One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 192 Audrey

Saturday night, I found myself in Tina's dorm room, surrounded by my friends as we prepared for a night out. The air was thick with the scent of hairspray and perfume, laughter echoed off the walls, and music played from the bluetooth speake

on Tina's bedside table. My head already buzzed slightly from pregame shots we had all shared, and my fingers tingled with anticipation.

It felt like ages since we had all been together like this, just the girls, carefree and excited for a night on the town. I was glad it was finally happening.

"I can't believe we're finally doing this," Tina said, carefully applying a coat of mascara. "It feels like forever since we've all gone out together."

I nodded, smoothing down the front of my new dress-a slinky black number that hugged my curves in all the right places. I'd bought it earlier today, wanting tonight to be extra special. "I know," I said, reaching for a bobby pin to pin my silver streak out of sight-just to be safe. "I've missed this so much."

Betty emerged from the bathroom, her dark hair perfectly styled in loose waves down her back. "Audrey, you look amazing! Edwin's going to be so jealous that he's not coming with us."

I felt a twinge of guilt at the mention of Edwin, but I pushed it aside. We had talked, and he understood that I needed this night with my friends. He had promised that he would remain in his office tonight, grading papers and not following me around to make sure I was alright.

If I was honest, the idea of not having him with me did fill me with a sense of anxiety. There really was no knowing exactly when Coldclaw might send more rogues after me, and for that reason, he had made me keep pepper spray in my purse, had instructed. me to hide my silver streak in order to keep my identity private, and had helped me brush up on some of my defense maneuvers just in case.

I doubted that anything would happen in a crowded club, surrounded by my friends. But it felt good to have the extra protection.

Once we were all ready, the four of us piled into a cab, giggling and chattering as we made our way to the club. The neon lights of the city blurred past the windows, and I felt my anxiety quickly being replaced by excitement.

"Let's make a pact," Tina said as we pulled up to the club, the bass already thrumming through the air. "No boy talk tonight. This is all about us girls."
