Trapped by His Words

James deliberately brought Laura to his apartment first, he didn't want Laura to run away and lock the door like a few days ago after kissing his cheek in front of Laura's apartment door.

"Let's stop by my place first Laura," said James as he turned off the engine in his basement apartment.

"Okay." Laura answered briefly and immediately got out of James's car.

James took Laura's fingers to the 12th floor without letting go of her grip for a second until they reached his apartment.

"Welcome home!" cried James, taking off his shoes.

Laura took off her boots and walked over to the living room sofa where she had slept last night.

James brought her a bottle of cold mineral water from the fridge.

"Tired?" James asked, sitting down next to Laura.

"Not bad." Laura answered simply.

She looked at the large window panel on the east side of the room.

"Want to see the city view from there?" James asked again and Laura nodded.

James also accompanied Laura to see the view of the city which was more like thousands of points of light, today the weather was clear and the stars and moon were clearly visible in the dark night sky.

James hugged Laura's body from behind, Laura was initially surprised by James's spontaneous action, but then she got used to it and felt comfortable in the man's arms.

James was tall and so sturdy, his arms were warm and gave off a protective aura. It seemed like this was the third time Laura was in his arms but this time without having to collide with him again.

Suddenly Laura laughed and James wondered what was wrong with her. "Hey why are you suddenly laughing to yourself?"

"Remember our first meeting in the campus lobby that morning? Then when the power went out too? Why do we always collide? Are you on purpose?" Laura said, looking at James.

"Hahaha .... I'm sure it was the goddess of love who sent you into my arms. Because you were stubborn, she threw you to me. Try to be calm like this, it doesn't hurt," replied James rags to the max.

"Aishh can that be ..." Laura exclaimed while pinching James's arm which was still wrapped around her body possessively.

"Aww hurts, Honey!" shouted James as his arm was pinched hard.

He turned Laura's body to face him and bit her lips hungrily. Laura was surprised but James's kiss was warm and sweet like the red wine they had been drinking, making her feel drunk with a strange feeling she didn't recognize. James removed his grip from Laura's lips as they were almost out of breath.

So breathless .... Laura was unsteady and almost fell, but James swiftly pulled Laura's body back into his arms. The two of them were still reorganizing their breathing and heart pounding wildly.

"Laura ... I love you," said James in between gasping breaths.

"Love you too James," Laura replied quietly.

However, James heard it very clearly and smiled broadly. James looked at Laura intensely and said. "One time in my life, I found love and I will only share that love with you until my last breath. That's my promise. Wait for me until I graduate to become a veterinarian, Laura. I will marry you. Say YES honey?!"

"Yes." Laura said not rejecting James again, though in her heart she wasn't sure if this was true.

But if James's feelings for her changed in the middle of their relationship, she had to let him go without a doubt. This is James's first love experience, Laura thinks James is still a child.

While Laura had fallen in love and broken up dozens of times, she knew very well that everything was beautiful at first but bitter in the end. The tearful night with a row of exes is a silent witness that love is not eternal and has wings, it can fly away at any time.

James kissed her lips again and it was hard for her to think straight. Lovesick. Laura couldn't resist James's kisses, which was so delicious it made her soar. When they finished kissing, Laura's lips were swollen. James actually devoured her lips earlier.

James lay on the sofa with his head in Laura's lap. It was so relaxing that he fell asleep, never had he felt so peaceful, in his lover's arms.

Laura stroked James's head gently like a child's sleep. Laura glanced at her watch, it was 11:45 PM. Actually she wanted to go home but James seemed so exhausted and fell asleep on her lap.

Laura looked at the handsome face of James who was sleeping. This man must have broken many women's hearts if he chose to be a playboy. But Laura chose to believe James's words that Laura was his first love.

Laura once checked James's college grades for 6 semesters through the campus website for the student academic section, his grades were always almost perfect 98% of the contents of his GPA transcript were A. It wouldn't have happened if James didn't focus on his studies.

The work of the Microbiology Lab assistant is very hard, plus Laura knows that Prof. Widya, the head of the Microbiology department, really trusts James to help do a lot of his research.

When compared to a thesis, it is very unequal, Prof. Widya's research is equivalent to a master's thesis. Laura repeatedly heard Prof Widya praising his golden student when they met on campus.

