Once inside the car, he slammed his hands against the steering wheel and cursed. His heart was racing so fast and his mind was on overdrive. He berated himself for being so fucking stupid and crazy for stalking a student. It could cost him everything, his profession, his marriage and his life. Seconds later, he struggled out of the car and fell down in the gravel. He stayed on his hands and knees until the urge to vomit passed. He put his hand inside his pocket to get the blue handkerchief but it wasn’t there. A few minutes later and with his head pounded mercilessly, he started the engine and drove away.  

When Richard got home, he convinced himself that what he felt towards Christina was dangerous and that he needed to find a way to erase them. He spent the rest of the summer focusing on being a good husband to Patricia and he even bought himself a Golden Retriever. Months had flown by so fast, another school year came and by this time, Christina was on her senior year in Harvard business school.

Richard was feeling good that he thought he was finally over with his crazy infatuation with the beautiful blonde but he was mistaken. One afternoon while having coffee at the cafeteria, Christina approached him and asked if she could join him in his table. With his heart beating so fast he graciously said yes. He tried his very best to remain as composed as possible but the way the young blonde looked at him was making it extremely difficult for him.  

Christina told him that she had a hard time keeping up with her grades in Math especially that he suddenly pulled out of the class in the last few months of the school year and blamed him for almost failing the subject. 

Richard apologized and told her that failing his students wasn’t his intention at all why he left. She asked him what was the reason of his sudden leave but he politely declined and said that it was too personal. Christina told him that she missed him as his professor and that there was one way that he could make up with her and that was to give her a private tutorial.
