The next day Rosella woke up with a headache.
Her head was painfully pounded. It felt as if she had smashed her head in a wall, vigorously.
Getting up from the bed, she went towards her bathroom and did her morning routine.
Dante had insisted to drop Linda, Selena and Rosella to there respective dorms.
Mary went back with Jake.
Taking a long hot shower, she wore her favorite grey sweatshirt pairing it with a dark blue denim shorts since it was very hot outside as starting summers were always hot on days and breezier at night.
Wearing a nude look on her face with a bit of mascara, she added a plum shade lip color to her lips with that her makeup look was complete. Tying her hair in a loose bun, she took her backpack and stalked towards the door.
Arriving at the university, she saw many people eying her. She had never worn shorts but today she felt like wearing it.
“Rose!” Mary yelled, making Rosella turn around. “Damn girl you look nice.” She winked at her. Rose blushed. “Thanks.” She replied.
The bell rang and soon they parted ways.
Linda came in view and hugged her to which Rosella hugged her back. “Finally you changed your style.” She stated making Rose chuckle. “And finally you found your man.” Linda flushed deep red. “Hey, he ain’t m-mine yet.” She shyly looked away.
“Yet.” Rosella giggled, earning a smack on her shoulder from Linda.
“Anyways, I’ve heard we have a new teacher for Neuroscience 2330.” Linda spoke as they walked towards their first class. “Really? What happened to Mrs.Drake?” She questioned. “She left due to some family problems I guess but I’ve heard this new professor is hot and also very strict.” She gulped.
Rosella hummed.
Soon they arrived at the class and entered. They took a seat in the middle of the class. “Also the girls were saying that he is the next Chairman of the department of Neuro Medicine and he decided to teach so he could use his free time.”
“Really? I bet he is old with a fat belly.” Rosella shrugged. “Maybe since the girls are always like money is everything even if the guy is ‘hot’ old.” She laughed.
Soon the class started and the teacher started teaching things about the pain and how they effect people who get addicted to pills.
The class slowly ended in a blur.
After two more classes, the two started walking towards the next class.
A bunch of students specially girls stood outside waiting to go inside. Linda and Rosella exchanged amused looks.
“I heard people had to sign for this class to enter but good for us we had this class in our first semester so we can enter without taking the form.” Linda flipped her hair feeling proud that she had taken the course with Rosella.
The girls bumped into each other just to sit on the front seats.
As they entered, the front and middle seats were already filled. Rosella suddenly had a very unsettling feeling about all of this.
They both walked to the back seats.
After settling themselves, they looked at the entrance where the girls entered in an ample amount and as well as the boys.
The class was heavily filled with kids. Almost a hundred or more.
After a few minutes, silence erupted in the class as the door knob twisted and it opened revealing the shadow of a human.
A man entered in the class, two books within his left hand. Rosella looked towards the personality who had seemed too freeze everyone in there seats.
Her breath automatically hitched.
There stood a God like man, scratch that it was Adonis himself. He was tall. Roughly a 6′5 height. He wore a black button up shirt, a black tie on the neatly ironed collar and a pair of black slacks with black shiny shoes.
His sleeves were rolled till his elbows. The inked skin and veins seeped out of his sleeves. He wore silver rings on both of his hands, index and middle finger. An ear cuff on his left ear and an apple watch on his right wrist and some silver bracelets on his left wrist.
He was the definition of sexiness.
His jet black hair styled back with some loose curls on his forehead made him look young as the day he was born. The piercing light grey eyes had specks of silverish green in them. Spectacles rested on the bridge of his nose. Plump lips, high cheekbones and a sharp jawline which could slice anything.
His bulging muscles were ripped. It felt as if the shirt would rip at any moment.
He was a sex god.
Rosella was struck. She never found anyone so sexy. He made everyone stop just by the dark aura he held around him.
His serious sculptured face and a cold look made everyone quiver in there seats.
There was something menacing about him. Something dangerous.
He took powerful strides towards the podium and placed the books down with a thud.
Looking around, he adjusted his tie.
“Welcome to Neuroscience 2330, I’m Dr.Serafino but before I start my lesson, I want all the unwanted faces out of my class at an instant.”
His voice was deep and guttural. Rosella stilled. A new kind of sensation ran through her veins. It was monotone just like his blank expression. It carried a vibrating resonant within it.
“Leave.” His one harsh word was enough to kick the students out.
Half of the class left, leaving fifty or sixty students behind.
