Alex POV

                           **

I looked up from the papers I was holding to look at him.

I was screwed!

I should tutor Lucas Cage?

The mighty.. Sexy.. Hot.. Charming Lucas Cage?

I couldn't do it..

No way..

"Hold on, did you say you're here to tutor someone? "

He finally asked.

My eyes sprang up.

"Well, I guess its a coincidence.. "

I managed to mutter.

He couldn't be the one I was asked to tutor.

Lucas Cage was the death of me.. My very own weakness.

I faked a bold smile.

He sat up, placing his arms on the table.

"You're my tutor Ugly.. "

He spat out.. My heart sunk..

How could they do this to me?

I tried to find the closest exit from the library.. The air was suffocating me.

"So. Sit your ass down and start my lessons"

The way he said the word "ass" made my cheeks redden.

I did my best to avoid his gaze.. Which was totally fixed on me.

I sat down on the chair at the other side of the table, flipping through some text books.

I cleared my throat,

"Well, first we will start with Applied Mathematics "

My eyes met his for a split second and the way he looked at made my insides turn.

"Okay, what about applied mathematics? "

He said. Clearly eyes-flirting with me.

I cleared my throat, looking up at him.

He had no text books, no notebooks, just a ball pen he used to draw invincible circles on the textbooks.

"Where are your studying materials Lucas? "  I asked, trying to look as serious as I could.

He looked startled for a second. Then his annoying.. And sexy..smirk.

"Well, I'm not interested studying anything besides your lips Ugly"

My eyes lit up!

Those dirty words of his made my ears redden, despite my dark complexion.

I cleared my throat and tried to sound as formal as I could.

There's no room for formality around him Alex.

My subconscious stated.

I frowned as I looked up at him.

"Well Mr Cage, unfortunately I'm not being paid to do teach you my lips, but I'm paid to put some knowledge into that empty brain of yours"

Fuck!

How rude did I sound?

I immediately realized I had crossed my limits when he opened up a textbook and buried his gaze in it.

He must have been mad at me.. I could feel it!

"Lucas.. I"

He raised his index finger up. As a sign that I shouldn't call him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.. Honestly I.. "

"Be quiet, before I lose my very reserved temper Alexander Corona"

My heart skipped a beat..

For some reason, I wasn't comfortable at the sound of my own name!

"I am dumb, and I accept it. But, if you're gonna make this work. You're gonna have to mind your own business"

He spat out..

Don't cry Alex

I tried to tell myself. But it was too late..

His face was buried deep into the text book he was reading.

I sighed, chewing my pen and starring at him.

A/N:

Forgive me for my short chapters and grammatical errors.. I am only a learner.. 😫..

If you see this part of the story.. Just know that I love you all😘
