Bad Timing ♡

Adelaide’s POV

her outfit (for uni tomorrow)

“I only trust in the things I feel, Some may say that's strange, You better recognize what is real, Cause forever is a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long tiiiiiiiiime” I sang as loud as I could as I drove through the rain to my house. I banged my hands on the steering wheel in time with the beat, only to let out my anger.

“Mum, he was meant to be really nice, he was meant to be my friend…”

“Add, you’ve only known him for two days. You’re going to make plenty more friends, you’ll have forgotten about him soon. Okay? He’s not worth it.”

I sighed. “You’re right.”

“Who knows? Maybe that girl was a nasty ex-girlfriend who was jealous? You can’t believe everything you hear.”

I felt a smile grow on my face. “You always know what to say mom.”

She laughed. “You go off to bed now.”

“Ok, night mama.”

“Night dear.”

I placed my phone down on my bedside table and lay back on my bed.

I thought about getting up and brushing my teeth, making a cup of warm milk and coming back to bed to read, but the thoughts got warmer and warmer until they were simple dreams floating around in my head.

My alarm clock sprung to life and I woke up immediately, scrambling around in my sheets until I fell off my bed.

“Oof.”

I got up slowly and rubbed my head.

I knew I had uni, so a lazily walked to my wardrobe and grabbed on the first thing I saw.

I threw down a bit a toast as I ran out to the car.

The drive to uni was easy; I got lucky and had green lights all the way through.

I parked in my usual spot and ran up to my class.

Bursting through the door, I was met by every single pair of eyes in the room.

“Late again Adelaide.” The professor muttered, clearly annoyed that I’d disrupted his class.

“Yes. Uh, Sorry about that. I fell off my bed…”

A few snickers came from the seats behind me.

“Up to your seat.”

I followed orders and stumbled up the stairs.

Harry was sitting in his usual spot, and the only spare seat in the room was next to him.

“Uh, I’ll just squeeze in, sorry.” I uttered, pushing past Harry.

My ass gently rubbed his chest and he groan lightly.

“Oh, sorry.” I blushed bright red.

“No worries at all.”

I sat down and tried to focus on my work, but Harry was wearing incredibly strong cologne and I couldn’t help but get distracted.

Add, focus. He isn’t all Mr. nice guy.

“What cologne are you wearing?” I whispered before I could stop myself.

“You like it? It’s Calvin Klein.”

“I love it.”

Harry put his hand on mine on the desk, and rubbed his wrist on it. The warmth from my skin and his caused a noticeable friction, and Harry had it written all over his face that he was enjoying it.

As much as I was too, he pulled his hand away. “Smell your hand.”

I choked a little on my own saliva, and got a few sidewards glances from people who were sitting close to Harry and I. I ignored them and focused on Harry. “What?!”

“Hah, get your mind out of the gutter; I rubbed my cologne on you.”

I blushed a little and smelt the back of my hand.

I let out a small moan. “That’s too good.”

///

The words “Class dismissed!” caused the usual push and shove to the door.

Harry put his hand on my lower back and led me through the crowd.

“Not you Adelaide.”

I looked at Harry, who shrugged before nodding towards the teacher. “Want me to wait for you?”

“No, you go ahead. I’ll see you later.”

I watched as Harry left before heading over to the professor. “Yes Sir?”

“Adelaide, you’ve been late to all your classes ever since you’ve started here, and your other teachers have noticed it too. You can’t miss out on anything here, or you won’t be able to get your degree.”

“Yeah, I’m sorry about that… I don’t have a proper explanation other than I sleep through my alarm.”

“Well, I’d consider moving on campus so you can get to class on time.”

“Uh, I don’t think I’d be able to afford that…” I muttered, pushing my bag further up my shoulder.

“The school can take care of that, as long as we have your guarantee to be to class on time, every day.”

“Well, I can certainly try.”

“Addison…” He said sternly.

“Okay okay, yes sir.”

“I’ll talk to the dominant and you’ll be moved in in no time.”

I dragged myself out of the room, but was shocked with suprise at I exited.

“I waited.” I looked down at him.

"Thank you..." I smiled sheepishly.

He got up and dusted his hands on the back of his jeans. “So, what’d he want?”

“I’m moving on campus because I’m always late to class." I told him as we started to walk slowly down the corridor.

“I live on campus!”

“Really?” I asked, confused. “I thought you didn’t, because your car is out there and-”

“I need a car to visit my mom and stuff, but yeah, I do live here.” He smiled.

“Well, that’s exciting.” I giggled as he swerved his hand around my waist.

And you know what?

I let him.