His shiny orbs looked back and forth. “I have a few rules in my class; do not speak until I tell you too otherwise you’re out. Raise your hand before you ask a question if not than you’re out. Interrupt me once, you’re out. No talking and I want hand written notes, if not you’re out. Lastly the people from second semester will remain quiet only the seniors will participate in my class. If you cant obey these simple rules than you’re out of my class at an instant and there is no coming back, am I understood?” He rasped out in a dominant way.
Some of the people nodded while the others stayed quiet.
“One more rule, I want verbal answers and you all can address me by Dr.Serafino or Sir or Professor.” A wave of yes’s were heard in the class.
“I don't expect everyone to pass my class, since by the end of the semester there will be only a few left so be careful what you do.” He said while he assembled a few papers with his rough tattooed hands.
His voice rang in the whole class and he wasn't even in his whole yelling state.
He was calm yet dangerous.
“We’ll be starting with the introdu-" The Professor was interrupted by a girl and boy who were talking in a hushed manner.
Everyone stilled, they knew he would do something scary.
Rosella looked at them. She tried to capture there attention but they were too busy to hear.
She sighed.
“You two at the back.” His velvety tone brought the attention back to him. “Yes sir?” The boy in a black tee said.
“Out of my class.”
They both gawked at him. All they did was talk but he was controlling as he demanded attention of everyone in the class or anywhere he went.
The girl looked like she was about to cry but they had no other choice.
They both quickly left not wanting any other embarrassing scene to unfold.
Directing his attention back to the students he spoke in a cold manner, “Disobey me once, you’ll repeat your year twice and I’ll make sure to deduct your credit hours.”
Everyone gulped.
Rosella was intrigued by her Professor. He was someone with huge secrets. He was a cold man who didn't care about the so called people around him.
She wanted to know more.
She wanted to devour every inch of his. It was wrong to think about it like that but she felt tingles on her skin whenever her eyes landed on his devilish body and handsome face.
She wanted to feel him.
She wanted to hear his voice once again.
“Now lets start the lesson, class.”
“I’ll be providing you your previous essays which have been marked by me. Mind you, not by Mrs. Drake.”Silence dripped in the atmosphere.Linda nervously gulped. She looked at Rosella and grabbed her hand.Rosella softly smiled at her and gave her a reassuring grip, silently conveying the words 'it will be alright'.One by one he started to call out the names.Some of the students had a depressed look on there faces whilst only some out of the majority looked happy including Linda. She had secured an 83 in her essay.“Whoever gets below 45 is out.” His thick dense Italian accent ringed around the classroom.Almost ten of the students left the class with there heads hung low in shame and sadness.Soon moments after Rosella's name was called.She walked towards the desk where the hot specimen sat on the chair, more like his very own throne. His eyes scanned her paper before looking up the timid girl who stood infront of her with her hands folded at the front.Her palms went sweaty all
‘The acer finally failed and will repeat her half credit hours.’The hot new topic of the university. News spreaded like fire in every department and corner.She was the main gossip now.People bickered about her in every possible way.After the class with Dr.Serafino, she immediately had dashed out to her dorm, where she cried over the paper and her university life.He had made sure that she’ll repeat half of her subjects even though she had aced them all with the highest grades with difficulty since sometimes there were people who tried to compete with her.The next day, she had arrived in a black skirt and a white tuck in collared t-shirt. The students slightly snickered at her.She had become the laughing stock.“Took her long enough to fail.” One of the girls smirked who was busy sipping her cold brew. “Yeah, she totally deserved it, since she is such a stuck up bitch.” Another replied with a nod. “True! In high school she used to degrade people and fire bitchy comments.” They a
There is this moment when you achieve bad grades and you’re scared of your parents, it feels as if you’ll collapse at any moment.Rosella felt the very same way as she stood infront of the Professors office. Blowing a breath out, she finally decided to knock on the door.After a few moments of silence, she heard a faint ‘come in.’ Releasing another deep breath, she finally twisted the knob and made her way inside.Her eyes darted around the huge office which had a very elegant black and grey colored interior. Two black couches place at the end of the small bar. A whole length mirror at the side of the window opposite to where she was standing.A huge bookshelf that covered the corner was filled up with different types of novels and scientific books.His doctoral coat neatly rested on the chair where he was seated behind the huge oak table.His sleek tattooed fingers working on the Mac.Nervously clutching her bag she slowly approached his table.The office smelled like coffee and fres
