He Caught Her
ENTRY 14.2 *** “You seem weird, Lana,” Cora asked and sipped on her glass. Lana heaved a deep sigh. She could still feel that heavy stare. And she was confused why Ace needed to shoot his eyes at her. She knew that Ace was aware of her contact with his father. But she just said it one time in order for Ace to raise his grades in her subject. Ace is a graduating student. Thus, he needs to gain high grades. She could feel that the man was a threat to her since she was the only teacher that his father has been contacted and followed the old man. She sighed. “What’s with the heavy sighs?” Lana shook her head, and she felt a slight bit of sting of pain in her head. It seems like she already drinks a lot of beer. Aside from the drinks for the day, they also order one bucket of beer. “I think I drank too much,” she frowned, “I bet I need to go. How about you?” she asked and locked her gaze on Cora. Cora formed a sly smirk on her lips and bit the lower one after. “I spotted a hunky earlier. I’m afraid I can’t—” “Oh!” Lana interrupted, “—it’s fine. I’ll just take a cab. Besides, the bar is not that far from my apartment,” she replied. Cora knitted her forehead. “Are you sure?” Lana nodded. “Yeah.” “I don’t think so. Perhaps, I let someone send you—” “No!” she complained, her loud voice tinted the relaxed ambiance. Cora looked around and gave an apologetic look before she faced Lana. “Girl…” she whispered, “— are you nuts?” Lana let out a soft chuckle. Although it was not that bright in their place, Cora could see that Lana had already taken too much alcohol as her face was burning red. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Sorry about that she said.” Cora shook her head and smiled. “Come on, and I will get a cab for you,” she presented, making Lana nod her head. Soon as Lana stood up, her vision got hazy for seconds, but Cora walked closer to her and held her at her waist. “I… I’m good,” Lana said and let out a soft chuckle. “Good?” Cora frowned, “you can’t even stand straight,” she added. Her eyes went down to the bottle of beer that she drank. “Geez, when did you become a drinker?” Lana let out a soft chuckle. “I always drink,” she replied as they walked their way towards the exit. Cora rolled her eyes. “Of course, stupid. Damn, it seems like I can’t have fun with a hunky tonight. You’re wasted, girl,” she said and shook her head. Lana didn’t reply and tried to push Cora away and let herself walk, but, in the end, she pulled Cora, and they were going to fall on the ground. “Shit, Lana!” However, right before Lana fell on the cold and hard floor, someone with broad arms, and a magnificent scent, caught her, and the man pushed Cora gently. Lana frowned when she heard Cora’s gasps, and her face burned red when she heard that name… “Ace…” The tipsy Lana earlier became sobber and suddenly moved away from the grasp of the man. She dragged Cora outside. “Hey! W-Wait… Lana!” They stopped when Cora shouted her name. Lana turned to her. “What?” Cora arched her brow and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “What’s wrong with you?” “I… I’m sorry. I just don’t want to see Ace—” “He helped us. If he didn’t catch you, we both fell on the ground, and who knows if that happens and your head bumped into the cold and hard floor?” Lana heaved a deep sigh and was about to talk when her gaze caught Ace’s figure, who was
walking towards them. She felt chills in her body. The hair of her skin rose. And her eyes grew big. “Lana…” “Hmm… I think I need to go by myself, Cora. You can go and find a hunky once you call a cab for me,” she said straight and didn’t bother to cast a glance back again to Ace. At this moment, Ace could feel the fear lingering in his professor. Well, she’s younger, and a one- year gap is no big deal. It’s been a month since he liked his prof in that last subject. And her, being his freaking dad’s pet, made him want her more—wanting to punish her. She has a good body—Oh, fuck, Ace, drop it, he cursed inside his head.
