Sketchy love – Chapter 7 (Iowa & Abigail)

Next day at the college was a nightmare. She and Maria were studying on their table. They both were engrossed in the task, checking maths questions and were trying to find the answers. Eyes were flicking from question sheet to an answer sheet and back to make sure the answers match. Then, suddenly she glanced up for some reason and found herself locked in the acute bright blue eyes standing at the corner of the desk staring at her. “Abigail” (his gaze was unwavering and intense) he forwarded his hand. It took a moment for her to understand what happened all of a sudden. “Iowa” she replied. “What the hell is he doing here in the mathematics class?” (She pondered) Looking all out doorsy with his tousled hair. Iowa mouth had popped open after this sudden reaction and she couldn’t locate her brain or her voice. “Abigail” she whispered Why are you here?” she didn’t know why she just asked this. There was a ghost of a smile on Abigail’s lips and his eyes were alight with humour. Iowa felt like he was enjoying some private joke. “I was in the area.” Abigail replied by way of explanation. “By the way it’s a pleasure to see you again Iowa.” His voice was warm and husky like a dark melted chocolate. Iowa shanked her head to gather her wits. Her heart was pounding at a frantic pace, and for some reason she was blushing furiously under his steady scrutiny. He smiled, and again it was like he was privy to some big secret. That was so disconcerting. Iowa took a deep breath and finally her cognitive functions were restored and reconnected with the rest of her body. “I am looking for accounts professor” he said. “Have you seen him?” She was totally lost. She muttered “ummm I don’t know Abigail.” “Is there anything else I can help you with” Iowa asked him. He replied with a smile “sure,” “will you help me to find the professor, if you’re not so busy.” “Yes, of course why not” she said, her eyes blinking rapidly.