RosellaI starred in the midst of the air. My thoughts running a marathon.After the conversation, Dr. Serafino declared that I wasn’t a scholarship student anymore, more or less he basically kicked me out.My inhaler rested within my hand as I tried to calm my breaths down. My heart rapidly thumped against my chest and my breaths shortened by each passing second, the inhaler didn’t help my asthma right now.My parents would be so disappointed in me.Running a hand through my hair, I sighed. They would feel so sad.Letting a scream out, I finally plopped myself on the comfortable bed. Closing my eyes, I listened to the silence, my mind drifted back to him. He made my insides flip and I couldn’t understand why I felt that way. When his had eyes met mine in the class, it felt as if the world had stopped.It was just me and him.Why am I even thinking about him?Soon my thoughts were cut short when I heard my phone vibrate against my bed. Receiving the call without glancing at the number
RosellaBeep.. beep.. beep.I groaned at the sound of the alarm. Please let me sleep more!!!Throwing a pillow on the alarm, I shifted to the other side of the bed but then I jolted up awake, remembering that I had a class. Fuck.Getting out, I went towards my closet and shuffled through my clothes finding a pair of denim jeans and a t-shirt saying ‘bitches dont give a shit’.Changing my clothes into a new ones I stalked towards the bathroom for my morning routine.I only had one lecture, happy that I didn't had to see his face today. Always making my blood boil. I scoffed.“He is such a bloody asshole.” I muttered under my breath.Grabbing my bag, I exited the dorm.Arriving at the entrance I abruptly halted in my steps. Dr. Serafino was getting out of his luxurious sleek red Porsche. Holy shit that car is fucking hot.His phone was attached to his ear, probably talking to someone. His other index was twirling the car keys. He was wearing a black tux today.I could see a faint smile
Rosella“Stella that should be on the top not on the right!”I looked in the direction of the voices. Papa chuckled. “Zoe, she is here.” He yelled out, grasping the attention of mama and Stella. They immediately dashed out of the kitchen towards the living room where we were.“Oh my gosh, Rosella darling.” Mama came towards me as she crushed her body onto mine. “I’ve missed you so m..much.” Her voice cracked in the end. I knew she was crying. Hugging her back tightly I replied, “I’m back mama."Detaching herself, she took a hold of my face, “You’ve grown so thin, baby don't you eat properly?” She asked me and I gulped. I hesitantly nodded. I wasn’t gonna upset her. I wasn’t gonna tell her that the anorexia had came back to eat me up. But I had to stay strong.Pecking my forehead, she gave me a tight hug once again.“Rose, how have you been?” My gaze shifted to the owners voice and I stilled.There she stood.She looked more beautiful than before.“Stella.. I’m good, you?” I spoke, wal
RosellaI’ve always wondered if I was the same old happy kid I used to be? If nothing had changed back then, would I have to be here? Would I have to keep up with the expectations of my family?I guess yes or no. Since time is always the best and the worst predictor.“Rosy how does this dress looks on me?” Stella said, as she showed me a reddish black sleek long mermaid dress. “Its beautiful.” I replied back, my eyes scanning the dress taking in each and every detail.“You’ve got to wear this.”“Really? The theme is red and gold but I really want to wear this so I could be a rare piece.” She twirled around.“You can and I bet it will look pretty.” I happily clasped my hands and stood up. “We’ll give you a gold look and some gold jewelry, you’d blend in nicely.”“That’s a good plan, also I have a dress for you, it’s purely gold.” She hurriedly shuffled through her huge collection of clothes.Taking it out she placed it on bed. “Here, this color will definitely suit you.” She giggled.I
Rosella“Meet my fiancée Zeus Serafino.”I couldn’t digest the fact that my professor was her fiancée.This had to be some kind of joke.My eyes hastily landed to his tattooed hands and I saw a silver ring on his ring finger. My breath hitched. How did I miss this out?“H..Hi sir.” I hesitantly spoke. Stella looked at me with a questioning gaze. “Do you both know each other?"“She is my student.” His cold yet husky voice entered in my ears.“Oh my god really?” Stella replied excitedly as he gave her a curt nod. “You know what Rosy, Zeus is such a bossy human when he is in the class teaching but a sweetheart outside the university just for me.” She uttered, clasping his arm tightly. His once cold face had a faint smile and you could tell it was genuine. That hurt. Elisa gagged. “Oh please stop the cringe old flirting.” She muttered under breath making me chuckle. “Ms. Dankworth, how come you know Stella?” He asked as his eyes scanned my face for any lie. I suddenly felt sweaty and he
