"Look at me", he ordered again, when i had made no effort to raise my head from the position it was in.
I noticed the change in his tone and I knew I was getting him more angry.
Lifting my head slowly, I looked at him. A tiny gasp escaping from my lips.
I knew he had beautiful eyes but from up close it felt different.
His dark grey eyes with tiny flecks of green stared at me.
He lifted his perfect mouth into a tiny smile when he heard me gasp and noticed I was staring at those gorgeous eyes.
I kicked myself again, this time both mentally and physically.
I wasn't meant to be admiring this man.
First off he was my math lecturer.
Secondly, I had an hot as hell boyfriend.
Just immediately, I felt my phone vibrate in my bag, and without thinking. I brought it out to check who had texted.
And just as I thought it was Leo.
I chuckled seeing his message and then sending a reply text.
A text from Kai and Marcellina was also blinking at me from my screen. I was about to click on it when I heard the clearing of throat from Mr Kyrios.
I knew I had fucked up big time, how could I have forgotten about him.
"Miss Sophia, you know very well what you have just done is not only disrespectful but also disregarding and you could get punished for it".
"I remember asking you to look at me". He added.
I placed my phone back in my brown leather bag, turning to face him once more, wondering what was wrong with him and how he expected me to focus on what he had to say, when he looked like he was.
"You know why you are seated here right?", he asked further when he was certain he had my full attention.
I looked at him gulping, "Yes Sir", "I do"
"Mr Kyrios"
"Pardon"
Respond with "Yes Mr Kyrios", "Miss Sophia", he answered me, looking me in the eye, then bending down to retrieve something from his desk.
"The reason you are here Miss Sophia", "Is because you failed".
"Not only did you fail", "You failed with a very low score of fourteen". He said, finally dropping what he had bent to receive.
Right on the table in between both of us sat my exam paper with the exam score written boldly.
"Can you explain why this happened Miss Sophia?", My Kyrios continued.
"What is the problem Miss Sophia", "Do I not teach well enough." He asked raising his head to stare into my eyes with those sexy eyes of him, only that this time I didn't think it was sexy because I was more concentrated on my exam score.
"I don't understand what you teach half of the time", I heard myself say, my voice coming out as really small and panicky
"Then why don't you ask questions", he asked, his face relaxing a bit.
"Because...", I started, "I don't know", ending what I had to say.
"Talk to me", "I am here to help".
"I am scared most of the time to ask questions in class", I breathed out, watching Mr Kyrios face,
"Why", "You don't come off as someone shy".
"I am not", "I just don't know how you will respond to my question", "besides nobody has ever asked anything in class".
"I didn't want to be the first".
"You were late today, care to explain the reason why?"He asked, changing the topic from my failed course.
"And did you understand anything today Sophia?"
"No", "I am sorry Mr Kyrios", "for being late and for not paying attention in class".
I replied to him lowering my head.
"I will help you Sophia," "I will tutor you personally for both the course you failed and this one you are having now."
"And if by the end of the session you still don't get an A, "I will quit my job".
I raised up my head, shock evident on my face. Mr Kyrios was offering to teach me himself, that was beyond shocking.
The part where he said he was going to quit his job was going to be an extra motivation.
There was no way I was going to be the reason to not see this handsome Man's face again.
There was no way I would take away a man as sexy as he was from the grounds of Harvard.
People were going to hate me for sure.
Male and Female alike,. only that they wouldn't know why he had quit.
"Thank you Sir"
"Thank You so much sir"
I said when I could finally find my voice.
I really appreciate, I said again, bowing my head as i repeated the thanks.
This man has just saved me a lot of stress and worry, and I was certain that having him teach me personally would help me a lot.
"Hand your phone to me Miss Sophia." Mr Kyrios said breaking into my thoughts.
'What did he need my phone for", "I thought as I handed it over to him.
He handed me my phone after a while.
"I will text you", he said, then telling me I was free to go.
"What was that about"
"I didn't know Mr Kyrios was your sugar daddy.
Marcellina and Kai said together.
I looked at Kai, staring daggers at him. "He is not my sugar daddy, and I do not have one." I replied him then adding a tiny hiss.
"I will tell you later," I said facing Marcellina.
I still needed time to process what had happened and to decide if I wanted to tell them I had failed a course.
I know, best friend and all, but I wasn't sure I was comfortable sharing that with them yet.
I didn't know what their reaction would be.
I breathed out once more, glad I wouldn't have to be meeting Ivan Petrov. There was no way he would have agreed to tutor me without knowing the full story, and like I said, I wasn't sure I was ready to let them know.