The end of term exams were a months away, Laura hoped that James's lectures wouldn't be disrupted by their recent closeness. Maybe she'll talk to James about this later.

Laura finally fell asleep sitting on the sofa. James finally woke up in the dawn and he felt guilty for letting Laura fall asleep on the couch. He also carried Laura to his room and laid Laura on his king size spring bed.

It was too much of a hassle to wake Laura up and drive her home to Royal Heritage. Let Laura sleep in his room tonight. James covered Laura's body with his blanket and he slept next to her, hugging her. Laura's breathing was so steady and calm, she slept soundly in James's warm embrace.

The day has changed and the morning has risen. James has been awake since 05.00, his body has been adjusted to wake up at that time, he usually does light exercises such as push ups, sit ups, squat jumps and skipping. But this morning he wanted to look at the face of his lover who was still asleep in his arms.

Laura finally woke up surprised because she was on the bed in James's arms. She sat down and was silent.

"Good morning, My Honey," said James, smiling so charmingly.

"Morning too dear. I want to be angry," Laura replied with a chuckle.

James laughed, he knew Laura must be upset because last night James took her to sleep with him even though they didn't do anything forbidden.

"You slept so soundly last night, I couldn't bear to wake you up," James said defensively.

Without permission James kissed Laura's lips again. Morning kisses. He had become addicted to those beautiful red lips.

"That's it, James. Aren't you tired of kissing me since last night?" Laura protested trying to free herself from the entanglement of James and the blanket.

James's lower body hardened and Laura noticed it. "Don't be like that, I don't want to. In the morning, you're just awesome. sob sob." said Laura pretending to cry.

"Hahaha... It's impossible honey, I may be horny but it won't matter what you do. I'm still a virgin." James replied defensively.

"Oh my love..." he said and kissed Laura's lips again.

Laura did enjoy James's kisses but she had to end it soon, they had to go to campus this morning. "Honey, we have to get ready to go to campus soon."

"I'll take a shower first, My Honey, after this I'll take you to your apartment," said James who still managed to steal a hot kiss on Laura's lips before he rushed to the bathroom.

Laura went into the kitchen to check what ingredients she could make with James for breakfast. She found plain bread, cheese, lettuce and eggs in the refrigerator.

She immediately made 1 sunny side up egg and 1 omelette and then arranged them in layers with cheese and lettuce along with mayonnaise and tomato sauce. One plate for James, one plate for herself because she didn't know what James' favorite egg preparation was.

She waited for James to finish bathing. Brew a pot of coffee to accompany the breakfast sandwich.

James also looks neat and fresh. He walked to the pantry and sat across from Laura.

"Do you like sunny side up eggs or omelette? Want some coffee?" Laura asked.

"Omelette. Yes I want a cup of coffee. Thank you." James answered quickly because he knew Laura must be in a hurry.

They eat breakfast while smiling at each other. James looked so happy, someone took care of his breakfast even though the menu was simple. "I love you My Honey."

Laura smiled sweetly and replied, "Love you too Beb."

He finished his breakfast and took his bag. James took his college backpack and led Laura to the basement where his car was parked.

Finally they arrived at Laura's apartment. Laura immediately ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower under the cold shower.

Laura put on a bathrobe and chose her work clothes. A navy blue silk shirt and black knee-length pleated skirt, she wrapped a rainbow-colored abstract scarf and locked it with a gold lily-shaped brooch.

Laura was dressed as usual with powder and lipstick in coral nude color. She doesn't forget to wear deodorant and her favorite perfume, Elizabeth Arden.

After everything was ready she came out of her bedroom and saw James was still in her apartment.

"Why don't you go first James?" Laura asked.

"Shall we go together?" said James.

"Go in your own car, okay?" Laura replied again, they stood face to face.

"Okay My Honey, we'll go by our own car. Ahh yes, please give me a kiss before leaving for campus." James asked while holding Laura's face.

They were very passionate about each other.

"James, promise not to call me affectionate on campus and not to have physical contact with me while on campus. I don't want any gossip about us." Laura warned James seriously.

"Goodbye, The Beautiful Professor Laura. I promise. Trust me." James reassured Laura.

They walked hand in hand to the basement where the red HRV and white Fortuner were parked side by side.
