced me and I had some weak moments but just know that I haven’t had anything to do with him outside of class since I met you. If it wasn’t for class, I would have nothing to do with him at all,” she confessed.
“I’m worried about you, babe. That dude is clearly unstable,” I pointed out.
“I’ll admit that he was angry, but he’s not crazy.
He’s one of the smartest men I know. He’s just mad because he’s not getting his way!
I ended things with him and now he won’t leave me alone, but it doesn’t matter.
I have finals Tuesday and Wednesday, so after that I’ll be done and on my way back home to you,” she said as she wrapped her arms around my waist. “Now, can we stop talking about him and concentrate on us?”
She only had to ask me once. I bent my head and pressed my lips against hers. “I need to take a shower real quick,” I said.
“Can I join you?”
“Ssshhhiiid! You didn’t even have to ask,” I said as we headed to the bathroom.
I turned the water on, and we quickly removed our clothing. I wasted no time pulling her close before inserting my dick inside her. She moaned loudly as I lifted her up off her feet. As the water cascaded over us, I showed her just how much I had been missing her.
I wrapped my lips around her soft neck and sucked on it lightly. As her moans grew louder, I sucked harder. I knew what I was doing and although it might sound childish, I wanted that nigga to know that I was here to stay. Whatever him and Gianna had before I stepped in the picture was over with.
As I held her butt in my hands, my thrust grew deeper and faster. After I busted inside her, I released her, and we washed up. Then we rinsed our bodies and stepped out. Once we had gotten dressed, I turned to Gianna to find out if she wanted to stay in or go out for dinner.
“I just wanna stay inside with you. We can go out tomorrow, but right now, I just wanna enjoy being with you,” she said as she hugged me.
“Well, let’s figure out what we’re gonna eat so we can get back to enjoying each other,” I said as I kissed her forehead.
We decided on Razzoo’s Cajun Café and while we waited for the food to be delivered, we cuddled and watched TV. “I’m not trying to scare you or anything,” Gianna said as she linked her fingers with mine as her head lay on my chest. “But I’ve never felt this strongly about a man before.”
“Wow! Really?” I asked.
She sat up and looked into my eyes. “I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my grandmother handpicked you especially for me. Knowing how much she adored you made it easy for me to trust you. It made it easy for me to love you,” she said shyly as she smiled and blushed.
“Love! Did you say you love me?”
“I did say that. You don’t have to say it back…”
“I wanna say it back,” I said.
“What?”
“I’ve been trying to figure out my feelings for the past three weeks.
Ever since the day I met you. I know it might seem like I’m rushing this, but I don’t care.
Like you said, your grandmother thought we were perfect for each other.
I love you Gianna, and I wanna see where this thing can take us,” I confessed.
“You mean that?”
“Absolutely! You have no idea how much I missed you over the past couple of weeks. I’ve literally thought of you every single day!” I said with a laugh. “I was even caught daydreaming about you at work a couple of times.”
“No!” she exclaimed in shock.
“Fa real! But before you and I decide to move forward with this into a full- blown relationship, I need to know if you’re sure that things are over between you and ol’ boy.”
“Things are over and done! They’ve been over since the night we slept together. Like I said, I’ve never felt this way before about anybody. Not only that, but he’s married…”
“So, you were sleeping with your married professor?” I asked. Now, that was some shit I didn’t like. It was one thing to fuck your professor, but to have sex with him knowing that he was married. Yea, that was crazy!
“I swear I just found out. I know it might sound crazy since I’ve been a student for almost four years, but I don’t pay attention to my professors like that. Plus, he never wore a ring, there were no pictures of his wife anywhere. How was I supposed to know?” she asked.
“That’s crazy,” I said as I shook my head.
The phone started to ring and when I answered, it was the delivery driver calling to let me know that he was downstairs with our food.
I ended the call and told Gianna that I’d be right back.
I made my way downstairs and signed for our food.
Then I headed back upstairs thinking about all that Gianna had revealed to me since I got here.
I hated that she had done what she did, but I loved her.
With love came trust, so I was going to trust her until she gave me a reason not to.
Earlier, I saw with my own two eyes that the nigga she had been messing with was unstable.
I was sure that she was done with him because of how she reacted when he showed up.
Once I got back to our room, she approached me with a sad look on her face. “What happened?” I asked. “What’s wrong?”
“I hope nothing after I just told you how I feel about you, but I just can’t help but feel like we’re not in a good place,” she said with a worried expression on her beautiful face.
“I’ll admit that everything I found out tonight is a lot, but I love you, Gianna. I’m not willing to just give up on us just yet.”
“Really?” she said as a single tear slipped from her eye.
I quickly brushed it away. “You don’t have to cry. I’m not going anywhere,” I said.
“You promise?”
“I promise.” She puckered up her lips and I kissed her. Then we hugged each other tightly before we started to eat our food.
A few hours later, after we were full and had ravaged each other’s bodies again, we laid in bed cuddled together butt ass naked. I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to envelope my body a little after one o’clock in the morning.
The next morning, I woke up with Gianna in my arms again. I started kissing her neck in an effort to wake her up. She moaned deeply as I climbed on top of her and entered her again. Soon, her eyes opened, and she smiled at me.
Several positions and orgasms later, we laid back in bed as we huffed and puffed to catch our breath. “Whew! What a way to wake me up,” she said as she continued to inhale deeply and exhale.
“That’s what I’m saying. I couldn’t resist lying next to you when you got all that ass on me,” I joked as we both laughed. “So, what do you wanna do today?”
“Since you’re the visitor, we can do whatever you wanna do.”
“Don’t leave it up to me because we won’t leave this room,” I responded. “I came out here to spend time with you because I missed you, so if we don’t leave this room until tomorrow, that’s fine with me.”
“Wow! That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me,” she said as she blushed.
“I mean it. You’re my main focus for the next two days.”
“I appreciate that babe.”
“So, do you wanna go back to sleep or you wanna jump in the shower?” I asked.
“I’m still a little tired, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to go back to sleep. At least for a couple more hours.”
“That’s fine with me.” I pulled her back into my arms and shut my eyes. Shortly after, we both fell back to sleep.
We woke up a couple of hours later and decided to go to the Houston Aquarium. Sure, it was a place for families, but I was looking forward to dining in the restaurant. So, once we got dressed, we headed out. It was about three o’clock in the afternoon, but it wasn’t too hot.
Once I paid for us to get into the aquarium, we walked around for about an hour before we went to the top floor for dinner.
Because it was a Saturday, there was a little wait for us to be seated.
But it didn’t take that long. We were seated at a table next to one of the large aquariums that held several different types of fish in it.
“You ever been here before?” I asked.
“I’ve been to The Aquarium before, but this is the first time I’m dining here. It’s a really nice restaurant.”
“Definitely.”
We placed our orders and talked until our food came.
Once our food was brought to the table, we ate.
I was really enjoying my time with Gianna, despite the little hiccup we had last night.
I expected to walk out of the hotel room to find my truck vandalized or something.
That nigga had issues and I hoped that Gianna did what she had to in order to stay clear of him.
Now that I knew he was her professor, I knew she didn’t have a choice but to see him. Luckily for her, she would be back home by Friday. Thank God she wouldn’t have to deal with his ass anymore. I just wish I could convince her that the dude was crazy!
My only hope was that she could get through her final exam and be done with him without any more incidents.
