One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 70 Audrey

I could hardly move, I just stood there, stunned, as I watched the convertible disappear down the coastal road. Was that really Edwin in that car with a beautiful woman beside him? It couldn't be... could it? "Audrey?" The sound of Tina's voice snapped me out of my trance, and I turned to see her and the others all staring at me with concerned expressions on their faces. "What's wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost or something."

I shook my head as if to dispel my thoughts and forced a smile, returning to my friends. "It's nothing." I lied. "I just thought I saw. never mind. I must be seeing things."

"Are you sure?" Betty asked, leaning forward to get a better look at me. "You've gone a bit pale."

"Yeah, I'm fine," I insisted as I sat back down on the blanket. "Must be the beer playing tricks on me."

As I settled back around the warmth of the bonfire's flames, Gavin eyed me suspiciously. "You know, if you're not feeling well, we can call it a night."

"No, really, I'm fine." I said, perhaps a bit too forcefully. I picked up a piece of driftwood and tossed it into the fire, watching as the flames licked it up hungrily. My friends, somewhat unsatisfied, returned to their conversation.

For the rest of the night, though, I couldn't get that convertible out of my mind. That familiar side profile, that shock of dark hair, those large arms.. Beside a beautiful woman with blonde hair poking out from beneath a silk scarf.

Edwin, on a vacation with his new girlfriend

What were the odds?

The next evening, we decided to hit up the local club for some drinks and dancing after another afternoon of laying on the beach. It was just Tina and I who were going out; the others decided to hang back and watch a movie. As we got ready in the cottage, Tina cornered me in the bathroom.

*So, are you going to talk to any guys tonight?" she asked as she applied her lipstick in the mirror.

I sighed as I poked at my sunburnt shoulder. "Tina, I told you-

"I know, I know," she interrupted. "But hear me out. You don't have to sleep with anyone. Just... flirt a little. Meet some new people. It might help take your mind off of you-know-who."

I considered her words as I applied my own makeup. Maybe she was right. After all, Edwin had taken up so much space in my mind that I had actually imagined seeing him driving down the road yesterday, Still, my gaze wandered to Gavin, who was sitting on the couch in the other room.
