"Alexandria."
"Hmm, who is calling me?" Alexandria felt that she was floating in mid-air in darkness. She looked around her to see if there was something.
Nothing.
She looked around and walked forward to find ant forms of life.
"Alexandria."
The young woman stopped in her tracks; the voice sounded masculine. "Richard, is that you?" There was no response, and Alexandria became nervous. She was about to call again but felt her feet wrapped in something hard and cold. When looking down, her eyes widened.
Chains.
Her feet and legs were chained. Other chains appeared within the darkness and went toward Alexandria. She tried to get away, but the chains on her feet and legs were so tight that it refrained her from moving. The other chains wrapped around her body; Alexandria screamed.
Suddenly, a firm, strong hand emerged from the darkness, covering Alexandria's lips. The young woman was consumed with fear. She couldn't turn her head, but when she glanced, her eyes widened.
"You will soon be mine."
"AAAAHHH!" Alexandria woke up and sat up from the bed, looking around. "It was a dream." She remembered that Richard had let her sleep in his condo. The condo was bigger than her home, and more than six people could fit in it.
When looking at the time, it was 7:15 am, and it was almost time to go to her first class, which would be with Richard. He mentioned picking her up early; Alexandria didn't want to be late. She got out of bed, dressed, and got her things for her classes. Just as she was about to get out, her phone vibrated; Richard informed her that he was outside the condo parking lot.
The young woman locked the doors with the keys she had been given and went down to the parking lot outside the buildings. Upon arrival, Richard was seen standing out of his car. When he noticed Alexandria, he smiled. "Good morning. I hope you slept well."
Alexandria stopped before him as she clenched her folder and textbook. "I did, to an extent. Again, you don't know how much I appreciate this."
Richard opened the passenger door and motioned for her to enter. She did, and Richard drove on the road with the door closed, going to the driver's side. "Again, it is my pleasure helping you out. Did you eat breakfast?"
"No, I woke up late. Don't worry, I can survive until lunch."
The Professor noticed Alexandria's fidgeting fingers. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"Huh?" The young woman got out of her thoughts. She was surprised at how easily Richard could read her. It was pointless to try to hide what she was thinking. "I did. I dreamt being wrapped around in chains in the dark and Elliot was..."
"I see. I think it's best not to speak more of this. You're going through a lot right now. Let's grab a quick Starbucks." Alexandria was about to intervene to pay, but Richard beat her to it. "I would not allow a lady to pay for me. I wouldn't have bothered if I couldn't afford it." He stopped at a Starbucks close to the University, where he ordered what they both wanted.
Alexandria couldn't help but feel her heart beat rapidly whenever she glanced at her Professor. It wasn't professional or right for a Professor and student to be in their particular situation. She couldn't deny it but felt excited to do the forbidden. Once their drinks and food were paid for, they were on the road again until they arrived at the University's parking lot. "Thanks for the breakfast. You have done so much for me. I-I was hoping to pay you back. Maybe when you're done with work and I'm with my classes, I can buy you dinner."
Richard chuckled as he took a sip of his coffee. Whenever he went on dates, he was the one who always paid. His mother raised him to be a gentleman, but Richard was careful about who he dated since many women would always jump at the opportunity to get a free meal. However, Richard wasn't innocent either, as he would sleep with the women he dated, and many of them were attracted to him due to his status and looks. Alexandria was different; she was the first to offer to pay anything.
He knew it wasn't right, but it made him feel good.
The young woman thought Richard would reject the offer and decided to change it. "Or how about this: I can cook you something! My friends always tell me that I'm a natural. Tell me what you like, and I will make it!"
A home-cooked meal sounded good. The Professor knew how to cook specific recipes but didn't consider himself the greatest. It wouldn't hurt to eat alone in his condo with his students. "I-I guess you could say I love a good medium-rare steak with some vegetables. Tell you what, we can go to the grocery store and get the ingredients. My last class will end at 4 pm."
"My last class will end at 3:45 p.m., so it will be perfect!" The two got out of the vehicle and walked straight to the campus. "Well, I will see you later, Professor," Alexandria said in a low and almost seductive voice. She then walked away, leaving Richard alone.
Richard massaged the back of his neck. "I feel that I'm in trouble."
