Thread: Claiming The Wolf (Hatchet & ScarlettRose)

As she left his office, she could have died right then! What had she said?! And then to offer him a free meal?! She was out of her mind! She barely noticed the girl she passed, all Alyssa could think about was getting away fast as she could. When she had recounted the tale to Nina, her roommate, the woman had keeled over in stitches. This kind of stuff wasn't supposed to happen to her. It took two good long days for the whole encounter to slowly leave the forefront of her mind. Plus, the Professor had done her the great favour of ignoring her in his class, which worked wonderfully for her. Though, this time she had found herself paying more attention to his lecture and previous nights episode of The Bachelorette was far out of her mind. By the time it was the weekend, her anxiety about the Professor taking her up on her offer had also waned. For, she was sorely hoping he wouldn't take her up on it. So far he hadn't shown. So far so good! It was a normal busy weekend at Gio's. Gio was another asshole. But he was her boss and as per usual he was incompetent and shouting at her for his imcompetencies. Alyssa had learn't to grit and bare it. After all, she needed the pay check and jobs weren't easy to come by. At least, jobs where she could work at night because she had school in the day time. Nights like these, it was absolutely exhausting but what other choice did she have? There were three tables waiting for service and Chloe the other waitress working this side of the room had decided to go for a cigarette break leaving Alyssa to man the fort. She had heard the word douche from behind her and it made her grin. She knew the table was waiting for service but it just reminded her of her scene earlier in the week. She supposed it had been a little while now and she was out of the woods enough to be able to laugh about it at least a little. Grabbing the note pad and pencil from her apron she turned and greeted the two men seated. What can I get you two handsome fellows tonight? She smiled, readying her pad and pencil when she did a double take. The blood almost draining from her face. Professor Locke? Alyssa staggered. It almost appeared as she was shocked to see him here. Well, she kinda was . . . What in the world? Alyssa thought, the emotions playing across her face. Confusing. Anxiety. Annoyance. Before she managed to culture her features into a pleasant smile. And what was he wearing? It was . . . Stylish. And she had to grudgingly agree that he was pretty hot when he wasn't being a stuffy, snotty Maths Professor. She could hardly belief it was the same man. No. He wasn't hot. She rounded on her own perception. He was rude and . . . just plain beastly! She suspected she had just to wait for him to open his mouth. Nonetheless, she had offered him a meal on the house. I'm glad you took me up on the offer. She lied with a deceptively congeal smile. Offering her hand to the other gentleman. I'm Alyssa Sanchez. Professor Locke's best student. She joked, shaking the mans hand. I'd say his class is my favourite, She began to laugh nervously as the verbal diarrhea was starting again. But no one ever would believe that! She laughed harder, wiping her palm against her apron. It was beginning to sweat. Wow! It's hot today huh? She cleared her throat, forcing herself to calm down, she concentrated on her pad. So what can I get you guys? It's all on the house.
